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…-

Even knowing that things would ultimately go Leotar's way, Ashin still tried to find fault with it. "What exactly is his situation?" "I don't know the details myself. But I do know that the Lord of Ailem has a terrible inferiority complex towards his son. I've heard the Lord has a rather peculiar temperament." "Shouldn't he be happy if his heir is doing well?" "I find it strange too. But if there's one emotion I understand least in this world, it's inferiority, so it's hard for me to…-

People bustled about before her eyes. Vize and they were serious, but Ashin felt detached from reality. Wasn't it so? It was a ridiculous wedding. Neither side's parents were attending, the parties involved had no interest in the marriage, and the only person who was actually excited was Vize, just one person on the entire continent. Even the people of the Imperial City were busy muttering about whether this was the right thing to do. Moreover, since they wouldn't even live together for three…-

"The incantation?" "Nothing at all." Soriya, stifling a yawn, rubbed her eyes as she replied. "Spirit arts are forbidden to begin with. How could we possibly follow that? Just tracking him makes me tremble to death." The task of tracking the Prince of Pihan was shared only among Ashin's closest aides, high-ranking sorcerers. It had been almost a year since the war ended and the empire began to stabilize. Two months prior, Ashin had caught a glimmer of hope that the Prince might still be…-
