Azphira Tales

Dianna always believed she would live as a noble and die as a noble. Yet she wanted to forge a new life. She couldn't alter her ultimate fate, but she wanted to shift its path. Just as she had done when she revived Philip. For that reason, she intended to marry someone else once she set Guiscard free. Someone other than Ferdinand. Perhaps a foreign noble rather than a lord of Panborough. At that time, Dianna also thought of Philip. He was the only element that had changed wit

[Philip] "Ann…… I, I……" His voice trembled, and she blinked. His breathing shook. Tears filled his eyes. The hand stroking her hair was gentle. Dianna closed her eyes. The warmth washed over her. Why is he doing this now? She was exhausted from her conversation with Emil. Participating in the Ball of Tali had also drained her mental energy. She had no desire to speak with Philip right now. Has the snow frozen my heart? Even though I am happy, I am just tired of this now. [Phi

[Saruvia] "Duke Brienne brought those priests here in the first place! Lady Brienne knew in advance what they valued! Perhaps the priests even told her beforehand!" [Crowd] "What blasphemy!" [Crowd] "Apologize to the priests at once!" Huh? This is wrong. Saruvia opened her eyes wide. Isn't it obvious? The Duke specifically brought these priests. It is only natural that they judge Dianna favorably. Doesn't anyone else understand this concept? Why are they acting like this? Inc

After greeting the audience, Dianna left the stage without a single shred of regret. Her performance left a deep impression, but Levian’s dance did as well. Everyone discussed the excellence of Levian’s performance. Dianna's dance didn't trigger intense discussion like Levian's did. A few people gathered around Dianna. [Celano] "You will win, My Lady." Lady Celano approached and spoke kindly. Dianna opened her eyes wide. They lacked the close relationship required to exchange

Before stepping out to dance, Dianna looked at Guiscard. He wore a surprised expression upon seeing her attire. It made perfect sense. He stared at her face, which was painted with bright red lipstick. Because she was a modest young lady who had not yet debuted in high society, the outfit kept skin exposure to a minimum, yet Dianna still couldn't adapt to these flowing garments. Guiscard stared at her blankly for a moment. [Guiscard] "My Lady." [Dianna] "Are you feeling alrig

[Lady 1] "I am speaking of Lady Brienne. My goodness, they say she will enter the Ball of Tali." [Lady 2] "What? She hasn't even made her debut in high society yet!" Inside the Duke's castle, young ladies who had already made their debut in high society played a card game. During the snowy winter, when outdoor activities were impossible, the ladies gathered together for small amusements. In one corner of the lounge, some guests drank tea. Lady Levian, sat right next to the ca

A single beam of light barely entered the dusty storeroom through a small window. The slave carried his master into his own space. Dianna lay unconscious. Guiscard checked her breathing; she was alive. The realization that she was merely asleep brought relief. He knew he could return his unconscious master to her own quarters—her magnificent bedroom. He also knew he could seek help from nobles of her status. Yet he didn't do so. As he prepared to lay her down, he noticed the

Dianna let out a sigh at the sight of Guiscard kneeling before her. A large man bowed before a small girl; she closed her eyes. [Dianna] "Right. You had no choice." [Guiscard] "……." [Dianna] "I am your best option." He looked up at her words. It was the truth. Guiscard stared at Dianna with a blank expression. He shook his head as if to deny it and spoke. [Guiscard] "No. I……" [Dianna] "Guiscard. It is fine." She understood because she was an adult now. This was exactly why th

Dianna didn't leave her room due to her physical injuries. While staying inside, she turned various thoughts over in her mind—her past, her emotions, and what she should do next. First of all, she had successfully changed fate. Philip's survival stood as clear proof. Through this victory, she realized that the word of God declaring fate unchangeable was flawed. Still, ignoring the prophecy remained impossible. If fate repeats itself, will I meet that woman again? What could b

How sweet and beautiful she looks. Dianna stared at the young lady's face. The pale face shone brightly, and the pink hair resembled candy. Even the jade eyes enhanced her beauty. Saruvia exuded a vibrant life, a stark contrast to Dianna, who looked like a faded doll. [Dianna] "……." When she remained silent, Lady Levian tilted her head. She couldn't move her mouth. A single mistake would let a stream of insults pour out against the lady. She focused solely on suppressing her

The sight of Philip brought a wave of relief; survival was real. When facing the snake monster head-on, death loomed certain. Fighting the beast required everything Dianna had. If the monster had not let its guard down, her own head would have rolled. Dianna was alive. Safe at last. Her breathing slowed. [Philip] "Ann…… you must be terrified." Philip pulled her into a tight embrace. Though held in a warm embrace, her gaze drifted over Philip's shoulder toward the fallen monst

Guiscard wore a look of confusion after listening to Dianna. Was she sane? Or was she still dreaming after waking up? He studied her condition. She showed no signs of seeing hallucinations. Her eyes remained perfectly clear. [Dianna] "We can't stay here forever. We must eat and sleep. This forest is cold." [Guiscard] "......." [Dianna] "I trust Philip, but we must also consider the possibility that rescue will not arrive. No one knows what will happen once night falls." Phili

Dianna wept for a long time. Guiscard quietly watched her shaking shoulders. He had never seen she cry like this before. Her tears refused to stop despite her efforts. Just then, he listened closely to the sounds outside. [Guiscard] "Don't cry." [Dianna] "……Waaah!" Stripped of her usual composure, she looked no different from Alexa. However, while Alexa wept while blaming others, she blamed herself. She had been incredibly foolish. Then he spoke up again. [Guiscard] "My Lady,

A cutting wind sliced off the head of the rabbit monster, the Lepus. However, Sylph was only one spirit, and a Lepus leaping at Dianna's arm bit the girl's shoulder. Crunch! Blood sprayed. She clenched her teeth against the immense pain. Sylph quickly severed the necks of the remaining Lepus. [Guiscard] "My Lady!" Guiscard shouted, grabbing her hand. White, snowball-like creatures rolled out from the brush. They were cute in appearance, but the sight sent chills down the spin

Taillach began smoothly. The festival followed the footsteps of Tali, the Goddess of Winter. Following the path of the winter goddess who once wielded a ruthless spear to purge all evil, the travelers walked along the snowy walkway. Dianna, wearing a red fur hat, looked toward the window. Snowflakes fell, one by one, then two by two. The sky already wore an ink-black hue. [Dianna] "Aren't you cold?" She asked Guiscard, who stood beside her. Dianna wore a costly, bright red fu

[Anders] "Can you keep our meeting a secret from your father?" Dianna nodded at his request. The scandal involving Emil undoubtedly strained the relationship between her grandfather and her father. She couldn't predict how her father would react if he discovered she met her grandfather in secret. Fearing her father might uncover the truth, Dianna wandered through various merchant shops today, using a casual outing as her perfect alibi. [Dianna] "Then, how will Barot teach swo
