Chapter 3 Ieum finished her pre-meal tea and quietly set the cup down. Representative Park, a year older than her father, Changshin, was sitting across from her with a greasy smile. “Hello, Ieum. It’s nice to see you again.” The glossy suit, shimmering under the lights, reminded her of a silver hairtail that had been caught and kept for far too long. The way his eyes subtly looked her up and down was just like those of a rotten fish. She had never believed that she would only have to eat…-

Chapter 1 It was one day, deep into autumn, when Yeon Chang-shin came to see Ji-hoon. “Marry my daughter.” At the principal’s office of Hyesung High School. Ji-hoon, who had been savoring the tea he had brewed himself, calmly set down his teacup and spoke. “I don’t think I’m the person you should be saying that to.” “Of course you are. I’m looking for a bride for you, so naturally I’m asking you.” Yeon Chang-shin was Ji-hoon’s former teacher and mentor, as well as…

<Chapter 25> “Theodore, please!” Millenian raised her voice while nervously watching the King’s expression. It was the first time anyone had ever seen her look this flustered in front of others. The King and Queen were approaching them, visibly furious. Millenian quickly shot Theodore an imploring look. For the first time, Theodore was faced with such desperation from her, and she hesitated for a moment. But when she thought of all the contempt and humiliation Millenian had…-

<Chapter 24> "It suits you very well, Princess." The macramé necklace made from a magic stone sparkled brilliantly around Theodore's neck. "You have such a long neck and beautiful lines, so necklaces really suit you." "...It's not like I'm pretty." "What?" Marsha tilted her head at the meaningless remark. ‘There’s no need for you to be exceptionally beautiful too, is there?’ Theodore remembered Raud's teasing voice from her memories and let out a small laugh. "Let's…

<Chapter 23> "I was too harsh earlier." After a long standoff, the words that finally slipped from Millenian's lips were, of all things, an apology. Millenian lowered her eyes slightly and trembled her eyelashes as though she were genuinely sorry. "Won't you... give me a chance to apologize?" Then, hesitantly, she continued in a slow voice. "...You want to apologize to me?" Suspicion filled Theodore's blue eyes. Millenian had never harmed her when other people were around. She…

<Chapter 22> In the end, the two of them left the royal palace without accomplishing anything of significance. Millenian kept her lips tightly shut as she fell deep into thought. The situation was worse than she had expected. The King did not seem willing to change his decision. That meant Theodore's magical power was even greater than she had imagined. She needed one decisive move to overturn his decision. "...About earlier, Grayen." Her younger brother was impatient and not…

Chapter 23 Now it was time to receive the prisoners. The number of prisoners was limited, while many people wanted one, so there was a high chance that anyone who didn't attend wouldn't be able to receive one. The reason I'd gone all the way here was finally here! “Hmm, let's see. What about that one?” The Emperor casually looked over the prisoners with their heads bowed, then pointed at a well-built, muscular man kneeling at the very front. His sturdy forearms and impressive abs,…-

Chapter 22 As soon as I arrived at Marin Palace, I quickly changed into my dress in time for the banquet. Even though I was going secretly, there was no way I could fool a demon's eyes. So… I planned to hurry back before Ivan found out. Let's have an exceptionally agile day! Just as I was almost ready to leave and stood up from my seat— “……?” I felt a gaze. And not just any gaze. It was an incredibly intense one. “Oh my, I think Meonji wants to go with us…
