SMFCV Chapter 27
Chapter 27. The Notorious Freshman The central staircase leading to the attic was a spiral, illuminated by golden sunlight streaming through a wall of windows. Spring had arrived. In the gardens outside, lilac trees bloomed in soft shades of lavender, their fragrance almost teasingly wafting up as if it might somehow reach even here. I paused on the landing, taking a moment to steady my breath and absorb the view of the Academy’s garden. A white cabbage butterfly fluttered aimlessly through the…-

Chapter 26. Cruel Justice The clear stream glinted in the sunlight, refracting the rays like a shattered mirror. In some places, the light danced in rainbow hues. It was spring—the season when hibernating frogs awaken and leap into the water, scattering droplets in their wake. Yet, by the muddy banks of the stream, mounds of snow stubbornly lingered, piled as though marking graves for small creatures like pheasants or rabbits that children might have buried. The ground by the stream was damp,…-

Chapter 25. For the Princess With the Marquis of Ivelucia’s sponsorship secured, the Marchioness offered me a room in their estate so I could focus on my studies. “We’ve always provided accommodations for protégés without a suitable residence. Please don’t feel burdened by it,” she explained. Though living in the mansion until my admission to the Academy wasn’t part of my original plan, it was too good an offer to decline. Thankfully, I had not yet formally arranged for housing, so her…-

Chapter 24. A Win-Win I smiled inwardly. Finally, the game I had been setting up was in motion. “You mean the formula,” I said. “Yes. Name your price,” the Marquis replied. “No, I cannot sell the formula,” I responded firmly. A furrow appeared on the Marquis’s brow. A young person he had taken a liking to was now acting like a shrewd merchant, and he felt disappointed. However, I had no intention of haggling with him. The Marquis stroked his beard thoughtfully, his voice…-

Chapter 23. A Mother’s Legacy That evening was much like any other. Despite eating a light, easily digestible meal, the Marquis of Ivelucia still felt bloated and uncomfortable. He hadn’t touched his favorite alcohol in years. Instead, he spent his time in the small study attached to their shared bedroom, reviewing manuscripts. Sunk into a deep green armchair the color of crushed leaves, the Marquis diligently marked up the pages in front of him. His red-inked pen slashed through sentences…-

Chapter 22. Alone Winter was nearing its end. The coldest days had passed, and people exchanged pleasantries while talking about the approaching spring. The Marchioness of Ivelucia carefully stepped down from her carriage, feeling a faint pang of guilt for visiting Rooney Orphanage after such a long absence. Of course, she had a reason for her infrequent visits—she had slipped on ice earlier in the season, twisting her ankle. This had confined her to her estate throughout the winter. Enduring…-

Chapter 21. Another Purpose The employee from Livre Bookstore guided me to the Arabek Appraisal House. The appraisal house had undergone a transformation. It seemed Yona had been inspired by Livre’s festive year-end decorations. White elephant mobiles no bigger than a fist and golden ribbons now adorned the high ceiling, making it resemble a sky filled with shooting stars. As I stood dazed, gazing up at the transformed space, I was gently nudged toward the elevator I had used during my last…-

Chapter 20. The Scoundrel A few days after Neumonte Acarlipto stole Mine Molière’s lips, he sent her a bouquet and a bottle of perfume as a gift. While Mine, enchanted by the heady scent, fluttered with excitement, two women met their misfortune. The maid who had delivered the script to Mine developed a severe skin condition, her face pockmarked beyond recognition. Meanwhile, the maid serving Princess Agnès died after her tongue swelled from an allergic reaction, blocking her airway and…-

Chapter 19. The Prelude to Tragedy "To not only slander Princess Agnès but also a poor maid…" "What’s the difference between her and an ungrateful beast?" Mine could no longer stand upright. There wasn’t a single ally in sight. Although she was surrounded by people, every one of them carried a dagger in their words. Even the slightest misstep—no, even a single breath—would be seized upon as a reason to condemn her. Amid the tense atmosphere, Agnès spoke. "Take Mine to the 'Chamber…-

Chapter 18. Shattered to Pieces "Drunken fool." The sharp voice slithered into my ears, dull and sluggish. My throat was parched, my head pounding. "A reckless drunk with no sense." "Ugh… what… now…" I managed to move my stiff lips just enough to mumble, and something cold pressed against my cheek. "Hmph. I told you not to show off. That’s the kind of liquor only a lunatic like Ralpido would drink!" I was lying on a bed. The mattress felt soft, cozy, and faintly scented with…-
