Adeline stared at Alex with a dazed expression for a moment. “…What did you just say?” “So, I bit Naya. Just by hearing this story, it’s clear that someone as powerless as her could easily be exposed to danger.” He spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, lifting his teacup and sipping the tea. His demeanor was so composed that it almost seemed as though Alex was the master of this room. Adeline only managed to regain her…-

Early morning. "We’ll head into the baths first." "Ah, sure. I’ll follow you in later, so go ahead." In the changing room of the grand bathhouse, the soldiers grabbed their toiletries and headed into the baths. While there were many female guests, the male guests were surprisingly few, making the changing room unexpectedly quiet. "Excuse me for a moment." At that moment, a man approached Alex, who was taking off his shirt, and sat down on the bench…

"Here, tea and some light refreshments." Naya placed a tray on the table, setting down teacups, a teapot, and some pastries. Adeline watched as Naya arranged the dishes and spoke in a kind voice. "Thank you. Now, take a break. You must have been working hard all by yourself." "Thank you. I hope you have a good conversation." As Naya turned to leave, Alex finally picked up the teapot and poured tea into his cup first, then into…

After Alex left, the Crown Prince watched his retreating figure and asked Adeline, "Is Captain Manningham still causing you trouble?" "Ah... no. There haven’t been any issues regarding that matter, Your Highness." "That’s a relief. If he ever makes you uncomfortable, let me know immediately. I’ll take care of it." On the surface, his words seemed harmless. But Adeline nodded while feeling a growing sense of unease. "Thank you for your…

I stared at the face reflected in the glass. It was definitely not an East Asian face. The reflection in the water's surface showed a Western-looking face with blonde hair and blue eyes. Anyone would agree it was a beautiful face. And when I looked at the mirror beside me, the full figure of this beauty came into view. As I saw my reflection in the mirror, I dropped the glass. Flowing blonde hair that reached down to my waist, sparkling bright sky-blue eyes,…

"...Will this be okay?" "It should be... probably. And didn’t Lake’s younger brother get a job at this duchy? To some extent, it’s only right to accommodate the young lady..." The riflemen carried their belongings and entered the mansion. After the operation at the black market and the subsequent reprimand from the brigade commander, it was hard to imagine they’d leave a good impression on the Lopitz ducal family. Staying here as guests was bound to feel awkward for…

In a secluded corner of the imperial palace, a clearing where no one paid much attention. Normally, the soldiers who had finished their night shift would exchange duties with the day shift and start their day with breakfast, but today was different. The tent where they had sheltered from the wind and rain was dismantled and loaded onto a carriage, and the heavy weapons were neatly arranged with their muzzles and triggers sealed. Alex folded the tent fabric with the…

“Go inside and rest. I’m sorry for calling you out so late.” “It’s alright. Goodnight.” After washing up and changing into her nightclothes with Naya’s help, Adelaine entered her bedroom. As she closed the door, a metallic scent hit her nose. It was unmistakably the smell of blood. “……!” She immediately recognized the source of the blood. “You’re finally here.” “…What’s going…

“How’s your leg, Captain?” “Still a nightmare.” Alex rolled up his pant leg and applied ointment to his ankle as he spoke. “I can only shoot, so it’s whatever. But why do you keep staying in this tough place, Captain? I heard rumors that Headquarters offered you a staff position.” “All I know how to do is shoot. And that wasn’t a staff position—it was an offer to be an errand boy for the staff headquarters.” He wrapped…

“Father, I’d like to bring in a new lady-in-waiting.” “Hmm. Did the current ones make a mistake?” “No. It’s just that I’ve found someone I’d like to have by my side.” At Adelaine’s words, the Duke gave her a momentarily flustered look. “…Is this about your preferences?” “No, Father.” Adelaine handed the Duke the resume she had secretly kept aside a few days ago. The Duke let out a faint sigh of…
