“An hour should be enough, right? Sir Gideon is waiting for me.” Of course, it was just an excuse, but she did feel a little guilty toward her escort knight. Axion let out a small laugh. It was a strange expression, somewhere between a scoff and a smile. “What’s that laugh for?” “You haven’t changed.” ‘Is he teasing me for being overprotected?’ Evelyn wanted to say something back but couldn’t come up with a retort, so she decided to change the subject. “Come to…- 723.2 K • Ongoing
- “You must be mistaken.” Evelyn replied, deliberately lowering her voice and changing her tone on purpose as she stepped back. However, a thin, mocking smile played on Axion's lips as he closed the distance between them. “Hm, in that case, I guess I’ll just have to go straight to the Marquis and Marchioness right now.” Annoying as it was, he knew his fiancée’s weaknesses all too well. In reality, she really didn’t want to worry her parents. ‘Time to retreat, for…

- Her laboratory, which held nearly three years’ worth of research notes filled the room, was a testament to her survival instinct and stubbornness. ‘I want to prove that all my effort hasn’t been meaningless.’ With a gaze full of resolve and conviction, she started organizing her collection of medicines. As she quickly scribbled down a list of herbs she’d need, her hand suddenly paused. “Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Axion around lately.” Her fiancé, whom she had hardly…

- Evelyn’s green eyes sparkled with hope, and the boy’s own curved gently as he smiled back. “Of course not.” Flustered, she furrowed her brows slightly and pressed. “Why? You don’t even like me, right?” “This is all a family matter. It has nothing to do with my personal feelings.” Contrary to his appearance, his mature reply made her pout a little. “If I don’t like someone, I can’t stand being around them. I guess you’re not like that.” Maybe it was just…

- She had only just met Axion Valentino a few days before for the first time. He was from the family being discussed for a potential marriage alliance with hers. The thought of him possibly becoming her fiancé was enough to make her want to scare him off and send him straight back to his own mansion. “What are you staring at? Can’t you lower your eyes?” “Why don’t you look down at the floor yourself?” But the boy fired back without missing a beat,…

- Evelyn let out an inward sigh as she felt the stares of the nobles all around her. How could she possibly refuse when Axion publicly asked her for the first dance? “Even if you regret this later, don’t blame me.” Instead of answering, he simply gave her that annoyingly charming smile. Soon, as a variation began to play on the dance floor, the two of them stepped into the dance together. Evelyn found herself repeatedly impressed by his skillful lead that covered up her own lack of dancing…

- She had spent so much time in front of the mirror, practicing how to keep her expression composed before the Emperor. She was no longer the powerless girl she had been after losing her birth parents. She was stronger now. Steeling herself, she stepped forward as her name was called, moving quickly to stand before the Emperor. “Eternal glory to the Baltian Empire. I greet His Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress, the prophets of Baltian and the bearers of holy glory.” “Ah, so you…

- ‘Looks like I won’t get to meet the two characters today either.’ In the original novel 《 Eternal Bonds of Salvation 》, the male lead had been appointed as the Paladin Commander even before reaching adulthood. Because of that, he was away in the North, leading the paladins in subjugating monsters. Meanwhile, the female lead, a country noble’s daughter, still wasn’t in the capital. This was because her divine power manifested much later than other abilities. However, she would soon…

- ︵‿୨ ₊‧꒰ა ཐི༏ཋྀ ໒꒱ ˚₊ ୧‿︵ “Eternal glory to the Baltian Empire. It’s an honor to meet you, Duke and Duchess Valentino.” Evelyn tried to keep her composure as she knelt and greeted them politely, but a small twitch betrayed her nerves. Even after being engaged to Axion for so long, facing his parents was always intimidating. She looked up at the couple, both radiating an unmistakable air of authority. Meeting an imprint partner was rare…

- Evelyn massaged her aching forehead at her fiancé’s ridiculous comment. “Forget it. There’s no point trying to talk to you.” Just then, a group approached looking for Axion, and she used that as her cue to step away. As she made her way toward a group of familiar faces, young ladies around her age greeted her with excitement. “It’s been a while, Lady Inevasel!” “It really has been a while, hasn’t it?” Evelyn returned their enthusiasm with a bright smile. They were her…
