Chapter 3 There’s nothing. Clack. Davion tossed the file onto the desk and rested his arm against his forehead as he closed his eyes. He had checked the entry and exit records from every checkpoint in the city. There was no trace of Cecilia anywhere. Not only because of her hair color, but also because of her peculiar presence, she was the kind of woman who stood out even when she was simply standing still. So he couldn't believe that the checkpoint officers had somehow overlooked…-

Chapter 2 The next morning. On a main street where cars and carriages moved chaotically among one another, Cecilia stood there for a long time in a daze, blinking her large eyes. Ruby was no different. Hidden inside Cecilia's cloak, he could not seem to find the words to say anything and only clicked his beak. What... is this? There seemed to be two, no, three times as many city constables patrolling the streets as usual. Did a murder happen last night or something? The constables…

Prologue: The Missing Corpse 1. The First Death 1-0. The Missing Corpse It was a night when heavy rain poured down and covered the full moon. At the small cemetery belonging to a church on the outskirts of the city, rain fell steadily over the rows of stone grave markers, making a constant, monotonous sound. Among the old, neglected graves stood a small tombstone that looked as though it had only recently been made. The name carved into it with exquisite detail reflected the pale light of the…

Chapter 32 It was only a little while later that Erasmus leaned the broom against one side and headed toward the chair under the parasol. After receiving a cup of instant coffee, he held it with both hands and slowly sat down. Sehee watched him and thought to herself. ‘Maybe I can get a hint if I ask him something.’ She tapped the armrest twice with her finger and spoke. “Have you heard any rumors from outside?” Erasmus slightly raised an eyebrow. “By outside, you…-

Chapter 31 • … 50P Se-hee's finger stopped. “Huh?” Can coffee? Se-hee tapped the can icon once more to enlarge it. The silver metal surface gleamed, making its presence clear. ‘There can't possibly be anyone in this world who has tried canned coffee.’ It was not hot, freshly brewed coffee, but sweet coffee that could be drunk cold right away. Someone with a picky taste might actually be more interested in something strange like this. Se-hee's gaze moved…

Chapter 30 She stirred the pot once more and checked the seasoning of the broth. The red noodles caught on her chopsticks, rose into the air, and then dropped back into the pot with a plop. “Please line up. It’s first come, first served today.” She had said it casually, but several knights actually took a step forward. “Ah!” Seeing the knights lining up, Se-hee looked at Cassian. ‘It’s probably better to serve the Duke first.’ He was a regular customer and…

Chapter 29 For a moment, neither of them said anything. The only sound left was the quiet crackling of the campfire. The sound of the wind brushing past and the leaves hitting each other was strangely clear. Even though neither of them spoke, it felt as if their attention was naturally drawn to each other. Since the silence felt awkward, Se-hee eventually spoke first. “Normally, I’m supposed to do everything myself.” “You could have left it to me today.” Se-hee…

Chapter 28 ‘The Duke’s residence is too stiff.’ Cassian immediately thought of other places. Thinking that Sehee liked forests, Cassian thought of a place where the wind could pass through freely and plenty of sunlight could enter. ‘It would be better to renovate a separate building with a large garden.’ Cassian’s gaze moved from the tent to the open space. Then he looked at Sehee’s back as she sat in the chair for a moment. Sehee would not give up her business. She was…

Chapter 27 Thanks to the knights, the Duke, and the wyverns, her point balance had become quite substantial. ‘Even so, it looks like it’ll take forever to collect 100,000 points.’ Se-hee sighed inwardly. She stared beyond the forest for a moment before muttering casually. “Should I try leaving this forest at least once? I don’t mean retiring, but I’d like to sleep in a nice house.” Her true feelings were clear. She wanted to get away from living in a…

Chapter 26 ‘Sei doesn't look well.’ She looked fine on the outside, but it was even more obvious that she was forcing herself to endure. The small figure that looked as if it might collapse at any moment was a far cry from the commanding way she had just been handling the knights. Even so, Sehee still held the chopsticks in one hand and acted as if nothing was wrong. “Does anyone want some more?” Her voice was clear, but even from a distance, it was obvious that she was…
