Chapter 12 After putting a lot of effort into physical training and self-defense, Jii’s position in the facility rose sharply as the years passed. She eventually reached a level where her real combat ability was among the top five, and after that, the number of people who could easily mess with her without borrowing the warden’s authority became extremely small. So they had no choice but to show her respect. As time passed, Jii, who had endured everything through sheer stubbornness and guts,…-

Chapter 11 Because whenever I had the ability to protect myself somehow, I had to protect myself by any means necessary. But this time, I had not come here for legitimate self-defense to protect myself. I had come here because of my determination for revenge, in order to do something that I should never do. Or could it be that my heart was beating like this simply because that man was too handsome? Either way, this was technically our first meeting, wasn't it? In Ji-i's eyes, the man had…

Chapter 10 “Homeless? Did you just call her homeless?” At Arang’s words, Jii immediately became sharp. “Yeah, homeless.” “Are you done talking?” “I’m not wrong…” At Jii’s reaction, Arang trailed off. “Let’s stop. Forget I said anything.” The veins on Jii’s forehead immediately stood out. She jumped up from her seat, and Arang grabbed her wrist again. “N-No. No. That’s not what I meant. I misspoke.” Then she pleaded desperately. It seemed…

Chapter 10 As Haesom’s eyes reddened, Jaehyun stared down at her. Feeling his gaze, Haesom tried to compose herself, telling herself not to cry. Even so, once her heart had been touched, it did not immediately become firm again. Just when she was flustered because she felt like she might start crying again, a warm sensation touched Haesom’s hand. Startled, she raised her gaze, and Jaehyun said with a faint smile, “Let’s go quickly. We’ll spend the whole night standing in front of…-

Chapter 9 Haesom slowly nodded as if she already knew what Jaehyun was going to say. “Were you only unable to read the very last volume?” Haesom nodded even more vigorously and said, “Yes… . It ended right after Arong was attacked and went into cardiac arrest. I was so curious about what happened after that that I think I spent an entire year worrying about it. I searched all over the house so many times. I kept wondering if there might be another volume somewhere.” Jaehyun…

Chapter 9 Even when there was a school event that required parents to attend, it was not much of a problem. That was possible because Arang's adoptive parents were both active doctors and had always been permanently stationed at the trauma center, both then and now. There were times when Arang's adoptive parents came to the school as her parents. Even then, they had barely managed to make time by splitting and splitting their schedules. They would only see Ji-i's face for a moment, attend the official…

Chapter 12 Derrick, who had left seeing the guest off to the Vice Guild Master under the excuse of having urgent business, took out a cigar and put it in his mouth. The red ember flickered. The smoke he exhaled quickly scattered, but Ethan Esteban's words still remained vivid in his mind. “You don't have to worry. I have no intention of making advances on someone else's lover.” At first glance, it sounded as if he was agreeing with Derrick's words, but that was not the case. This was clearly a…-

Chapter 11 Meeting Ethan Esteban, who had become a war hero, was always uncomfortable, but this was by far the most awkward situation. Elisa was frozen in shock at the unexpected meeting for a moment, but then she saw that the carriage door was wide open and hurriedly closed it. Thud. The sound of her heart pounding was louder than the sound of the door closing. The shadow that had grown longer by now covered the carriage like a cloth. He didn't see, right? He couldn't have seen. Please, I…

Chapter 8 “…Your Highness, it has been a long time.” “Indeed, it has been a long time, Lady Edverbud.” The last time they had met was the day she had held a dagger to her neck and threatened to kill herself, so this was their first meeting in about two months. She was the person who had shown her just how pointless it had been to struggle desperately with her life on the line. Perhaps because it had happened so long ago. Once, she had been so jealous and resentful of her. But…-

Chapter 10 SIDE OUT: Rayleigh Kraha If someone had grabbed Rayleigh Kraha about ten years ago and told him, “Someday, you will throw everything away and leave even your own world to chase after the woman you love,” Rayleigh Kraha would have scoffed and called it bullshit before cleanly separating that person’s head from their body. He was sure that everyone who knew Rayleigh Kraha would have thought the same. In fact, when Rayleigh Kraha said that he was going to chase after her and leave…-
