Flora’s spirits lifted at the compliment directed towards Vivian. “Oh, thank you for your kind words. Anyone would find Vivian adorable. You have a dependable younger brother, don't you, Your Highness?” Her emerald eyes, bright as summer foliage, curved into a gentle smile. Watching her, Caroline thought, A classic beauty with a refreshing aura, a warm and affectionate older sister. A sweet and lovely younger sister, almost as if she’d smell of confection, yet unexpectedly composed. What good deeds…- 72.7 K • Ongoing
- A figure emerged from the shadows in a far corner of the room. The blond boy from the study stood silently, now dressed in servant’s attire. He held a few parchments in his right hand. Though the light was dim, Evan recognized Vivian’s handwriting. Arthur simply stared at the floor. When no response came, Evan spoke again. “Why don’t you answer me?” An aura of authority emanated from him, unusual for someone his age. The air in the room grew heavy with his presence. This was a stark…

- Rosy cheeks, vibrant eyes, and a cute mouth smudged with sandwich crumbs, chewing delicately. Even the soft glow of the back of her hand captivated him. She didn't appear ill, but he couldn't be sure. Misinterpreting his concern, Vivian waved her hand dismissively. “Oh, no, I’m not ill. I’m just naturally curious about everything. Isn't that right, Jenny?” “Oh, yes! My lady has been feeling a bit under the weather lately, so we were looking into plants that might restore her energy,” Jenny…

“No.” Daniel’s denial was sharp. No matter how much safer it was to let the misunderstanding continue, he absolutely, positively did not want to admit the truth aloud. Ellie tugged at the ribbon of his waist, pleading, “Come on, just tell me. I promise I won’t tell anyone.” “No.” At Daniel’s stonewalling, Ellie pouted. So mean. He should trust her by now. Well, she was getting used to his prickly side. Recovering quickly, Ellie changed the subject. “But isn’t Daniel more handsome…- 29.7 K • Ongoing
At Karta’s words, Fiogen rose with a bright smile. “Well, then, it’s settled. Kill me and take these eyes.” “Don’t be absurd.” Even Karta, known as the tyrannical emperor, found it difficult to best Fiogen. He frowned, her words clearly repulsive to him. “You said you wanted them because they resemble his eyes. You don’t need my life, you need these eyes.” Fiogen, in that gentle voice, was tempting him to kill her. Just as Duke Delcart had said, she seemed utterly mad. Perhaps…- 39.4 K • Ongoing
“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…- 32.0 K • Ongoing
- “We will discuss what you revealed under the truth serum later.” And when that time came, she would also uncover the secrets of the magic formula that allowed him to resist the serum and endure such pain. Ruby, still lying on his side, drew a shallow breath, his chin dipping slightly. It was difficult to tell if he’d nodded, but the subtle movement hinted at his complex emotions. “The labyrinth's primary magic source is a blend of the Commander and the Chancellor's power. Even if they're…

- Ruby crashed through the floor of the torture chamber, his descent a destructive spectacle. The forced breach sent tremors through the labyrinth, as if the very structure screamed in protest. A sensation like sand scouring her skin made Diana involuntarily hold her breath. Her feet landed on an unfamiliar surface. The fall had been short, the impact minimal. Despite this, Ruby, gravely wounded, swayed as if about to collapse. Diana reached out to steady him, but his weight pulled her down with him.…

“Thanks to you, Your Grace, I’m getting a tour of this place. It’s not a manor easily shown off, even to most nobles.” This manor, where the Duke was currently staying, was called Lillum, one of the imperial family’s properties. It was the very manor where the current Emperor’s grandmother had resided when she gave birth to the Emperor’s second aunt, Lanure Nesbitt, Queen of the Nesbitt Kingdom. Manors where imperial children were born were always managed with particular care. They were…- 41.7 K • Ongoing
- Inside her lime-green gloves embroidered with gold thread, Sophia's fingers fidgeted. The parallels between Orese and herself, and Hetan and the Duke, made her deeply uncomfortable. Perhaps sensing her discomfort, the Duke spoke. “Don’t you like Hetan? The story of how a witch gained her powers… I thought young women would find it irresistible.” She did like it. But now, because of the dream, she found it unbearable. Feigning composure, Sophia lifted her chin. “I always think the play…
