affection chapter 26: Startled, Damon once again inspected Sienna’s body in detail. Though there were quite a few people around, his eyes saw only Sienna, scanning her from head to toe. Her black maid’s uniform concealed much of it, but upon closer inspection, her clothes were covered in dirt. Damon’s face suddenly crumpled into a frown. “I was about to fall, but Lord Rohael saved me. I’m perfectly fine.” Sienna reassured him several times, but he was still anxious, circling her again and again to check her condition. Only when he was certain that she was truly unharmed did he bite his lip and glare at Rohael. He seemed to be furious that he hadn't been there for Sienna when she was in danger. Rohael simply looked down at him with a leisurely air. From an…

fiance chapter 56: “I don’t know,” Sophia answered bluntly. She was shocked and confused, but at the same time, it felt as if she were simply confronting a fact she had already known. “How did you know which of them were going to die?” Her curt reply didn't faze Ronald in the slightest. He just tagged along after her, pestering her with questions. At first, Sophia ignored him, but she eventually grew tired of it and answered. “By the smell.” “I knew it! I knew it!” Ronald exclaimed, jumping up and down with excessive joy. He grew even more excited as he started to speak. “So that’s why you said my room smelled because of the bird I found! Anita said so. She said the bird was injured somewhere and flew to that tree. It hadn't been dead for…

friend chapter 48: My wrist was still in his grip, but I didn’t retract the killing intent in my eyes. “I said shut your mouth and stop spouting nonsense.” “Hey, know your place. You think I’m doing this because I like you? It’s just that Jade was out of my league, so even you…!” “Say her name one more time. I’ll rip that ugly mouth of yours apart. No one would take you even if you were free. And I’m sure other girls feel the same. Neilson Cage, do you know what people say about you? That you’re funny, but only your face is funny, which isn’t quite enough to date…” “How dare you!” It happened in an instant. Neilson raised his fist. Now I’ll get hit. I’ll have to hit him back twice. I thought, bracing myself for the…

emperor chapter 58: After the appetizers, when the main course was served, Awen dismissed all the attendants from the banquet hall. Did he say he’d already silenced all the knights who were present when their bodies were swapped? There had been a brief moment of time before we left the temple for the imperial palace. I couldn’t believe he had already made his move while I was taking Helion to a safe place. His proficiency was incredible for someone who had swapped bodies. I suppose it was a reminder that although he was playing the part of a wandering adventurer now, he was originally a prince. “Lowe… ah, no. Awen. I’m sorry. It’s surprisingly hard to get used to.” “If it’s that hard, why not try calling me darling♡?” Clang. The fork…

divorce chapter 58: Upon returning to the duchy, Lennart immediately drafted a letter of protest to the Magic Tower. It was filled with vile accusations, enough to shred the recipient’s pride and grind it into the dust. Satisfied with the contents, Lennart sent one copy to the Magic Tower and another to the Church, which had invited Karl. He and Karl had only ever exchanged passing greetings on the battlefield. He didn’t understand why the man would be interested in his soulmate, whom he had never even met. He tapped his fingers on the desk, lost in thought. It’s unpleasant. Strangely, whenever something involved Estelle, his emotions became volatile. The thought that his marriage to her might one day end only intensified his anxiety. Estelle had left…

obsession chapter 64: For some reason, she felt a wave of nausea, like motion sickness. Brenda powder is good for this. Shariette’s eyes lit up. From the basket filled with a colorful assortment of flowers, she deftly picked out an orange one. “This is a Brenda flower. The leaves and stem are good for the stomach, so they’re dried and made into a powder. The root, on the other hand, is poisonous and can cause paralysis of the central nervous system if ingested.” “Central nervous… pardon?” Luke and Joseph, who had been watching with fond amusement as the pharmacist clutched the modest gift to her chest as if deeply moved, both flinched. Paralysis of what? The walking, talking encyclopedia opened its mouth and spoke fluently. “Plua. It’s often used…

woke up chapter 26: Hmm, I think that counts as a peck. Then, if she pecked the current Etheldred, would she go back to the past? Ariel stroked her chin, deep in deduction, then grinned. Right, there’s only one way to find out. Okay! I’ll just get this peck over with! I’ll pounce on Ethel like snatching prey and succeed! Ariel glanced at the head-tilting Etheldred and frowned. Pouncing seems a bit… forceful, though. After some more deep thought, Ariel began to plan. So, how does one initiate a peck? Hey, we’re bored, should we have a peck? Ugh, who has a peck because they’re bored? That’s too trashy. Ethel, have you ever had a peck? Aren’t you curious how it feels? Hehehehe. Wow… I sounded like a total pervert just now. Ethel, give…

traitor chapter 40: A young boy was curled up inside it. Diana stepped off the stone floor and onto the iron grating. Below, she could see a writhing mass of pigs. The blood on their snouts was grotesque, as if they had been eating their own kind. When someone appeared above them, they squealed even louder, as if vomiting up their hunger. It seemed they had been drugged to induce a state of frenzy. Frowning, she peered into the cage that sat on top of the grating. Startled by the presence of another person, the boy trembled and wrapped his arms around his shoulders. His blond hair was matted with blood, his skin soiled with a dark reddish-brown liquid. He was dressed in a rag-like cloth, and his neck and ankles were bound in rusty iron shackles. Diana slowly…

villainess chapter 82: Regardless, this was the first time she had gone out with such a small escort. The shadows were, in the end, just shadows; on every other outing, at least three or four knights had accompanied her. “Hah. I feel like I can finally breathe.” Arthur, in the driver’s seat, heard every word of her faint soliloquy. He let out a soft, breathy sound and fell into thought. ‘Finally breathe,’ she says… So naive, not knowing she's kept inside the estate because it's the safest place for her. He had thought she was showing uncharacteristically mature behavior lately, but at times like this, it was clear she was just a sheltered young noble lady who knew nothing of the world. The way Vivian showed different sides of herself from moment to moment…

target chapter 10: Wow, this is amazing…! Yes, this is it! This is what I wanted to experience! Her teal eyes darted around, taking in the scene with curiosity. “My lady, this is the box seat purchased under the name of the Sert Viscounty.” The seat the staff member politely indicated was a luxurious box, the same as the other nobles’. Of course, the royalty and high-ranking nobles like grand dukes and dukes probably had even more magnificent boxes, but… Who cares! This is amazing! Lynne beamed and sat down. Even the expensive chairs have incredible cushioning…? Wow, K-romance fantasy really has it all. Lynne picked up the opera glasses that were neatly arranged on the table and examined them from every angle. She was so captivated by the…

leash chapter 50: "Of course. Commander would just let it go. However, the people around him are making a fuss. The attendants in charge of his attire are currently putting all their effort into dressing him up. They say he needs to overpower everyone with his outfit." "Ah..." Arlenrose burst out laughing as she could imagine the scene. While Carmine was popular, he was also very indifferent to his own appearance, so the people around him would often take extreme care of him. The vice-captain, Baker Dane, who was standing right next to him, was the same. Officially, he respected him as his commander, but privately, he worried about him and tried to take care of him like a nephew. Most of the people who sided with Carmine saw Arlenrose as an obstacle, but the…

cure chapter 16: Why did the female lead’s father have to have such a wretched personality? He was ambitious in the book, but I didn’t remember him being this bad… “At this rate, isn’t he the tyrant, not Enoch?” Muttering to myself, I rotated my ankle and prepared to leave. I had a feeling that another encounter with the Duke would not end well. But it seemed life was never that easy—or perhaps my luck was just particularly bad. Of all the paths he could have taken, the Duke chose the one I was on. He was stomping along furiously when he spotted me. “Hah! You’ve been sneaking around eavesdropping this whole time. You’re no better than a rat!” “I wasn’t eavesdropping, I fell down first and then you came…” Seeing the Duke up…

game chapter 18: “Raphelt, calm down. I’m not telling you to get out of the way. I’m telling you to take this opportunity to rest quietly.” It was Kal and Raphelt. Their agitated voices went back and forth, and the sound of their bickering continued to spill out into the hall. I stood there, unable to move forward or retreat, frozen like a statue, when suddenly, Raphelt kicked the door open and stormed out, and we came face-to-face. “…” An indescribably awkward silence passed between us. Having fled from him yesterday after that whole scene, this unexpected encounter was beyond embarrassing. Raphelt, for his part, hadn’t tried to stop me when I ran. His stare was so intense I felt a nervous heat rise in me. It was especially potent because of…

tyrant chapter 42: It was certainly a situation that could be misunderstood. He must think she had jumped into the river to kill herself. All she had wanted was to create some time for Karta and Duke Delcart to be together. She had never intended to commit suicide. She had so much she wanted to say, but looking at Karta’s hurt face, she couldn’t make any excuses. In the end, Fiogen could only remain silent. “…Karta.” He didn’t respond to his name. The soaked Karta must have been cold, too, but he wasn’t trembling in the slightest. He just walked on, his eyes blazing like fire as he stared straight ahead. He must be so angry his whole body was burning up. Fiogen avoided his gaze. She felt like a criminal and couldn't offer any defense. “I’m sorry,…

beast chapter 36: Gazing at the bead, Ariette felt her breath catch in her throat. A dull ache spread through her chest. Pain, happiness, despair, hope, regret. It felt as if no word in existence could fully express her current emotion. Just then, a large hand gently enclosed the bead and took it from her. Only then did Ariette realize she had been holding her breath. “This is…” His expression grew strange as he looked down at the bead. He seemed to be on the verge of saying something, but his lips soon closed. The silence was broken only after a warm breeze had swept past their cheeks several times. “Seeing as the reward is a broken piece, it seems we must find all the fragments of this bead to escape the maze.” Beelzebub murmured, carefully…

maid chapter 46: Ellie descended to the basement, her arms full of curtains and her heart heavy. The moment she stepped into the hallway, she was hit by a wave of heat and humidity. It was her first time alone in the laundry room. She hesitantly entered. “Excuse me…” Laundry maids bustled around the room. The nearest one, completely ignoring Ellie, continued stirring a vat. Hot water bubbled in several large tubs. Thick steam obscured her vision, and the harsh smell of detergent stung her nostrils. Ellie timidly held out the pile of curtains. “Where should I put these…?” “Just dump them over there.” A maid who looked even younger than Ellie curtly replied. It might have simply been her personality, but Ellie, already feeling like a punching…

wildflower chapter 24: Lilian almost blurted out, “No, he hasn’t even had his first kiss,” but she bit back the words. “Uh, I suppose he might be?” “Lili, be honest with me. You know him better than I do, his own mother.” Lilian felt like a teacher conducting a parent-teacher conference about Cairn. First the Duke, now the Duchess. “No, I don’t think he’s seeing anyone.” “Oh, he takes after his father… I had a feeling he’d have trouble finding a partner.” Lilian had recently discovered that Cairn was notoriously unapproachable in social circles. She had seen him dance with several young ladies at balls and assumed his romantic life was flourishing, but apparently, that wasn't the case. If she was the wallflower of the Clat Empire, he was…
