“What Brother said is true. There was no fairy.” “....?” “All this time, I believed the one who saved me was a fairy.” “What are you talking about?” Her hands clenched the blanket in response to his question. After a moment of contemplation, she began to speak. “I’m saying that the person who saved me from almost being swallowed by a demon eight years ago is the same person who saved me today.” “...What?” She faced Estieren, who was now looking at her with a…- 537.6 K • Ongoing
- ̊ · : * ✧* : · ̊ “I don’t particularly like Kaisian because of this. She acts all warmly and calls you a fairy, but the moment she hears the name ‘Aidelis,’ her expression hardens.” “It’s okay. I kind of expected it to some extent.” “....” “Thank you for helping today, Lord Diel.” When we returned to the Marquis’s mansion, I said my gratitude to Diel, who examined my features without saying a word. As he moved his fingers, the torn…

- “If you don't go, both of us will die anyway. So, the only way to save me is for you to go to the Duke's residence and ask for help.” A sob escaped from Emma’s lips at her words. Perideline took a deep breath and grasped her trembling hand firmly. “Can you do it, Emma?” “Please, please don't die, Young Lady.” “Alright, then...! Ugh!” At that moment, the man standing in front rushed towards her. He smirked as she struggled to block his sword. “It seems that the naive…

- ̊ · : * ✧* : · ̊ “Hmm, I don't think he's from Aidelis.” Diel, who was walking around the man frozen by petrification magic and examining his clothes, drew a sword from his waist. The shape of the sword body, which was slightly longer and curved compared to a dagger, caught his eyes. “Are you from Elkar?” The man's eyes shook violently at his words. I narrowed my brow as I observed the two frozen men. “It seems the barbarians that the Grand Duke had…

- Perideline, who had stopped in her tracks, pulled out Betiborn, the sword she had received as a birthday present from her brother Estieren last year. The blade, shining blue, glinted dangerously in the sunlight streaming through the dry branches. At the end of the sword’s hilt, a blue sapphire resembling her eyes was adorned. Though he gave her sword as a gift, Estieren’s words that she should never use it had long since been erased from her mind. With a smirk painted on her lips, she looked back…

- His head dropped as he stared at me blankly. I nervously wondered if such a pun would work on him as cold sweat seeped from my hands due to the tension. At that moment, his shoulders shook, and a chuckle echoed. “Ah, really… Young Lady, you always exceed my expectations.” “....” “And that makes it very amusing for me.” [ 〈 SYSTEM 〉 Diel Marsotis’s favorability increases by 2%.

- “How does a lady who can't even step outside the mansion know about the Empire’s situation as if she’s peering into the palm of her hand?" When I involuntarily flinched at his words, his gaze pierced sharply into my face. “In particular, it seems like the Lady even knows why I need magic ores secretly, without the Emperor's knowledge.” “....” “This is something even the Magic Tower doesn't know about yet.” ‘I made a mistake.’ I bit my lip as I belatedly realized this…

- ‘...Random penalty? Isn’t that crazy?’ My head throbbed painfully. A random penalty. In the end, it meant that if luck wasn't on my side, I could die because I failed this mission. Of course, if luck favored me, it might just mean a slight decrease in the favorability of the people involved, and that would be the end of it. In any case, since the penalty could mean death, relying solely on luck wasn't an option. ‘I have to succeed no matter what.’ I swallowed back my irritation…

- ‘It's okay. If it's Diel, he'll surely release her.’ If there was one thing I realized after dying several times, it was that pleas for sympathy didn't work with Diel. To him, there was no distinction between a human life and an insect's life. The only thing that mattered to him when he decided to do something was whether it was interesting or bothersome. So, in order to save Marie’s life now, it was more important to convey the fact that saving her was less troublesome than killing her than…

- I hurriedly raised my hand to shield my eyes as the light was strong enough to obscure my vision. Through my tightly closed eyelids, I could feel the light gradually fading away. ‘What on earth happened...?’ As I opened my eyes carefully and observed my surroundings, I could see a hand reaching for a chocolate cookie on a plate placed on my desk as my vision became clearer. “Is that your hand, Marie?” Instinctively, I called out Marie’s name, who was nearby, though the voice that…
