︵‿୨ ₊‧꒰ა ཐི༏ཋྀ ໒꒱ ˚₊ ୧‿︵ Before she knew it, she was deep into the busy autumn semester of her second year, barely able to catch her breath. Fortunately, Axion’s interest in teasing her had faded just as quickly as it had appeared, and things between them had returned to their usual, rather distant dynamic. “Even Sebastian must know by now.” She sighed quietly, running her hands down her face. To think she might actually graduate…- 723.2 K • Ongoing
- ‘...Anyone would think I’d run off and left my lover behind.’ Evelyn, utterly bewildered, let out a dry laugh and asked. “So you’re saying I just left without a word and came here?” She tried to keep her composure, but her eyebrows, angled at ten past ten, betrayed her unease. Seeing that, Axion, who had been quietly observing her, curved his lips into a refined, amused smile. “As if. What could possibly make me desperate enough for that?” At his crisp, clear-cut manner of…

- ︵‿୨ ₊‧꒰ა ཐི༏ཋྀ ໒꒱ ˚₊ ୧‿︵ In the heart of spring, amidst a flurry of colorful petals, the auditorium at Roxen Academy was crowded with students gathered for the entrance ceremony. The nervousness that came with such an unfamiliar place quickly faded, replaced by the flutter of anticipation evident on every face. It was a perfect day, filled with a gentle warmth that seemed to herald new beginnings. …If only the headmaster’s endless speech…

- Pffft— Evelyn sputtered out her tea at her friend’s sudden words. “Judging by your reaction, it seems there is something going on.” Chloe’s lips twitched with amusement as she offered a handkerchief. Meanwhile, wiping her mouth in a hurry, Evelyn frowned ever so slightly, as though she’d just heard something entirely improper. “Something? What are you talking about? It’s just you don’t know us very well. That’s not the kind of relationship we have.” “Well, you never…

- For this expedition, the paladin led by Khalid would be joining forces with Dahlia and her fellow priests. After all, in the chaos of battle, there could be no greater reassurance than a healer possessing such divine power. It struck her how carefully crafted the plot of the original story must have been, going to such lengths to create encounters between the female lead and the male lead. “Yes, I’ve heard the two of them make a rather striking pair.” Evelyn gave a small, faint nod of…

- Evelyn stifled a smile that kept threatening to break across her face and cleared her throat quietly. “Ahem, I do hope the new book is released soon.” “Well, it’s a most desirable novel, so I daresay the publishers should hurry.” Catching her meaning, one of the young ladies nodded with a satisfied smile. She even added that she would plead with her grandmother, if necessary, to help speed things along. The suggestion made everyone’s eyes sparkle with anticipation. “By the way,…

- ︵‿୨ ₊‧꒰ა ཐི༏ཋྀ ໒꒱ ˚₊ ୧‿︵ After dropping her off at the marquis’s residence, Axion immediately returned to Duke Valentino’s residence. Even after all that, Evelyn still had no idea what her busy fiancé truly intended by coming all the way to the orphanage. ‘Why bother coming at all, if that was all it was?’ She shook her head, hoping to dispel the idle thoughts. Just then, Jactor, who had arrived at the marquess’s house ahead of her,…

- As the carriage carrying Jactor passed through the teleportation portal, Evelyn cast a sidelong glance at her fiancé. “So, what is it you wanted to say?” She was genuinely curious about what could be so important that he insisted on a private, sealed carriage. She’d watched him recite an incantation to ensure no sound would leak outside. Axion’s lips curled into a smooth, almost languid smile. “Why else? Just so we could be alone together.” Ugh, that infuriating mouth. Of…

- ‘What on earth is wrong with him today?’ She wondered, shaking her head at her fiancé’s strange mood. Click— Just then, the carriage door opened and Jactor poked his head out the window. “…Sister Evelyn?” “Sister? You never cease to surprise me.” Axion muttered in a low voice beside her, and Evelyn responded by stomping hard on his foot. Then, painting on her most gentle smile, she turned to the boy. “Jactor, you must have been waiting for quite a while, haven’t…

- As soon as the little girl finished speaking, a heavy silence fell over the orphanage courtyard. It was as if the air itself had been filled to the brim with silence, and everyone clamped their mouths shut. ‘Perhaps this tension is just in my head.’ Evelyn thought, curling her fingers inwards. Before long, the more perceptive children clapped their hands over the girl’s mouth. “Shh! Grown-ups said children shouldn’t meddle in adult affairs.” “That’s right! Don’t put Sister in…
