Chapter 10 Varkan stood at the exact spot where the Princess had fallen moments earlier, his face drained of color. The cliff was so deep that he couldn't even see the bottom. His voice had torn through the space between the cliffs, echoed around the mountains, and returned to him. Then— “Huh? Grand Duke?” A bright, perfectly carefree voice rose from directly below the cliff. Varkan lowered his head further, and his eyes met the Princess's blue eyes as she clung tightly to the rock…-

Chapter 9 “Ahh, the air is so fresh!” When I arrived at the entrance to the Fedrika Mountains, I spread my arms wide and took a deep breath. The air was so cold and sharp that it prickled my lungs, but the scent of trees and earth mingled within it, making my heart flutter with excitement once again. Whoosh, haah, whoosh, haah. After breathing in the familiar scent of the forest several times, I finally took in the sight of the enormous snow-covered mountains of the Fedrika…

Chapter 8 A few days later. In the end, the knights were punished. Their punishment was to climb to the summit of the Pedrica Mountains, where magical beast sightings were relatively rare in the North, while carrying full combat gear, and then return. According to Celine, it wasn't quite painful enough to kill them, but it was the kind of punishment that could make them suffer right up until the moment they wished they were dead. And naturally, I changed into training clothes, put on a thick…

Chapter 7 The Grand Duke's office, which I was entering for the first time, was the North in its purest form. Cold, rigid, and orderly. Dark reddish-brown wooden bookshelves covering the walls, a gray carpet, a desk piled high with documents, and a fireplace blazing brightly. Aside from the guest sofa I was sitting on and the table directly in front of me, there was hardly any furniture to speak of. I had put on the dress I had worn when I first arrived at the Grand Ducal Residence. Having…

Chapter 6 After returning to the Grand Ducal Residence, I changed back into my maid's uniform and clung to the outer wall of the Grand Ducal Residence once again. In the morning, I had cleaned the windows on the western outer wall. This time, it was the eastern outer wall. Perhaps it was because I had gone sightseeing around the Grand Duke's territory earlier. My movements were smoother than they had been that morning, as though my joints had been freshly lubricated. “Hehe, Princess!…

Chapter 5 My sharply edged voice dropped into the narrow, dark alley. “What are you looking at?” At that, one of the man's eyebrows shot upward. Since everything except his eyes was covered, I couldn't see his expression, but his gaze clearly seemed to say that he found my question utterly absurd. Sweat slowly seeped from my palm, which was gripping the tree branch, and soaked into my glove. A thought crossed my mind. Could he be one of the guild members sent by the suspicious…

Chapter 4 “Ah, I finally feel alive again!” I hummed to myself as I vigorously moved both arms. Scritch, scritch. A cheerful scraping sound echoed from the cold, frozen windowpane. Every spot I wiped became crystal clear, without a single smudge remaining. The muscles that had stiffened after being cooped up in bed for an entire week were pleasantly stretched. The slight stimulation made me feel as though an old knot in my body had finally been released. Come to think of…

Chapter 3 At the same time. The Millidren Mountains in the North. Clang—! A tremendous roar erupted as a massive blade collided with the scythe-like foreleg of a magical beast. “Kiaaaaargh!” The hideous insect-like magical beast, nearly three meters tall, tumbled backward with a pained scream. Its severed foreleg spun uselessly through the air before crashing into the snow. At the same time, dark red blood sprayed across the white snowfield. “Do you want to…

Chapter 2 Rattle—! The carriage jolted violently. Despite the dull vibration traveling up through the seat and into my hips, I didn't take my eyes off the scenery outside the carriage window. It was the first time I had seen the outside world in a week. I had never realized how refreshing fresh air could be. A week ago, I had been dragged away by a group of mysterious men and locked inside an unknown hideout. They had also taken the bag containing my medicinal herbs, poisonous herbs, and…

Chapter 1 My corpse had been casually discarded halfway up the mountain. Like food for wild beasts. I realized that at dawn that day. “Cough, cough-cough—, kheuk—!” The moment I felt a burning sensation as though the root of my tongue were being scorched, a lump of blood surged up from my throat. The ground beneath me was cold and damp. Without even thinking to wipe the blood from my lips, I stared blankly at the clump of blood that had spilled onto the ground. Ssssss—. The…
