"Since when?" Edmund was in a difficult position. He was properly caught in the bomb that Odin had dropped and left behind. He wanted to fan his heated face while turning his head away. But it was hard to move as if his body was frozen by the scent of the person right beside him. At the moment, neither Odin nor Oberon was present. Odin, who had dropped the bomb, had fled saying he would come back later. Oberon had followed, perhaps unable…-

"Father, the rumors were true." "You must have seen wrong." "No. I saw it clearly with my own two eyes! How could I mistake them kissing right in front of me!" "But it doesn't make sense. How could His Highness kiss the daughter of the Odoi family in front of you?" "Mother!" Aria had been suffering all day after returning home. Worried about Aria's condition, the Duke and Duchess inquired through the coachman about where she had…

Edmund examined his neck. Feeling the soreness in various spots, he looked at Clea. "My neck hurts." "Isn't it better than your lips?" "Ha, you'll never say you won't bite, will you?" Looking at the marks on Edmund's neck, Clea smiled as if pleased. "I like these marks." The traces she had left seemed to announce who he belonged to. Clea quietly caressed Edmund's neck. Edmund briefly took her hand and brought it to his…

"So who did you say sent this?" Despite the sender being clearly written at the end of the letter, Elina asked Matilda. She asked who had sent the letter she was currently reading. To Elina's question, the head maid, Matilda, answered without a moment's hesitation. "It was sent by His Majesty the Emperor, who is in the capital." "So it really was sent by him." There was no need to confirm who had sent it in the first place. With the…

"So where is my daughter-in-law?" "Dear, shouldn't you greet me first after returning?" Odin looked at Elina, who had just returned and hadn't even changed her clothes. Despite her age, she was still beautiful. Even looking at Odin's gentle smile, Elina's expression remained dissatisfied. "That's not what's important right now." "It's the most important matter for you and me. If we're not careful, others might misunderstand our…

"Sigh." Edmund sat in his office, pondering. How he could find out what illness she suffered from. And how he could hear about it directly from her. Thinking about it, the Clea he had seen until now was utterly miserable. Though her expressions had certainly become more varied since meeting him, before that, she had only shown anger, sadness, and emptiness. And at the end, she had become completely expressionless, like someone who had given up on…

"Have you all heard the news?" "You mean that news?" "I heard Her Majesty the Empress rushed back to the imperial palace because of that rumor." "Oh my, is that true?" "......" Aria found the current topic of conversation very uncomfortable. She had already experienced an unpleasant incident recently. All along, she believed without a doubt that she would marry Edmund. There had been no one beside Edmund except her. She…

"I don't understand why they're interfering so much." "They're probably doing it out of concern." "What concern? If I had gone out alone, they would have asked why I bothered to get permission." They were on their way back from asking Odin and Elina for permission to go out for some fresh air. The process of getting permission wasn't actually a problem. The two had readily granted permission for Clea's sake. However, the issue lay…

Clea lost her words for a moment after hearing Edmund's answer. 'Since when have you been aware?' He knew that she was hiding something. After all, she hadn't told him where she was hurting. But his question meant more than just health issues. Clea was surprised by the question that seemed to know something was troubling her mind. Judging by the way he asked, he probably hadn't heard anything from Oberon. 'Then perhaps my behavior was…

"......You still say that even after knowing my secret?" "I don't see how your secret changes anything." "But you heard it." Clea had been uncomfortable telling Edmund about the curse. Honestly, she was afraid that he might change after learning she was terminal. However, the bewilderment that had been on Edmund's face when he first heard the news had completely disappeared. He spoke to her gently as if nothing had happened, smiling at the corners…

Lloyd kept an eye out. Judging by the quiet atmosphere in the house, it seemed the Grand Duke and his wife were away. But thinking he couldn't be certain yet, he ordered through the door. "Call the butler." "You mustn't do this." Despite merely ordering the butler to be called, the voice from outside the door was stern. He felt a sudden surge of irritation. He wasn't even asking for the door to be opened. What problem could there…

Even after returning to the imperial palace, the two didn't separate. Clea's room was decorated darkly. It was prepared to both block the view from others and create a romantic atmosphere inside. Clea and Edmund were amazed at how perceptive the servants were, but before long, their amazement turned to gratitude. Matching the room's atmosphere, the mood between the two also changed pleasantly. The first thing that caught Clea's eye was the luxurious…

The atmosphere at the Hersher family's dining table was subdued. This was because Aria, their flower and hope, didn't look happy. The Duke and his wife were very curious about what Aria had experienced outside. Until she left to play with friends, she had been forcing a smile. But now she looked completely dark. While the two were quietly observing Aria's mood, new information arrived. "Duke, the young grand duke has come to see the…

In her current memory, though the monster subjugation was over 4 years ago, to her twenty-two-year-old self, it was just a year ago. Her voice lowered and became urgent. At the same time, Benedict and Walter also guessed what was happening. Benedict mounted his horse and extended his hand to Rudy, who took it without hesitation and climbed onto his horse. "Walter, move out." "Yes sir!" Rudbeckia quickly gathered her long hair into one bundle and tucked it inside her torn robe. Benedict…-

"Please take your time eating." "No, I'm finished." Rudbeckia, feeling rushed, put down her spoon and cleaned up her place. Irene handed water to her hurrying friend while asking Benedict. "Do we need to ride long today too?" "We'll need to ride longer than yesterday." "What about meals?" "We'll have to eat on the road. If we're lucky, we might find a restaurant." Benedict looked at Irene, seemingly asking if she had any more questions. Irene shook her head and turned to ask…

"Um." Benedict, who had been focusing only on Rudy, caught her voice even in the chaotic situation. She carefully looked up at him. Benedict almost habitually narrowed his brows but, recognizing it could cause misunderstanding, put strength in his eyes instead. Rudbeckia, holding him in her gaze, asked. "What should I call you?" "Benedict." He stated his name without hesitation. He meant for her to call him by name, just like calling other knights. While it might have seemed like a…

Hugo was already backing away while whining. Rudy immediately took out two 500 dong coins and put them in Hugo's pocket. "Hugo and Derek, go eat a lot outside. I'll handle this well." "Thank you." "Thank you, Miss!" "Please bring two more chairs." Rudbeckia scratched between her eyebrows as she heard both the knights' thanks and Irene's request for chairs simultaneously. And so they joined the meal with Benedict, Aaron, and Idris, the three of them. The sight of imperial and noble heirs…

"Could I speak with you two privately?" "Hmm. If it's about spiritual power, you can just ask here?" Irene shrugged as she replied. Those few born with spiritual power and healing abilities often heard certain questions to the point of tedium. "As you know, we don't exactly know how we're able to heal." "Is that true?" Irene answered a question Raziel hadn't even asked yet, and his eyebrows immediately drooped. Rudy also nodded with a sympathetic expression. Among priests, some could heal…

02 It was a midsummer day, less than two weeks since Rudbeckia had traveled back in time. Six men — Benedict who had left the Capital, four knights, and a priest — waited under a tree for Rudbeckia and Irene. As the appointed meeting time approached, the knights' heads drooped lower and their chatter increased. Among them, the youngest priest, Raziel, quietly drank water while listening to the knights' conversation. His composed personality, along with his gray hair and eyes, made him appear…

1. An Uncertain, Deliberate Rendezvous This year's research budget has been cut to 50 percent of last year's. I immediately rushed to the Ministry of Interior, grinding my teeth as I demanded, "What's going on here? You shouldn't be doing this. Never mind, where's the Minister of the Interior?" The Minister of Interior responded with composure. "I understand Lady Evelyn's feelings, but this is His Majesty's decision. Why don't you go and take it up with His Majesty directly?" Hearing this, I…-

Children who had been told they had talent in swordsmanship from a young age all came from wealthy families. These children, who received consistent training from good teachers, grew up competing with peers of similar levels and built up their skills. Those who made swordsmanship their profession undoubtedly followed the elite course of becoming Imperial Knights and secured their positions. "What could he be thinking?" "Right. Has he found something to believe in?" Walter, captain of the Third…

As soon as she returned to her room, Chloe's legs gave out weakly. She slid down against the door and finally collapsed. A feeling of suffocation overwhelmed her. Chloe clutched her throat, gasping. The more she tried to breathe, the more rapid her breathing became. Clear liquid poured from her eyes, nose, and mouth. Only when she was too exhausted to even try breathing did her body finally find peace. '...How could this happen.' She couldn't forget. The man's face as he spoke of love…-

Stepping down from the carriage while holding her knight's hand, Rudbeckia responded playfully. "Why? If I don't marry, you get to see me forever, isn't that good?" "Hah. Thank you for your work. Return safely." After greeting the private carriage's driver, Hugo surveyed the mansion without even looking at his miss. "Hmm." Hugo suddenly exhaled shortly, his eyes slowly narrowing. As they passed the guards at the entrance and went inside, his senses grew sharper. Rudbeckia walked slowly…

May hurriedly grabbed Rudy's arm while greeting louder than usual. Not only was she trembling insufficiently for whatever reprimand might come, but her junior wasn't even greeting, making her anxious. "Rudy, Rudy." Only after May called her did Rudbeckia slowly grasp the hem of her robe. Her silver hair flowed through the gaps of her carelessly worn hood. "I greet Your Highness the Prince." "What brings you here, Lady Diaz?" "I came for business." "Your guard?" "The guard is behind the…

Friedrich raised his head while pressing his temple with a very complicated expression. He spoke in a subdued voice after being lost in thought. "Regardless of everything else, don't give away your life just because you feel sorry for someone. To your father, your time is more precious than any life." Rudbeckia lowered her eyes and touched her nape. "...Yes. I'm sorry, Father." "Never do that again, for anyone." Friedrich looked at his daughter with worried eyes, his concern sounding like a…

Even while mentioning his own death, Benedict remained calm, and she, knowing that would indeed happen, briefly bit her lip. Rudbeckia quietly met his eyes. "Now that you know what that medicine is, let me ask you. How much would you pay for it?" If properly priced, that small amount of spiritual power would probably be worth more than this store building. In short, it was a medicine that was impossible to buy even if you wanted to. Therefore, she believed Benedict, who lived in constant danger…

"Rudy, should we move up our opening time? If rich people like this come in the morning, I could wake up early every day." Near closing time, Irene was delighted checking the sales record of her half-brother's purchase. Internal medicine was the most expensive among healing products, and he bought three bottles. Since that meant he was in that much pain, Rudbeckia shook her head, containing her wishes. "No. That customer won't come again." "Really? Well, it's true that medicine you don't need…

After leaving the small shop, Benedict entered the alley visible before him. Walking with an expressionless face, he suddenly leaned against the red brick wall and closed his eyes deeply. Unconsciously clenching his fist while thinking about what had just happened to him, he opened his eyes again to look at the small vial she had given him. In the early dawn, after sword training, Benedict often patrolled the capital and walked through the alley of Irene and Rudbeckia's shop. It was exactly like a…

Her entire body froze when she spotted the man standing in front of the shop. Benedict von Seneber Lorkan. Her former husband and the emperor's brother who would soon stage a coup had come here. "...Welcome." Although Rudbeckia was so stunned she doubted whether she had greeted him properly, she still stared intently at her husband's face, whom she was seeing again after three and a half years. Naturally, he hadn't changed from how she last remembered him. Still young, still radiant. The man…

01 A groan naturally slipped from between Rudbeckia's lips. Oh my. Her whole body tingled. Both arms, both legs. Even when she straightened her back, a sharp scream burst out involuntarily. "Ah!" And she was the most surprised by that sound. Her voice came out, and her body hurt. In front of her eyes, she saw her fingers and the hem of her skirt. Startled, Rudbeckia inhaled and felt her shoulders rise, then touched her shoulders. "Huh?" Huh? I'm moving? What is this? Why am I…

In a space several times larger than her own body, Chloe sits alone. The carriage feels unfamiliarly strange. It’s hard to believe she frequently rode in it during her childhood. Yet the scenery beyond the window is utterly familiar, despite not having seen it for a very long time. The faint sound of horses neighing stimulated her hearing. The dust storm created by the friction of the wheels' filled the space beyond the glass. It was evidence that the carriage was slowing down. "We have…

"Since His Grace the Duke has permitted it, there should be no problem." Helena, not being completely foolish, noticed Chloe's malice. "I spoke as I normally do. If you need a simpler explanation, don't be shy to ask." At first, Chloe had maintained proper etiquette with Helena because of the lingering guilt she felt towards her, But now that even that slight emotion has faded. A Duchess had no need for courtesy towards a mere mistress. "Enough!" Helena, having been ignored twice, finally…

When Chloe questioned the royal family about the details of the political marriage, they simply responded that they didn't know. Only then did she realize that Calis's proposal had been a complete lie. The royal family, belatedly confessing the truth, asked for understanding of their position. When she inquired about his lover, the royal family again maintained they hadn't known. Chloe had no way to argue against the royal family who had acted without malicious intent. While time would eventually…

Bored. Rudbeckia, with a doll-like face, lay there truly like a doll. It has already been 3 years and 5 months since her whole body became stiff, and 3 years and half a year since she became the Empress. 'Who will come first today?' Unable to open her eyes, she consciously thought. And she recalled. Her father and brother, who visit at least once a week. Irene, a friend and her husband's half-sister, who comes by every other day without getting married, chattering away. And her husband, Benedict,…

A tranquil room where only the sound of breathing could be heard. In such a boring place, Chloe stared blankly outside. Outside, a snowstorm was raging. It was different from the occasional snow of her hometown during winter. The northern snowstorm was fierce enough to freeze a person instantly. 'Will he be okay?' Chloe, who was gazing at the picturesque scenery, suddenly thought of someone. Her husband, who was strong enough to be unfazed by such a disaster. It had been more than ten days…

He steadied his rough breathing. His breaths echoed in the silence-filled dining room. The Duke pointed his finger at me as if to poke my eyes out and sternly commanded. "Get out immediately." "......" "It seems you don't understand even when I tell you that you're not meant to be here." "......" "Since you seem too dull to remember, I'll say it again. You should exist here as if you don't, without making even a sound, like a dead mouse." His violet eyes were filled with contempt. Next…-

It was truly different from the original. "Honestly, I don't have a reason to refuse. As you can see, I’m being treated like this." "I can see that all too well, and it's very unpleasant." "If I were to go with you, could I stay a few more days?" I asked. Isaac snorted as if he understood. "Is there something you want to do?" "Hahaha." "......If it's your decision. So, can I take it as acceptance?" I added solemnly. "I'd like to meet one more person for the last…

Isn't that right? I let out a small laugh. As I tightened my grip on Saren's frail wrist, her skin turned pale. Luckily, I'm not that weak. I was worried because she was so skinny, but Saren, being a typical lady, had a body with no muscles to be found. I was secretly relieved. I whispered quietly, but coldly. "Don't underestimate people. Even a dog bites when ignored, so how can you treat another person like this? Sister." "Why am I your sister!" "That's true. Then I guess I'll just call…

Prologue "Shunen." A clumsily arranged bouquet was thrust in front of me. It looked as if it had been hastily pulled from the ground. Oh dear. I sighed briefly and looked at the owner of the hand. Everyone in the room turned their gaze to him. "I saw flowers blooming in the garden. So I thought I'd bring some." "Oh, really... But you said flowers were blooming in the garden?" "Yes." Except for his white skin and red eyes, the man dressed entirely in black, with lightly tied black…
