Chapter 3 “I thought we wouldn’t be able to catch her until that person joined the extermination force……” “Basilisk poison! Spit it here! This is the right guy!” “Exactly. There was someone here…… Oh my? This person……!” The woman examined Cain’s body and suddenly noticed the crest of the Bellaon family. She flinched in surprise. Then, as though she knew him personally, she brushed Cain’s hair aside and examined his face. She even opened his eyelids with her…-

Chapter 2 “They say that food made with this tastes like heaven. No matter how much you complain about the fishy smell or anything else, do you really think the lord, who can’t forget this taste, will take your side……” “So you’re the thief.” Luciela muttered in a low voice. “What?” “That belongs to me. To me and my mother.” Luciela pointed at the bottle Nigel was shaking. “Do you know how carefully I had to figure out the ingredient ratios just to make one…

Chapter 1 “177…… 178…… 179!” Luciela straightened her back after crouching on the kitchen floor. Just ten seconds of rest. “Huff…” She panted heavily as she looked at the enormous pile of potatoes she had prepared. Every potato, peeled until its surface was smooth and gleaming, looked plump and delicious. But all that came from Luciela’s mouth was a sigh. The number of potatoes she had peeled since morning was a whopping 179. Which meant she still had fifty more to…

Chapter 05 ... For someone as notoriously cautious as Basure to press the matter this strongly, there had to be more to it than just a birthday. Judite mentally checked his schedule for a moment. It was a Wednesday, which meant he had no other plans outside of his usual lesson with Basure. “Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for your family to have me crash a private party?” “Uncomfortable? Not in the slightest. We would be deeply honored if you could join us, Your Highness.” After a moment's…

Chapteer 04 ... “‘The first banquet will be hosted by His Highness Reginald, the second by His Highness Hiore, the third by His Highness Asil, and the fourth by His Highness Judite. If anyone has any objections, please speak now.’ Hiore looked clearly dissatisfied, likely feeling he had drawn an awkward date, but he didn't dare raise an objection to the Emperor, who was making a rare public appearance. As a prolonged silence fell over the princes, the attendant turned around to seek the Emperor's…

Chapter 03 ... “‘A diplomatic delegation from that country will be staying here for four days.’ ‘Each prince will be assigned one day to host a banquet for them. You need to make yours a success.’ ‘May I ask what the criteria for success is?’ ‘Hmm. How many princes are left now? Four?’ There were originally six royal children in the Imperial Family. However, with the First Prince and the Fourth Princess deceased, only four princes remained: the Second Prince, Reginald; the Third…

Chapter 02 ... “Haa……” Judite let out a low sigh as he sat up. Looking around, he noticed the furniture glowing golden in the morning light—dawn was breaking. The woman in his dream was his mother. A commoner who was just a maid, not even a noblewoman’s handmaiden. A tragic figure whose only crime was being beautiful enough to catch the Emperor’s eye. He wasn't sure if she had even wanted a child, but she had cherished young Judite deeply. It was no easy task for a woman with no backing…

Chapter 01 ... Prologue It was a bleak night. The moon and stars had completely hidden themselves, leaving the imperial palace wrapped in far deeper shadows than usual. A long shadow stretched out before the residence of the 5th Prince. ‘No guards… missing entirely.’ Khalid clicked his tongue inwardly. Sure, his influence had dwindled, but he was still an Imperial Prince. Being this defenseless, it was a total miracle he’d survived this long. Khalid reached into his coat, pulled out a sleeping…

Chapter 32 Even if her father, Duke Rydel, found out about this, there was nothing he could do. If he caused a fuss trying to collect the money and the customs office happened to notice it, he could be fined dozens of times the amount simply for attempting tax evasion. So he would probably harass only the broker who handled the sale, but Pesha had already given the broker a generous commission as compensation. Even if the broker complained for now, once the money was deposited, he would…-

Chapter 31 Standing with her arms crossed and her back to the harsh autumn sunlight, Pesha was next to her maid, Mini, who was holding a parasol and fidgeting anxiously. “Ma’am. Your skin will get damaged if you keep doing this. Why are you watching the construction site, anyway?” “I’m not watching it. I’m thinking.” “Just look at how pale the construction supervisor’s face is. If you keep standing here, those people won’t be able to work properly.” Pesha…
