As the sudden dismissal order came from him, Gideon asked with a dumbfounded look. “…Pardon?” “Since when do you get to decide that?!” Astonished, Evelyn furrowed her brows and glared at her fiancé. Meanwhile, Axion offered an uncharacteristic smile and spoke. “You’ll be better off staying with me.” He meant that in the face of unforeseen dangers, it would be safer for her to accompany him.

- With so many concerns weighing on her recently, Evelyn suddenly recalled something she had let slip from her mind. In truth, the information she wanted most was something else entirely. “Marcen, is there still no word of His Highness the Second Prince?” Perhaps it was because he had concealed his whereabouts for so long, but to learn anything of Riovan was like finding a needle in a haystack. The guildmaster’s expression stiffened for an instant before he replied in a thoughtful…

- “That imperial royalty’s place of exile was called Rowendel.” “....!” Evelyn’s lashes trembled as though she couldn’t trust her own ears. Did he really say Rowendel…? She drew a sharp breath to steady herself, then asked in a careful tone. “Isn’t Rowendel only a small village?” “That’s right. A place so insular that one might well call it sealed away from the world.” What transpired within Rowendel, Marcen added, seldom reached the ears of the outside…

- Khalid’s expression hardened for a moment, but he soon resumed his usual gentle smile. Then, as if suppressing his emotions, he slowly spoke after clenching his fist tightly. “I’ll keep that in mind.” His blue eyes, sinking as though into an abyss, seemed to grow ever more clouded. ︵‿୨ ₊‧꒰ა ཐི༏ཋྀ ໒꒱ ˚₊ ୧‿︵ To keep intruders at bay, the dukedom’s most secret chamber lay buried deep within the estate.

- Startled by her fiancé’s sudden remark, Evelyn frowned faintly and poked him in the side with her finger. “That wasn’t funny at all.” Axion, who was unbothered by her scolding, wore a languid smile as he countered. “Well, does it seem like a joke to you?” “....” There he goes again, leaving her with nothing to say. Narrowing her eyes at him, Evelyn gave a firm shake of her head and quickened her pace. Seemingly amused, the man let out a quiet chuckle and followed at her…

- She exhaled a heavy sigh. Even though more investigation was needed, she couldn’t shake the feeling that this was no ordinary affair. The uncertainty of what lay ahead deepened the shadow of concern across her face. Moreover, she couldn’t shake the thought that had circled endlessly in her mind. ‘What if, like me…’ There might be another possessor who knows the original story. Evelyn, who had been reborn into this world, had already altered its course, and with that, portions of the…

- The House of Rikeran was originally its own principality. Before its unification with the Baltian Empire, it had ruled the northern lands beneath the authority of a ducal king.

Moreover, true to its long and storied history, the family was said to have preserved its ducal citadel nearly intact. Within its archives, open only to members of the household, countless relics and books were stored, so much…

- ‘Has the overall timeline sped up?’ She believed that if she could sever the connection between the imperial court and Jactor, the plot might veer from its original course. However, the empire had already reached out to the black sorcerers sooner than expected. Worse still, there was now contact with shamans, something that never happened in the original story. “What am I missing?” She couldn’t shake the feeling that the more she intervened in the original story, the more the larger…

- She wasn’t unaware that her request bordered on madness. To speak of finding the long-lost second prince while the heir apparent stood unchallenged was little short of treason. Long ago, on a day of torrential rain, the second prince had gone hunting, only to fall from a cliff and be swept away by a raging current. At least, that was the story known to the public. But Evelyn knew from the original story that the power that had failed to manifest in the crown prince had instead awakened in the second…
