Chapter 20 “Lily, if you want, you can come to my house and practice anytime.” “Why? Do you think I lied about having a piano just to protect my pride?” It was the first time Aiden had seen her in person since returning to Zerphium, so it was not strange for him to think that. After all, just a few days ago, Aurelia did not have a piano of her own. “My father had a piano brought into the house, so you don't have to worry.” “Still. If you ever need one, come over…-

Chapter 19 She still hated his arrogance. Now, she even hated his incredible talent. If only he did not have such extraordinary talent, she could hate him without hesitation. ‘The more I hate him, the more I prove that I’m inferior to him.’ That was unbearably unfair. Because Aurelia believed that she, too, possessed countless talents just as great as his. So whether it was the ticket money or the price of the violin, she had to earn the money herself and pay him back,…

Chapter 18 Aurelia had been completely defeated. Her tears proved everything. “You already know that I understand this violin better than you do, even though you were the one who made it.” Therefore, this instrument should belong to him. “I am the owner of this violin. Not you.” It was a perfect victory, just like his performance. Leonard had never picked a fight he could lose, and the Goddess of Victory had always been on his side. “Anything more than this is just…

Chapter 17 To Aiden, Leonard was his employer before he was his friend. And as someone who was a noble to the bone, Leonard was accustomed to looking down on others. Telling Aiden to bring Aurelia was not a request but an order, and as nothing more than his accompanist, Aiden had no choice but to obey. Aiden forced down the uneasiness that kept rising inside him and gave Aurelia an awkward smile. If Leonard hurt Aurelia, he could simply stay by her side as he always had. Then, behind the…

Chapter 21 Their roles were a wealthy married couple from another country who were traveling around Franz. They deliberately wore expensive clothes and covered themselves in jewelry. “Shall we leave?” Kaileph approached as if he intended to escort her, but Eroika pretended not to notice and climbed into the carriage. Taking the carriage instead of riding horses was Kaileph’s choice, as he was mindful of Eroika’s condition. On the way to the orphanage, Kaileph told Eroika some…-

Chapter 20 “I came here because there is something I need to find.” Kaileph spoke first from behind the old man. “What could you possibly be looking for in this village that is already falling apart?” “Please tell me about the children who disappeared.” “Why do you want to know the village's secret?” “Shouldn't we bring the children back?” The old man was still sitting with his back turned. Even without seeing him, he could tell from the young man's voice…

Chapter 19 If they continued talking any longer, Eroika felt like her mind would become hazy. More precisely, she felt the walls she had built around Kaileph would suddenly come crashing down. So this time, she firmly refused him. They now shared the same goal, and there was nothing left to discuss. Spending more time together was unnecessary. Kaileph did not speak to Eroika any further either. There were many things he wanted to ask, but her health came first. “Get some rest. I'll…

Chapter 18 It was a place unfamiliar even to Kaileph. The eastern stone tower, where the Emperor's underground prison was located. He had never paid much attention to it, since he had heard that Bosarva's vault was at the top. It was also a place that did not exist in Matine's memories from the night before. “That place was covered in blood. Your Highness, it seems the Emperor bathes in blood and even consumes it.” Kaileph was slightly shocked. What she had told him was beyond…

Chapter 21 Although it was a humiliating position, at least it was better than going insane. This wasn't just something people said—those with weak mental fortitude really could lose their minds. ‘They said Viscount Sachsen ended up like that...’ I had heard that his mind came and went like dementia, with moments when he was lucid and others when he wasn't. He was an annoying man who had interfered with my family trip, but I had never wished for him to be ruined to that…-
