Chapter 6 Karion walked with a fierce expression, clenching his fists tightly. But by the time he reached his office, his upset stomach had almost settled down. He thought back on why he had left that place in anger, unable to control his emotions. Until now, he had lived in the middle of a battlefield filled with political schemes. An emperor who constantly tested his five sons, half-brothers who were always looking for chances to bring each other down, and wolves gathering around him to…

Chapter 5 “Ah…… I heard it was okay for me to take a walk.” ‘I didn’t sense anyone’s presence.’ It was strange. Normally, after having an attack, his senses became even sharper. Karion relaxed the tension between his brows. “It is early.” “I usually wake up early.” Without saying anything, Karion suddenly turned around and walked away. Lea quickly followed him. “Your Highness!” Just as she almost caught up with him, he stopped and turned around,…

Chapter 4 Knock, knock. Cedric knocked on the door and entered. “Your Highness. Someone whose identity has not been confirmed has come to the garrison….” He stopped when he saw the unfamiliar woman standing face-to-face with Carion. He instinctively turned his gaze toward Orbin. Orbin was desperately signaling with his hands and feet for him to shut up and come over here. Cedric quietly walked over and stood beside Orbin. Carion thought the woman who was looking straight into…

Chapter 3 “Actually, I had been thinking about it for some time. One is opening the borders. The other is becoming a vassal state of the Empire.” Lea looked at Aren with surprised eyes. Lea had already been wondering how she should persuade Aren. The solution Aren had been thinking about was the same as the best choice Lea had reached after debating with the King of Nortia. “You had been thinking about it already?” “Yes. But there was strong opposition. If I had made it public, I…

Chapter 02 Deep in the night, Lea quietly opened the door to her bedroom. A middle-aged man with gray hair, who had been waiting in front of the door, bowed his head. He was Kasim, the Captain of the Royal Guard. Lea and Kasim quietly left the corridor. Thanks to Kasim knowing the guards' patrol routes by heart, they headed toward the sanctuary deep inside the royal castle without being noticed by anyone. “We will watch from here.” Lea settled down in a secluded spot where she could see…

Chapter 01 That day, when she was twenty. Lea spent the whole day in the stable, delighted by the birth of twin foals. She happily wondered what names she should give them, and eventually fell asleep. Then, deep in the night, she opened her eyes when her nurse urgently shook her awake. “Princess, you have to get up.” With a pale, frightened face, the nurse hurriedly dressed Lea. After running as if they were escaping, they arrived at the entrance of a secret underground passage. There,…

Chapter 9 ―Ajin-nim. Whenever I rode in Rayleigh’s car, I had control over the background music selection. In other words, the basic Bluetooth device connected to his car was my phone. Thanks to that, when I pressed the call button, Rayleigh’s voice came through the car audio. I minimized the call screen and continued searching while sincerely pleading with him. “Please don’t tell me that a gate opened, or a portal opened, or creatures are pouring out.” ―Then, instead, I will answer…-

Chapter 8 “Why am I hanging around with you?” “You will be spending time with me. Since you have already eaten, shall we go to a café first? You said you would normally spend time with me starting in the evening, so I announced that the dessert shop would be open in the evening as well. I finished preparing the baking in advance before coming out.” “Can you even run a shop like that……?” In the end, I had no choice but to start walking, pushed along by his gesture. But since I had…

Chapter 7 I felt awful. If you ask why I felt awful, it was simply because I felt awful. After ending my not-quite-a-date with Rayleigh Kraha at dawn in a completely messed-up mood, I came back to my apartment, slept for a while, and woke up feeling even more like shit. “You’re saying you’ve been feeling like shit lately? The things that are feeling the shittiest these days are your internal organs and your doctor’s mood.” Dr. Jung Si-hoon answered while looking over my blood test…

Chapter 6 “Hey, you just had a rude thought, didn’t you?” “Would I really do that?” “Then what were you thinking?” When I coldly pressed him for an answer, Reilly lowered his gaze without saying anything. Then he took hold of each of my wrists and raised them up before asking another question. “Did you eat dinner before going to sleep?” “Why are you suddenly asking me that?” “Did you eat?” “I stayed up all night for several days and then passed out from…
