Chapter 9 Carnike blinked silently. What did I just hear? Did this man just say he intends to seize the Imperial Throne? Did I hear him correctly? “…You intend to seize the Imperial Throne.” “That is correct.” “But you are the Crown Prince, are you not?” Theopista folded his arms and crooked one eyebrow upward. “I am.” Carnike blinked for a moment, then asked again with an expression that clearly showed she could not understand. “The Crown Prince will…-

Chapter 8 Of course, when Duke Reinach had taught her how to fabricate an oracle, he had specifically mentioned the weather. ‘From around this time until the wheat and rice harvests, everyone becomes sensitive to the weather. You know that too, don’t you?’ ‘Yes, I know. In the countryside, elderly people get up early every dawn to predict what the weather will be like.’ ‘Exactly. The capital is the same. So if you can’t think of anything else to make up, give an oracle concerning…

Chapter 7 If only thorns would sprout from that chair… Carnike glared resentfully at the offending chair, but soon changed her mind. Anyone else might have been deterred, but if it was this Crown Prince, Carnike felt that whether thorns sprouted from the chair or blades were embedded in it, he would force her to sit down anyway. Carnike quietly took her seat, folded her hands over her lap, and lowered her head as respectfully as possible. Not making eye contact is the basic rule of…

Chapter 6 In her desperation, even the most ridiculous ideas had begun to seem like brilliant solutions. However, before Carnike could go looking for some plaster, she heard a knock at the door. It was Priest Felis. “Priest Felis!” Carnike approached Felis as though she had found a ladder at the bottom of a cliff. As a High Priest, he was also close to Duke Reinach, and Carnike believed he was one of the few people who knew her secret. She could trust him. Surely Priest Felis would be…

Chapter 5 When Carnike’s hair was almost caught in the fine-toothed comb, Lia let out a startled squeak and quickly pulled her hand away. “Saintess! That was close.” “Lia, how can you always be so calm? I’ve always wondered. Don’t you ever think I’m ridiculous?” “Me?” Lia’s eyes widened as she shrugged, as though she had just heard the strangest thing in the world. “How could I ever dare think such a thing about you, Saintess? Why would you say that?” “No……

Chapter 4 “Is that true?” “Yes, Your Imperial Highness.” The furrow between Theophista’s brows deepened. “Duke Reinach brought in the next Saintess, you say…” “Isn’t he someone who would be unlikely to resort to such a scheme?” Cullen asked. Theophista did not answer. Instead, he flicked the reins again, and the clopping of the horse’s hooves resumed. Theophista, who was riding ahead of Cullen, muttered under his breath. “He isn’t the sort to do something…

Chapter 2 Carnike followed Duke Reinach and sat down at the table. Only then did she notice the gifts the Emperor’s attendant had left behind, still sitting there untouched. Embarrassed, Carnike cleared her throat. “I’ll have the table cleared.” “No, there’s no need. I have a meeting with the officials soon, so I can’t stay long anyway. Besides, I came because there’s something important I need to tell you.” Something important? Carnike tilted her head and looked at the…

Chapter 1 It all began with a single word spoken by a single person. “A twenty-year-old maiden living in a village called Lillet in the northwestern region of the Empire is suitable to become the next Saintess. Bring her here.” A bead of sweat rolled down the forehead of the woman who continued speaking with her knees on the floor and her head bowed. “She alone shall truly glorify the name of the God Elkiel.” The Emperor, who had relied entirely on the Saintess’s oracles for as long as…

Chapter 32. Problem Child Production (4) “It really is a cave.” Yerim’s mouth fell open as she stared at the cave. Of course, it wasn’t the deep, mysterious kind of cave she had seen in books or on TV, but it was a perfect place to escape the cold and wind. Yerim gave Eunho a thumbs-up. Eunho shrugged, seemingly not displeased by the compliment. The two entered the cave. She had been a little frightened earlier because it was her first time being stranded, but now that they had…-
