The man referred to as Shanti introduced himself to Jiwoon as the butler in charge of managing this house. Shanti, of Indian descent but British, was forty-five years old. Despite his skin color, race, and nationality clearly marking him as a foreigner, his Korean language skills were better than most Koreans. "You can freely roam around inside the mansion, but you cannot go out without permission. However, it's okay to go as far as the lake over there." Shanti's long index finger pointed out…-

A bitter smile touched Marianne's lips as she thought extensively about Richard. 'Maybe he should be called "like uncle, like nephew."' At first glance, it seemed like an absurd comparison since the two were almost opposites in appearance. If Fernan was a gentle, all-around handsome man, Richard was a sharp, handsome man who could send shivers down one's spine. Frankly, even Marianne, a queen of a nation, felt overwhelmed by him, let alone others. It was like the difference between warm…-

Gilda caught Diana as she staggered and asked with concern in her voice: "Diana, are you okay?" "It's because you scared the girl with your spooky stories." Uncle Ben grumbled from behind, though he too seemed quite worried. "I'm fine." A faint smile appeared on Diana's pale face. "I guess stopping that fight earlier was too exhausting." "Diana, I'm sorry. I didn't know there was such a commotion while I was busy bringing supplies from the storage. Did you note their names in the…

“Richard Ashwood! The world's best pilot is right here in the Bringerton Air Force!” Diana, who was about to turn around to take the next order, stopped in her tracks upon hearing the term 'White Falcon.' 'White Falcon' undoubtedly referred to her past self, Fernan Lowell. However, there was a contradiction in the man's words she couldn't understand. Someone better than the 'White Falcon'? 'Is there such a person?' ...Honestly, she felt a bit provoked. Diana's usually gentle eyebrows…

Diana had realized she was reincarnated ten years ago. The realization of her reincarnation came from something very trivial. It happened when she was twelve, playing with her friend Jerome. They were having fun with a white airplane model when suddenly, Diana started frothing at the mouth and passed out. As she lay unconscious, her past life flooded into her consciousness like a tumultuous wave. The love she received from her family in childhood, the glory of her twenties free from any hardship,…

I regretted it. The regret was all the more bitter because it was too late. My consciousness flickered perilously like an old light bulb. The musty dampness of the solitary confinement cell seeped into my bones. I blinked my crusted eyes with difficulty and asked myself, 'How long have I been locked up here?' Days? Months? Maybe it felt like just a moment. My muddled brain had long lost the sense of time and direction. My thoughts spun like the tail of a crashing airplane. When fighting in the…

The fresh, light green leaves of spring had deepened into a rich, mature green. While bright and warm sunlight still poured over the ground during the day, the air grew noticeably chilly after sundown, filling the campus. It was unmistakably autumn now. Ever since Lucy Keenan had come to his dormitory to retrieve the book, Felix had crossed paths with her several times in the hallways or around the campus. Each time, he walked past her without so much as a glance. There was no longer any need to…

Felix’s eyes widened. Was it a hallucination? But no—it was undoubtedly Lucy, standing stiffly at the door with an anxious expression, her emerald-green eyes looking up at him. “…Hello,” Lucy greeted in a small voice. Was she here to see Adrian? Felix, lost in thought, forgot to respond. The possibility that she hadn’t come to see him crept into his mind, and he instinctively stepped aside from the doorway. Lucy hesitated briefly before entering the room. She looked around…

Autumn arrived in an instant. The cicada songs that once shook the skies vanished without a trace, replaced by the nightly chirping of crickets wafting through the dormitory windows. During the day, students strolled leisurely around campus, enjoying the crisp weather. Everyone seemed to welcome the refreshing season with open arms—except for one person. "Achoo!" Felix, unable to resist the tickle at the tip of his nose, sneezed as he walked. What a horrible season, he grumbled inwardly,…

Yet, similar incidents occurred several more times. After swordsmanship class, when Felix and Adrian came out of the training hall with identical towels draped over their heads, Lucy hesitated before confidently approaching Adrian and delivering her message. Another time, on a day of heavy spring rain, when they had their rainproof cloaks pulled up to their heads, it happened again. Lucy Keenan was clearly distinguishing between the Berg twins by something other than hair length. “Hey, Alex.…
