Then Carlothian calmly responded to me. "What’s the matter?" "Th-th-the jeweler, you know the one you called." "Oh." Carlothian looked at me as if he had forgotten he had called for them. "Why? Was there nothing you liked? I told them to bring only the finest." "No, no. That’s not it!" I approached the desk and slammed my hand on it with a bang. "It’s too much!" "What’s too much?" "The jewels!" "What do you mean by ‘too much’? They're not worse than the ones you used to wear, are…-

"Hold on." "Huh? Sir Maicher!" She smiled brightly as she took his hand and got down, and Pierne closed the carriage door after confirming she had safely descended. "Did you sleep well last night?" "Yes." Pierne furrowed his brow as he secretly observed Ariadeline’s wrist. The marks from yesterday had become even more pronounced. There hadn’t been any sound at all yesterday. While Pierne was frowning, Ariadeline quietly looked at his face. "Huh?" Taken aback, she brought her hand to his cheek.…

I turned away from him and began to walk deeper into the forest path. The path was well-paved as a walking path, so it wasn’t hard to walk. Sir Maicher followed behind me. After about three minutes of walking, I saw a large open space. There were some spots to sit around the edges, but fortunately, there wasn’t a single person in sight. As I looked around, I suddenly had the urge to do something and turned to Sir Maicher. "Um, Sir Maicher." "Yes, what is it?" "Can I ask you for a small…

"Hmmph." It was an earlier morning than I expected. I stretched, feeling strangely sluggish all over. Next to me, Carlothian was lying down, exhausted from enduring my madness. Hmm, I feel sorry every time I see him like this. But maybe things will get easier once we arrive in Anrize? I really should make sure to get the holy relic. With that resolution, I carefully slipped out of his embrace. It seemed like I should let him sleep a bit longer since the dark circles under his eyes were quite…

"Uh, um. Yes." I handed over the bracelet and extended my hand with the back facing up. Despite having rather thick fingers, he skillfully fastened the bracelet. I raised my hand toward the sky, looking at the bracelet that wrapped around my wrist and the back of my hand. The fabric, glimmering in the sunlight, looked quite nice and seemed fairly expensive for something sold in such a place. I jokingly asked Sir Maicher, "You seem quite skilled at fastening bracelets. Do you have someone you meet…

Ariadeline opened the door first, and Pierne followed behind her. The atmosphere in the general store was quite cold. It oddly seemed to have a low temperature. Most of the items on display were strange things that seemed to be used for some kind of sorcery. Pierne thought it was ominous, but Ariadeline's eyes sparkled with interest. Could it be that she is acting this way because she knows how to use black magic? "Welcome, cough, cough. Welcome." The owner of the general store was an elderly…

After a series of twists and turns, we finally arrived at Anrize. I jumped out of the carriage with a hop. Carlothian frowned. "You’ll hurt yourself like that." "Come on, I used to be quite good at long jumping back in the day!" "Long jumps?" Oops. "Yeah, it’s a thing." "So you were doing strange things without me knowing." "Well, that was when you didn’t even care about me." At that, Carlothian’s mouth magically shut. I chuckled and looked around the town. The road was made of white…

Then he abruptly cut off the conversation. "There isn't." The knight sealed his lips as if he had no intention of saying anything further and resumed his guard duty. Hmm, I looked at him and soon turned my body to head down to the third floor. As I descended to the third floor, I saw a row of doors lined up. Unlike the area where I stayed with Carlothian, the doors here were closely packed together, and I could faintly hear people talking, suggesting that the rooms weren't well soundproofed. I walked…

The statue appeared to glow brightly, as if it were emitting light on its own, and I turned around to trace for the inscription I had seen during the day. "He who makes the body of a god bleed shall receive his tears." This inscription was said to have been written a thousand years after the statue was made, ten thousand years ago. "The inscription may have been written by the high priest." "Do you have any reason to think that?" "No, not really. It’s just an unusual detail. It’s an inscription…

TL/N: Hii. This chapter, by the way, is the R-19 version of the novel. It’s not much different from the R-15. Just some few lines were added, making it a little steamy. "What do you know to say something like that?" Pierne retorted instinctively, overwhelmed by a surge of emotions. Phil scowled as if incredulous. "Everyone in the world knows she cursed Princess Dorothea. And yet you still say that?" "She might have regretted it. People can change." "No, Pierne. People don’t change. Can't you see…

As I approached, I overheard someone explaining about the statue. "This statue is believed to have been created around ten thousand years ago and depicts the form of a god…" I raised my hand high. "I understand the temple was built about seven thousand years ago so how could the statue be over ten thousand years old?" The man explaining the statue’s history brightened up and clapped his hands. "Good question!" What’s this? It reminds me of my school days. Professors really loved it when…

"Oh, it’s you from earlier." She greeted him with a gentle smile. "I’m okay. It wasn’t really a big deal." Ariadeline’s calm voice seemed to pierce his ears. He was well aware of the villainess who had cursed the saint. A malicious witch who used black magic. Yet the witch of his imagination bore no resemblance to the woman sitting right in front of him. "If, if it’s okay with you..." Silv Baselon spoke without thinking. "May I explain more about the temple to you?" At this, she…

"...What." Carlothian responded briefly, indicating that he was somewhat surprised by the change in their behavior but soon showed disinterest as he descended the stairs and extended his hand to me. For some reason, his eyes looked dark. I wondered if he hadn’t slept well due to too much work. I took his hand and asked as we went down the stairs, "We’re going to the temple today, right?" "Yes." Once we stepped outside the lodging, I could see a crowd heading toward the temple. The long line of…

"What did you say?" Carlothian received the report about the commotion while Ariadeline was waiting for Pierne on the first floor. So it was almost immediate. "What did you just say?" "There are rude rumors about Miss Ariadeline circulating within the knight order." The one reporting the rumors to Carlothian was none other than Pierne. Upon seeing Ariadeline head to the first floor, Pierne had gone straight to find Carlothian. "Tell me the details." Carlothian put down the documents he was reviewing…

"Anyway, you’re the one who took my madness." "…So what? You’re still suffering the same." "If you ask me whether enduring madness or enduring you is better, I’d say you." "…Are you making fun of me for being weak?" Carlothian chuckled softly. "Caught me." "You, really… Do you want to be bitten?" "Where? Here?" Carlothian stuck out his tongue. Ariadeline’s ears instantly flushed. Her small hand struck his shoulder, but his solid shoulder didn’t budge. "If you’re going to keep…

Carlothian was easily led by me. One of the servants who had arrived earlier handed us a key. "It’s a room on the top floor." "Which room on the top floor?" The servant tilted their head as if confused by the question. "There’s only one room on the top floor." Oh, so it's a penthouse. I accepted the key with a smile and, holding Carlothian's hand, headed for the stairs. We soon arrived in front of the room. With the key, I opened the door and looked inside. "Wow!" The room wasn’t as luxurious…
