Chapter 7 Liziana was confused as she looked at Ian lying on the floor. The man who had been acting as though he could devour her only moments ago was now rolling around on the floor, clutching his heart. He groaned in obvious agony, gripping his chest as if he were trying to tear it open. The sun-shaped mark on the back of his neck, which Liziana had not even known was there, began to glow bright red through his hair. His eyes, twisted in pain, also glowed red. “What on…-

Chapter 6 “Your Grace! How could you, of all people, make such a mistake when you have never made one before?!” The moment Ian came out of the underground dungeon, Harhin began berating him. Harhin’s voice echoed loudly through the corridor. Ian frowned at the ear-piercing sound of Harhin’s voice. “Harhin.” At his irritated call, Harhin immediately shut the mouth he had opened to scold him. Liziana had clearly called Ian “Duke” earlier. It seemed that she…

Chapter 5 “Ugh…” Liziana’s body, accustomed to doing nothing but sitting in the imperial palace and handling paperwork every day, was far too weak to endure teleportation magic. She felt as though everything in her stomach was about to come back up. It was a horrible experience, as if her soul itself were trying to leap out of her body. Ian caught the dizzy Liziana with his strong, muscular arms. Even while her mind was still hazy, Liziana looked at Ian with…

Chapter 4 ‘This life will be different.’ Liziana thought back to the past—the life she had lived before. The days she had spent confined like a doll by her own father, Duke Filorencia, and the way she had been forced to receive an imperial education before being pushed into becoming Crown Prince Raiphin’s partner. And how, blinded by the first attention she had ever received from another person, she had willingly made herself the “Imperial Dog.” Not for a single moment…

Chapter 3 By the time the sun had set and night had fallen, the light from the magnificent chandeliers softly illuminated the ballroom. The ball was filled with nobles, making it rather lively. The cheerful banquet, filled with the clinking of glasses and the sound of music, seemed to announce the beginning of autumn. And among them sat Liziana alone, dignified despite having a higher status than any of the nobles present. She looked around the ballroom with a bored expression. No…

Chapter 2 A brief silence fell between Liziana and Raiphin. “Very well. If that's what you want.” Raiphin stood first, slipped on his robe, and ran a hand through his blue hair, which shimmered in the sunlight. Liziana had once fallen in love with that very sight. But now, all she saw when she looked at Raiphin was the traitor who had cut her down. Nothing more. Nothing less. “Would you like to have breakfast together?” “No.” Liziana had always agreed to…

Chapter 1 “Are you trying to make a joke out of me right now?” It was late at night, and a cold wind swept through the temple. A disrespectful shout rang out before the statue of Goddess Laura, the deity who protected the Empire. The owner of that voice was none other than Liziana de Filorencia, Crown Princess of the Avid Empire and a woman infamous as the greatest villainess of her time. “Deposed? Wasn't it the Crown Prince who brought me into the Imperial Palace?” “The…

Chapter 20 And on the back of the ledger— “Is this perhaps one of Cheonseong’s warehouses?” A red seal had been stamped there. It was unmistakably the seal of the Cheonseong Merchant Guild. Lord Wang’s face went pale. “W-Where did you get that…?!” Where else? Thanks to Seoheon causing a commotion and drawing everyone’s attention, it had been easy enough to obtain. The evidence she had asked the animals to find over the past few days. Instead of answering, Soa…-

Chapter 19 Seoheon’s brows furrowed. A place beyond the watchful eyes of the authorities. A poison born from poverty and anxiety was flourishing there. Seoheon quietly surveyed the place. A side of the Ink King’s Residence that lay beyond his reach. The gaze behind his mask slowly darkened. 【You intend to find a talented person for the merchant guild here?】 Seoheon’s voice rang out softly. Instead of answering, Soa pointed farther inside. There was a large table…

Chapter 18 The heavy sack sank to the bottom of the pond in an instant. “We should probably wait at least the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.” The Assistant Merchant Master knew very well how resistant straw was to water. For a short while, perhaps. But after that long, water would inevitably seep through the gaps in the straw. By the time they pulled the sack out, the salt should have dissolved and become lighter. “Whether it’s that long or even longer, please wait as long…
