Chapter 43 There was no point in trying to seduce him. It was already too late. Aiden's expression had hardened. There wasn't even the slightest hint of affection for me in his serious gaze. That must be how he really feels. Judging from our previous conversations, Aiden had misunderstood. He probably thought the reason I had worked so hard to come in first was because I wanted to break off my engagement with him. Of course, since it had been a political marriage, there probably hadn't…-

Chapter 42 The black book floating in midair clearly displayed the number 97%. Apparently, we had removed about one percent of the contents. Flutter, flutter! The black book opened by itself. A purplish-black smoke poured out from the blank pages and gradually took human form. At the same time, there was a loud BANG! The door slammed shut. When I turned around, I was in a difficult situation. Aiden was gone. The only ones inside the secret room now were Chief Priest Geyond and…

Chapter 41 “You asked me to bring the two of them here immediately… I’ll show you the way.” It seemed to be news of a death. But there was something strange about the priest’s demeanor. Chief Priest Geyond might have held a fairly high position within the monastery, but still… My head tilted instinctively. Was news of his mother’s death really something that would make a priest this frantic? The place we were led to was not the monastery’s infirmary. Nor was it another…

Chapter 40 Chief Priest Geyond answered calmly. “What do you mean?” “Your atmosphere is different from usual.” At High Priest Faker's words, Chief Priest Geyond stopped lying. “…You noticed.” At the same time, he picked up the cushion lying at the side of the bed. “I didn't even look for the hamster. Naturally, there was no reason for me to demand compensation from its owner either.” “What… are you talking about?” “As it turns out, you were the one who…

Chapter 39 If I inhaled water, I would instinctively struggle and have no choice but to swim back to the surface. I should just tell him to let me breathe quickly and start again. That was what I had decided when I realized that the situation was different from what I had expected. Instead of water rushing frantically into my lungs, I could breathe comfortably. Unable to believe it, I opened my eyes. Strangely enough, my vision was clear and comfortable. River water tinged with a faint golden…

Chapter 38 Aiden and I immediately opened the window. 「Did you call for me?!」 The one that flew in with an excited voice was the hummingbird, its body shimmering with a golden glow. Apparently, Mr. Dote had completely possessed the hummingbird, and whenever he was summoned, his consciousness would appear through it. The hummingbird flew around the room before settling on Emily’s bedding. 「Emily?」 It tilted its head from side to side as it examined Emily’s face before…

Chapter 37 After briefly exchanging introductions, Emily took a deep breath at my question and gave a hollow laugh. “What favor did my son ask of you?” “Not Chief Priest Geyond. I mean Dote from fifty years ago.” For a moment, a multitude of emotions appeared in Emily’s eyes. “…Who are you talking about?” “Well… I don’t know where to begin. Dote asked us to find you.” Emily’s eyelids trembled. Her dry lips twitched bitterly, and her brow twisted. The uncertainty…

Chapter 36 Aiden’s conclusion was that it was a kiss. The next stage after “seeing each other” was dating, and the two of them had already agreed to date. They had also held hands and embraced. Then, without a doubt, the next thing they were supposed to do was kiss. “…….” To be able to kiss those red, lovely lips. Just imagining it made Aiden’s heart begin to beat pleasantly. The various physical reactions that instinctively followed were troublesome, but regardless, this…

Chapter 35 Until recently, Hamjjik had resided within the Seashell Tower, granting people’s wishes. Well, he only listened to them. Many of the wishes were about becoming wealthy or passing an exam. But by far, the most common wishes were related to love. People wished to be united with someone, to have a child, and so on. Hamjjik had never really understood what people meant by love. The very concept of romantic relationships was unfamiliar to spirits in the first place. However,…

Chapter 34 “Ugh…… You brats. No matter how high your status may be, you can’t possibly imagine how much magic is imbued in this bathtub and holy water.” High Priest Faker lowered himself into the wooden bathtub, which was filled with pleasantly hot water. He repeatedly scooped up water with a wooden dipper and poured it over his head. Then he held his breath and submerged his entire body in the water. After a while, the wrinkles that had covered his body slowly began to…
