      TMKM 46 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 46   Their passion for him was moving beyond admiration and into outright worship. Some even reached out, wanting to hold his hand, but Nyx showed no intention of accepting them. Nyx had already heard all of their frantic claims while inside the room. He simply ignored them and continued forward. Only then were Jama and Milvian able to follow him along the path Nyx had cleared. “Please move aside.” “Hey, I said move.” Unlike the others, Nyx Paroa did not need to beg…

      TMKM 45 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 45   She bowed her head even deeper. For now, there was no other way to express her gratitude except to bow her head in thanks. Nyx could not see the tear marks on Tichite's face, but he noticed the tears thick in her voice. “Y-You’re crying?” He jumped toward her in panic like a dog whose tail had been stepped on. “But why are you crying when you said you were grateful?” There was nothing easy about this woman from beginning to end. Nyx could neither wipe away her…

      TMKM 44 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 44   Nyx turned his calm gaze toward Jama. The boy stood there with his hands clasped behind his back like a grown man. He had already shed the awkwardness of childhood and could imitate the mannerisms of a mature man, but his still-unripe face was dotted with pimples. “Jama.” When their eyes met, Nyx crooked a finger at him. Jama’s eyes grew round like a dog hearing its master call its name, and he obediently brought his face closer. Nyx gave a small laugh and touched…

      TMKM 43 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 43   The man, agitated, spat out words without filtering what should and shouldn't be said. The knights, unable to stand by any longer, rushed in to stop him. "Commander, there are many eyes watching." "Then you bastards who knew that just stood there watching?" "Ah, that... I'm sorry, Commander. But isn't this kind of thing happened often! Every time, you just let it slide leniently..." People loved to inflate rumors to suit their own tastes. Adding lewd embellishments and…

      TMKM 42 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 42   "What kind of nonsense is this? Let me go!" Tichite resisted with all her sincerity. But the crowd was already thoroughly immersed in the story, and even her rebellious movements were seen as just another element of the performance. "Do you remember my beautiful face that you desired? Come, take a look. Take a good look! See how grotesquely my face has changed—the one you ruined! Worms writhe and pus flows down like lava. This is your handiwork, Isanta!" The man grabbed…

      TMKM 41 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 41   “Isn’t growing into a plant the very purpose of a seed?” The old man answered while shaking his thin fist, looking as though he wanted nothing more than to pop a handful of roasted beans into his mouth right then and there. “But if that is the case, didn’t the Goddess make all kinds of seeds so delicious? And aren’t they wonderfully good for your health? The same goes for that emotion you said you wanted to forget. Don’t pretend it never happened and bury it in the…

      TMKM 40 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 40   “I had spent ten years isolated among men, and at some point, I became unable even to speak comfortably with women. Yet I had no intention of overcoming it emotionally. Instead, I shut myself inside the well I had created and focused only on avoiding situations where I might have to interact with women. I never created gatherings where women might come together, and I refused their invitations. After the servants of the castle, which originally belonged to my father, came under my…

      TMKM 39 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 39   I thought there was a strange tension between us. Every moment I exchanged words with her. This fragrant tension had to be something that naturally passed between a man and a woman. ‘Was everything just my imagination?’ Yes, that must have been it. The smile Tichite had shown him was clearly nothing more than the minimum courtesy one showed to someone above oneself. He had barely any experience even talking to young women, so he had foolishly allowed those feelings to get…
    • TMKM 38

      TMKM 38 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 38   “No matter what other humans outside Loudhill call me, I don't care. I can't control every single one of their mouths. But as for a sycophant who keeps calling me ‘Duke’ right to my face, Desidero is more than enough.” The Lord of Loudhill, Duke Pheroa. Wasn't that far too heavy a title for someone so young to carry? ‘…Though it's already been more than five years since I thought that.’ Nyx let out a self-mocking snort as he thought about how his age had…
    • TMKM 37

      TMKM 37 Cover
      by Ember heart — Chapter 37   “But perhaps these guys are a little lacking in caution. Or maybe they just didn’t know because it was a plant they had never seen before….” “The latter. I’ve never seen a grass like that either.” Jama could not accept the judgment that he was insensitive, so he insisted that such grass did not grow in Loudhill. Tichite thought he might be right. Just as she had seen a mountain demon for the first time, the plants growing in their homeland and those growing here…
