Chapter 116: The House of Ipheros (9)
When Carsein stepped out of the carriage, having cautiously gauged Harnie's mood, the scenery had already changed dramatically.
It seemed that during their awkward struggle, the carriage had almost reached the Ipheros Marquisate.
A sense of desolation and silence hung in the air, a heavy, oppressive feeling, almost suffoca...

Silence reigned within the carriage.
Only the rhythmic clip-clop of hooves against cobblestones, the gentle rumble of wheels, and a subtle vibration filled the air.
Harnie sat quietly, her gaze fixed on Carsein.
He looked up, sensing her stare.
“…Is there something on my face?”
“No.”
“Th...

Chirp- Chirp-
“Hmm… huh?”
Harnie stirred from her sleep, the cheerful chirping of sparrows penetrating the warmth of the blankets.
She blinked sleepily, watching the sunlight stream through the window, and the realization hit her like a bucket of cold water.
‘I slept in!’
She had intended to wak...

Honestly, when I received the episode objective to revitalize Lusmire, I was at a loss.
Dealing with the nobles was one thing, something I could handle with relative ease.
The monsters were another; with some foresight and preparation, I could minimize the damage.
But even with the funds I had secured from the Bagran...

After our encounter with Marquis Ipheros, Harnie and I rode towards Lusmire. A status window popped up as we made our way through the bustling streets.

Pollux stared at the offered hand, his brow furrowed in confusion.
‘An Imperial… offering me help?’
Impossible.
No Imperial citizen held any fondness for Yaricans.
But the hand wasn’t clenched into a fist. It held no weapon, and there was no threat in its gesture.
Just a calloused palm, bearing th...

Harnie's declaration left me speechless.
She squeezed my hand, explaining her reasoning.
“You were right. I’d rather be out here than stuck at the Marquisate, listening to my father's lectures. So I'm coming with you.”
“Do you… not have anywhere else to stay?”
“I do, but… I can’t go there righ...

Nobles.
Commoners revered them, envied them, even dreamed of becoming one. They were born into privilege, blessed with prestigious bloodlines, or so people said.
And it wasn't entirely untrue. To be born the child of a renowned general, a legendary hero, or a brilliant mage who unlocked the secrets of the universe, was a t...

Claire watched the carriage carrying Flora disappear down the road as a heavy weight settled in her chest.

Carsein's Kelbia allergy was a given, especially after witnessing that Memorial. The nobles would go to any lengths to force him to eat the poisoned food, and the system would undoubtedly exploit this opportunity to corner him.
But I had a plan.
A single, meticulously prepared item was all it took to turn the tables.

The atmosphere immediately turned sour as my opening jab landed squarely on its target.
‘This is what you nobles hate the most, isn’t it?’
Being put on the same level as a commoner like Carsein. Of course, they would loathe it.
They had committed countless atrocities to maintain their distance from him, and n...

To be honest, Aria didn't know much about the Demonic Cult.
She first encountered their name when the church messenger delivered the news of Eugene's death.
Whether it was a deliberate trap or a careless oversight, she didn't know. But the cult had planted a grimoire filled with dark magic in the academy library.

A melodic voice emanated from the communication device. Aria answered,

Eugene's funeral was a quiet affair.

Aria's hand trembled, causing the needle she had been meticulously guiding across the fabric to slip. Her eyes, however, remained fixed on Eugene, who had just delivered the news.
