The garden of the country house, now in summer, was full of vibrancy and splendor. As soon as I entered the garden, the fresh scent of grass and the fragrance of flowers filled the air, as if proudly showcasing the vitality of summer to the world. In the middle of the lawn, which glistened with a blue tint and exuded a moist freshness, stood large trees. Beneath them, a tea table and chairs were placed, partially shaded by the canopy of the trees. The…-

“My lord, I’m coming in.” Without waiting for a reply, I opened the door and entered. Sedian was still sitting, leaning against the headboard of his bed. I hurried over to him and naturally held his hand. Sedian no longer pushed my hand away. Perhaps he had grown accustomed to me, or maybe he had given up. I hoped it was the former, but even if it were the latter, it wouldn’t be bad. After all, as long as I could hold Sedian’s hand and relieve his curse, that was…

"That doesn’t mean we can just keep hiding down here, right?” When I asked, Ellen nodded in agreement. "True. Some of the kids go out to buy what we need, but this neighborhood isn’t that big. Shopkeepers have gotten familiar with our faces. So, even taking turns to go out has its limits." The hardest part of living as a fugitive isn’t the escape itself—it’s buying the necessary daily goods while in hiding. A young man suddenly…

The content speculated about the possibility of a joint festival to solidify the peace treaty between the Empire and the Kingdom now that the war had ended. It was a trivial story, and I didn’t focus on the details. What mattered wasn’t the content but the hidden code within it. Agowor Passage. I committed it to memory and turned to the next page. On the main page following the headline was a review titled “Introduction to Famous Spots Across the…

When I knocked on Sedian’s door, it didn’t take long to hear a response telling me to come in. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Sedian still lying on the bed. “I thought as much—you’re not asleep.” Sedian looked slightly more haggard than he did in the morning. So I naturally sat by his side, held his hand, and said, “If you don’t sleep by this hour, you won’t grow taller. Don’t children of the new nation need to sleep…

No. You were looking for me, weren’t you? Then why did you chase me out as soon as we met? It feels a bit unfair. I scratched my head awkwardly after being kicked out of the room the moment I greeted him. Daisy looked at me with a pitying expression and said. *** “You have a knack for saying things you don’t need to and getting hated for it, butler.” “Why are you even giving me a hard…

“It’s natural to joke around and get to know each other better this way. The young master also enjoys my jokes.” “That might just be your own assumption, Butler…?” Daisy still looked at me with an expression of disapproval. How strange. Not too long ago, she seemed to have a favorable opinion of me. But now, it feels like she despises me instead of liking me. “Anyway, I’ve checked the sacred water storage.” “Let’s talk…

I made eye contact with each of the bewildered servants. I was checking to see if anyone might lose control of their expression and reveal their true identity. Unfortunately, it seemed the spy was someone who maintained a poker face. No one showed a suspicious expression. Tsk. “I don’t know how the previous butler managed you all. However, it’s not realistic for me to hold one-on-one interviews with each of you to understand the work while you’re all so busy,…

A Fool Who Only Knows How to Run His Tongue “Do you think it would be better if I just died?” At the moment I heard Sedian’s words, I felt as if my heart dropped. An unexplainable tension surged through my body. It was like hearing something I was never meant to hear. The reason Sedian was sick was solely due to the curse. If not for the curse, Sedian wouldn’t be suffering. He wouldn’t have to endure these painful days. As the only heir to the…

Before I was possessed, I was a person who was pushed into becoming a nurse due to family circumstances. A terribly poor family. An alcoholic and violent father, and a mother who resigned herself to living under such a father. There are many forms of unhappiness, but I bore the most common one. In such an environment, dreams were a luxury, and thriftiness was a virtue. I aimed to become a nurse and attended a nursing college on a…
