Chapter 7 If only thorns would sprout from that chair… Carnike glared resentfully at the offending chair, but soon changed her mind. Anyone else might have been deterred, but if it was this Crown Prince, Carnike felt that whether thorns sprouted from the chair or blades were embedded in it, he would force her to sit down anyway. Carnike quietly took her seat, folded her hands over her lap, and lowered her head as respectfully as possible. Not making eye contact is the basic rule of…-

Chapter 6 In her desperation, even the most ridiculous ideas had begun to seem like brilliant solutions. However, before Carnike could go looking for some plaster, she heard a knock at the door. It was Priest Felis. “Priest Felis!” Carnike approached Felis as though she had found a ladder at the bottom of a cliff. As a High Priest, he was also close to Duke Reinach, and Carnike believed he was one of the few people who knew her secret. She could trust him. Surely Priest Felis would be…

Chapter 5 When Carnike’s hair was almost caught in the fine-toothed comb, Lia let out a startled squeak and quickly pulled her hand away. “Saintess! That was close.” “Lia, how can you always be so calm? I’ve always wondered. Don’t you ever think I’m ridiculous?” “Me?” Lia’s eyes widened as she shrugged, as though she had just heard the strangest thing in the world. “How could I ever dare think such a thing about you, Saintess? Why would you say that?” “No……

Chapter 4 “Is that true?” “Yes, Your Imperial Highness.” The furrow between Theophista’s brows deepened. “Duke Reinach brought in the next Saintess, you say…” “Isn’t he someone who would be unlikely to resort to such a scheme?” Cullen asked. Theophista did not answer. Instead, he flicked the reins again, and the clopping of the horse’s hooves resumed. Theophista, who was riding ahead of Cullen, muttered under his breath. “He isn’t the sort to do something…

Chapter 2 Carnike followed Duke Reinach and sat down at the table. Only then did she notice the gifts the Emperor’s attendant had left behind, still sitting there untouched. Embarrassed, Carnike cleared her throat. “I’ll have the table cleared.” “No, there’s no need. I have a meeting with the officials soon, so I can’t stay long anyway. Besides, I came because there’s something important I need to tell you.” Something important? Carnike tilted her head and looked at the…

Chapter 1 It all began with a single word spoken by a single person. “A twenty-year-old maiden living in a village called Lillet in the northwestern region of the Empire is suitable to become the next Saintess. Bring her here.” A bead of sweat rolled down the forehead of the woman who continued speaking with her knees on the floor and her head bowed. “She alone shall truly glorify the name of the God Elkiel.” The Emperor, who had relied entirely on the Saintess’s oracles for as long as…

Chapter 13 Taking advantage of a brief lull in the blizzard, Varkan and I descended the mountain. It was already well past midnight. The path down the mountain was pitch-black, so I clung to Varkan's forearm like it was a lifeline as we made our way down. Yet the Grand Ducal Residence in the distance was unbelievably bright. It looked almost like a lighthouse spotted in the middle of a stormy sea at night. Despite the late hour, the people of the Grand Ducal Residence were still…-

Chapter 12 “…Yes?” When I stupidly asked back with a blank expression, Varkan slightly furrowed his brow as though I were being a nuisance. A cold drop of water fell from the tip of his wet hair. “I said, take it off.” “……” I stared up at Varkan with wide eyes. What? Is this some kind of northern-style flirting? Just like that, with no context?! It was an exceedingly lewd thing to say. But even so, this suddenly?! Until just a moment ago, I had thought of…

Chapter 11 I was practically dragged along by Varkan, clinging to his thick forearm. A fierce blizzard lashed my face so violently that I couldn't even open my eyes. It wasn't until we entered a cave that I was finally able to see again. “We should take shelter here until the blizzard dies down.” Varkan spoke indifferently as he brushed the snow piled on top of his head from his hair. “There are shelters like this scattered throughout the Fedrika Mountains in preparation for the God's…
