The dance cultures of the Luversiana Empire and the Fleurose Kingdom were different. In the Empire, where marriage existed, it was one of the ways for alphas to choose their omega spouses, so it had the meaning of courtship. On the other hand, in the Kingdom, where there was no such thing as marriage, it was simply a form of entertainment enjoyed by alphas. This cultural difference was something that both countries were constantly amazed by. The Empire scoffed at the idea of alphas dancing body to body…- 49.4 K • Ongoing
- Of course, Enrique put in a lot of effort, as it was an important occasion to officially meet the Crown Prince of the Empire. His finely braided ash blonde hair was studded with small pearls that sparkled subtly. The pearls were embroidered to match the transparent jewels embroidered on his pure white cape. The gold lace wrapped around it evoked a sacred beauty. Perhaps if Enrique had been alone, he would have received quite a few compliments on his beauty. That is, if only Leybid wasn't right in…

A brown lump wriggled between her feet. Startled, Ellie sprang up. “Eek!” Realizing the cause, Ellie shrieked and hopped in place. The sudden scream drew everyone's attention in the dining hall. “What? What is it?” Squeak—a brown rat circled Ellie's feet. Daniel's face paled. His heels lifted involuntarily. Agitated, Ellie snatched a dry towel from the dining table. “Th-this, this rat!” She swung the towel wildly in the air. The rat darted under the table, dodging the…- 29.7 K • Ongoing
He had forced Damon into the bathroom, even as the boy, his face pale from the drenching rain, had gripped his hand and insisted they leave at once. Shortly after, however, a servant emerged from the bathroom, his own face ashen. ‘You should see the young master’s condition, Your Grace…’ Fearing he’d fallen from his horse, the duke rushed in, only to be met with the sight of Damon’s body—a canvas meticulously chronicling years of abuse. There were countless scars, visible only upon…- 26.6 K • Ongoing
- 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…

- Whether he had dressed himself in his feverish state, the buttons of his shirt were done up all wrong, and the ribbon of his trousers had come undone, revealing a pair of gaunt hip bones. As Sienna quickly pulled his pants up and tied the ribbon, Damon hugged her tightly again. Thump, thump. Sienna could hear the beating of his heart against her ear. “It’s dangerous outside, so don’t go anywhere. Just stay with me.” He’s so cute… There was no winning against his pitiful appeal, his…

“…Yes,” Sophia finally admitted, unable to bear the pressure. She had hidden here to avoid the Duke, to keep this secret, but she couldn't withstand the weight of his gaze. It felt like a slow tightening around her throat, freezing her to the spot. “What kind of dream? A dream where you and I kissed?” The Duke’s voice was devoid of emotion, as if simply confirming a fact. Sophia blushed crimson and nodded. “Is that all?” Of course, it wasn’t. In the dream, the Duke had magically…- 41.7 K • Ongoing
- “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…

- Just as Ronald had come back after rummaging through a bird’s corpse, Sophia, too, knew that this smell originated from some form of decay. For some time now, the stench had become unbearable whenever she went near a kitchen or a place of death. This ranch, for instance, was one of the places that had made her pinch her nose shut whenever she passed it in a carriage. The smell gets worse when it’s related to dead animals. She had known that much for a while. But it was only natural, when she…

Edward let out a soft, breathy laugh. The heavy atmosphere from earlier had completely disappeared. He looked down at our clasped hands, then brought my hand to his lips and kissed the back of it. The touch was soft. The gesture was so fluid and natural that it didn't feel out of place. A moment later, after processing the situation, I recoiled in shock, pulling my hand away. “I-I didn't say you could kiss it!” “I know.” “Then why…!” “Because I wanted to.” Edward grinned, his…- 38.6 K • Ongoing
