[Odette] "You said your three years of contempt ended easily. So wouldn't an affection of that level end even more lightly?" [Zion] "Albrecht, rather than insulting someone's sincerity, just say you hate me. Then I wouldn't be this angry." [Odette] "There is no need to erase an oath made in God's name for a fleeting emotion—" [Zion] "Odette." He interrupted her with a sweet voice. Before she could even realize what it was, his purple eyes instantly shone with a deep golden hu

[Odette] "Go outside the room, Karl." She ordered him with a face that had become even colder. Then Zion's mood improved even further. It seems that guy Karl doesn't know as much about revenge as I do. Because it became certain that only he was still connected to Odette. Once Karl vacated his spot, Zion completely regained his composure. Therefore, he spoke in a light, joking tone. [Zion] "Why did you accompany Karl? I would have been better than someone like Fenrir. Weren't

The Count's entire body trembled violently. Transcendents instinctively hid their intimidating aura to win the favor of a Purifier. They showed a docile attitude not only to the Purifier but also to their families. Therefore, this was the first time the Count had experienced it. The overwhelming hostility and intimidation of the monsters directed at him. His lungs constricted, making even breathing feel like a struggle. Like a frog in front of a snake, only the survival insti

[Horse] "Hieeeegh!" At the sight of the horse galloping like mad, the coachman and horses pulling the Temple carriage hurriedly backed away. [Coachman] "W-What is that!" [Priest] "D-Dodge! If we get hit, we're dead!" Due to the commotion, even the High Priests and the Pope had no choice but to evacuate noisily. Thanks to that, a path opened up in front of Odette for a moment. [Horse] "Hieeeegh!" Into that open space, the horse that had wreaked havoc on the road returned in an

Zion was in the process of reconstructing the Mind Control barrier on the outskirts of the capital. The task of creating a dense golden web to cover the capital like a dome. As a task only he could perform, not a single inch of error was tolerated. Several calamities, noticing the barrier being erected, attacked him agilely. Johan was dealing with the calamities beside him to ensure his concentration wasn't broken. Certainly, the completeness is far higher than what I was mak

[Tree] "Wake up, Odette." At someone's call, she opened her eyes and sat up. This place... is the space in my dreams I always see. However, unlike usual, not a single hornet existed. With the hornets gone, the vastness of this space stood out. Perhaps because of that, she felt isolated in the middle of an endlessly stretching desert. Looking at the distant horizon, she leaned on the tree beside her to stand up. Then, as she looked up at the tree, she was startled. Because the

Needing seed money, Ferdinand headed to his father's armory. He planned to take three or four hunting rifles and pawn them temporarily. He said a whopping 3,000 times, didn't he? Am I any less capable of winning than that Köndel guy? I'll just redeem them with the money I win. He conscientiously chose the ones that looked the oldest in the armory. Unaware of the fact that those were precisely the ones with immense historical value. [Ferdinand] "Odette, you need to go out wit

The Count was holed up in his office. He was busy trying to cover up his own scandal with the story of "Mad Witch Doly." He contacted every newspaper to spread more sensational news about her. He persuaded them to pull articles about the Invisible Count. He co-opted Doly's lawyer so that her testimony of the actual situation would be useless. He sent a separate letter to the judge to ensure a private trial. He would have needed ten bodies to handle it all. During that time, O

His move was faster than the sound of the chains hitting the deck with a thud. [Karl] "Do not touch Master." A low, threatening voice made Ferdinand's skin crawl. [Ferdinand] "Ugh, urgh! How dare you touch a noble's body? A slave bastard no different from livestock—" But he couldn't continue speaking. Because Karl bent his arm further, pushing it to a situation where the bone would break at any moment. This crazy bastard. How is he so brutally strong? [Odette] "Karl, he is my

[Becker] "Don't touch me! I said I'm pregnant! I'm sure it's a son!" Sasha, who had momentarily frozen at Mrs. Becker's shocking statement, barely managed to scream with a pale face. [Sasha] "Don't spout bullshit!" [Becker] "Call a physician. Because it's true I'm pregnant. It's been two months! We spent nights together every single time without a single empty date, so how could I not conceive?" [Sasha] "It's a lie!" Sasha reflexively retorted. However, her eyes were already

Every morning, the morning paper and Bible verses to be transcribed were sent into the monastery. Not a single person came to visit the Countess at the monastery, and her only means of contact with the world was the newspaper. Thus, she naturally learned of the Count's affair. As soon as she saw the news, anger surged within her, and she wanted to leave the monastery immediately, but there was absolutely no way to escape. If only someone, anyone, would get me out of here. Whe

[Rudolf] "W-What did you say?" [Odette] "However, I couldn't possibly decide which of your chokers to open. So, discuss it between you soulmates and decide. I will follow your decision." At that, Doly and Rudolf, faces pale, slowly turned their heads toward each other. Tension-filled gazes were exchanged. Wondering what the other was thinking, Rudolf swallowed hard. Gulp. [Odette] "Your relationship is strong enough to promise marriage, isn't it? We arrive at the port tomorro

The next day, two headlines in the morning paper heated up Athena Island. One was a heartwarming article about Odette, the Empire's greatest villainess, saving and treating the residents of Athena Island. The other was a scandal involving Count Albrecht, who had been revered as a model of nobility and an ideal man of character. Of the two news items, the one that garnered an overwhelmingly explosive reaction was undoubtedly the latter. In scandals of this nature, the woman us

Why, why... why isn't the woman Odette? The woman, who had been wearing a dress, quickly returned to a decent appearance just by lowering her skirt hem. However, the man still had his trousers off. This meant it was difficult for him to tidy up his clothes immediately. [Reporter] "Look over here!" Moreover, the man, flustered and clumsy, even tumbled to the floor with a thud. But he was not the most flustered person in this place. That person was Rudolf. H-How is the Count he

[Mueller] "We barely managed to crawl to the shelter, but there were no herbs, no physicians. A calamity occurred just when the only physician on this island had gone inland. My wife came to her hometown for recuperation because she was pregnant, and to think something like this would happen….." There was no sign of deception in his expression. If his story were true... why on earth did Charlotte do such a thing? Odette was confused. His wife dying at the shelter was an event
