Chapter 14 — The Angel and the Saint Leo opened and closed his mouth in shock. “But how, how could you possibly…?” “Then why don't you tell this angel what happened? What exactly happened to you?” I stared straight at Leo with a faint smile. After hesitating for a moment, Leo let out a deep sigh and slowly began to explain. “…Today was the special swordsmanship sparring session with Hedius that takes place once a month.” “Special swordsmanship sparring?” “During…-

Chapter 13 — The Shadow Bandits' Revenge Five years ago. Viscount Chester was a man who cared about nothing but satisfying his own selfish desires with the money he earned from his territory. As a result, the territory's treasury quickly ran dry, and rather than being able to pay the amount of taxes he demanded, the residents were barely able to make ends meet. They regularly went hungry, and even with battered and exhausted bodies, they were forced to go out into the fields and work every…

Chapter 12 — The Flower Crown The next day. Still half-asleep, I glanced at the desk clock and realized it was already well past lunchtime. Apparently, I had overslept because of what happened the night before. I didn't wake up until I had been lying there for so long that my back was starting to ache. I stretched, then clutched my stomach as it let out a loud growl. “Ugh… I'm hungry. I wonder if there's any food left.” Hoping desperately that the food hadn't run out, I stepped…

Chapter 11 — The Goat Hero Story “Just as the Chief saw. That woman is definitely crazy. I think I can understand why she ended up in the Black Forest.” Everyone fell silent in agreement. All the suspicions they had been seriously discussing just moments ago vanished in an instant. At that moment, they were all convinced. That was when Ibi suddenly blurted out, “Ah, shit!” And dashed off at lightning speed. “Let’s follow her.” “Yes, sir!” The bandits quietly…

Chapter 10 “…Hmm.” Baron let out a quiet sigh and adjusted his monocle. Now that Ibi had left. Although he was puzzled by Hedius’s statement that she had not been trying to kidnap Leo, Ibi’s words were not entirely without merit. This was a world where even innocent children were mercilessly abandoned if they were deemed a burden to their families’ livelihoods. So how much worse must it have been for someone like Ibi? Moreover, judging by her refined appearance, she might…

Chapter 9 “I don’t want to.” Ibi answered immediately with a carefree smile, as though she had not even considered the matter. Hedius's eyebrow twitched. “If you are worried that I haven't withdrawn my suspicions, then it no longer matters to me who you are or where you came from. But there is nothing to be gained by you staying here when you aren't even a bandit. As you know, this is also a village filled with people who make their living as bandits…” “But that's okay! Everyone…

Chapter 8 Tanto flinched. Even though Leo was only ten years old, the ominous aura that spread whenever he was displeased was every bit as intimidating as Hedius's. At times like this, Leo could feel downright frightening. Moreover, if Leo had happened to have his sword with him in the forest, he probably could have subdued the black leopard with ease. “Hey… The Chief only did all that for your sake, Leo. You're still just a little kid who doesn't know anything.” Tanto tried to reason…

Chapter 7 “Ah, well, it was something I already knew to some extent.” I already knew that intruders who deliberately entered the Black Forest, a place said to be possessed by demons and cursed, never survived. ‘That’s why it came to be called the Cursed Forest in the first place, and it was also why Leo was abandoned here—to be killed.’ Even though Tanto was merely telling me something I already knew, his words felt unusually sharp, like thorns. Was Tanto deliberately trying to…

Chapter 6 “So, if you let the Angel live, I’ll obediently go back to the village.” Although Leo had called her a crazy woman with his own mouth, he still stubbornly continued to address her as “Angel.” Given the circumstances, Leo wasn't exactly wrong. Throwing herself in front of a black leopard to save a complete stranger’s child despite the risk of being attacked wasn't the kind of courage an ordinary person possessed. And at a glance, that woman didn't look like someone who had…

Chapter 5 The moment I saw him, my mind went blank for a moment. Hedius had an emotionless, stern-looking face, but I couldn't help being deeply impressed by his strikingly handsome appearance. ‘Well, I've never seen a man this handsome or beautiful in the world I came from.’ If I were to praise his appearance for a moment… His pitch-black hair, as dark as the night sky, was neatly swept back and gleamed under the sunlight. His sharp nose and smooth facial contours looked like a work of…
