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…- 49.5 K • Ongoing
- 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…- 46.5 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.…- 43.9 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…

- But her body felt as heavy as lead, lethargic, and even her lips refused to move as she wished. Noxian’s hand covered her forehead and eyes. Unlike his cool voice, his hand was warm. “Don’t worry. Just sleep.” His voice, like a sigh, settled over her. ‘My apologies. Lady Shariette is not Sasha.’ ‘Are you certain?’ ‘Yes. I have worked in the Argen castle since birth, and I have never seen her before in my life.’ Noxian’s jaw tightened for a moment. He slowly closed his…

Ariel, having a suspicion, nodded slowly. It might be related to coming to the past. I never experienced this before. Could I have come to the past using my own power? After a moment of contemplation, Ariel quietly asked, “What happened to those mages? The ones who suffered from magical depletion?” “Well, the occurrence itself is extremely rare. Most mages use magic within their own capacity or utilize magic stones. However, mages who use magic beyond their limits in emergency situations…”…- 21.5 K • Ongoing
- 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…
