“Yes.” Diana answered curtly and moved her legs. Ruby took her hand and led her forward. Splash, splash, the water sloshed around them. The water level was gradually receding. They picked up speed, climbed the stairs, and finally emerged from the water. “It’s a labyrinth spell. I can’t tell how many layers they’ve used. I have no idea when these lunatics started plotting this!” “Calm down, and tell me where we’re going.” “The second-floor balcony. They’ll have…- 9.1 K • Ongoing
- The one born with the most potent magic becomes Emperor, a member of the Imperial family. The one born with the most potent divine power becomes Pope, born outside the Imperial bloodline, to check the Emperor's power. However, a being who shattered this very principle was born into the Imperial family. The Empire gave this being a new title: God’s Annihilator—the Emperor Who Annihilates God. The Crown Prince, ascending the throne on the day the Pope died, bore this title as he took his place…

- But that also meant he didn't want that favor to be shared, especially not with a foreign prince. “Rest assured. I bestow my divine power on only a select few, including yourself. The prince will receive no such blessing.” Unlike a few days prior, she soothed and reassured her confidant, who was repeating the same concerns. Despite this undeniably generous treatment, Leonhardt remained silent, showing no outward reaction. Diana sighed softly. Leonhardt’s behavior was strange. But as emperor, she…

- *** “Are you truly going to take a consort?” It was late, after a long meeting. Diana had skipped dinner and walked out into the gardens. In the darkness of the unlit lawn stood a tall man. The Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army, Leonhardt Fluto. A cool breeze rustled their clothes. Even in the dim light, she could see his bright blond hair swaying. His eyes, darker than his hair, flickered like lamp flames.“It seems you’re not concerned about the candidates…

The Duke inquired, and Sophia, startled, closed her mouth. His face softened, returning to its usual gentle concern. Though she wanted to pull away, his demeanor confused her, and she allowed his touch. He brushed a stray lock of hair from her face, then cupped her chin, tilting it up to meet his gaze. His uniquely blue eyes quietly scanned her features. “Have you lost your memory? Do you remember… anything? Yourself?” Sophia bit her lip before answering. “Of course. I just don't remember…- 12.5 K • Ongoing
- People constantly compared Solid and Anita, criticizing the Woodridge family’s shortsightedness. “Will anyone even glance her way when she’s beside a Medesia? I think the Woodridges have effectively relegated themselves to the shadows.” Miss Anita Woodridge wasn’t considered a beauty by any standard, always clad in dark, high-necked dresses. She resembled a governess more than a debutante. “Is this the Woodridge family's choice, or Miss Woodridge’s own stubbornness?” people…

- Solid got engaged a few days after Georgia Centania’s ball, and after a brief, three-month engagement, they married two months ago. “Solid’s pushing herself, coming all this way when she’s with child.” That’s what the Countess had said a few days ago, upon seeing Sophia sitting on the parlor sofa, reading Solid’s letter. One couldn’t imagine how startled Sophia had been. She’d even jumped up, dropping the letter she’d been reading. “Good heavens, what?” With child? Did that…

"I anticipated you would be concerned, Master Cairn, so I placed her in the room closest to yours." Jeffrey finished his report alone in the empty room. Having witnessed various human relationships throughout his long life, even Jeffrey found the connection between these two rather peculiar. Or perhaps, special. *** Cairn dismissed Matilda with a glance and brought a stool to sit beside the bed. "Jeffrey said he found you collapsed in front of the bookstore." Lilian felt a pang of embarrassment…- 17.5 K • Ongoing
Chapter 4 - Bottom Male Lead “Damn it all! How dare they try to swindle me? I’ll make them pay several times the market price!” Startled, I pulled away from Lowell just as the slave trader's enraged voice reached us. Lowell was the one holding my wrist, yet the trader glared at me. “This is the one you intend to purchase?” “This one…” It wasn’t the most appropriate way to refer to my destined partner, but arguing would only be a hassle, so I simply nodded. Confirming Helion…- 17.2 K • Ongoing
- I was genuinely surprised when Lowell's name appeared in a book I happened to open. I knew that those in high social positions, like the emperor, sometimes used myths, biographies, and other writings to cultivate a positive public image. But to write about him again in a book, even though he had only recently ascended the throne… Of course, it was utterly useless to me. The moment I saw Lowell’s name in the book, chills ran down my spine, and I slammed it shut. I didn't know the details,…
