Wait a minute. Speaking of… “Raphaerd, have you seen Helion? Lowell said he locked him up in the prison.” “If you mean the prison, it’s probably the one underground.” “Isn’t that where they keep those who’ve committed serious crimes? Helion hasn’t done anything wrong.” “His Majesty can make even the most innocent citizen a traitor if he so chooses. But this time is different. I investigated, and there are no charges against Helion. No accusations of insulting the…- 17.2 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 10 - Vacation I dashed to the door and flung it open before Lowell could intervene. Blinded by the sudden light after the dimness of the room, I was overwhelmingly relieved to see Raphaerd standing there. I started towards him, but Lowell, appearing as if from nowhere, blocked the doorway with an outstretched arm. He tilted his head, glancing at Raphaerd with disdain. “I didn’t give you permission to barge in here. I’m busy. Come back later.” “Let me correct you. I haven’t…

After dinner, we went out to the garden. The girl then untied her hair. I had a bad feeling and looked closer. It was Edward. It was a transformation spell, of course. I’d been tricked again, by the same tactic. “Found you, at last.” I was so speechless I didn’t know where to begin. “It’s late, so I’ll get straight to the point. Join my club.” It was club recruitment season. The academy had club activities twice a week, which meant every student had to join a club. Except…- 7.4 K • Ongoing
- A colossal blunder. That's how I'd summarize my first encounter with Edward. Across both my lives, past and present, nothing has ever been this mortifying. I don't even remember the entrance ceremony itself. The headmaster's tedious speech went in one ear and out the other. When the freshman representative was called and Edward walked onto the stage, I seriously contemplated the most comfortable way to die. *** The embarrassment was one thing, but Edward's relentless pursuit afterward was a real…

- The boy remained silent for the rest of the walk to the student council room. “Here we are. The student council room.” “Thank you, Lady Lumina Ashford.” Wait. I stopped mid-turn. “How do you know my name…?” Jade only used my nickname. The boy smiled silently and removed his hat. His appearance began to shift. He grew taller, from my chest height to someone I had to look up to. The freckles on his nose vanished, and his plain face transformed, revealing sharp, distinct…

- My heart shriveled. Desperate to avoid being caught in a lie, I overcompensated, launching into exaggerated, high-pitched praise of Edward. “What are you talking about? I adore His Highness! He’s too good for someone like me. Honestly… How can someone be so handsome? Those intense eyes are the best. They make me want to just… melt.” I feigned the lovesick schoolgirl act, fighting the cringe. This was the only way Jade would believe me. Oh, the lengths I had to go to. “Luna… you’re…

- “Wow….” I couldn’t help but gasp. Tall, elegant buildings lined the grounds. This was Oberstein Academy. As an academy founded by the Imperial Family, it exuded an aura of wealth. Located in Briston, the imperial capital, Oberstein Academy was filled with students from affluent families. As the most prestigious school in the empire, it also attracted students from distant regions. I was one of them. All the students here had passed the notoriously difficult entrance exam. Looking around, I saw…

I subtly probed him. He shook his head in denial, then stepped back from the door and bowed deeply. Forgive my intrusion at this late hour.” Unlike Leonhardt, who remained rooted in the garden like a statue, Monet was the first to leave. His steps were hurried, like a man fleeing something unbearable. Diana considered their contrasting reactions, suspicion blossoming in her mind. Perhaps the feelings they held for her were not mere attachment. Both Leonhardt and Monet were in the prime of…- 9.1 K • Ongoing
- “Understood.” Diana moved to the edge of the balcony, gripping the railing, ready to react instantly. Ruby extended his arm into the void. His eyes narrowed in concentration as he channeled his power, a white destructive energy spreading outwards in a rectangular shape. Beads of sweat trickled down his temples. The labyrinth was an incredibly complex, high-level spell. Even for a powerful mage like him, breaching it required pushing his concentration to its absolute limit. It was only possible…

- Fury at her betrayer surged through her, from the tips of her toes to the crown of her head. Her hands trembled, her shoulders shook, and her breath came in ragged gasps. “Just how far did you think I’d let this go?!” Her enraged voice echoed through the silent labyrinthine corridor. Leonhardt straightened, then bowed his head, not in deference, but to meet her gaze. Amber eyes flashed, holding her captive in their depths. “Your Majesty, I, too, have exercised restraint. You would be impressed…
