Chapter 16 The man held the edge of his glove and hesitated for a long time before reluctantly pulling it down. He dragged it off with painfully slow movements, then finally removed only the glove from his left hand. Even then, he immediately covered the bare hand with the palm of his other hand. It was hard to tell whether he intended to be examined or not. “His Grace is simply not used to showing his bare skin, so please do not find his behavior too strange.” Desidero spoke for…-

Chapter 15 Desidero clicked his tongue and gestured toward Freed. The man approached and pushed his chair, making its small rear wheels roll forward with a soft rumble. It was the first time Lanram had actually seen the chair in motion. The chair stopped in front of the door where the Duke had disappeared. The servant gave a perfunctory knock before pushing Desidero inside. It looked exactly like someone chasing a cat that had run away from its bathwater. Muffled voices came from behind…

Chapter 14 As expected, he was not Duke Faloa himself. But there was no doubt that this man was the reason Lanram had been brought all the way here. Nyx Faloa, the man with the scarred face. As Lanram nervously fidgeted with her fingers, the rumors she had heard about him at the tavern flashed through her mind. Half of his face had supposedly melted. His skin was said to hang in tatters. His body was supposedly missing a part that had simply fallen away. “I heard that you have…

Chapter 13 To someone who had practically been dragged here against her will, Kanne casually started a conversation, as if he had never threatened her in the first place. “There's an unusually large number of locals there. Is the liquor any good? I mean the Pearl Oyster Tavern.” “The taste is just average… though it is cheap.” “How is it as a place to stay? Though, to be honest, we already unpacked our luggage there quite a while ago. Do you know a place called ‘The…

Chapter 12 Nirgi spoke. Instead of explaining the situation to his younger sister first, he was too busy bowing and scraping before the man beside him, reporting something to him as if he were making a formal statement. Naturally, Lanram's gaze shifted toward that man as well. In fact, he was another person who had left Lanram completely shocked. "Hello, pretty blonde. And..." The man greeted Sera with his usual fresh, charming smile. That handsome smile was then turned toward Lanram as…

Chapter 11 Crash-! With his heart feeling like it was being squeezed dry, the man clenched the glass rose in his hand. There was no reason to hesitate over something he had no desire to give and no one he wanted to receive it from. The people were startled and leaned back hard against their seats. Even the Pig Princess and Abigail, who had been watching, let out sharp screams. The delicate and beautiful glasswork was crushed into pieces inside the man's fist. It scattered into the air as meaningless…

Chapter 10 ‘That man is Nick Paroa. Iron Horse Duke Nick Paroa.’ If he won, he would gain an enormous amount of fame. Even if he lost, his opponent was not someone who would bring him much shame. That was why he had chosen him in the first place. He wanted to use Nick as a stepping stone to restore his tarnished honor. ‘If things go badly, stab the horse’s neck again.’ The prince had whispered those words to Xylus before the match began. It was supposed to be a last…

Chapter 9 The prince’s lips stiffened, and his hand trembled slightly. Through the narrow slit in his helmet, his cold eyes glinted sharply. ‘…When the hell is this bastard going to stop growing?’ His disgusting cousin was yet another head taller than the last time he had seen him. That was one of the things about the man that constantly irritated the Pig Prince. Instead of craning his neck to look at Paroa’s face, the prince merely raised his eyes. Not lifting his head was…

Chapter 8 “So when that Garding Knight used the mountain horse as an excuse, you must have thought, ‘There it is.’” The Jeroli Crown Prince must have been holding quite a grudge over being refused. The man snorted as if the prince’s petty intentions were painfully obvious. Hearing that, Chyroneia blamed himself. “Then it really was because of me. If only I had handled it more wisely….” “It’s not your fault, Chyro.” “Maybe I could have turned sooner and…

Chapter 7 “What if you lose?” “If I lose….” Lanram, who had remained silent as if she had no mouth at all, suddenly asked the question. The man continued with an interested look on his face. “I’ll give today’s glass rose to you. No matter which of those two wins, I’ll be the champion anyway.” The man looked at the horses returning to their starting positions. Whether it was confidence based on solid grounds or just empty boasting, his attitude was certainly worthy of a…
