“Don’t worry. I’ll be sure to call you Miss Shariette from now on!” the girl replied energetically, full of motivation. Shariette hesitated, then added one more thing. “…I’m glad you’re safe, too.” Mia’s existence felt like proof that she could save someone, that her hands could bring forth life. Nixia, the Duchess. Even Noxian himself. In that other place, there had been only death. Here, she kept encountering life. It was a contradiction, especially since it was the Argens who…- 46.9 K • Ongoing
- Shariette awkwardly patted the girl’s trembling shoulders. Mia confessed through her sobs. “You’re a liar. You said you’d be back soon, but you didn’t come for days. I went back to Argen Castle. But then the Rubelots invaded, and I couldn’t get to you…” Shariette’s eyes widened. She grabbed both of Mia’s shoulders and asked, “You went back there?! How did you get out alive? Everyone in that castle that day was…” Noxian Rubelot wasn’t called the Demon of Lubenshire for…

“It’s a modest reward for saving a royal’s life. I’ll be sure to compensate you further later.” “This is plenty!” The pouch was heavy enough to feel substantial even in Sienna’s hands, well-accustomed to handling household finances. Though she hadn’t intended flattery, the Duke’s lips curved upward in amusement. “Then I’ll have to see if your hands reach out just as readily then.” Sienna’s face flushed. She felt like a slave to materialism. The Duke was more mischievous…- 26.6 K • Ongoing
- On the way back, a sense of accomplishment filled Sienna’s chest every time she looked at her full basket of herbs. There was borage, but even more Centella. Just at the end, she had found a large patch of Centella and had made another basket to fill with it as well. Sienna was so eager to gather it because the plant was practically a panacea. It could treat fevers, act as a detoxifier, and soothe chills, coughs, and sore throats. It was a diuretic, and it was even good for acne! The taste wasn't bad…

- “What do you mean?” “This plant. It’s an herb called Centella that I’ve been searching for.” Looking at the unconcealably excited Sienna with an amused expression, Rohael crouched down to meet her gaze. “It looks just like a weed, but it’s an herb.” “Yes. It’s small and unassuming, so it can be mistaken for a weed, but it’s a very good herb. Oh, there’s some over here, too. I should gather it all.” Sienna’s cheeks, flushed from the sun and her excitement, glowed…

No matter how young and alluring his appearance, the fact remained that he had lived for centuries. Yet, the blinding beauty of his form was also an undeniable truth. Could any woman possibly feel repulsed by him? Perhaps, instead, the urge to trace the lines of his face and body might be irresistible. Ariette lowered her gaze, concealing these audacious thoughts. “…I don’t know. I suppose I’ll only know if I try.” “Shall we try now?” “N-Now? Try what…?” She snapped her head…- 26.2 K • Ongoing
- 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…

- Beelzebub nodded and gave her a brief account of the last two days. He said that not long after she fainted, the scenery had changed, and clothes had fallen from the sky. He finished by explaining that he had washed her body in a nearby lake and dressed her in them, his tender gaze searching her face for a reaction. “My lady, are you alright?” Just the thought of his hands carefully washing her naked body sent a blush creeping up her cheeks. Ariette nodded, lowering her gaze. As she did,…

“He couldn’t concentrate on his magic lessons. He was too busy watching my every move, so I had to take drastic measures.” “And that was reading him a story?” Edward nodded, his midnight-blue hair swaying pleasantly in the breeze. “I thought it best to start by getting closer to the children.” “It worked.” “Better than expected.” I giggled, remembering Edward from earlier. The children were completely captivated by the story he was telling them. Their earlier fear…- 38.6 K • Ongoing
- A handsome guy who doesn’t know he’s handsome. Isn't this the perfect setup? Both Edward and Blake knew they were good-looking and were arrogant to a fault. Perhaps Spencer was the one who could truly make Jade happy. “Jade, go take a walk in the garden with Spencer.” “No! I want to stay with you!” This was my plan to use Spencer as a bad-ending-flag remover. There was a chance Spencer could be a bad guy, too, but if that were the case, I could just get rid of him then. He was…
