With such a weak reply, Sienna, finding his state utterly adorable, pulled Damon into a tight hug. “I knew it! My kind Young Master would never do such a thing. I never misunderstood you for a moment, so please don't worry.” Cough, cough. Was it just her imagination, or had Damon’s coughing grown more violent? “Young Master, are you alright? You’ll make yourself sick at this rate.” “Ugh. I’m fine… But they gave him the wrong room. He should be moved to another…- 26.6 K • Ongoing
I activated it on all the leaves within a five-meter radius of where I was standing. The boxes were green, so they were hard to spot if they were buried in the leaves. Using magic was much more efficient here. “I need to find it quickly.” I excelled at detailed magic control, but I had relatively low magic reserves. Using such a wide-ranging spell multiple times would easily deplete my magic. Unfortunately, there didn’t seem to be any boxes nearby. I released the spell and moved further…- 38.6 K • Ongoing
- Studying is most effective when you start two days before the exam. “How about we study together in the library tomorrow?” “Oh. That sounds completely awful.” Hearing this, a horrified Jade whispered in my ear, “What are you doing? He’s asking you on a date! Are you just going to throw away a golden opportunity like this?” “I’m only studying with you,” I whispered back. Jade smiled, seeming a little pleased, but her expression quickly hardened. “I appreciate it, but no.…

- “You can’t learn about love from books. It’s a recipe for disaster.” “Whether it’s a disaster or not… shall we give it a try?” Seeing Edward’s sly grin made my middle finger itch. Whoa, whoa, calm down, my Excalibur. “First off, I had Neilson kicked out of the banquet hall. After making a scene like that and being forced to leave early, his etiquette grade is sure to be an F.” “Is an F the only problem? Cloud said he was going to have him…

Chapter 15 - Healing “Don’t be too upset. Everyone makes mistakes.” “Thanks, Parfait. But that doesn’t help.” Apparently, I was the first person ever to fail the apprentice exam because of the written test, though there were cases of people passing the written test and failing the practical. No matter how much Parfait tried to comfort me, that fact remained unchanged. “There’s a retake, a retake! As Minette now knows, the exam format is quite intense, so some apprentices lose…- 53.0 K • Ongoing
- “I wanna go home. I don’t want to be here.” You’d think the words had come from a preschooler, or a whining, spoiled child. Unfortunately for me, the speaker was neither. It was Awendolf. We were in a reception room within the Imperial Palace, a place that didn't welcome uninvited guests. Awen, who had arrived before us, made his declaration to Lowell and me, his face a mask of utter discontent. For the record, they were still in the wrong bodies. “You don’t have a home,” I pointed…

- Chapter 31 - The Act “Everything His Majesty said is true.” It wasn't that I doubted him, of course. I was merely asking Helion for confirmation of Lowell's story. Helion blinked, his expression as guileless as ever. He didn't seem to be feigning. The Helion I knew from the novel would never lie. He was exactly as I'd read. Such a waste of a handsome man, with his silver hair and red eyes. To think that Helion, who should have been a main character, was being treated like a…

“Then let’s sleep together.” She scurried onto the bed and slipped under the covers, beckoning Lennard with a gesture. He slowly walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. “What makes you think I wouldn’t try something?” he asked, a strange question. “Because I know you would never do that.” The Lennard Verhagen she knew was an honorable and upright man. He had been consistent in the original novel, and in the short time she had known him, he had been the same. Estelle lifted the…- 50.3 K • Ongoing
- “And now for the kiss to seal your vows.” Ah. Right. That. Lennard glanced at Estelle. A kiss was not among the forms of physical affection she had agreed to provide in their contract. But Estelle showed no reaction, simply turning to face him directly. “Are you sure you’re alright with this?” he whispered, his voice low enough for only her to hear. It wasn’t in the contract, so he had to ask. Her actions, however, came faster than any answer. She tugged on his lapel, pulling his…

- Lennard stopped short the moment he opened the door and stepped inside. It was the first time he had seen Estelle in a wedding dress. The finest silk from the Eastern continent, with its subtle sheen, made her look all the more elegant. The bodice, tailored to fit her perfectly, was unadorned save for the small pearls tracing the neckline, a simple touch that prevented any monotony. Her sleeves and skirt were voluminous, in keeping with the latest fashion. Her long hair, which cascaded down to her waist,…
