Chapter 19 “It is clearly a trick. I sense a strange energy coming from you, so please allow me to search your person.” “Tsk. What a waste of time.” When I carefully opened the door and peeked inside, I found Karahan with a murderous look in his eyes, while Ivan was glaring at him as though he were nothing more than a nuisance. “Wow, our big brother won again!” “As expected. His Highness is the strongest in the Empire—no, on the entire continent!” Around them were Athe,…-

Chapter 18 Oh… This feels extremely ominous. The man who always smiled as gently as an angel was suddenly wearing a sinister, almost bloodthirsty smile. I had a very bad feeling about this. Isn’t this exactly why your favorite is your favorite? You can recognize even the slightest change in them right away. Ivan’s smiles might all look the same at first glance, but there were subtle differences between them. And whenever he showed a smile like this one, in particular, it meant…

Chapter 17 “Shana, by any chance—” I was just about to properly ask her whether she knew anything about Pilth when— Boom! Crash, bang! A tremendous crashing sound came from outside, as though something had been smashed to pieces. The noise was so enormous that I couldn't help but wonder if a bomb had exploded in the building. Is someone fighting outside? “What was that sound?” “I’m not sure, but Duke Barat is outside, so I’m sure everything is fine.” Come to…

Chapter 16 So he knew her! I had assumed he recognized me because he so readily acted as though he did. Dumbfounded, I could only stare at him as Karahan spoke again. “The Saintess told me that an important guest would be coming.” “How did you know that important guest was me?” Karahan had never even shown his face near the Imperial Palace, let alone attended the victory celebration, so there was no way he could have known what I looked like. Of course, he must have heard about the…

Chapter 15 Ugh. That expression…! ‘There’s absolutely no way he’s going to answer me.’ Judging from the perfectly composed face he had put on for public appearances, it was obvious that even if I asked him something, he intended to brush it off with some plausible answer. It was disappointing, but regardless of who the other person was, getting into someone else’s past was never easy…. Maybe I would naturally come to know someday if we stayed together long enough. Ivan…

Chapter 14 Just as I was about to leave after confirming that everything had been neatly cleaned up, I sensed something wriggling beneath the thick bushes nearby. Its presence was too faint to be a magical beast, yet too light to be an ordinary animal. There was something strange about it. “Rine, stay back.” Before I could even say anything, Ivan, who seemed to have noticed it long before me, immediately drew his sword and pointed it toward the bushes. The moment Ivan grabbed my wrist and…

Chapter 13 It was good that we ended up going together somehow. It was good, but… ‘This is like carrying luggage… No, it’s worse than luggage!’ My arms and legs flailed about like those of a paper doll. That was because Ivan had easily picked me up with one arm and slung me over his shoulder. I hadn’t expected him to take me along gently in a situation like this, but still, this was a bit much… “Put me down. I can follow you on my own.” “No. You’re too slow.” I…

Chapter 12 After we gave the nobles a brief greeting from the platform, we went down to the hall on the first floor, and not long afterward, the Emperor appeared. Wearing a mask emblazoned with the golden lion that symbolized the Erzet imperial family, he raised a golden goblet high into the air and raised his voice. “The enemy has been defeated, and the glory of Lakis has reached the heavens. This is a sign announcing the immortality of our Empire, so rejoice, everyone!” In accordance with…

Chapter 11 I’m the Only One Who Knows the Male Lead Is the Villain A little while later, when we arrived at the reception room on the first floor, he spoke in a low voice. “You seem quite close if you came all the way here. Did the two of you know each other?” “No. I met him for the first time yesterday in the library. I came because I was worried when I saw that he was sick.” “I'd prefer it if you didn't meet Ate alone from now on.” Huh? Why was he suddenly telling me not to…

Chapter 10 I’m the Only One Who Knows the Male Lead Is the Villain “Oh, right. Sis, could you contact my family and ask them to send over the things in the laboratory in my room? It's rather inconvenient without the tools and materials I'm used to.” While I was taking the gifts I'd received from the Emperor to my bedroom and putting them away, I asked Sis to contact my family. It was nice that the laboratory here was spacious and comfortable, but the tools I was accustomed to using were…
