Chapter 10 Koreatown of the Ilgentavita Empire (3) Hwanhee stretched out her legs and lay down on the large bed. Looking out the window, she could see snow piled up here and there. It was winter. Servants were walking around the large garden attached to the mansion, clearing away the snow. The tree branches were bare, but she could smell flowers coming from somewhere. Looking closely, she saw that her—Aiolia’s—room was decorated with vases full of roses in full bloom. They must have been growing…-

Chapter 9 Koreatown of the Ilgentavita Empire (2) However, just like in the other world, this world did not let her sleep. She thought she heard footsteps and voices, and then someone suddenly pulled away her blanket. Hwanhee curled up her body and shoved her head under the pillow. Of course, it did not help much. Someone else took the pillow away, and bright sunlight pierced through her closed eyes. Hwanhee had no choice but to open her eyes. She tried to convey through her eyes, I’m so…

Chapter 8 Koreatown of the Ilgentavita Empire (1) The day Jua-iye first opened her eyes was a winter day one year ago. Sometimes, when you can feel the soft, thick texture of the mattress between your fingers, and the weight of the cotton blanket pressing pleasantly against your shoulders, you burrow deeper into the bed while feeling the cold winter air against your cheek, only to suddenly realize that sunlight is shining straight down. At times like that, regardless of the body that had already…

Chapter 7 Prologue (7) For a moment, everything seemed to move infinitely slowly. There was not a single piece of furniture in Ritorna’s room that had been placed there carelessly. Everything was not only beautiful and luxurious, but also had its own story. The table where Ritorna and Aiolia had elegantly enjoyed tea with a three-tier afternoon tea set had originally been a tactical desk used by a king of a distant country to look at maps. It had an iron frame plated with gold, a rosewood top…

Chapter 6 Prologue (6) Jua-iye's voice trembled. The string of words, made up of only a few words, was too fragile to contain so many emotions, and it seemed as though it could break apart at any moment. If she had to give those thoughts a name, the strongest one was impatience. Even when she had another name, Jua-iye had never had the temperament of a gambler. If she was going to gamble, she had to consider every piece of evidence she could gather before making a judgment. Because of that, she…

Chapter 11 The one who boldly attacked first was Rea, but she lost the initiative in an instant. “Mm…….” She could not overcome the strength with which he held her, and she was too busy trying to keep up with his relentless kisses. Whenever she ran out of breath, he pulled his lips away, only to change direction and continue kissing her again. “Haa, ha…….” Their heated breaths mixed together, and their lips slid against each other. Karion savored the feeling of the blonde…

Chapter 10 ‘If I had not come here…… I heard that he would have already left for the next place of inspection a few days ago. Normally, he would never have experienced this forest fire.’ Lea bit her lips over and over. ‘Is it because of me?’ Lea thought seriously for a while before falling back onto the bed. ‘Anyway, I already changed the future the moment I returned. I knew beforehand that everything could change.’ She turned onto her side. Her hair seemed to be sticking to…

Chapter 9 Carion’s blurred vision caught the sight of green, sparkling eyes trembling. He clearly knew who those green eyes belonged to, but he could not remember. Right now, he could not think of anything. Only the desperate thought that he must not let go of the person in his arms consumed him. “Carion?” He wrapped an arm around the back of her neck and pulled her closer, swallowing the lips that called his name. He wanted to touch her more, to go deeper. Only one thought…

Chapter 8 The strong wind made the forest fire grow larger and worsened the situation, but that actually worked in her favor. If there had been no wind at all, her ability would have been limited. There were limits to a mere human being's ability to control the enormous power of nature. The stronger the wind was, the more Lea's ability was amplified, but delicate control became more difficult. The power of spirits was like a moody child. It was not something she could command and force. She…

Chapter 7 Lea was born as a princess of the kingdom, but she grew up without knowing anything about the fierce struggle for power. After her father passed away, her older brother inherited the throne as was only natural, and her kind older brother willingly took on the role of her protector. If nothing had happened, she probably would have chosen a decent husband in the kingdom, married him, and lived carelessly for the rest of her life while being called “Princess.” She had stopped the…
