The maid was a chatterbox. She prattled on about what he liked, his daily habits, his preferences, and his dislikes. By the time she had finished brushing Livi’s hair, she could already predict where Dominic might be at that very moment. “Um, madam, would you like some scented oil for your hair?” “No, that’s alright.” “Then perhaps some perfume? It’s imported from Robita in the South, and it has a subtle floral scent!” “That won’t be necessary.” Livi watched as the…- 246.2 K • Ongoing
Should she fling the door open right now? Should she storm in, seize her young fiancé by the shoulders, and demand what on earth he thought he was doing? Esha felt as though she were fifteen again, stepping into her first debutante ball, like she had wandered somewhere she did not belong. An outsider watching a grand play unfold, unable to take part in it. ‘What is she saying?’ Daphne seemed to be murmuring something. The distance from where they stood at the balcony’s edge to the…- 115.9 K • Ongoing
- She felt like nothing more than entertainment. No matter how much she fought, screamed, or lashed out. To him, it was all just an amusing little show. Livi let out a slow, deliberate breath. The fire burning inside her chest didn’t fade. It only grew stronger, as if someone had poured fuel over it. With a cold, detached expression, she limped toward him, raised her arm, and slapped him. Smack! The sharp crack of flesh meeting flesh echoed through the room. She didn’t hesitate. She struck him…

Rather than letting her hold onto a weak, useless power, he would benefit from cultivating it and harvesting the fragment when the time came. For Edith, this deal had no real downside. Whatever happened to her heart once she was dead didn’t matter. Having a dragon as an ally was a far greater advantage. A contract where both sides got exactly what they wanted. "Deal." "I like how decisive you are." Agni slapped his knee and sprang to his feet, standing directly in front of…- 165.3 K • Ongoing
- “It’s a flower born from the Blue Dragon’s tears. He cried for days, and from that pool his tears left behind, the flower bloomed.” “Why was he crying?” “He was betrayed by a human he considered a friend.” “…” “You humans probably think it’s some kind of miracle cure or a flower that grants immortality. That’s what’s been passed down through generations, right?” Edith’s face fell. He was right. Everyone believed it was a miracle cure. Even Lucion. "But…

- “That bastard? Her teacher? Do you even hear yourself right now?!” Naturally, Lucion was livid, practically declaring war against Khalid. "What are you getting so worked up for? It’s not like he’s going to be your teacher.” “The bastard put his hands on Edith, that’s why!” “She said it was a misunderstanding. They talked it out. Why are you still harping on it?” Khalid sighed and turned to Edith. “It’s up to you, Edith. If you’re not comfortable, we can cancel…

- Who in their right mind would trust someone who barged in and casually demanded their heart? Still keeping her distance, Edith cautiously asked, “Master Agni, I hope you don’t mind me asking, but what exactly do you mean by ‘fragment’?” “It’s one of my scales. An object imbued with a dragon’s power. You humans call such things ‘divine artifacts.’” "A divine artifact?” Edith’s eyes widened as the unexpected revelation sank in. She repeated the words, almost as if she…

- Edith giggled, “No, I mean you’re like a cold pillow.” "Who are you calling a pillow? Let go. Get off me!” “Nope. You’re mine.” Everything seemed perfect. Lucion’s health was visibly improving, and their bond grew closer with each passing day. Everything was going well. ‘So it’s going to be okay.’ Edith smiled, her cheeks burning as she tried to squash the unease bubbling inside her. ✦ ✦ ✦ “Ah!” As dawn broke, Edith jolted…

- "You’re going to retrieve it though, aren’t you?" "Of course." If it weren’t for that insolent young lord, he would’ve taken it right then and there. As Agni recalled the encounter, Lucion’s snide comment about him being a pervert echoed in his mind. His vertically-slit pupils narrowed in irritation, and he clicked his tongue, staring at his reflection in the window. “Ah, this embarrassment is causing my eyes to have a mind of their own.” Pressing his fingers against his…

- “And stop speaking so formally. Everyone already thinks I bully you.” Take Simon, for example. After Lucion had carried her back when she was injured, Simon’s first question had been whether he’d hurt her. “Alrighty~! I’ll stop!” “It’s late. We should get moving.” With that, Lucion turned and strode off. As he walked ahead, his ears noticeably reddened. Edith felt her own cheeks grow warm. A shy smile crept across her face. “Wait for me, Lucion!” In the…
