Wow....... Roserikta admired the woman silently, over and over. How could anyone look like that? Princess Aika of the Grand Duchy of Iveton looked exactly like a female version of Kalart. The combination of brilliant platinum blonde hair and clear, bright blue eyes was dazzling. Even if someone claimed she was a witch, she would fit in perfectly. Her calm, cream-colored dress lacked any flashy decorations, yet it combined with her picture-perfect looks to reveal a bright, ele

[Elona] "Eeeek......!" She was incredibly excited. She had gone out earlier that day on an errand, and she reported that a massive rumor had gripped the capital. [Elona] "Don't even get me started. Everyone is talking about it. This is definitely because Sir Hailey has been gossiping everywhere. I am absolutely sure of it." The rumor concerned a blue diamond of monstrous size, set to arrive at Hailey's Jewelry Shop very soon. The client who ordered the gem was none other than

[Mazi] “It must be here.” Mazi's magic finally led them to the library. While the capital possessed a massive Imperial Library, the library within the palace was smaller and exceptionally beautiful. The ceiling painting stood out most of all. Over thirty court painters had worked across three generations, starting from the reign of Raquelman II, to finish it. It was a masterpiece, but few people noticed it daily. Most avoided looking up for too long, as the height strained th

Roserikta ended up lying side by side with Kalart, held fast in his embrace. The bandages wrapped around his body scratched her cheek softly. Tears threatened to spill. Kalart had suffered a major injury, yet he remained strong, holding her as tenderly as always. Roserikta felt the bed, warmed by his body heat, wrap around her. She had never felt this close to him before. [Roserikta] "Moving your arm like that isn't good for the wound on your back." [Kalart] "I hate just watc

Roserikta glared at the Baroness. [Roserikta] "You've lost your mind. Are you trying to do now what you failed to do then? It won't work. The situation is different. Do you think the Emperor will just stand by and watch this?" [Neira] "My fiancé says he must. He says it is the path for everyone to suffer together. Isn't that right?" The Baroness lifted Kalart's chin with a single finger. [Neira] "Now, tell that little girl. Tell her you proposed to me. And tell her you did it

The Chamberlain bellowed this time. [Lafitte] "The Black Witch! What on earth is that!" [Elona] "Oh, that's......" This explanation threatened to drag on forever. [Roserikta] "We don't have time for this. Saving people from the curse comes first. Sir Kiden, do you have any Kitang?" The Royal Physician immediately shook his head. He had suffered under the Head Maid's sharp tongue for far too long. [Physician] "No, I have never even seen such a thing, let alone hidden it away t

Arad gritted his teeth. While it was fortunate that the Emperor believed Clobellina's story, no one expected it to cause this kind of trouble. [Arad] "Your Majesty. Please move with the Royal Guard first. I will bring the Baroness myself." No curse existed that simply made a person lose their mind. Therefore, Arad guessed that the "evil entity" the cat mentioned was the Baroness herself. A Servel Tiger? This was no ordinary wickedness. [Belto I] "What are you saying! Do you e

[Eaton] "This is madness!" His voice thundered with outrage. [Eaton] "A Servel Tiger! How can this be a duel? Not even the slave gladiators across the sea in Darya are forced to face such a thing!" The Emperor shared this shock. He only intended to settle a wedding date, he never harbored even a shred of desire to put his son's life at risk. [Belto I] "Neira! What have you done? A Servel Tiger! How could you bring such a beast into the palace!" The Baroness raised her green e

[Roserikta] "You can come out now." Inside the bedroom, she pulled the country mouse from the folds of her skirt. [Mouse] "Squeak! It's big, big!" [Roserikta] "Indeed. It's a lavish room." However, no signs of newly added items appeared. While the furniture and bedding looked expensive, nothing was new. [Roserikta] "The room sits silent, like a place left empty for a long time. Don't you agree?" [Mouse] "Squeak. Right, right." The room felt far too still for a space occupied

Clobellina flicked her paw at Belto I, signaling him to lower his head. Belto I panicked in utter confusion before collapsing onto the floor. His eyes widened. A plump, glossy black cat filled his vision. Nothing but Clobellina occupied his sight. [Clobell] "You know it by now, but I'm no ordinary cat." [Belto I] "I, I believe you......." [Clobell] "I'm a fairy cat. As you know, when humans drove out the witches, all similar beings left the human world. Our fairy cats all dep
