Chapter 28 “Magistrate.” The magistrate, who was stiff with fear, answered. “Yes, Your Highness!” “Has something like this happened before?” “No, Your Highness. But they have already received a tax deferment twice…… Your Highness. Those men really are collectors from the Treasury Department.” “That does not matter. The problem is that they mobilized the army. Using the Imperial Army privately without authorization is a serious crime.” Karion had…-

Chapter 27 “You are Bella Bartol, right?” “Yes. I am.” “I have something to tell you for Apothecary Ivan Bartol.” Bella said in confusion. “My father passed away. It has already been quite…” “Yes. My condolences, even though they are late. Since he is no longer here, I want to tell it to his child.” “……Please come in.” They entered the small log cabin. Bella seemed to be preparing to boil water, perhaps to serve tea, but Rea spoke. “I have to…

Chapter 26 Karion had traveled around the northeastern region for six years, but there were still more places he had never visited than places he had. Whenever he moved to another military base, he chose less-traveled roads, so he rarely had any reason to visit areas far from the bases. He did remember the name of a city called Hecatia. The fact that he remembered it meant that it had a population above a certain size and was under the Empire's administration. That was why he was…

Chapter 25 “Is there no way to escape this curse?” “Your Highness.” “You say it is not a curse? To me, it is nothing but a disgusting and terrible curse.” There was a quiet anger in his low voice. ‘As she said, I was lucky.’ Rea had naturally accepted the spirit's power and connected with the spirit. In an instant, the spirit had become a precious friend who could never be replaced. And the spirit of wind had been kind from the beginning, true to its nature…

Chapter 24 “I have a wind spirit. Wind is the power of harmony. So it calms Your Highness’s spirit when it runs wild.” “Does everyone from the Kingdom of Zephyros have the power of a spirit?” “Of course not. I’m the only one.” “How did you get it?” “…I don’t really know.” Lea could not explain here the long and complicated story of how she awakened the power of a spirit, including what happened in her previous life. “There is one thing I know for…

Chapter 23 Cedric looked at Luke suspiciously. Luke had a different way of getting on Cedric’s nerves than Orbin did. He liked lazing around and lying down like a well-fed bear. Despite being the commander of the Commander-in-Chief’s guards, he was always so laid-back about everything. Cedric had never once seen him volunteer to do something first. Whenever Cedric said something to him, Luke would confidently reply, “Have you ever seen a soldier ant work?” Cedric…

Chapter 22 “Good night, Princess.” “Sleep well, Penny.” The small tent was almost completely filled with just Rea and Penny lying down. Soon, she heard Penny’s steady breathing beside her. I should go to sleep soon too. I need to be ready for tomorrow… But Rea lay wide awake, staring into the pitch-black darkness. As she went over her conversation with Karion, her thoughts naturally led to the kiss they had shared. His kiss had been hot and persistent that night,…

Chapter 21 “Princess.” “…Yes.” “You really make me feel like a shameless man.” Karion gave a bitter smile. “I’m the one who should be begging for help. Not you.” Then his expression turned cold again. He raised his chin and said, “To be honest, I don’t know if I can trust you, Princess. But I’ll accept your help.” Rea let out a hollow laugh. His arrogant attitude, as if he were doing her a favor, suited that handsome face so perfectly that it…

Chapter 20 Tap, tap. Footsteps approached, deliberately loud enough to be heard. When everyone saw the person coming toward them, they fell silent as if they had planned it together. Cedric approached Rea, bowed his head, and said, “His Highness would like to see you for a moment.” “Right now?” “Yes.” Rea stood and told everyone, “I might be late, so go ahead and eat without me.” “Yes, Representative.” Penny fidgeted, clearly wanting to follow…

Chapter 19 The next morning, two scouts departed ahead of the group. They returned and rejoined the party around evening. “The mountain collapsed, and the landslide has partially covered the road. With a little work, a small carriage could probably get through, but Black Star won’t be able to pass.” Their report was similar to what Rea had said. So the party changed their route and followed the path Rea had told them about. Around noon the next day, they reached the entrance…
