Joo-hyuk hadn't failed to notice Moon Seok-ho's humiliation. He simply felt no reason to consider the other's feelings. With elegant nonchalance, Joo-hyuk's finger tapped rhythmically on his thigh, checking the metal watch on his wrist. His gesture, exuding boredom from the moment he sat down, seemed to measure how much unnecessary time he was wasting. Seok-ho's bushy eyebrows twitch involuntarily. He despised the innate aura of those born with a silver spoon, knowing it was something he could never…- 46.4 K • Ongoing
- The moment of stunned hesitation was fleeting. Seo-ha hastily concealed the tablet beneath her pillow once more before inquiring about the identity of the person knocking at her door. Her father never ventured to the second floor, so at this hour, the only likely visitor was the housekeeper. Yet, strangely, no response came. Reluctantly overcoming her laziness, Seo-ha descended from her bed. She paused briefly before the mirror to tidy her disheveled hair, then opened the door. To her astonishment,…

- Prosecutor General Na Sang-Hoon’s pushes his razor-thin glasses upward. Beneath his mask was a cunning and corrupt man. He was precisely the type of person Moon Seok-ho favored. Not unnecessarily upright or incorruptible, Prosecutor General Na was a man whose hand could be grasped when needed, yet who could also be manipulated through his weaknesses if he didn't comply.

- A thunderous sound echoed from somewhere. The noise was so loud it numbed her senses, drowning out even the sound of her own ragged breathing. The reverberations seemed to course through her entire body, tormenting Seo-ha. Was it from upstairs? Or perhaps the hallway? Where could such a deafening noise be coming from...? "You're frightened," came a man's voice. Ah, only then did she realize. The pounding, deafening sound, was the sound of her own heartbeat resonating from the left side of…

- On the rough, unyielding asphalt, being asked to kneel felt unbearable. The outdoor setting made her self-conscious, and the hard ground against her knees repulsed her. Yet, something else troubled her even more deeply. The man's words of disappointment struck fear into Seo-ha's heart. The mere thought of disappointing someone who had waited for her filled her with an inexplicable dread. In her small, barren world, she couldn't bear the idea of letting down someone who had chosen to…

"Chu chu chu chit!" Beatty laughed like a final boss, puffing out her white-furred chest and placing her tiny paws on her hips. 'The Fairy Stones they just mentioned... It must be the same ones Ritter used to brag about!' Her eyes sparkled as she recalled her knowledge about this special mineral - information that was highly classified at this time. The Last Fairy's Gift. That's what they called these Fairy Stones, and they possessed extraordinary powers. Like magic stones imbued with a…- 142.0 K • Ongoing
- At first, Seo-ha thought it was just a new congregant who hadn't yet acclimated, acting awkwardly due to poor timing. But even as other people's gazes were clearly focused on him, the man's eyes, hidden beneath his hat, remained fixed on her. Flustered, Sarah looked up at the stage in confusion. She sought to gauge her father's mood and await his instructions. But something felt off. Her father's gaze lingered on the face of the man wearing the deeply pressed hat. It was as if he was trying to…

- "He went to you?" Carl growled irritably, his face contorting with displeasure. He was about to storm off to reprimand the knights responsible for guarding Beatty when she gently tapped his arm to get his attention. "So, why is that Ritter... I mean, the Second Prince here?" "Just call him 'that bastard.'" Carl nodded with satisfaction at Beatty's clearly negative impression of Ritter revealed in her choice of words. "I heard he came to negotiate a reduction in the war participation…
