Chapter 40 “I am the Knight Commander who protects the Kingdom of Mandarin. As such, I place the well-being of the country above everything else.” “……?” “His Highness's peace is directly connected to the well-being of the country.” Her eyes, fixed on me, were serious and determined, as though she had made up her mind about something. “So I will ask you to forgive my rudeness, Lady Elly.” Even after several hours passed, she did nothing to me. She simply remained…-

Chapter 39 …Ruklrus. No, Rus. Ruklrus in the appearance of Knight Rus. The moment I saw him, I finally realized the source of the fishy smell that had reached my nose. The smell of blood. The overwhelming stench of blood. Blood was splattered all over his once-neat uniform. With one hand covered by a glove soaked so thoroughly in blood that it had turned dark red, he was gripping my friend by the collar and holding the tip of his sword against her throat. It was him. Rus, who…

Chapter 38 Why… don’t I remember anything? “Huh?” I quickly climbed out of bed and examined myself. Come to think of it, I was still wearing the exact same clothes I had put on yesterday. I tried to remember what had happened during the night. But no matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn’t remember. Scratching my temple, I opened the door slightly and looked outside. As always, the attendants were waiting with their backs against the walls. Kasana was there too.…

Chapter 37 I had thought that he was angry about something, but suddenly, the face of Ruklrus, who had been looking at me, turned red. At the same time, it felt as though his mood had gently softened. “……?” The voice that had sounded pained became somewhat gentler. “It wasn’t the you of now… I was shaken by what the original Elly said.” The original Elly? “For a brief moment, you were there with all your memories. Judging by the way you’re acting now, though, it seems…

Chapter 20 My Husband Lives Inside the Painting “Ugh… damn it.” Gail woke with a terrible headache, and a suppressed groan escaped his lips. “Where… am I?” Staggering as he got to his feet, Gail cast his gaze into the distance. A field of sunflowers stretched as far as the horizon. The sunflowers, reaching up to his waist, held their heads proudly toward the sky. But there was something strangely bizarre about the sight. The overwhelming bright-yellow color was…-

Chapter 19 It was then, amid the heavy silence, when the clinking of tableware seemed unusually loud. “Cough, cough!” The Count suddenly broke the silence with a fit of coughing. His face had gone pale as he accepted the handkerchief offered by a servant and wiped his mouth. Swallowing a sigh, he steadied his breathing before speaking again in a grave voice. “…My strength is no longer what it used to be. I’ve called every physician in the capital reputed to be skilled, but nothing…

Chapter 18 At that moment, Gail’s eyes turned cold. “When did I ask for your opinion?” “Y-yes…?” “Know your place. How dare a mere servant speak so carelessly.” “I-I’m sorry. Young Master—no, Young Count.” “The choice is mine to make. If you cross the line one more time, I’ll have your mouth sewn shut.” “Yes…” His own dignity was more important than anything else. Only after crushing the insolent servant who had dared to overstep his position did…

Chapter 17 A woman who secretly sent a gift to another man not long after her husband had died. If that was the case, then it seemed reasonable to assume that the two of them had some sort of intimate relationship. ‘But… she didn’t seem like the kind of person who would go that far.’ Then, all of a sudden, Claude felt ridiculous for even thinking about it. “My lord, why have your eyes turned into triangles again? You suddenly look terrifying.” “……” “I told you not…

Chapter 25 “Your Majesty. I-I'll be more careful from now on. I promise this will never happen again. If you would only forgive me this once—” “No. There won't be a second chance. One mistake like this is enough.” “Your Majesty…? Ah…? Aah!” She had been gazing up at the Emperor with rapturous eyes when pain suddenly overwhelmed her, and she screamed. Her trembling eyes dropped downward. A sharp fruit knife was buried in the left side of her chest. Seeing the blade…-

Chapter 24 Instead of answering the question, Charles looked out the window. Outside, the Marquis of Berichmen had apparently gone out at some point and was running around excitedly. Looking more closely, Charles saw that he was holding an insect-catching net in one hand. Several servants and maids were following closely behind him as he ran about energetically. Every one of them looked terrified, their faces pale with worry that the marquis might trip and fall at any moment. It would be…
