Imperial Year 813, March. The Heinern Empire. Situated at the very heart of the continent, this empire boasted one of the largest territories, abundant resources, and an exemplary reputation as a prosperous land. Truly, it was a nation many would dream of living in. But strength always comes with enemies, and talent inevitably attracts envy and negativity. In short, no matter how prosperous the Empire was, war was unavoidable. โCommander Theo! Thereโs been a report of suspicious activity nearโฆ-

A villain, you see, is a noble role. At least, thatโs what I think. Why, you ask? Because itโs only with a villain that a story becomes truly vibrant. With an evil role, the good oneโthe protagonistโcan shine. Itโs like how shadows form where the sun shines, or how thereโs naturally a bottom when thereโs a top. Villains inject tension into the story, set events in motion, and drive the plot forward. And thatโs not all. The readers of the story often rally together as they despise theโฆ

โWho is that guy?โ Ian and Leo had been waiting in the reception area of Lloyd Gillenโs law firm for over two hours after leaving the bank. Initially, Ian had been so furious that he didnโt even notice the passing time, but now, with the anger subsiding, he began to feel stiffness creeping into his body. In response to Leoโs question, Ian shared the only fact he knew. โMy stepfatherโs lawyer.โ โThen why is he buying your house? And in such a shady way?โ โYeah, I thinkโฆ-

And so, it was the next day. โArenโt you supposed to be at work today? Is it okay to be meeting at this hour?โ When Leo asked, having willingly come to the cafe across from the hotel after Ian suggested they meet, Ian answered simply. โI got fired.โ โHuh? Why? You didnโt quit?โ โThe manager said heโs sorry, but thereโs nothing he could do.โ The two entered the cafe and stood at the counter, choosing their drinks. Ian picked hot chocolate without hesitation, whileโฆ

Life is so dull. Thatโs what I honestly thought, even though older folks might scoff at someone whoโs only twenty-eight saying such a thing. But seriously, twenty-eight years isnโt a short amount of time. Even with a product, if youโve used it for twenty-eight years, you can write a pretty detailed review, right? And if I tried to list out all the crazy things Mino did to make life more interesting, Iโd need the sky as my paper and the sea as my inkโand even that might not beโฆ-

Feeling too guilty for holding people back from leaving on a Friday, Mino ended up taking a half-day off. It was a sudden request, but the team leader surprisingly gave the go-ahead with gusto. It was the end of the year, so there were unused annual leaves anyway. Junhyuk seemed like he had something to say, his lips twitching, but Mino grabbed his bag and hurriedly stood up, rushing out of the office. โAh, good. Shamelessly.โ Once outside, he felt like he could breathe again. It was cold, butโฆ

The moment that awakened Mino from his life of desirelessness was somewhat humorous. โHa Mino, come to the staff room after the assembly.โ It was during his second year of middle school. Somehow, Mino, who was ranked 12th in the whole school, ended up first in his class. Because of this, he received a proposal to join the student council, recommended by his homeroom teacher. Mino didnโt refuse, so he became a part of the council. It wasnโt a grand title, but it was still a badge ofโฆ

The knights of Alosa, summoned by the princessโs command, hesitated as they looked at Lucian. Despite their princessโs orders, the man standing before them bore the golden and emerald pendant symbolizing the Chief Aide of Pranas. And even without that, his face was familiarโhe had introduced himself as the emperorโs Chief Aide when requesting entry earlier. Moreover, the man didnโt flinch. He stood tall, exuding an air of authority that made it hard to approach him despite the princessโsโฆ-

โIโm back, Your Majesty.โ As Lucian stepped inside and greeted, Heraith looked up. Unlike usual, he was lounging leisurely, reading a bookโhis relaxed demeanor was enough to make anyone want to smack him. โOh, Luce.โ His expression seemed like he had been expecting Lucian, yet the words that came out were quite different. โYour leave hasnโt ended yet. Why are you back?โ โA bomb dropped in the Imperial Palace and hit me too. How can I rest in peace like this?โ Lucianโฆ

โIs this really just loyalty that he feels?โ Could it be an older brotherโs intuition? Ronenโs gaze, which had been fixed on Lucian, now shifted toward Count Astro. The Count, too, wore a grim expression as he stared at the tabloid in his hand. His eyes were glued to a small photo that was printed alongside the emperorโs portrait. The face in the photo was blurred, but the dark hair was unmistakable. Ronen looked at Lucian, who was lost in thought with a frustratedโฆ
