The genius sorcerer of the Riyat Empire, Ashin Judin. After a long war, she was casually enjoying a nap when the emperor issued an order. “Now that the war is over, you have nothing else to do. Get married.” The other person was someone Ashin knew well. Commander-in-Chief, Leotar Van Mur, whom she had clashed with on even the tiniest things during the war.…- 1.8 K • Apr 23, '25

Despite Ashin's provocation, he didn't even flinch. "I'm curious why you stepped back." "Because I didn't want to make a mistake with you. That's all." "Then didn't you think about even having a conversation? You don't hate me, do you? You were clearly in the barracks, but said you weren't, and you didn't come to the waterfront, nor did you stay at the lord's castle during the move. All of that was just a coincidence?" Was he ashamed of responding to the seduction of a mere commoner?…-

"That's just your narrow-minded opinion." "It's not just my opinion, though?" "I am the Emperor of the Empire, so assume I hold more cards than you all." "Judging by your reluctance to tell us, it must be a serious matter related to Ailem." Vize quietly looked down at the balding head of Izodin, who was grinning. A mere High Priest, yet he was so brazen, flaunting his seniority. "Did the Grand High Priest order you to dig something up? You seem quite preoccupied." "Who…-

The magic wasn't a spell that directly killed, but Ashin cleared the path with it so that Leotar's army could kill with ease. In doing so, she protected the continent's water source and saved the lives that depended on it. "Then why did you come?" At the trembling voice, Jimunda clicked her tongue and turned her head away. "Why did you come!" Ashin squeezed her eyes shut and shouted, scattering the tears that had welled up into the air. Instead of Jimunda, who remained silent,…-

The envoys who had been flocking in even before the wedding ceremony were endless, still passing through the main gate of the Imperial Palace. The outside of the window was noisy. The sound of a horn announcing someone's arrival seemed to have rung dozens of times. Moreover, so many people had gathered that the murmur of the crowd reached Ashin beyond the window. Ashin glanced out the window between the maids clinging to her, and soon her face turned pale. "Ahem, you must stay…-

Ashin’s mother, Jimunda, wordlessly turned back to examine the patient. Ashin stood stiffly behind her, staring at Jimunda’s hair, which was now nearly white. She hesitated, wondering what to say, then uttered an awkward first word. “You’ve come.” Jimunda replied as she wrapped a bandage around the patient. “It’s been ten years, and you don’t seem very happy to see me.” “No, I am happy.” Without so much as a smile for Ashin, Jimunda gave the patient an…-

“Uh, over there.” The detached palace greenhouse wasn't far. In the Empire, where the climate was mild year-round with only dry and rainy seasons, a greenhouse signified the owner's wealth. Vize probably even considered that perception when she bestowed this detached palace. Even so, Ashin used it for the extremely practical purpose of cultivating medicinal herbs. The interior of the greenhouse was as extravagant as a space meant to flaunt wealth. Sunlight filtering through the stained-glass…-
