<Episode 162> Shaaah~ The sea breeze of Queen's Island blew. The wind, a perfect blend of the salty taste of seawater and the refreshing feeling of the ocean, was the greatest medium that brought back memories of Queen Island. Rue sat on the steep cliff, leaning against a small tombstone, gazing out at the sea. His flowing garments and slightly longer hair, covering the back of his neck, reminded me of the Rue from 14 years ago. Unlike Rue, I was dressed in ordinary…-

<Episode 164> “What do you mean by that?” In response to the question, I answered calmly. "I don't have much time left to live." "...What?" Count Rosebell’s face stiffened with shock. "I’m thinking about a month, give or take. When I die, I would like you to protect the identities of the employees affiliated with the Weatherwoods family. Please refrain from asking about their backgrounds or family details. They are people who have believed and followed…

<Episode 163> Raphael looked at me with a speechless expression, sighed, and settled on the sofa. “Well, your craziness isn’t a recent development, so it’s not that surprising. Looking back, you always had some sort of legitimate grounds and goals for it.” "Thank you for thinking that way." "There must be a good reason this time too, right? Don't think about trying to escape the effort and explain it properly.” Oh, that’s what he meant. According to…

<Episode 165> Confidence rose as never before, but I looked at the floor without getting excited. I could see my steps little by little, gradually moving forward, as if overwhelming the opponent.. ‘Something's not right. We're clearly fighting on equal terms, but the swordmaster keeps retreating.’ ...Could it be? ‘Is he trying to stall time?’ Five minutes later, the clock would go off and the guards would come rushing in to capture us. ‘I have…

<Episode 167> * * * Upon hearing what happened during the day, Skuld opened the back of the altar himself and handed me Dian Cecht’s diary and seal. "So, the researcher at Berkeley-Gratten said, 'An ego exists in the heart,' is that what you're saying?" "Yes." "Hmm, interesting." Nodding his head, Urd showed great interest. For the sake of me, a foreigner, he was sitting crouched in a wooden chair and was translating the contents of the diary…

<Episode 151> I didn’t know where Rue was leading us to. I looked at my mud-covered toe and replied, “I didn’t kill him. Although we ended up looking similar.” I didn’t add that I’d almost died, since Rue would be worried. "That is not a satisfactory answer." “So what if it’s not satisfactory? Boys grow up fighting and beating each other.” I’d lived a third of my life as a man, so let’s just say I was a man for some part of…

<Episode 152> My heart raced, and I could feel heat rushing to my face. Was it possible to make someone feel embarrassed by giving just one compliment? “Did I almost engrave that name on a cold tombstone once? It must be fate that I only got to know it now.” The sight of him solemnly muttering to himself without a trace of laughter tugged at my heart. To think he had given such a meaning to my old name. Leaning my forehead against Rue's shoulder, I…

<Episode 153> As if the new doubts weren’t enough, a person who was nothing if not the embodiment of suspicion itself has also appeared. A Duke personally came to greet me? And no one else but Duke Jurian Berkeley-Gratten? “Duke.” “Speak.” “Are you going to break into the dinner between his majesty and me without notice?” Haha. The swordmaster laughed dryly with a face that said he found the remark uninteresting. "Break into, you say. What…

<Episode 154> Count Rosebell and I both denied it almost simultaneously. "That's not true." "It's the opposite." Marquis Clapenweaver had a troubled expression, unsure which side to rebuke. Then he turned to Rosebell Count, not me. "Why do you object? You know very well that there is no other groom like Duke Raphael in the Empire, no, in the entire continent." "It doesn't have anything to do with him being the best groom or not. Isn't the Marquis being…

<Episode 155> I immediately quelled the questions that threatened to dominate my mind. This was a meeting with none other than the emperor himself. I could potentially gain crucial clues through this opportunity. I didn't want to waste any time on other thoughts, at least until during this meeting. The dining table stretched impressively long. On both ends of the table, extending from the entrance of the small dining room to the inner wall, there were only two seats…

<Episode 156> That’s hard. Summon Andert Fager? That was an impossible demand. “Why do you hesitate?” Well, because I am Andert Fager. “That will put my younger brother in a difficult position. Please give us some time, Your Majesty. That kid is not yet ready to appear again in the world..." "Is it because of Raphael Zenail?" I shut my mouth again. "Is it Duke Zenail’s doing? Use Count Vladiev as bait to lure out Princess Natasha? Is…

<Episode 158> “Was there an intruder before us? It hasn’t been long. The blood hasn’t dried properly.” "No, the probability of it being a mutiny is higher. Look at this." Raphael, who had been conducting an autopsy deep inside, gestured to me. "There are no signs of proper defense or even traces of a sudden intrusion. Most of them died without putting up much of a resistance." As I sat down next to him, scanning the surroundings, I asked…

<Episode 157> This laid the groundwork for the military operation for the nation rescue (?) mission. One person was a wizard, another was a knight, and I... I was once a maid, and in a more distant past, a soldier, and now, I was the esteemed head of a noble family. It wasn’t a bad combination. After explaining the sites I planned to explore to Raphael, I tried to open the warehouse door with a solemn attitude, but... "No, Daisy. Start from the north, not…

<Episode 145> It was hard to open my mouth easily. This was because the word ‘love’ that had come out of Rue’s mouth was both very unfamiliar and also not at all light. ‘Does Rue find it difficult to clearly define his emotions?’ It didn’t seem like that. Rather, it seemed like he was experiencing confusion because he could clearly define what he was feeling. He said his teeth felt itchy whenever he saw me, so it was only…

<Episode 146> Just then. When I turned my eyes and my field of vision expanded, I spotted a sturdy woman nearby. Those burdensome sparkling eyes belonged to… "Miss Tara?" "Yes!" Standing next to Tara was the relatively tall and thin older Calpenweaver sister. She approached me with a bright smile and politely greeted me. "Allow me to introduce myself properly, Viscount Weatherwoods. I am Edwina Calpenweaver, the eldest of the Calpenweaver family. And this is my…

For Cali, thank you for the ko-fi! <Episode 147> Raphael looked at me as if he were carefully observing, and carefully put his lips on the back of my hand. To think Raphael just kissed the back of my hand. I never thought I’d live to see the day. “Yes, good evening. I almost didn’t recognize you, sister.” I looked down at my slightly exposed shoulders and grinned. "My shoulders are sturdy, aren't they?" "I didn’t mean it like that.” "Then what did…
