Chapter 4 A maid named Sophia entered carrying a towel. Apparently, she had been the winner of the little argument from earlier. Without even glancing at Shuri, Sophia placed the towel on a small wooden stool beside the bathtub. At the same time, she kept stealing glances at Asad’s naked body. A bead of sweat fell from Asad’s black hair onto his face. When he lazily swept his hair back with his long fingers, moisture gathered on his hand as well. Even those beads of sweat looked as…-

Chapter 3 ‘I’m going to die of embarrassment…’ Along with the pile of worthless junk inside, Mia’s pride came crashing down onto the floor. A glove Asad had lost at some point. A napkin he had used to wipe his mouth. Even the crumpled pamphlet he had left behind after watching a play. All kinds of miscellaneous objects associated with Asad were overflowing from the box. There appeared to be more than ten pen nibs engraved with the Uliel family crest alone. “What is this?” Asad…

Chapter 2 Just a little while earlier, Lisicha had been sprawled face-down at the foot of the stairs, begging for mercy. The person standing before him was the young and fearsome Imperial executioner, Grand Duke Asad Uliel. Thirty grim-faced guards stood behind him. “Y-Your Grace, please. I beg you to extend the deadline.” Asad approached Lisicha with the light, graceful steps of a swift leopard. He drew the sharp longsword at his waist. Valentina, who had barely managed to remain standing…

Chapter 1 Just a few hours earlier. Mia had been staring at herself in the mirror, smiling the entire time. ‘If this is what possessing someone feels like, I’d do it a hundred times!’ That was Ha-yoon’s first-day impression after possessing the body of an insignificant noble lady named Mia Lisicha. She liked the sandy-colored hair that reached her waist and the lively light-green eyes, but what she liked most were her smooth, petal-like cheeks. The scars on her face that had…

Prologue “I heard a strange noise, so I came to check… Is everything all right?” The elderly butler looked around Mia’s bedroom with a puzzled expression. It was a dark night. Candlelight flickered against the walls, and a feather quilt lay crumpled on the bed. Other than the fact that Mia Lisicha, the Grand Duke’s secretary, had unusually flushed cheeks, there was nothing particularly strange. Mia frantically waved both hands. “What do you mean, something happened? Nothing…

Chapter 42 Hedius was convinced. Because of that, I couldn't hide my frozen expression, but inwardly, I was quite impressed. …Not bad. To be honest, I felt like it wouldn't matter anymore even if he discovered my true identity. I was certain that Hedius wouldn't abandon me for that reason. And I had a vague feeling that, no matter what I told him now, he would believe me. I quietly caught my breath and wiped away my usual vacant, foolish expression. “Can you believe now that I came…-

Chapter 41 Because of Hedius’s attack, the ancient tree was burning fiercely, but the suspicious smoke was still flowing through the cracks that extended from its roots. He quickly picked Ibi up in his arms and retreated as far away from the demonic energy as possible. After carefully laying Ibi down on the ground, he stared at her with a bewildered expression. She had already closed her eyes and looked peaceful, as though she were asleep. Suddenly, he let out a hollow laugh. He had no idea…

Chapter 40 Meanwhile, in Ibi’s attic. The strong wind rattled the window violently, pounding against it as though it were about to break the glass. The latch was knocked loose, and the window swung wide open. As the wind rushed inside, passed through the thin curtains, and swept over Ibi’s body, the bedsheet fluttered before falling to the floor. At that moment— Ibi, who had been sleeping with both hands neatly folded over her stomach, opened her eyes. —Find… him… At the…

Chapter 39 Hedius narrowed his eyes and raised his palm upward, giving a signal. At once, the bandits who had been there rushed forward. “Search for Mark, the source and instigator of this strange rumor, and find him as quickly as possible.” A search order had been issued against an ordinary villager who wasn’t even a member of the Shadow Bandits. The bandits exchanged confused whispers. “Mark did incite everyone, but did he really commit such a serious offense that the Chief…

Chapter 38 “I’m a Saintess?” Ibi slowly blinked her eyes. Her expression seemed to say that she had merely been traveling with Leo, so why were they suddenly saying something so strange? At that moment, Mark pushed his way out from among the crowd of people who had rushed over. “Please don’t pretend you don’t know, Saintess. I saw it clearly with my own two eyes. I witnessed you saving Joseph, who was dying inside the magical-item storage warehouse.” He spoke calmly, even going…
