“It’s just that… I beg your pardon for saying this, but there’s been little progress.” “....” So, it really is that hard to find her. Ignis let out a long, weary sigh. “Even the most highly trained knights struggle to track down a Transcendent. We've investigated thoroughly, both through the knights Sir Butler dispatched and through my own information guild, but we’ve found no trail. It seems they’re using some kind of unusual magic.” “I see.” Ceria spoke at…- 546.2 K • Ongoing
- Karentina, too, found it difficult to contain the swell of emotion as she looked at him. Was it because her body still remembered? In that moment, when she thought she might collapse at any second and her hand moved to clutch the hem of her dress— Drip. —A tear slid down her cheek. “Huh?” She couldn’t understand why she was crying. She had always thought of herself as just a character in a story. Even if she’d been reincarnated into this body, she believed she could greet her first…

- “You know, Leah, about His Majesty the Emperor’s illness… I heard from His Highness not long ago that no one can tell whether it’s some sort of disease or a poison.” Leah, who had been pricking up her ears, settled down comfortably on her thigh. Karentina gently stroked her head with affection. ‘An illness that not even Pope Leonius could cure…’ After some hesitation, Karentina finally spoke. “I heard that Her Majesty the Empress also fell ill and passed away because of an…

- Suddenly, Ignis pressed a hand to his forehead. ‘To think the young lady is beautiful… What am I thinking?’ Once again, his face grew hot, and he rubbed it with his hands to cool himself down. To have such thoughts while looking at a woman, surely there must be something wrong with him. ‘I should probably have a physician from the Order look me over.’ Had he been cursed somehow, ever since he saw that dark-haired woman in the forest? He let out another long sigh. Karentina…

- “Couldn’t I sleep here with Brother and Karen tonight?” “Pardon?” “What?” The two of them stared at each other in disbelief. Feeling awkward all of a sudden, they quickly turned away. “Joseph said… the subjugation knights will be returning to the castle soon, right? Which means we’ll be going back to the palace. I won’t have a chance to sleep with Karen anymore. And you’ll only get busier, Brother…” Stella drooped her shoulders, looking…

- Of all the preparations she made for Stella, the biggest was this ceremony of setting magic stones afloat on the river. ‘They said this event hadn’t been held for a while because of Uncle Maurice.’ Her eyes grew cold at the memory. Still, things were different now. Everyone was smiling as they sent the magic stones drifting down the river, wishing for happiness. Watching the joyful villagers, Karentina believed that goodness could overcome anything. She handed Stella a little basket made of…

- “Pardon?” “My mother died from Nelpiram poisoning.” Nelpiram poisoning… Karentina swallowed dryly. This was something that hadn’t appeared in the original story. Ignis, wearing a frighteningly cold expression, turned his gaze toward the river. ‘Leah.’ ‘Do you know anything about Nelpiram poisoning?’ She caught her breath. Karentina’s face went stiff. In the original story, his mother was said to have died from premature labor, but it turned out to…

- “So that’s how it is.” The crown prince raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. “Even less remarkable than I expected.” With that, he turned away from her without hesitation. “....” Anais finally let out a thin, relieved breath. On the other hand, Peder quickly lost interest in the conversation. She was just a little irritating, but, as expected, nothing special. Watching all this, Diego arched an eyebrow sharply. “There are quite a few eyes on us, Your…

- “Everyone in the viscount’s house knows that I am the kingdom’s illegitimate child. But the only one who knows that I know the truth is Rex Orelcian.” The Grand Duke listened with solemn attention as Anais spoke. She took a deep breath and went on. “If Rex ever tries to use that secret to demand something of you or to threaten you, ignore him.” His brow furrowed sharply, but she didn’t stop speaking. “If the imperial family should learn of my secret and it brings harm to the…

- It wasn’t the warmth of the Grand Duke’s hand that left her so unsteady. It was only when she faced him that the cold within her heart began to melt. Still, she couldn’t find the reason why. “....” In the end, Anais chose not to dig deeper into her feelings but to cover them over. After all, this was a marriage bound by a term, and if not, then before long she would die by the hand of this man who showed her nothing but tenderness. It was a strange and unfamiliar emotion, never before…
