    • by Ember heart — Chapter 3 “Actually, I had been thinking about it for some time. One is opening the borders. The other is becoming a vassal state of the Empire.” Lea looked at Aren with surprised eyes. Lea had already been wondering how she should persuade Aren. The solution Aren had been thinking about was the same as the best choice Lea had reached after debating with the King of Nortia. “You had been thinking about it already?” “Yes. But there was strong opposition. If I had made it public, I…
    • by Ember heart — Chapter 02 Deep in the night, Lea quietly opened the door to her bedroom. A middle-aged man with gray hair, who had been waiting in front of the door, bowed his head. He was Kasim, the Captain of the Royal Guard. Lea and Kasim quietly left the corridor. Thanks to Kasim knowing the guards' patrol routes by heart, they headed toward the sanctuary deep inside the royal castle without being noticed by anyone. “We will watch from here.” Lea settled down in a secluded spot where she could see…
    • by Ember heart — Chapter 01 That day, when she was twenty. Lea spent the whole day in the stable, delighted by the birth of twin foals. She happily wondered what names she should give them, and eventually fell asleep. Then, deep in the night, she opened her eyes when her nurse urgently shook her awake. “Princess, you have to get up.” With a pale, frightened face, the nurse hurriedly dressed Lea. After running as if they were escaping, they arrived at the entrance of a secret underground passage. There,…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 9 ―Ajin-nim. Whenever I rode in Rayleigh’s car, I had control over the background music selection. In other words, the basic Bluetooth device connected to his car was my phone. Thanks to that, when I pressed the call button, Rayleigh’s voice came through the car audio. I minimized the call screen and continued searching while sincerely pleading with him. “Please don’t tell me that a gate opened, or a portal opened, or creatures are pouring out.” ―Then, instead, I will answer…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 8 “Why am I hanging around with you?” “You will be spending time with me. Since you have already eaten, shall we go to a café first? You said you would normally spend time with me starting in the evening, so I announced that the dessert shop would be open in the evening as well. I finished preparing the baking in advance before coming out.” “Can you even run a shop like that……?” In the end, I had no choice but to start walking, pushed along by his gesture. But since I had…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 7 I felt awful. If you ask why I felt awful, it was simply because I felt awful. After ending my not-quite-a-date with Rayleigh Kraha at dawn in a completely messed-up mood, I came back to my apartment, slept for a while, and woke up feeling even more like shit. “You’re saying you’ve been feeling like shit lately? The things that are feeling the shittiest these days are your internal organs and your doctor’s mood.” Dr. Jung Si-hoon answered while looking over my blood test…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 6 “Hey, you just had a rude thought, didn’t you?” “Would I really do that?” “Then what were you thinking?” When I coldly pressed him for an answer, Reilly lowered his gaze without saying anything. Then he took hold of each of my wrists and raised them up before asking another question. “Did you eat dinner before going to sleep?” “Why are you suddenly asking me that?” “Did you eat?” “I stayed up all night for several days and then passed out from…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 4 For the first time in a long while, it became a weekend without assignments or deadlines. After melting into my tiny rented apartment and sleeping for a good while, my mind finally became a little clearer. The date had already changed to early Saturday morning. Since I had woken up anyway and it was already dawn, I thought about having a drink to enjoy the mood, but unexpectedly, the first thing I did was call Railey. Calling a man as soon as I had some free time... Even I never thought my…

      by Ember heart — Chapter 3 Honestly, I am not a person with many lovable qualities. Even I had to admit that myself. Of course, that did not mean I was the kind of person who would kneel down and say, “Thank you for loving me.” Rather, I was the twisted sort of person who thought, ‘I don't think I'm worth that much, so I need to cut open the belly of this bastard who says he loves me and see what he's really thinking because I can't trust him.’ Then, did I have the strength to cut open Railly Kraha's…
