“He’s a friend of mine from the temple.” Stella’s expression hardened upon hearing Karentina’s sweet voice. “Friend… If he’s a friend, why are you doing this to his head?” “His head?” Karentina tilted her head in confusion at the question she couldn't understand. “...I’m going back now.” “Your Highness?” At the sight of the child dropping her head with a crestfallen expression and turning her back first, her heart sank. ‘Did I unintentionally hurt…- 546.2 K • Ongoing
- Joseph laughed as he threw back tiny snowballs at Stella, not even a fraction of the size of what Stella had thrown at him. Later, even Gemma joined in, and it became a battle between his husband and wife. “Hahaha!” Stella, grinning from ear to ear, had the most joyful expression she had ever seen on her face. ‘Yeah. Kids should grow up running around and playing like that. It's a bit disappointing that she doesn't have any friends her own age to play with.’ Karentina felt pleased at…

- “Shall we go outside?” "Really?" Stella smiled brightly with joy but soon became sullen. “But…” The child’s lips pouted as she glanced at Gemma, who was sitting on the sofa. Karentina stifled a laugh that threatened to burst out and whispered softly in Stella's ear. “I'll talk to Gemma.” No matter how much she adored Stella, it was natural to seek Gemma’s permission since she was the primary caretaker. “Karen is busy too.” The child lowered her head, fiddling…

- It was because Enormous, thick suction cups were stuck to the glass windows while massive unidentified tentacles engulfed the pirate ship. Kiiiik, thud. Kiiiik, thud. With loud explosion sounds, a haze of white dust erupted from the ship. ‘I have to escape.’ Oswell, who fled the captain's quarters, was horrified to see dozens of tentacles crawling across the ship's floor. A suffocating fear overwhelmed him to the point where even breathing became difficult. At that moment, the pirates,…

- Karentina reached for the magic stone attached to the prison gate in the blizzard and opened the door to where the butler was imprisoned. “Zion.” With a quick stride, he pushed Diane into the prison cell. “Aah!” “Rest comfortably until His Highness the Crown Prince arrives. Don’t even think about doing anything foolish.” While Diane’s face contorted in anguish as she clutched at her hair, Karentina smiled and left the prison with Joseph. “Thank you, Sir Butler.” She…

- “Diane.” She shivered at the shrill, dreary voice coming from behind her. “Miss Timothia.” “As expected. There’s no way the Crown Prince who left for the subjugation would suddenly return. That means that there wouldn’t be many knights in the castle.” Diane nodded, seeing Timothia’s lips curl up in a sneer. “It's all because of Karentina. Isn't it strange that all of a sudden, that crazy thing is sane?” “What's the use of talking about it now? Anyway, there’s no…

- As Diane threw down the laundry and shivered, the maids looked at her with preposterous expressions. Diane, who had always been displeased with their gaze, raised her eyes defiantly. “How dare you! The ones who couldn't even lift their heads to me in the past…” The maids’ faces began to visibly harden. “You have a lot of say when you are the sinner’s daughter.” Among them, one maid made a sarcastic comment, and the maids next to her snickered. In fact, the maids, who had…

- Furious like a raging bull, Diane then swiftly walked towards where the maids were. “Where is my father?” “T-That…” “Can't you answer quickly?” At the sight of Diane raising her hand towards the maid, unable to control her anger, Karentina muttered quietly to herself. ‘Zion.’ At that moment— “Uh? Huh? What's wrong with my hand?” Diane’s hand, suspended in mid-air, suddenly began to slap her own cheek. “Ahh! Why is my hand, why is my hand like…

- ‘My hair hasn’t returned to its original color yet.’ Fortunately, her hair soon returned to its original silver color since Zion seemed to have released the power of the wish. Stella looked up at her with sparkling eyes. “Wow! Is this also magic?” “Yes, it's a bit of special magic.” Unlike Karentina, who was trying to casually brush it off, Gemma asked with a worried expression. “It seems like you must have traveled a long way in disguise.” She was astonished as she…

- “What's with that milk pan anyway? Where did it suddenly come from?” “I was practicing making you delicious milk tea… and in my haste, I accidentally summoned it.” Placing Leah down on Ignis, Karentina tried to steady her dizzy mind. It shouldn't be a serious injury. “Leah, could you please treat him?” Leia poured divine power into Ignis's body. “Did Ignis see my face earlier?” Karentina breathed a sigh of relief. ‘I was so startled when my robe suddenly…
