Karentina recalled the original story content once again. ‘It’s true that Ignis did witness Stella’s death and set the castle on fire, but the casualties were only Imperial Consort’s spies and Karentina, and there were hardly any castle employees.’ Having also halted the monster’s subjugation and returned to the capital with Stella’s body, he faced the nobility’s condemnation and grew even more isolated. Not only was there a rumor that he killed all the people in the North but there…- 546.2 K • Ongoing
- Timothia’s lips curved upwards. A holy relic said to be imbued with powerful divine energy. When absorbed into the body of a child with magic power, the magic energy burst out like a rampage. This was due to the repulsive force created when opposing forces collide. The preparations mentioned by the old butler were directly related to this. Everything had to be resolved discreetly and quietly. Since it wasn’t possible to kill all the Duke’s estate employees, most of them were sent on…

- She recalled her first meeting with Imperial Consort Christina at the slave market. Christina Horton. The leader of the noble faction and the heir to the long-standing Duchy of Horton in the south, a prominent noblewoman—a noble lineage known as the next empress candidate. The meeting with the proud empress-to-be, whose arrogance was like a weapon, was unforgettable. The memory of being taken care of by her when she was a slave as she introduced her to the count’s family was vivid. Timothia…

- Even though she pulled the rope several times and waited for someone to come, the door still remained silent. Did the people of the Imperial Consort already take control of the castle? Recalling the passage from the original story, where she plotted things since the day Ignis set out for the subjugation, Yeoreum’s heart sank. She decided to step out of the room for a moment. Since no one was coming, she had to take matters into her own hands. With determination, she reached the enormous door…

- “It's, it's cold.” Even in the midst of summer, a bone-chilling coldness seemed to seep into her very core, causing her eyes to open on their own. ‘...Has the heater gone off?’ Shivering, she looked around for something to cover herself with while hastily wrapping a blanket around her body. ‘It's warm.’ As warmth spread through her body, the unfamiliar space started to come into focus slowly. Only a faint light seeped through the gaps in the curtains, leaving the room as dark as…

- Prologue As the dazzling sunlight poured down and the wind gently rustled, it was a day perfect for sipping tea. Karentina gulped down dry saliva as she felt the man’s gaze fixed on her with his chin resting on his hand as if he could devour her. “Your Highness the Crown Prince.” Ignis chuckled with a subtle expression, removing his hand from his chin. “Karentina.” His deep voice tickled her ear like a sweet melody. Contrary to the corners of his lips that curved up…

- Bluewin glared at me, as if to say, ‘What on earth are you talking about?’ I crouched down in front of the brothers and rested my chin in my hands. “Why don’t you become mine instead?” He scoffed. “And why would we do that? In the end, you’ll just use us up and throw us away, just like Cleas Orsen did.” “Bro, brother…” “Go ahead and turn us in to the Magic Tower or use us to blackmail Cleas Orsen, do whatever you want. We have no intention of following you. No matter…

- ‘I have no idea what’s going on, but it’s a win for me, isn’t it?’ Now I could control both Bluewin and Brown. This curse was a ‘pressure type.’ Right now, the two of them must feel as if they were being crushed under immense gravity. Bluewin, his face flushed crimson from the rush of blood, shouted out. “What’s…the meaning of this… what are you doing?!” “Yes, what are you doing? A mage from the Tower, sneaking into a drug den like this.” As I placed my hand on my…

- He flinched, eyes snapping back to mine. After a long silence, he finally forced himself to speak. “Have you… given up on me now…?” “Yes.” “How can you give up so easily?! You stayed by my side even after knowing about those bets, so why now…!” I replied with an indifferent expression. “Do you remember when we used to sneak into your father’s wine cellar?” “I remember. There was that oak barrel with father’s favorite wine. I broke the edge of…

- Leonard asked with a puzzled look. “How do you know this man, my lady?” “I saw him at the Magic Tower.” And not just in passing. The name of the man suspected to be Cleas’s informant— ‘Brown.’ That was the name of the chief researcher under the Master of the Magic Tower. A young mage with more promise in support magic than in ice magic. When I explained this, Leonard’s face tightened into a frown. “That means Lord Orsen has managed to hide quite a bit of…
