      ICSM 23 Cover
      by Ember heart — ‘Chapter 23 I’m such an idiot. Seriously.’ I laughed at myself because it was so ridiculous. It was absurd that I was still being held back by something from a life that no longer existed, involving someone who didn’t even exist in my current life. I had thought that because we had broken off the engagement, because time had passed, because he was gone… Pedro meant nothing to me anymore. Even after discovering that he had actually deceived me, the things he had trampled over and…

      ICSM 22 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 22   In an instant, only my older brother, Ray, and I were left standing at the entrance of the mansion. “Ahem. Please forgive us for not being able to receive you properly. We had no notice of your sudden visit.” Even my brother sounded a little reproachful, perhaps because he had been caught off guard. Then he glanced at me, as if asking with his eyes whether I had invited Ray. Since I was just as innocent in this matter, I quietly shook my head and asked Ray, “I was…

      ICSM 21 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 21   Although it was a humiliating position, at least it was better than going insane. This wasn't just something people said—those with weak mental fortitude really could lose their minds. ‘They said Viscount Sachsen ended up like that...’ I had heard that his mind came and went like dementia, with moments when he was lucid and others when he wasn't. He was an annoying man who had interfered with my family trip, but I had never wished for him to be ruined to that…

      ICSM 19 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 19   Ray's voice grew faint at the end, and the lonely expression on his face was unrealistically beautiful. Was that what a baby angel in a stained-glass window looked like? Honestly, I was a little dazed. Maybe it was because he was so pretty, but I couldn't help feeling even more concerned about him. ‘How could his guards do something like that?’ What could they possibly gain by committing such a reckless act...? ‘Huh?’ While grumbling about those despicable…

      ICSM 18 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 18   ‘If I’m being ignored because I only sent letters, then I can just go there myself, right?’ If he became the messenger himself, he could watch the letter being received right away and get an answer immediately. He had wasted so much time by foolishly making other people do something that was this simple and easy. ‘If I’m lucky, I might even get to see Seiana that day.’ Once he had made up his mind, there was nothing stopping him. He wanted to go to the…

      ICSM 17 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 17   “Rubi. Don’t you want to go study abroad?” “All of a sudden? No, I… I’m only ten years old, you know?” Even admission to a domestic academy was at the age of twelve, so studying abroad at ten? I could not hide my trembling eyes. Really? Were they really trying to send me to another country because I was interested in a boy? Fortunately, the matter of studying abroad seemed to fade away after I looked so bewildered that they were beyond embarrassed. Unlike my…

      ICSM 16 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 16   In the end, the trip came to an end. For some reason, everyone suddenly became restless and kept telling me that we should hurry back to our territory. I found it strange, but I did not object because I was satisfied that once we returned to our territory, I would not have to face the unpleasant Saxen family. Since the trip was over, I thought Father and my older brothers would go back to work, but that was not the case either. Perhaps they planned to spend their vacation at…

      ICSM 15 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 15   To my surprise, when I opened my eyes again, a whole day had passed. I clearly felt like I had only slept for a short while, so I was completely shocked when I saw that it was already lunchtime the next day. Ena came running toward me in tears. “Miss!” She cried loudly, saying she was so glad I was safe that my ears started to hurt. Hearing the commotion, everyone in the household rushed into my room. “Ruby!” “Daughter!” Everyone had tears in their…

      ICSM 14 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 14 “Why……?” Before he could properly ask why, a guard rushed toward Raymund and thrust his sword at him. The moment Raymund was startled, his supernatural ability immediately reacted. Crack. The guard’s body twisted out of nowhere as if the cloth of his clothes had been crumpled. Judging by the sound of bones breaking, even if he was not dead, he must have been close to death. “Ha…….” Raymund was shocked. Even though the man had attacked him, this was the first…
