Chapter 14 Basil’s face went deathly pale. “Kid!” “Huh?” Haniel’s head spun. As she staggered, Basil hurriedly caught her and lifted her into his arms. “What’s wrong with you? What the hell…?” “No, I-I’m fin… cough!” “Damn it. Camilla!” “Yes, yes! We need to get down quickly!” Basil flew down the mountain as if his feet weren’t touching the ground.

Chapter 14 Just as the ordeal that felt like it would last for an eternity began for Adelia, Loerston was leisurely washing himself in the bath. Lying back in the steaming tub, he tilted his head backward. Drops of water fell from his wet hair and face. “Rudolph, how do you manage to stay here dressed like that?” Rudolph was standing by the entrance. Even when attending to Loerston during his bath, he always kept the buttons of his shirt fastened all the way up to his neck. “You…-

Chapter 13 After quietly listening to Loerston speak at length, Yang Jaesa smiled gently and said, “Now that I think about it, Your Grace, you really have fallen head over heels for your wife.” For a moment, the corners of Loerston’s mouth stiffened. Rolling his beautiful turquoise eyes, he asked, “…Does it really look that way?” “To me, it looks like nothing else.” “Haha. It’s not quite that serious…” But Yang Jaesa merely smiled in silence, looking almost…

We sat facing each other, with only one court lady from Daejojeon remaining by the wall. Queen Sinjeong Jo spoke first. “Lord Kim Jageun supposedly sent land to Heungseon-gun Yi Ha-eung.

Chapter 13 Spring, 1861 — A Catholic Believer’s House in Hanseong Father Dubois arrived in Hanyang at night. The house belonged to a Catholic believer in Hanyang, a place his servant Gaksim had arranged in advance. It consisted of only a single room. As Father Dubois entered, he set down his belongings and looked at his servant, Gaksim. “Good work.” Gaksim opened his eyes wide for a moment before bowing his head. “Get some rest. We leave at dawn tomorrow.” Gaksim closed…

Chapter 14 Arden de Bifulten was not someone who normally needed to rely on quick thinking. Perhaps it had been necessary when dealing with unexpected situations on the battlefield, but ever since inheriting the power of the head of the family, he had more often relied on that power than on improvisation. But this was not a situation that could be solved with his power. ‘Why is he acting like that?’ Thanks to his sharp-eared master, Milo merely mouthed the words without making a sound as…-

Chapter 13 “ Your Highness, it’s Aegis.” Someone else was standing behind Aegis as he entered the room. One of Arden’s eyebrows rose. “Is there something else to report?” he asked, indicating the information they had received from the upper ranks of Acid. Milo, who had already heard the entire explanation on the way here, spoke in a trembling voice. “Have you, by any chance, ever gone to the priestess’s room?” Arden leaned back in his…

Chapter 012 “I’ll hear you out.” “Leave Joseon. Leave Joseon right now. I will create a route for you.” Father Dubois’s eyes changed. He slowly opened his mouth. “I will not leave Joseon.” His voice was firm. “I must remain with the people of this land. I did not come to Joseon to run away. I came intending to bury my bones in this land.” I looked at the priest. It was the answer I had expected. “Father, do you know how the people of Joseon are living right…

Chapter 11 Spring 1861, Tavern Near Maponaru, Hanseong Gak-sim had changed my appearance. I was dressed like an ordinary child from a middle-class household, wearing cotton clothes instead of silk and a simple tanggeon instead of a manggeon. Mak-soe followed behind me. The tavern was chaotic. Porters and boatmen were drinking, while a group of bobusang occupied one corner, eating with their bundles of goods set beside them. I sat down nearby and gave Mak-soe a signal. Mak-soe ordered liquor…

Chapter 10 Winter 1860, Foothills of Inwangsan, Hanseong It was around sunset when Kang-soe, the servant of the residence, entered the hunters’ village at the foot of Inwangsan. Mak-soe, the household servant, was carrying a jug of liquor. Three or four hunters were sitting beneath the eaves of a low stone wall. When they saw Kang-soe, their eyes filled with suspicion. “What do you want?” Kang-soe stopped and said, “I heard there was someone who buys tiger skins. I’m from a cloth…
