19. ‘Poison.’ Just the thought made the delicate handle of the teacup, fragile enough to snap with a single misstep, loom with an intimidating presence. Leo glanced at Jinpetsu after his silent standoff with the teacup. Jinpetsu shook his head resolutely. He hadn’t been planning to drink it anyway. What was he, a child? Leo spoke indifferently, his interest lying not in the tea itself but in how it had come to be served with his meal and the intentions behind it. “Well, I wouldn’t…-

18. When Leo chose not to leave and took a seat, Ateira felt a small sense of relief. She had fought hard to secure this opportunity. After fully grasping her mission, the first thing Ateira requested from Count Zellered was her freedom within the mansion. Initially dismissing her request as nonsense, the count raised an eyebrow, but Ateira furrowed her own in defiance. 'Do you believe I can eliminate him while locked up in this room, Count? If you want a mage, you might want to look…

17. Back in her room, Ateira allowed herself to cry. She had told the knights that she was tired and needed some rest. Once she lay down under her blanket, the guards left her alone. Pulling the covers tightly over her head to muffle any sounds, she trembled as tears escaped. Dermin. Strangely, memories of his younger days came flooding back to her—the time when he had been small and needed constant attention. Ateira held the pin from the box tightly in her hands, intertwining her slender…

16 "Unless you've fallen in love with a monster." "...Get out." Shouldn't have asked. Leo fric frowned deeply, wrinkles forming between his straight eyebrows, and spoke irritably. Edgick chuckled and headed out with the other knights. "Petsu." Leo subtly gestured to his vice-commander and handed over a small, rolled-up note that Nephi had spat out on his way back. As Jinpetsu took it and quickly scanned through it, relief crossed his face before it hardened slightly. "His Majesty is…

12. The priest’s expression brightened. It wasn’t exactly an ordinary matter, after all. Wintran wasn’t the only one who had been surprised by the news of the high priest’s visit from the Great Temple. The Thornfeld capital’s temple had only been informed a few days earlier. The high priest was not one to move unless for serious matters. For him to travel from the holy land to Thornfeld’s capital—this was no ordinary affair. Even if he was known to be humble and frugal, they could…

15. It was strange. For someone renowned for returning from battle unscathed, it seemed like every time he encountered that princess, he ended up with some kind of injury. Coincidence, no doubt. But the thought left an odd aftertaste. He felt distracted, like a fumbling novice. At first, he’d thought it was a fluke, but after the second time, he began to wonder. Could it be a sensory anomaly or some reaction failure? Leo fric pondered. It felt like his focus had already wavered when he saw…

14. “If I’d known it had an owner, I wouldn’t have meddled.” “Peep.” Nephi let out a faint, pitiful chirp. "…." “Excuse me for a moment.” With a small shrug, Leo fric approached Nephi, who was still caught in the vines. The tall man effortlessly jumped up, reaching the bird and freeing it from the vines with ease. He was so tall that, even after reaching Nephi, there was still plenty of room to spare. “Annoying little bird,” he muttered, scolding it lightly.…

13. Leo was gradually becoming familiar with the baron’s estate. Not just the layout of the buildings or the terrain, but the air, the smells, the different sounds, and even the feel of the grass underfoot. Compared to the small estate where he had grown up, there were fewer trees, making the air a bit drier, though filled with more floral scents. The increased number of people lent a sense of bustling activity. The closely trimmed grass felt soft underfoot. The darkness here was a little thinner,…

11. It was an emergency. The baron had buried his head in his hands. Though he hadn’t been through everything under the sun, he prided himself on having faced his share of issues while managing the merchant guild. But this... was new. "I didn’t expect them to stay so long..." He had never hosted guests of such high rank and fame in his estate before. And on top of that, ones who didn’t get along. If he had known beforehand and told his friends, "Guess what? Sir Leo fric and the…

Episode 20 Noah blinked in disbelief at what he was seeing. Just as he relaxed his guard, another wolf lunged at him, but he was saved by yet another arrow. Watching the wounded wolf whimper at his feet, Noah spotted someone running toward them. He muttered in astonishment, almost to himself. “Jason…?” “Commander! Sir Noah!” The familiar voice confirmed Noah's suspicions. Calyps, still wary of the wolves, froze as he recognized Jason's bright voice calling out to them. “Jason……
