With his lips pursed for a moment, he eventually turned away and spoke. “...I feel sorry for you about what happened today. If there’s anything you want or if you need help, just say it.” “...” “...I’ll help you.” [ 〈 SYSTEM 〉 Heron Aidelis's favorability increases by 2%.

- I was flustered as I stared at the system window in front of me. ‘What on earth does that mean?’ I pondered over the sentence that I couldn't understand in my head over and over again. [ 〈 SYSTEM 〉 Ongoing mission — Find the lost fragments of memory Fragment of memory (0/2) ] No matter how many times I read it, the content didn’t change, but the numbers in the system window still seemed strange. ‘...It’s not just one…

- Until now, the main focus had been on guarding the border, and his superior had been himself, so it hadn't mattered much. Nonetheless, things would be different going forward. Moreover, while the Marquis might not be aware, it seemed that their young lord knew about Ban's rudeness towards Young Lady Aidelis. ‘I guess that’s why he exuded such fierceness on stage.’ That was why he went to see Ardi to rectify the situation. He planned to apologize again for Ban's rudeness and present her with the…

- ‘...Lost memory?’ I gnawed on my lips in dismay as I stared at the letters that appeared clearly on the system window. Amidst my confusion, the conversation between my father and the Grand Duke ended without me pressing the button right away. “Your Majesty will surely feel quite disappointed if you return to the border.” “It won't be like that. From now on, I’ll be seeing a lot of His Majesty and the Marquis in the future.” My father narrowed his eyes for a moment in response to…

- At my words, he silently gazed at the lapis lazuli brooch resting in my hand. I had expected him to take the brooch right away when I handed it to him, but for some reason, he didn't react, and his laid-back demeanor left me feeling uneasy. “Your Highness?” “I appreciate the kind words, but that brooch isn't mine.” “Yes?” “So, there's no need for you to return it to me.” The casual rejection sent a shiver of embarrassment down my spine. I shifted my gaze to the system window…

- ‘There was a route for Grand Duke Kaisian? No, why is the penalty like this?’ I couldn’t understand all the information that the system window showed me. Even the fact that the brooch given to me by the child was that of the Grand Duke and that his brooch was the key to opening a hidden route didn't make sense to me at all. No, what I found most unbelievable was the way the system seemed to be trying to force me to open the hidden route. ‘...There’s a penalty of refusal, and my health…

- “Ugh!” Then, in an instant, the tide reversed. The crowd's cheers reverberated through the arena as the situation took an unexpected turn. Heron barely managed to parry a sword thrust toward him in an instant while the corners of Estieren’s mouth twitched upward as if he hadn't expected him to block it. ‘Damn it.’ Heron was silently astonished as he faced Estieren’s successive sword strikes. Despite the fact that at such speed, the force was bound to be relatively light, yet the…

- “That… I think I saw Lady Perideline at the stadium.” Estieren’s brows narrowed at Ban’s words. The look on his face as if he was asking if that was the only reason he had called him was pricking his conscience. ‘...I’m dying too, Captain.’ In fact, the reason he was there was to monitor Estieren’s condition, following the Emperor’s strict order that he must not escape or withdraw from the competition now. So, the excuse he had come up with was Perideline. “O-of course,…

- When I turned my head, the Grand Duke was seen bowing towards me. “Looking at the situation, it appears that my adjutant has been disrespectful to you. It’s because he doesn’t know women very well, so please forgive his impoliteness.” “....” “Ban Foster.” “...I apologize, Young Lady.” In haste to offer an apology in response to the Grand Duke's call, Ban's gaze shifted towards my right hand, which was holding the brooch. Feeling uncomfortable with his stare, I clenched…

- 〈 Go and see how your brother is doing. 〉 Not long after the others started competing, my father, who couldn’t control his nervousness, told me to go to the waiting room and check on Heron’s situation. The first thought that came to my mind at my father's words was… ‘Is there any difference just because I'm going to check the condition?’ Whether Heron’s condition was good or bad, there was nothing my father could do. Since participating in his first martial arts competition…
