‘Now, it wants me to find the murderer in a killing spree?’ I let out a dry laugh at the absurd demands of this system. I was already irritated by the sheer difficulty of this mission of finding the culprit of a murder case entirely unrelated to me, without a single hint, when I hadn’t even managed to find the child who’d killed me in my previous life. The most ridiculous part, of course, was the reward for completing this nonsensical mission. “Success will help me recover lost memories?…- 537.6 K • Ongoing
- Jen clutched the bag slung over his shoulder, glancing nervously around the forest. The moonlight, now hidden behind clouds, cast an eerie glow over the trees, and the sounds of animals echoing around him made his skin crawl. “Damn it. What the hell is going on?” He thought he wouldn’t get lost, considering he’d practically been living here for days, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t figure out which way led out. Just as he swallowed a curse and stepped forward, the clouds…

- “And even if, by some rare chance, it were true, who else would care for a servant like me as much as you do? If other servants from different families heard about today, they’d all be lining up to work for you!” “....” “Of course, even if they did, I’d still be the one serving you.” Her triumphant expression was so endearing that I couldn’t help but laugh. Only after noticing my expression relax did she speak up again. “So please, accept my thanks.” “....” “I…

- At his words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly shifted. Perideline mumbled in a dazed tone as if she didn’t understand what Estieren had just said. “Brother, what in the world are you saying…” Eventually, I parted my tightly closed lips as I met Estieren’s clear blue eyes, which were fixed intently on mine. “Are you suggesting, Your Highness, that since people are misunderstanding us, we should actually become lovers to put an end to this injustice?” Although I asked him the…

- After my accident eight years ago, my father replaced many of the servants, blaming them for not taking proper care of me as a child. As a result, it became an unspoken rule among the Marquis’s servants not to mention that day… but I did overhear the servants talk about it once. It was the very day I regained consciousness. 〈 Did they really say she was found in Neitzia? Is that even possible? 〉 〈 I don’t know. From what I heard, there were rumors she traveled through…

- "I-I... I didn’t know at all." I stumbled over my words as memories of observing Marie’s condition flashed through my mind. Lev, who had been watching me as I buried my face in my hands with a distraught expression, continued speaking. "There's no need to blame yourself. I wasn’t asking to place blame on you." "What do you mean?" "It means there’s no need to worry that much yet." I blinked at his rather unexpected words, but my expression must have asked for more explanation because…

- “That’s why I invited her to today’s party, isn’t it?” Perideline said, folding her eyes prettily. “It was a party I put a lot of effort into preparing because I wanted to befriend everyone, but just a moment ago, Lady Michelle ruined it for me.” “That woman is the daughter of the Marquis of Aidelis, Young Lady Perideline!” “Yes, and you, Lady Michelle, are merely the daughter of the Count of Frejian.” Michelle bit her lips tightly at Perideline’s cold words. She…

- Michelle’s face turned as red as a tomato, perhaps thinking I was laughing at her. “W-What kind of rudeness is this?” “Oh, I’m sorry, Lady. It’s because your joke was just too funny.” “A joke?” “I thought you were joking. Could it really be that His Highness, who runs such a large merchant guild, has offered nothing more than the distribution rights to green grapes in order to welcome his consort? That’s too ridiculous to believe.” “....” “Unless it is a…

- The other ladies, who sensed the strange atmosphere, hurriedly responded with enthusiasm. As I expressed my gratitude and looked up, Michelle’s face was crumpled in apparent displeasure. ‘What’s going on?’ To be honest, since I had never bumped into her before, I had no idea why she was showing such aversion toward me. ‘Could it be because the Frejian family has a close relationship with the Grand Duchy of Kaisian?’ It was no secret that the County of Frejian, leading the warhorse…

Looking at me with eyes full of confusion, she stammered out her reply. “I-I feel a little burdened. I can’t believe you’d go to all this trouble because of me…” “....” “So, it might actually be less embarrassing to say there were some lingering…
