Chapter 20 Tap, tap. Footsteps approached, deliberately loud enough to be heard. When everyone saw the person coming toward them, they fell silent as if they had planned it together. Cedric approached Rea, bowed his head, and said, “His Highness would like to see you for a moment.” “Right now?” “Yes.” Rea stood and told everyone, “I might be late, so go ahead and eat without me.” “Yes, Representative.” Penny fidgeted, clearly wanting to follow…-

Chapter 19 The next morning, two scouts departed ahead of the group. They returned and rejoined the party around evening. “The mountain collapsed, and the landslide has partially covered the road. With a little work, a small carriage could probably get through, but Black Star won’t be able to pass.” Their report was similar to what Rea had said. So the party changed their route and followed the path Rea had told them about. Around noon the next day, they reached the entrance…

Chapter 18 They traveled throughout the morning, then stopped around noon to eat and let the horses rest before continuing on their way. It was only when the sun began to set that the party settled down at a suitable campsite. Penny got out of the carriage and patted her lower back. “Ugh. Riding in a carriage for that long is torture. It makes my stomach queasy, too.” Penny turned to Rea, who was getting out behind her. “How are you still so energetic, Princess?” Rea…

Chapter 63 Jörmungandr (2) The Ministry of Defense building was in complete chaos. The first cause was Jörmungandr, which had suddenly begun accelerating. The second was Jeongwoo's visit. Both incidents had the same cause. Takada Ryuken, the Minister of Defense, had provoked Jörmungandr. Ryuken's chin trembled. He had never imagined things would turn out like this. H-How did this happen...? He had only wanted to gain even a little more credit. It would have been enough to…

Chapter 62 Jörmungandr (1) The year-end and New Year rush was everywhere. There were still places where Christmas trees continued to sparkle because people had not quite forgotten Christmas yet, while events looking toward the coming year were being held all over the city. It was peaceful. But it was a strangely distorted kind of peace. Ho-jong spoke about it at a yakitori restaurant near the hotel, a place that had recently become their regular spot. “It’s a strange country. If this…

Chapter 61 The Fourth Summon (3) It happened again. The moment became involved, the message appeared. This time, it was even more obvious. ‘Review. Rejected.’ Those keywords seemed to suggest something. As expected, the Hunter System seemed less like a natural phenomenon and more like something close to a transcendent will. However, it did not seem to be a perfect master that controlled everything. From what had happened when ■■■■ was locked to things like the re-review…

Chapter 58 “Don’t Get Obsessed, Your Highness!” (2) “Where should we go?” “Anywhere.” “Wouldn’t you know better than me, Mr. Philod? Isn’t there somewhere fun we could go, or something interesting we could see?” “Yes. Then, just a moment…” While Jua-iye stood in a sunny spot and stretched, Philod fell into deep thought. He had once happened to glance through Jua-iye’s guidebook. He remembered seeing pages she had marked for the botanical garden, the…-

Chapter 57 “Don’t Get Obsessed, Your Highness!” (1) A stray cat came bounding through the open window with a piece of paper in its mouth. The fat cat calmly landed on the bed, right on Jua-iye’s stomach, and looked down at her. She took the paper, which was covered in cat saliva, and examined it closely. It was a drawing of someone lying in bed. The drawing was clumsy, as if it had been made by a three- or four-year-old child, but whoever had drawn it had clearly been serious and…

Chapter 56 That Means Love (17) “Um…… may I ask where we’re going?” Jua-iye asked. Even after they left H University, the two of them were still standing there, looking out over Cheonggyecheon. Amid the city noise—the sound of wheels rolling by and people talking as they came and went—she could hear the sound of flowing water. Philod hesitated. When Jua-iye stared at him, he finally opened his mouth. “How about dinner first? I know a place that serves delicious lamb…
