Of course Dianne remembered the Baldin Territory incident. That event had led to a series of skirmishes between the Arathos border defense forces and Count Baldin’s private troops. The casualties had been severe, and for the first time since the peace treaty, public sentiment toward Arathos had grown noticeably cold. The emperor turned his gaze to the window, the last light of day filtering through the glass and casting deepening shadows across his face. “I sent a mediator to prevent the other…- 226.6 K • Ongoing
- Once she arrived at the emperor’s rose garden, Dianne fully understood what the countess had meant. She was clearly not the only one hoping to “accidentally” run into the emperor during one of his strolls. After presenting her credentials to the guards and being allowed entry, she found herself repeatedly locking eyes with others wandering aimlessly through the garden with barely concealed hope written on their faces. Some of them were distinguished noblemen, others were young ladies dressed with…

- Sir Reussen handed her a glass before turning to Miss Adelasia and bowing politely. “Good evening, Miss Vellua.” “Hello, Sir Reussen. Are you Miss Dianne’s escort tonight?” “So it would seem.” “No wonder all the gentlemen keep glaring daggers at you.” The light tease brought an easy laugh from Sir Reussen. Dianne, on the other hand, wanted to grab him by the collar and shake an explanation out of him. Countess Ornin had clearly stated that the Emperor and the Duke of…

- Dianne Ortenza was beautiful, and she wasn't so oblivious that she failed to realize it. She had graduated from Cyrene Girls’ Academy, which was right next to an all boys’ school. After classes ended, boys would hang over the fence, tossing flowers, candies, and letters. Being the center of attention wherever she went, and receiving unsolicited kindness from men, it was all familiar to her. But this? This was entirely new. “What province are you from? I don’t believe we’ve met in the…

Her frail hands opened and closed uselessly in the air. Each time he circled her sensitive clit, stars burst behind her eyes. She didn’t know how long it lasted, until a sudden gush of wetness burst from her pussy. Heat shot up from the base of her spine, making her shudder. Synox held her steady as he slid his fingers out from the drenched folds between her legs. Her pussy lips clenched around his fingers, then parted with a wet squelch. Drip. A tiny droplet splattered onto her thigh, and…- 124.4 K • Ongoing
- Synox came to a sudden halt as he tried to guide Rosaline to the sofa. Even in the dimly lit lounge, where only a few lamps were left burning in the absence of others, his piercing blue gaze felt like it could cut through the dark. Rosaline turned her head away from it, desperately avoiding his eyes. She mumbled, almost defensively, “It’s not as if we have to look at each other to do this.” What she really meant was, I don’t want him to know I’ve been crying. “If we don’t face…

Without thinking, I shoved the man aside and sprinted to the window. I never thought I’d be so happy to see another living being. I nearly cried tears of joy. I flung the window open and squinted at the figures approaching in the distance. They were all wearing black masks, huddled together under the purple-tinged sky, whispering amidst the swirling ash. “Looks like nothing’s happened here yet.” “Let’s grab whatever’s valuable and go!” There was no way I should’ve been able…- 44.6 K • Ongoing
- So if a man like him realized he was alone in this mansion with me, and that I was the only other person alive… Cold sweat trickled down my spine. I glanced around the room, searching for anything that could serve as a weapon. Why did I have to go and smack his head with a spoon and then lecture him about his manners? Was I out of my mind? “Why aren’t you answering?” “…” “Ah, because I wasn’t being polite? Then let me ask again, properly this…

- Would this be explained in the diary too? Confused but determined, I once again cupped my hands around my eyes and peered out the window. “Found you!” One of the dead thieves twitched, his back shifting slightly. And beneath him, there I saw a tiny gray kitten, trapped and desperately mewling. “You’ve got to be kidding me… I have to go all the way out there?” I tapped my foot anxiously. I didn’t even have the courage to step outside yet. I know the diary said that no…

- Founding Day. From early morning, the Oakhall was a flurry of movement. The maids hurried down the halls with arms full of fabric and cosmetics, steam rising from the baths, voices lowered but urgent. There were three ladies staying in the palace now, and preparing a noblewoman for a grand ball was always an ordeal. But when those women were a princess and a grand duchess, and the event was the Founding Day Ball—the pinnacle of the Empire’s social season—even the simplest preparations became…
