Chapter 16 “I can’t do it.” “What do you mean, you can’t? Why can’t you dissolve it? A subordinate contract is a forbidden art, you know. A forbidden art!” I barely managed to restrain myself from grabbing the Hero by the collar and shaking him as I shouted. Seeing me huffing angrily, High Priest Avilus spoke with a serious expression. “Princess, I believe this may also be an effect of the forbidden art.” “The Hero refusing?” “Yes. Most techniques designated as…-

Chapter 22 “Good morning, Your Highness!” I blinked my eyes open at Celine’s lively voice greeting me in the morning. “Mm. Good morning, Celine.” Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I sat up and leaned against the headboard. Then I noticed the maid who was tying back the curtains beside Celine and smiled brightly. “Good morning to you too, Ena. Nice to see you again today!” At that, Ena’s back, which had been holding the curtain tie, flinched. She creaked as she turned toward me. She…-

Chapter 21 My breath was coming hard. I rested my palm against the cold wall of the secret passage and remained bent over for a while. The inside of my throat was still stinging. Even though I had inhaled only a tiny amount of smoke made from Osnis venom. What a vicious poison. When I was poisoned several years ago, I had barely survived. I remembered the agony being absolutely horrific even then. Phew. After exhaling once, I started walking again. Before entering the secret passage,…

Chapter 20 One Hour Earlier I felt as though the entire herb shop building had shaken. In an instant, the man sitting beside me reflexively drew his sword and dashed toward the entrance of the stairs leading to the second floor. “What—what was that sound?!” I asked urgently. But the man merely lowered the tip of his sword toward the floor and stared up the staircase with cold eyes. “Stay still.” It seemed he was suppressing his instinct to leap up the stairs to the second…

Chapter 19 One Hour Earlier “Sleep well, Celine.” “Yes! You too, Your Highness!” Celine made sure I was settled comfortably before finally leaving the bedroom. The door closed completely, and the sound of Celine’s cute footsteps quickly faded away. After waiting for a moment, I checked the clock on the wall. It was already past midnight. All right. Time to make a move. I jumped out of bed and put on the gray cloak I had prepared beforehand. I pulled on gloves that…

Chapter 18 I quickly calmed the muscles in my face, straightened my back, and looked directly at the Emperor. Then I politely lowered my head and spoke. “May I dare to say something, Your Majesty?” At my audacious request, the Emperor’s eyes curved with interest. “Speak, Princess.” “First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for Your Majesty’s kindness in showing mercy even to me, who was brought here as a hostage from an enemy nation.” I continued…

Chapter 20 “You're saying he bought underwear?” “Yes. Four hundred pairs, to be exact.” “Four hundred!? You must be joking.” “I'm only reporting what I saw.” The Royal Palace knight receiving the report couldn't help but let out a hollow laugh. ‘It's clear the bastard has some way of making money on the lower floors, but he certainly has no concept of how to spend it. Well, I suppose Summoners are all like that.’ Who knew what kind of peaceful place they'd grown up…-

Chapter 19 “……Indeed, this is an unbelievable item to have obtained from the third floor of the Labyrinth.” Jeric let out a deep sigh as he looked over the miscellaneous items I had laid out. He seemed to have gone beyond surprise and simply accepted it. “An ability to improve items?” “Yes. When I hunt normally, I occasionally get much higher-grade materials. The probability is low, though.” “So that's why you learned Butchery? And that's why it took you so long to come…

Chapter 18 Eek!? Thud. The vampire bat that had tried to twist its body in midair suddenly stopped as though something had grabbed it, only to be pierced straight through by the spearhead flying toward it. Thump. The vampire bat fell to the cave floor, surrounded by countless corpses that appeared to belong to its kind. “Done.” It had been incredibly fortunate that I discovered a cave densely populated with vampire bats on the sixth day. ‘Looks like there aren't any…

Chapter 17 ‘This is amazing.’ A 10m³ spatial pouch that also served as waist armor. And on top of that, it was a hidden set item. Even after paying Lupes, the merchant, his 100-gold commission, I still had 50 gold in cash left over. ‘I wish things could keep going like this.’ I dreamed of that ridiculous wish with a satisfied smile, but then I remembered how many times I had nearly died to obtain these rewards, and I hesitated. But then— ‘So what?’ After all, being an…
