The murmuring noise echoed faintly in Catherine’s numb ears. Property. Caliburn’s Rediot. Words sharp as razors tore at her chest, and an old memory unfolded before her eyes. It was a different kind of pain than what she had felt at her father’s tomb or in the palace garden. Back then, it was as if a forgotten memory had been forcibly dragged back. But now, it felt like someone had abruptly yanked away a poorly draped cloth. - “I have never once…-

"I like the sea." Hearing that answer, I felt a sharp pain deep in my chest. Saying they like the sea must mean they want to go out to the sea. But since they can't, they probably can’t bring themselves to say they want to. The reason they can't is because, although things have improved, the curse still hasn’t been lifted. Taking a deep breath, I held his hand tightly. "Let’s go eat for now. Everyone must be…-

Should I be happy about this or not? Well, avoiding the hassle of party preparations to stay with Sedian isn’t a bad thing. Besides, I’ve been applying ointment to his wounds every morning and evening to help him heal. The recovery is faster than I thought. At this rate, his wounds might fully heal with just one or two encounters once the female protagonist appears. That means I’ll be able to escape even sooner than…

Happiness and Misery “Phew.” I let out a small sigh, pressing my hand against my chest. He’s asleep. Thank goodness. I had been agonizing over what to do since I wasn’t ready to share a bed with Sedian. To prevent the possibility of the bandages binding my chest from coming undone if I tossed and turned in my sleep, I checked the knot once more and then slowly sat down beside Sedian. Sedian was sound…

“Y-Young Master?” Sedian silently observed Rey, who was standing there with a dumbfounded expression. Rey, still perched on the windowsill, seemed unable to grasp the current situation. Sedian was in his room, and he had been caught sneaking out—this was the reality Rey hadn’t yet fully processed. “Well, um… why… are you here, Young Master?” Rey stammered as he spoke, but Sedian had no intention of answering. To be precise,…

“You... how do you know that...!” “It would be a graver crime to attempt harm against the Young Master on the orders of someone who isn’t even the Duke’s second-in-command.” There was no reason or time to listen to any more nonsense. I spread my palm wide. “Got anything else to say?” “Ugh...!” The man let out a strange noise and stomped his feet again. Then he suddenly grabbed a magical tool on the…

“This is what he looks like.” The drawing depicted a narrow face, slanted eyes, a hooked nose, and protruding front teeth, all rendered with striking realism. It was so detailed that one could mistake it for the work of a professional artist. “You’re pretty good at this,” I remarked. “Our Lily originally wanted to become an artist,” Ellen said with pride, as if boasting about his child, and extended the portrait toward me. I tucked the drawing into my…

“What is it? What were you all gathered here doing?” When I asked, smiles spread across their faces. They couldn’t help the corners of their mouths curving upward as they began to speak one by one. “It’s almost the young master’s birthday.” “His health has improved so much lately, so we thought about throwing a party. Perhaps it could double as his coming-of-age ceremony.” “We could keep it small among ourselves, or we could invite Mr.…

"Do it for me." It was such an unexpected statement that I froze, still holding the ointment. "What? You don't want to?" "No, no. It's not that." I replied with an awkward laugh. "I'm just amazed. Our Young Master, who used to hate even holding hands, has changed so much. Do you really want me to do it? Alright, roll up your sleeve." "Eek…!" For some reason, Sedian turned red and…

"How did you say you got here?" After 9 p.m., Yuna arrived at the third location. The memo had said ‘BAR,’ so she had her suspicions—but it really was called “Bar” in English. There, she asked a staff member for Woojin, and without a word, the staff brought over the manager. Yuna took a business card out of her cardholder and handed it over. “I’ve come to escort Master Tae Woojin. Is he here?” She deliberately used the term Master to…-
