“I had a feeling you didn’t want to be scrutinized.” Marquis Alfred Elraba adjusted his cuffs, “It was a good chance to gain merit though. Are you upset?” “Not at all, Father. I’m glad you did.” Elphie let out a sigh of relief. Marquis Elraba smiled, “Crown Prince Troy can be a tricky figure, but he’s a capable young man. You two are around the same age, perhaps you should meet again under different circumstances.” Elphie sat in the dark carriage, a shadow casting on her face where…-

Ariadne smiled brightly, “Really? You think so?” Elphie nodded gently. Ariadne clasped her hands as she said excitedly, “Actually, I’m really happy that you came today.” “I should’ve come earlier.” “Not at all!” Ariadne tugged lightly on Elphie’s hand and the two began moving forward again. The dark cobblestone path winded through the narrow alleys, and Elphie would periodically move behind Ariadne to squeeze through. As the shadows played hide-and-seek with the light, Ariadne…

Elphie was somewhat taken aback. As far as she knew, they had never met before, so it was surprising that he knew who she was. Of course, perhaps he had studied the nobles in the capital and gotten to know them in the meantime. “Your Highness.” Since the Duke knew who she was, she decided to not pretend she didn’t know who he was. “You know who I am?” The Duke’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if scrutinizing her. “Of course. I attended your welcome banquet.” “If I remember clearly, you…

“Revenge…” Countess Frieda’s pupils shrunk as she clenched her fist. “Of course, such as Count Frieda, Lady Marsale, and the others who have mocked and criticized you.” “Forget those vixens.” Countess Frieda plopped heavily onto the chair, “There’s no need to belittle myself to fight those bitches. That dog Count Frieda on the other hand…” Countess Frieda glowered at her teacup, as if wishing she could tear the porcelain into pieces with her mouth. She angrily picked it up and…

Elphie sat in bed as a curly, brown-haired maid handed her a cup of tea. The maid was young, perhaps in her early twenties, and most of her hair was tied back and covered in a bonnet. This was the maid who had been beside her mother when she woke up. Because Elphie had just recently recovered, her parents urged her to get some more rest and fussed over her well-being. She met her father the Marquis for the first time. He was a tall but slender man, appearing more like an erudite than a soldier. His hair…

Today’s weather was quite nice. The sun shone down on the plaza as people bustled about. Some carriages drove by while merchants hawked their goods. Elphie decided to take a stroll and immerse herself in the atmosphere. The shops here were made of mostly the same mold: painted blue wood that gave the entire plaza a light pastel color. It made everything seem slightly more vibrant. At the center was a fountain. Though it wasn’t as large as the one within the palace, kids flocked around, splashing…

Cha Seo-yeong flipped closed the book she was reading. A sigh escaped her parted lips as she sunk slightly in her seat, glancing out the window of the cafe. Pedestrians milled across the street, some looking lost while others rushed to get to the places they needed to be at. She slowly got up from her seat, brushing the surface of the book when something suddenly caught her eye. Outside, a child was crossing the street as a car sped towards them without slowing down. Cha Seo-yeong immediately burst…

When the firelight died, silence did not. It followed her into the dark like breath behind glass. She woke or thought she did to frost on her lashes and the scent of burned myrrh. The mask was gone. Only her heartbeat remained, pulsing like a second voice. Frost rimed the edges of the mirror before her, though she could not recall walking to the Queen’s chambers. The air shimmered with incense: frostmint, myrrh, and something metallic that pricked behind her eyes. When she reached to wipe the glass,…-

It was currently 10.44 and I was already starving. I haven't had breakfast and I've been up since five and then I was sparring with Ken until an hour ago. Then a freshman from the culinary club asked for my help to change the gas in their practice kitchen. They didn't tell me that I have to change all 12 gasses, though (though I have to admit that I am not actually complaining, since they paid me in a handful of Ben and Jerry's vouchers) and then I was rushing to get to the basketball hall to meet Marsha…-

"Hi." I greeted the ever so lovely Marsha, with her long wavy auburn hair and her soft hazel eyes, who was sitting on the bleachers. "When are you going back home?" I asked once I settled beside her. "Next week," She said. Her voice was soft and calming. One of my favorite sounds in the world. "But only for a few days. I have to help with the competition." She glanced at me and I nodded at that. "Sweet," I said, feeling happy to be able to spend more time with her. "Don't forget tomorrow morning to come…

It was hot. I grumbled in my head as I made my way to the photography club room. I kept on brushing beads of sweat from my forehead as I crossed the huge lawn between the F campus building and the G campus building where the club room was. "Yo!" I heard a shout right at the same time as something hard, most likely a notebook, smacked the back of my head. "What the hell, man?" I stopped walking to rub my head and glare at the jerk that did that. He was holding the suspected notebook, looking awfully…

“What good is it for you to do this?” Qin Kaiyi helplessly asked the man on the other side, “You don’t believe that I’ll compromise this way, right?” “Why do you always refuse to give me a chance to try?” Shen Feixiao held a steaming cup of coffee in his hands. His clothes were very casual today, and he lost some of his usual aggressiveness. “What chance?” Qin Kaiyi pursed his lips. “I still have a lot of methods.” Shen Feixiao looked into Qin Kaiyi’s eyes calmly, “You…-

(Trigger Warning: mild sex scene) “You decided?” “…Uh…” “Why are you still hesitating?” “I…” “You can initiate the break up.” “That…” “You agree then?” “Okay.” Someone dejectedly replied, “Let’s give it a try.” “Of course.” In fact, Qin Kaiyi couldn’t understand how things developed so strangely. He knew that Shen Feixiao was good to him, but he never imagined that he was so good to him that Qin Kaiyi’s life would turn…
