Chapter 13 To make matters worse, Zenos didn't even take his eyes off the documents he was examining. “Pardon?” Katarina stood there blankly, her long eyelashes fluttering in confusion. Only then did Zenos let out a deep sigh and finally turn his gaze toward her. His bluish-violet eyes were filled with nothing but a hint of annoyance, contempt, and irritation. How can he be so heartless?! In truth, his coldness wasn't anything new. Katarina had known him closely since childhood and…-

Chapter 12 Well, judging by how wildly he was flailing around, he didn't seem to be the Invisible Dragon… Apparently, the Invisible Dragon had once been his dream persona—his deepest, darkest embarrassment. “Who else saw it? Is there anyone besides you?! Ah! Don't tell me you showed it around to other people!” Maybe it felt like suddenly having the novel you'd written during your raging middle-school chuunibyou phase discovered out of nowhere. Usually, it would have been a Dark Flame…

Chapter 11 The maids' heads gathered in a little circle around mine. Indeed, some kind of image was being reflected on the surface of the silver cup filled with dark red wine. At first, it showed the backyard of our house. Then, as if someone were carrying a camera, the scene changed with startling vividness. It passed through the backyard, climbed a little way up the mountain path, crossed several ridges, and eventually revealed a wide clearing and a cliff. Inside that cliff was a gigantic…

Chapter 10 There was no mistaking Theopista’s distinctive low voice. Carnike tilted her head and continued walking along the narrow path between the buildings. As she approached the dim courtyard before dawn had even broken, the thunderous sound of hooves grew louder, almost as if it were covering her ears. Is he riding a horse at this hour? The moment Carnike passed through the gap between the buildings and stepped into the courtyard, a huge black shape came rushing toward her like an arrow…-

Chapter 9 Carnike blinked silently. What did I just hear? Did this man just say he intends to seize the Imperial Throne? Did I hear him correctly? “…You intend to seize the Imperial Throne.” “That is correct.” “But you are the Crown Prince, are you not?” Theopista folded his arms and crooked one eyebrow upward. “I am.” Carnike blinked for a moment, then asked again with an expression that clearly showed she could not understand. “The Crown Prince will…

Chapter 8 Of course, when Duke Reinach had taught her how to fabricate an oracle, he had specifically mentioned the weather. ‘From around this time until the wheat and rice harvests, everyone becomes sensitive to the weather. You know that too, don’t you?’ ‘Yes, I know. In the countryside, elderly people get up early every dawn to predict what the weather will be like.’ ‘Exactly. The capital is the same. So if you can’t think of anything else to make up, give an oracle concerning…

Chapter 20 10. The Princess Works Part-Time “Yay! I passed!” “Congratulations, Princess. You’ve worked very hard.” One written test and two practical tests. After taking a total of three exams, I finally got my horseback riding license, allowing me to ride a horse by myself! The practical test examiner wiped away tears of emotion as he personally handed me a small silver medal. “This is a Groxdel Empire horseback riding license. It’s an artifact, so please be careful not to…-

Chapter 19 Curry rice is a dish made by pouring curry over cooked rice. So the first thing I needed to do was wash the rice. The Hero would eat a lot, and Elmaren said she was staying for dinner too. This should be enough! I poured enough rice to fill half of a large cast-iron pot, gently washed it, and left it to soak for a while. “The chef brought quite a lot of vegetables. Let me help you, Lady Flur.” “Then could you peel the potatoes? Ah, no, Hero! You might break the cute…

Chapter 18 9. The Princess Who Cooks “Even after His Holiness the Pope stepped in, we still failed… This is serious, Lady Flur.” “It’s upsetting enough that we failed, but as you can see, we’ve got another problem now. Aaargh, this is so frustrating!” I was currently sitting on the Hero’s lap. Except when I was bathing, eating, or using the bathroom, I had been glued to the Hero for several hours. It was embarrassing and humiliating, but there was no helping it if I wanted to…

Chapter 17 8. The Pope and the High Priest’s Troubles After the Hero and the Princess left the temple, the Pope and the High Priest sat facing each other, unable to bring themselves to sleep. “Ugh, we spent all that energy today and got absolutely nothing out of it.” “It was a day when I painfully realized why the people of old sealed forbidden arts underground in the temple.” The subordinate contract was a vicious technique created thousands of years ago, back when slavery was legal…
