Valencia grabbed me, warning me that I would get hurt if I intervened. The two of them broke into a fight, and no one could stop them. Rastain didn’t just receive Emil's blows. He retaliated mercilessly, and they rolled together on the floor. Emil looked emotionless as he laid his assault on Rastain. As if he were giving him what he deserved. Emil was right to be angry. But… ‘I killed the marquis and marchioness.’ Watching the violent scene, memories of that night came flooding…- 246.2 K • Ongoing
- Had the empress not miscarried and given birth to a son from our generation, I might have been nominated as a candidate for the next empress.

However, the empress lost her first child, and suspicions arose about her ability to bear more children due to her fragile health. But after several years, she managed to give birth to a princess. The…

- If it were an ordinary banquet, Emil and I would have enjoyed a leisurely time within the mansion. Unfortunately, today's event was far from an ordinary celebration. The occasion marked the birth of Princess Elsie, a long-awaited addition to the imperial family. Attendance was mandatory for all nobility within the capital, except for those facing unavoidable circumstances. This invitation encompassed children of the same generation as the princess. It seemed the emperor, rather than relying on rumors…

- "From my perspective, considering the young lord’s deep golden eyes, Heliodor would suit him the best." Certainly, the color—not too bright yellow but with a subtle golden hue like the sun—complemented Emil well. However, Emil shortly declined. “…I don't like gold." I had a feeling it was because of his eye color. The jeweler removed the gold gems from view and opened another box. "This blue topaz and sapphire are also very fashionable. If you want an elegant design, diamonds are a…

- In his expression, a mix of gloominess and unmistakable joy coexisted as Emil stared at me. "Because I want to be your friend…” "Really?" I quickly adjusted my stiffening expression. "It doesn’t matter why you're being nice to me. Because thanks to you, I feel like I can be a little happy." My heart skipped a beat. At the same time, memories of that day, the corridor and the blood, along with the ominous blade that stabbed me flashed into my mind. Unlike that day, the Emil before me…

- “I like you. You’re handsome, and you’re good at studying.” “…” “And my mommy said it. You are not Princess Roveline.” This was all I could say now. I stared into the wavering eyes of the hesitant boy. “You haven’t hurt anyone, right?” His eyes grew larger as if realizing some great truth, and they slowly reddened. Just like he did in the past, Emil suppressed his emotions, but they’d been building up for a long time. “Yeah. I… haven’t hurt…

- Children easily succumb to the allure of sweet things, as seen in tales like “Hansel and Gretel" or the story of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” "I'll ask the head chef to make this every day." I suggested, and Emil turned to me with round, rabbit-like eyes. “…” The maid, who was listening to us, also seemed taken aback. "We have a large garden and a pretty white horse at our house. It eats very well if you give it carrots." "What are you sa—” “After I study…

- The head chef rolled up his sleeves, promising to make it perfect. And so, after two days, the time had finally arrived to go to the duke’s mansion. When I boarded the carriage, it was just past noon. “Although I’m not one now, being a Korean does make a difference.” I proudly examined the several picnic boxes. Being a true Korean, you should feed those around you well, especially a growing child. * * * The mansion of Duke Calixt was truly magnificent. While neither our house nor…

- The inside of the carriage remained eerily quiet, the rhythmic rattling of the wheels almost providing a soothing backdrop. In that silence, Emil sat motionless, his eyes fixated beyond the closed window. “Seems quite useful.” The duke was the first to break the stillness. He took off his glasses and polished the lenses with a soft velvet cloth. “Keep her close. It may come in handy one day.” “Handy…” “You dislike the idea?” “…” The boy dared not meet the…
