Chapter 7 Just then, their eyes met. Noah seemed startled and quickly looked away. Gabriel could do nothing but stare at her. Noah was smaller and more delicate than Gabriel had expected, and almost excessively… What was the right word to describe her? “Pretty” didn't quite fit. It wasn't that she wasn't pretty, but there was definitely a better word. Gabriel still hadn't found the right expression by the time he parted ways with Noah on their first day. It was only after…-

Chapter 6 While Noah prepared the cookies and coffee, Gabriel calmly straightened his clothes. “The cookies are from the academy where I work as a teacher. They’re not anything fancy, but they’re quite good.” Before bringing up the difficult subject, Noah tried her best to create a comfortable atmosphere. “Thank you.” She served hot coffee and cookies, but the spread looked terribly humble. When would a Cardinal ever have eaten something like this? ‘Of course, it’s not…

Chapter 5 “You know that the mages will also be joining this subjugation, right?” The Controllers nodded. “The religious order does not have a very good relationship with mages. I’m sure you all know that.” The divine power of the religious order and the magical power of mages came from different origins. Since the religious order had many people who possessed divine power, they considered the power used by mages to originate from the magic stones found inside monsters. Because of…

Chapter 4 How frightened had Noah been when she heard that she might be sent to kill a Demon Dragon? A sigh of relief escaped her before she could stop it. The other priests looked just as relieved as Noah. “Your Eminence treated us so warmly that, honestly, I was a little worried.” “Me too. I was afraid they might drag us off to kill a dragon even though our abilities aren't particularly useful……” Once everyone finally started talking, they began quietly pouring out the things…

Chapter 3 “Please have some refreshments as well.” The finger food decorated with fruit and chocolate was not something normally served by the religious order. Gabriel hid his face behind his long sleeve and teacup, pretending to drink the tea. There was always a chance that something had been added to the food or tea. “It’s a pleasant tea, both in aroma and taste.” “I’m glad you like it.” “What was the problem with your room?” There was no point in dragging the…

Chapter 2 As Noah looked closely, she realized that Gabriel was holding out his hand with his palm facing upward. Apparently, she had remembered the etiquette incorrectly. Noah politely took Gabriel’s hand in both of hers, kissed his palm, and stammered, “I touch the hand of grace.” That was probably how the greeting went, but she hoped she had not gotten it wrong. The moment Noah’s lips touched his palm, Gabriel’s hand stiffened. At the same moment, Noah’s hands began to…

Chapter 1 “Don’t worry too much, Mother. We have a capable teacher with divine power at our academy.” At the director’s gentle voice, Noah, who was standing awkwardly in one corner of the director’s office, smiled awkwardly. The child, held by his mother’s hand, was desperately trying to touch the things in the director’s office. The mother’s expression as she tried to stop the child was almost heartbreaking. “Priest Noah.” At the director’s words, Noah stretched out one…

Chapter 20 Koreatown of the Ilgentavita Empire (13) The northern border of the Ilgentavita Empire was the Ajindbatri Mountains. It was a high-altitude region covered in eternal snow, with rugged terrain and steep mountains. No one knew exactly how wide the plateau was or how high the mountains were. Inside the mountains, native people formed tribes and lived by hunting. Their numbers were so small that even the central government of the Empire did not consider them worth conquering. The territory…-

Chapter 19 Koreatown of the Ilgentavita Empire (12) That afternoon, the Duke's family sat around the tea table. Various cookies and cakes decorated the table beautifully. Hwanhee looked at them one by one. For example, the rectangular cookie with rounded corners was a langue de chat. It was French for "cat's tongue." Even though there was no France in the Ilgentavita Empire, the cookie was still called langue de chat. The thick crown-shaped bread with a hole in the middle was called Gugelhupf in…

Chapter 18 Koreatown of the Ilgentavita Empire (11) The next day, as soon as afternoon came, Hwanhee began preparing to go out. She wanted to visit Lavilleservitu Street. However, according to Adan, Lavilleservitu Street was a slum. There was no way the Duke and Duchess would allow their precious daughter to visit a slum. She had planned to sneak out when the Duke went to the racetrack or went hunting, but that day, the Duke did not leave the house. He was sitting in a wide courtyard that could…
