ANR Ch 9
"Why did you come out without a coat in this rain? You'll catch a cold." Claude's stubborn amber eyes turned towards Yves's wet hair. "I told you not to come, but you really don't listen until you die. What have you been doing up so late without sleep?" "I had nightmares, so I couldn't sleep well." "Even so, there was no need to come here, was there?" Claude gave an awkward smile as if he had nothing to say. He then quietly led the horse to stand before Yves. "If both of us ride, this…-

ANR Ch 8
In the middle of the ballroom, a live rabbit was hopping around. Baron Maurice had released it for entertainment, promising a reward to whoever caught it with their bare hands. Madame Chalrette was running around trying to catch it when she tripped and fell. Being drunk, she found her own clumsiness amusing and burst into laughter, sitting down on the floor. At that moment, someone extended a hand to her. "You won't catch it if you run around like that." "Pfft, thank you, Captain Perrier.…-

ANR Ch 7
Claude recovered even more quickly than expected. During his rest, his wounds healed, and his new flesh grew with the food he ate. After a week, he was in a state where he could live without much inconvenience, and after another week, he was well enough to ride a horse. He asked the doctor sent by Yves to make sure to inform the captain of his condition. Meanwhile, the newly opened House of Representatives was overwhelmingly dominated by the far-right royalists. They extended the term of the…-

ANR Ch 6
Before the late Madam Simon could rise from the grave in indignation, it was best to leave the scene. "Let's go." The two made their way back to their lodging, guided by the moonlight. The three-story inn was silent. They entered through the back door, which the innkeeper had left open for late-returning guests. A lone candle flickered atop a sconce on a bare wall, casting restless shadows. Their footsteps creaked against the wooden stairs as they ascended to the second floor, the sound…-

ANR Ch 5
It took a full half-day by carriage to reach the destination. About an hour after departure, the surrounding scenery shifted to a rural path. Yves pulled out a book and began to read, while Claude silently gazed out the window. Winter was giving way to spring. The pastures, where small sprouts were beginning to emerge, were gradually turning green. The carriage rattled along a bumpy dirt road. Small stones kicked up by the wheels bounced and tapped against the underside of the vehicle. Claude was…-

ANR Ch 4
Yves frowned at the unexpected answer. “Vacation? Are you planning to catch the criminal all by yourself?” “That would be difficult, but I should at least secure something to prove the innocence of Michelle and myself. There might be witnesses besides the Captain.” Hearing that, Yves scowled unhappily. Michelle and myself. They barely met that day, yet he found it grating how he already grouped them together like they were close. That wasn't all. He didn't like how it seemed like he was…-

ANR Ch 3
Claude felt uncomfortable when his name was suddenly mentioned in the middle of a discussion about a near-pornographic adultery novel. "I heard that you took the suspect to the duke's mansion from an inn on the Rue de Clichy three days ago, is that correct?" "That's correct." He replied concisely, and the inspector asked while holding a pen. "Do you remember what time it was?" "I arrived home around 9 o'clock, so it was probably a little after 8 o'clock." "Then you don't know what…-

ANR Ch 2
Yves was perched on the desk in his reception room on the third floor of the officers' building, taking off his gloves. The light expression he had shown at the inspection was now gone, and fatigue was etched on his face, having taken off his hat. "Haa..." He had participated in the Duke of Angoulême's suppression of the Spanish Revolution two years ago and had not returned to the military since then. He had been holed up in his house for a year, not engaging in any outside activities at all, so…-

ANR Ch 13
The talk of Paris expanding wasn't new. The narrow alleyways and tightly packed buildings cast shadows everywhere, driving citizens away from the sunless streets and towards the outskirts. The northern outskirts, centered around Montmartre, housed the poor, while the west, beyond the Arc de Triomphe and stretching to Nanterre, was dotted with the mansions of the wealthy. The city walls no longer confined Paris; the burgeoning city relentlessly pushed its people outwards. “The road is rough. I…-
