̊ · : * ✧ * : · ̊ Under the soft light of the early dawn moon, Ignis stood with droplets of water trickling down his hair, but he paid it no mind as he glanced down at the glass ornament neatly placed in the box. ‘Why did I even…’ A quiet sigh escaped him as an indescribable emotion shimmered in his red eyes. He didn’t understand himself. “Ha.” It was the first time. The realization that his body had acted before his mind had left his…- 546.2 K • Ongoing
- “Leah, what’s wrong?” Karentina gave a slight yawn and shook her head. “Hmm.” She slipped on her soft slippers and opened the door that Leah had been watching. The early morning air was dry and chilly, filling her lungs as she stepped into the quiet hallway. “No one’s here?” At Leah’s words, she looked down and saw a small box sitting in front of her. “Who left this here? Is it for me?” Karentina picked up the box and closed the door before sitting…

- While Stella wouldn’t carelessly share Leah’s abilities, Karentina thought it was best to be cautious. She squeezed the little girl’s hand tightly. “Stella, I have a favor to ask you.” "Huh?" “Can you keep it a secret that Leah has special abilities?” “Why would you want to hide such an incredible ability?” Stella’s eyes widened as she tilted her head in confusion. “I’m different from His Highness the Crown Prince and Stella. Since I didn’t manifest as a…

- When Karentina finally managed to open her eyes, she saw a blue and silver canopy hanging from the ceiling. At some point, she had been moved to a bed. “Lady Karentina, are you feeling a bit better now?” Hearing Gemma's worried voice, Karentina responded with a raspy croak. “I-I’m fine.” "Oh dear, your voice is completely hoarse.” Gemma looked at her with a concerned expression. “What happened? I was definitely in Cocoel Forest…” “Lady Karentina, don’t you…

- Once the child closed her eyes, Karentina carried Leah near the dying mother bear. Thankfully, the mother bear had no intention of attacking and lay there quietly, almost as if she understood they were trying to save her. Once everything was prepared, Leah’s divine power began to flow. It was always an incredible sight. Gradually, the mother bear’s wounds started to heal. ‘Thank you so much, Leah.’ She held Leah, who was soaked from the snow, gently in her arms. Karentina found herself…

- ‘What…?’ Karentina couldn’t believe her ears when she heard Leah’s voice, and she instinctively took a step back. Feeling the blood run cold in her veins, she rushed back to the tent. But when she got there, both Leah and Stella were gone. The food on the table was a mess, and small footprints on the carpet made her heart sink. Without hesitation, she searched for Leah’s presence and ran toward the forest. Even though she could hear Zion frantically calling her name, her mind was…

- She couldn’t help but worry if it might have been an earthquake. As the glacier from the massive ice wall crumbled, an enormous chunk of ice crashed into the river. Thankfully, the glacier was far enough from the shore that there was no immediate danger to the people on land. But then— Huge waves began surging, crashing against the small fishing boats and threatening to capsize them. "Dangerous!” Even before her voice reached them, Ignis and the knights rushed toward the…

- ‘...Why is that? Is it because of Zion?’ Karentina quickly averted her gaze, anxious about any further misunderstandings. "My lady, it's getting cold. Please head inside the tent.” At Sasha’s gentle voice, Karentina glanced down at Stella. "Your Highness, should we go inside the tent to warm up?" Stella shook her head so vigorously it almost seemed as if a buzzing sound could be heard. Following the child's gaze, Karentina noticed a herd of reindeer and elk in the…

- Oh no, not just any animal, but bears… That would be troublesome. ‘What should I do? I wanted to show her around Applewood Street, but it’s still under reconstruction. I was hoping to surprise her during the upcoming New Year’s celebration.’ While she was deep in thought, Zion chimed in with a cheerful tone. Following Zion’s gaze, she spotted Joseph, who did indeed resemble a big red bear1, and she had to bite her lip to keep from laughing. Karentina made up her mind, watching…

- A carriage without a family’s crest was heading out of the Duke’s castle toward the Cocoel Forest. The occasional winter breeze was cold, but the weather was clear and warm, making it a good day for a picnic. “This is exciting.” Stella, who was playing with her twin braids of black hair, smiled brightly. For her safety, Ignis had used a magical tool to change both her hair and eye color to black. “Do you like it that much?” “Ung! It’s too bad that Gemma couldn’t come because…
