'She heard it, his remark about whether he’s my friend or not.' Anyway, I’m good at being two-faced. Playing the role of a gracious host seeing off a guest, I eased a hint of regret into my tone. "I heard that Marquis Raymon has been busy lately." Hildred did not fail to counter with a beaming smile. "I have more literature to analyze. I wanted to hang around more, but it seems I have to go." Then, he got down on one knee, took my hand, and kissed it. "Happy birthday." Hildred…- 246.2 K • Ongoing
- As night fell, I felt a great deal of fatigue wash over me. ‘Why am I so tired when I supposedly got younger?’ Perhaps it wasn't my physical stamina but my mental energy that had depleted. After spending a considerable amount of time integrating Emil into the group, I realized that the sky had darkened. While there was still a hint of awkwardness between Emil and the other children, he was no longer sitting alone by the window. The children weren't immediately engaging in conversations with…

- "Shall we go and have some cake together?" Even as I offered my hand, it looked like Emil couldn't even grab it. It was more like he was staring at an unfamiliar object for the first time, as if wondering, “What is this?” He finally asked, "Together?" “You don’t want to?” "No, it’s not that, but…” In the end, I took his hand first. "Come on, then." As I led the way, his hand followed mine willingly, as if it knew the path well. * * * The head chef left after…

- Currently, the emperor has neither a princess or prince yet. The empress wouldn't have a princess until two years later, in the year I turned twelve. Naturally, with no direct heir to the most prestigious imperial family at present, the highest-ranking child of my age was undoubtedly Emil Calixt. The only son of the House of Duke Calixt. Born from Princess Roveline, a child carrying the imperial bloodline. But, despite his lineage, people favored Rastain of House Lucretius or Hildred, son of…

- "I had a bad dream, but I'm okay now. In the dream… You and Daddy left me and died in an accident… I was so shocked and anxious… but when I saw your face, I realized it was just a dream, and I feel better now." If my mom had also gone back in time, she would’ve likely picked up on the nuances in my words. But her response was different. "My daughter, would you like a hug?" Flinching, I was about to refuse, but then I approached her and hugged her tightly. "Don't you worry, Mommy and…

- I knew it was cliché to say, but I thought I was dreaming. Could the massacre of my family by nineteen-year-old Emil be nothing more than a dream created by the early morning hours? But I quickly shook my head. As much as I wanted to believe it, the sensation of the cold blade piercing through my stomach felt too vivid. That sensation couldn't have been false. ‘What happened?’ I stepped onto the floor with my trembling legs. My nanny, Isana, who noticed my tremoring, approached me and…

- Isméralda. Jenuartt. Lancaster… There was no way I wouldn’t recognize those names. After all, the book had always sat on top of the shelf in my tiny one-room apartment. I shouted in disbelief, doubting my reality, and then—"Waaah!"—a baby's cry erupted. If it had just been their names, I might’ve not believed it, but through my hazy vision, I saw two blurry figures. If I could’ve seen their faces clearly, I would’ve seen a woman smiling, her face exhausted from childbirth, and a man…

- Arc 1. Son of the Villainess “Why…!” Blood trickled down the blade that pierced my stomach, dripping onto the ground. It hurts. The pain is so excruciating I can’t even scream. But there was a question tormenting my mind, and it bothered me more than the burning agony in my stomach. The question spilled from my lips. "How could you…?” I knew the man who had thrust the blade into my stomach. I knew him better than anyone. Emil Ronchisté Calixt. My dear friend. My only…

“The affairs of a Knight Order are generally classified.” “Meaning…?” “The servants believe I saved my wife from execution. They have no idea I was the one who led the charge against your family.” Dominic chuckled as he reached for her. He grabbed Livi’s wrist and yanked her forward, dragging her from the doorway and shoving her down onto the bed. She didn’t even have a chance to resist. “Ugh… What on earth are you doing?!” “Take it.” He pulled a dagger from…- 246.2 K • Ongoing
- Slowly, Livi lowered the hand that had flown to cover her mouth and glanced around. Thankfully, the maid and knights nearby didn’t seem to have noticed her close call. But Dominic, standing so close he could practically read her mind, had caught it instantly. “It looks like you’ve adapted quickly in just a single day. Color me impressed.” “Let go of me.” “Hm.” Dominic’s gaze wandered slowly over her upper body, his eyes glinting with intrigue. “With a reaction like…
