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…- 38.6 K • Ongoing
- The man stood before me, looking triumphant. I saw his face in the lecture hall every day, but seeing him up on stage, he looked strangely unfamiliar. So Jade and Blake were right after all. He was a pestering gnat. Neilson Cage. He had a rugged appearance, but his affable nature made him popular in our class. Ah, but only as a friend, of course. He was the ‘he’ in, “He’s so funny, why doesn’t he have a girlfriend?” Naturally, I had no romantic feelings for him. I had…

Chapter 14 - The Test The person who asked for directions was elderly and had difficulty walking. So, I escorted them to their destination. Had their destination not been on the opposite side of the testing grounds, I wouldn't have been late. I hadn't overslept, nor did it take me long to get ready. I was simply being kind. Foolishly so. “Huff… Huff…!” I bent over, gasping for breath. The sprint to the testing grounds had completely drained me. My stamina would recover eventually, but…- 53.0 K • Ongoing
- 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…

- Chapter 29 - Coincidence Awen was nothing more than a supporting character who only appeared in a few lines of the novel. He existed less as the individual Awendolf and more as ‘Lowell’s half-brother.’ In that sense, Awen’s significance was probably on par with mine, as I was fated to be discarded by Lowell. According to the original story, neither Awen nor I should have become this entangled with Lowell. The reason I had stubbornly tried to set Lowell up with Helion, even when Lowell…

These accommodations were quite luxurious for the front lines, but at this moment, I desperately wished for a guest room. I couldn’t send him back now. It was clear someone was watching us, observing the dynamic between Lennard and me. I couldn’t even trust Mia. Who knew if the rumors had originated from her? Alright. I’ve made up my mind. I’ll see this through. Resolute, I entered the small bathroom attached to my bedroom. The fact that this house had two bathrooms for a single bedroom felt…- 50.3 K • Ongoing
- 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…

- “Didn’t I warn you?” At Lennart’s low voice, Karl withdrew his mana. “Ha, haha. Duke Verhagen. We meet again.” “You will answer my question first. Did you not hear my warning?” The biting chill in his voice was sharp enough to slice through flesh, and it shocked me to my senses. I quickly grabbed Lennart’s arm. “Please, just throw him out of here.” “Estelle.” “I don’t want to be in the same space as him for even a second.” At my words, Lennart opened…

“Of course not…” Luke chuckled dryly. Just as expected of someone brought in by the Lord, her way of thinking was anything but ordinary. “I came to check if you were still awake, but it seems the sleeping draught worked well.” “Well, yes.” “You slept without even changing your clothes?” “The, uh, the draught was a bit… strong. I’ll adjust the dosage tomorrow.” To maintain the tattered remnants of trust, Shariette decided to bury that minor lie.…- 46.9 K • Ongoing
- 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…
