*** “Hee hee, I knew Brun would waste one dose.” Shariette gleefully polished the gold coins, having just sold another bottle of the same potion she'd sold a few days ago for two Luca, this time at full price, even pretending to offer a discount. And she’d even managed to upsell the drunkard a tonic and stomach medicine! Sparkly things were the best. The sight of them always thrilled her. Business was booming today. “Miss Raven, my mom sent me.” The little girl from the inn down the…- 46.9 K • Ongoing
- The air in the apothecary hung thick and heavy, saturated with the scent of dried herbs, potent tinctures, and mystical reagents. The quiet peace shattered as the door flew open with a resounding crash. Startled, Shariette set down her mortar and pestle, snatching a spray bottle from a nearby shelf. A label, scrawled with childish handwriting, dangled precariously from its side: Pest Repellent. “Hey, Raven! This isn’t what I was told! Are you playing me?!” A burly man stomped in, his heavy steps…

He had always been this way, ever since they were children. He was relatively kind to Flora, his full-blooded sister, but not to their mother or her. Vivian had always been uncomfortable around Max. That was why she hadn't been able to refuse outright when he pressured her into marrying Arthur. She had fled his study, overwhelmed by the coldness he exuded. The memory of that day made her breath catch in her throat. That was the past, a nightmare. It won’t happen again. She blinked slowly, calming…- 72.7 K • Ongoing
After several attempts, they finally found the right combination of cleaning agents. But the stain had already spread. All the maids were now on their hands and knees, scrubbing furiously. Ellie couldn’t decide whether to help or remain inconspicuous. One of the maids glanced at Ellie, then whispered to the maid beside her. They both giggled. Ellie, bewildered, shifted her eyes from one to the other. The whispers continued, spreading like wildfire from maid to maid, finally reaching Diana. Diana…- 29.7 K • Ongoing
“The two of you are still as close as siblings.” Lady Ashton, watching the two walk away, was the first to speak, as always. “You’ve grown up together since childhood, haven’t you? Your father, Count de Vermore, and the Prince—ah, I should say, the Grand Duke of Headington now—were exceptionally close.” “When Lord Headington approached just now, I thought the famously handsome prince had grown young again. Cairn Etienne Headington is the spitting image of his father.” “He's…- 17.5 K • Ongoing
- The warm sunlight illuminated Eisen's golden hair. Her navy blue court dress, with its classic beauty, suited her perfectly. This style of dress would surely become fashionable simply because Eisen wore it. “Miss Frederick Eisen will be the beautiful flower of society.” “She’s already the Empire’s crimson rose.” Lilian lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers. She knew comparing herself to others was a bad habit, but she couldn't help feeling inadequate next to Eisen, who…

- On a day bathed in the warm spring sun, with a gentle breeze whispering through the air, Lilian de Vermore's story was about to turn a new page. Ladies, with elegant gestures, lifted their teacups, engaging in polite conversation. It was then that the gossipy Lady Ashton opened the door to a rather scandalous topic. “Have you read Clarice's new novel?” Lilian de Vermore, picking at a walnut tart beneath a large parasol, blushed. “Of course! It certainly didn't disappoint.” A…

- As Cairn raised himself up, she saw the two pendulous sacs attached to his impressive member. They reminded Lilian of ripe, soft peaches. Peaches that tasted best when bruised and overripe. The thought made her mouth water. While Lilian was momentarily distracted, Cairn spread her thighs wide and positioned himself between them. He guided his tip to what he assumed was her entrance. He pushed forward slightly. “Ah! Cairn! I don’t think that’s it!” Lilian cried out, realizing something was…

- “Um… Cairn. Will you grant my wish this time too?” Outside the window, double cherry blossoms were in full bloom, marking the late spring of Baltan. “Yes, Lilian. Anything.” Quiet, fine raindrops diligently brought down the blossoms. With each delicate, overlapping petal that fell away, Lilian’s hidden inner self slowly revealed itself. “Then, first, hold me.” At Lilian's confident request, Cairn sat on the edge of the bed and awkwardly pulled her into his…

- “Jenny. Do you know what today’s date is?” “It’s the 7th of March, 656 Imperial Year.” The very year Flora, four years her senior, would make her debut into society. Two months from now, if she recalled correctly. Mother had been, if not kind, at least tolerant until her elder sister's debut. Except for one… glaring incident. Flora, as befitting a future crown princess, had captivated everyone from the very moment she stepped into the ballroom. That, it seemed, had triggered something…
