8. The little bird had short wings with a touch of black at the tips, making it adorably awkward. Ateira couldn’t help but chuckle softly. In response, the bird seemed to peck her thumb with its tiny, not-so-sharp beak as if to admonish her, though it didn’t hurt at all. “Sorry.” She apologized for laughing, even though the bird couldn’t understand her and likely hadn’t pecked her for that reason. The small bird continued to tilt its head, watching her with a curious look. The gentle…-

7. “Edgick! Edgick Otwell!” “Vice-Commander!” He had pushed his horse to its limit, racing until he could barely breathe. The order was safe, just as he’d hoped, but he couldn’t deny that a sliver of worry had gnawed at him during the ride. His first task was to find the general overseer, one of his most critical personnel. The vice-commander, practically leaping off his horse in a way uncharacteristic of him, met the curious stares of the knights. Catching his breath, he issued a…

6. Count Zellered took a step back—three steps would be more accurate. The command would be suspended until the woman's identity was confirmed for security purposes. For this, Leo Fric’s side would move within the fortress, allowing members of his order to come and go freely. The surrounding troops would not follow, and Leo Fric and Jinpetsu would have their weapons returned. To handle the matter with gravity, Leo Fric also made it clear that he would formally request an audience with King…

5. "…Do you think you’ll get away with this?" Count Zellered ground his teeth in frustration. Things had gone terribly awry. The king had entrusted him with this task, expecting the insolent hero to be shaken by being given a captive as a bride. But this brazen woman had ruined it. As a result, Count Zellered had no choice but to ease the pressure he had so carefully built against Leo Fric. "Do you think I fear death?" Ateira scoffed lightly. She had lost her country, her family, and…

4. "......" Princess Ateira lowered her gaze slightly, only to avert it again. She felt no interest. Since being taken captive, she had not faced direct torture. Instead, she had been forced to watch those captured alongside her, held in the same room, dragged away one by one. Powerless. On the night the imperial city of Ledetia fell, she lost everything. She could do nothing. Those who had aided her escape had disappeared upon reaching Thornfeld. One each day. After days and…

3. A wedding night ceremony—reserved for urgent marriages between noble houses. Once the ceremony was complete, witnesses would confirm its consummation, binding the bride and groom’s honor publicly and irrevocably. From that night onward, they were considered married in society’s eyes. “Count Zellered!” Unable to contain his anger any longer, Leo Fric barked in outrage. He was humiliated to be ordered into a forced wedding night, as if he were nothing but a pawn. “Sir Leo Fric. The…

2. The man didn’t seem entirely convinced by Count Zellered’s words. “...Is something the matter with His Majesty?” For the first time, an emotion flickered across Leo Fric’s normally inscrutable face. His icy expression softened with a hint of suspicion and concern. Leo Fric was a knight of unbreakable loyalty. It was that unwavering devotion that had enabled him to propel Wintran and the Kingdom of Thornfeld to the pinnacle of the continent’s might. “Nothing of the sort. His…

Episode 19 While Noah worried, Calyps had reached the farthest edge of the village. After scouting around for several days, he had cleared out a fair number of zombies and familiarized himself with the area, enabling him to reach his destination more quickly than usual. ‘As expected, there’s hardly anything useful here.’ Just as he was about to leave the empty building, he felt a sudden chill and instinctively halted, pressing himself against the wall. Staying motionless, he carefully scanned…

Episode 18 Even as Noah engaged in small talk with Derek, his gaze kept drifting anxiously toward the door. Derek, noticing this, tried to keep the conversation going to distract him, but it didn’t take long before Noah’s attention turned back to the door once more. “Are you very worried?” Derek asked gently. Noah gave a slight nod. Though it was more fear than worry, he couldn’t quite bring himself to say so aloud. “Don’t worry—this is Calyps Ater we’re talking about, the war…
