Chapter 23 Hedius let out a deep sigh as he became aware of someone watching him intently. “Ibi is staring at you, Chief.” “…I know.” “Judging by those sparkling eyes, she looks like she’s about to charge at you any second.” “But didn’t she just do that a little while ago…?” “No, this time I think it’s going to be a back hug. Earlier, didn’t she pretend to trip in front of you? So this time, she’s aiming for your back.” Indeed. Ibi, who was hiding…-

Chapter 22 Imperial studies, history, art, court etiquette, philosophy, law, the Imperial language, and countless other subjects…. A woman carrying a stack of thick books piled one on top of another placed them down on the desk with a thud. This was the library in the northern mansion, where Hedius's study was located. Although she was around fifty years old, she maintained an elegant, upright posture and an appearance that made her look younger than her age. She was Leo's tutor—the woman…

Chapter 21 In a dark alley where danger lurked around every corner. There stood the shabby signboard of an isolated merchant guild, creaking unpleasantly in the wind. “Hmm…. It’s gloomy no matter how many times I come here.” Viscount Chester shuddered as he knocked on the door. Almost immediately, a small window opened—just large enough to reveal a pair of eyes—and a man with a long scar over one eye spoke. “State your identity.” “Ahem. I am Viscount Chester. I have…

Chapter 45 “Wait! Is that…!” Ha Seong-dan immediately recognized the ring he had spent years desperately searching for. Seong-ha looked at Ha Seong-dan, who stood there with his mouth hanging open, unable to get the words out, as though mocking him. Then, with deliberate kindness, she took the ring out of the box. “Here. Why don’t you try it on?” “Ha Seong-ha! You, you…!” “Is this really a ring I’m allowed to accept…?” Without even looking at Ha Seong-dan, who…-

Chapter 44 After Yoo Eun-ah left the workshop, Seong-ha was busy crafting weapons with the blood she had collected in the mug, intending to raise her skill levels. Just as she finished making another A-rank bow with blood drawn using a dropper and propped it against the wall, Quasar’s window appeared in her field of vision. “Is he crazy? Ha Seong-dan? Why would he go there?” For a moment, Seong-ha thought she had read it wrong. But the name displayed on the blue window was…

Chapter 43 “How did you end up getting hurt like this?! If you’d gone even a little deeper, it could have been really serious, Guild Master…” Seong-ha let out a silent sigh as she watched Yoo Eun-ah treat her arm with tears welling in her eyes. It was her own mistake for not considering that someone might come all the way here looking for her. Yoo Eun-ah normally never left her dormitory, so Seong-ha had essentially assumed that the guild headquarters was empty. That was why she had…

Chapter 42 Seong-ha was lost in thought for a moment. This was not something she could decide easily considering the circumstances. Of course, she would benefit from having stronger guild members, since she wanted to make the guild as powerful as possible. However, with so much attention currently focused on Ha Seong-ha, if something happened to the guild members outside the headquarters, the situation could easily spiral out of control. After organizing her thoughts, Seong-ha opened her…

Chapter 41 Deneb pressed both hands against her tired eyes and sank into her office chair. She had just finished a grueling meeting with Cygnus’s executives, leaving her mentally exhausted. Only Deneb and Altair, who was responsible for guarding her back, remained in the silent office. Deneb spun her chair around and stared through the glass window behind her. Even in the darkness, her red eyes gazed down at the dazzling nightscape of the Underground Market blooming far below. “Altair,…

Chapter 40 After finishing what she had to do at Cygnus, Seong-ha rose from her seat. “Then I think everything between us is settled now, so I’ll be going.” “Didn’t you say you were curious about the items in the Underground Market? If you stay here, I can bring you the catalog containing only the items Cygnus has carefully selected, along with whatever you want.” “No, it’s fine.” Deneb, reluctant to let Seong-ha leave just like that, tried to stop her, but Seong-ha…

Chapter 39 “You didn’t reject them on purpose, did you?” Deneb’s sharp gaze carefully examined Seong-ha’s expression, but Seong-ha remained comfortably leaning back against the sofa with her legs crossed as she answered. “No, of course not. I gave you an answer after thinking it through thoroughly.” “And you’re saying you don’t like any of those weapons? They’re all weapons that are at least A-rank!” “Then I suppose your eye for weapons is lacking. You prepared…
