Time passed, and the night set in. Seol Jihu wondered if he would have to see Yun Seohui again at dinner, but she did not show herself. According to her attendant, she still wasn’t feeling well from the motion-sickness and planned to skip dinner. Seol Jihu ate to his heart’s content and headed to the basement to relieve the day’s fatigue by using the hot spring that an Alchemist was hired to construct. ‘The first floor was for men, the second floor was for women, right?’ He checked…-

Seol Jihu doubted his eyes for a moment. ‘That woman.’ He knew her. In fact, he had met her personally and even held a conversation with her. Not in Paradise, but on Earth. “This is the second time, right?” The woman who suddenly appeared at the cafe where he was meeting with his older brother. It was Sinyoung’s CEO, Yun Seohui. ‘Ah.’ Kim Hannah who was standing like a statue finally snapped back. “Oh, what am I doing? Pardon me, I was just too surprised.” She…

“That is something neither Sorg Kühne nor Evangeline Rose could do.” Jung Sua’s pupils trembled. She looked very moved. “Yes, you are certainly not Evangeline Rose, but you are like a mother to me.” “Queen…” “Come closer.” The queen spread her arms out, and Jung Sua walked into her embrace as if she’d been waiting for it. “After losing your parents at a young age, you stood back up by yourself and came all the way here. I’ve always been thankful for that.”…

“Golden Lion, huh.” After staying silent until now, Kim Hannah spoke up for the first time. “That’s one of the better names.” “Right? Right?” Maria rejoiced when Kim Hannah took her side. Then, she sent Seol Jihu a gloating smile. “Let me ask just to be sure…” Clack, clack. Kim Hannah walked over to Maria and placed her hand on Maria’s head. “When you say Golden Lion, you mean the animal, right?” “Hm?” “You didn’t say it to mean Buy Gold,…

Once the series of intense incidents finally came to a close, Carpe Diem regained its peaceful days. But a war didn’t end just because there was a victor. Dealing with the aftermath of a war was just as important as the victory itself. If Carpe Diem was satisfied just with defeating its enemy, it would not have such peaceful days later on because just like in Haramark, people would employ all sorts of methods to hinder them. But unlike back then, Carpe Diem now had Kim Hannah. Being the witty…

“Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!” Something shrieked and leaped out of the cracked egg like a flash of light. It was a frightening speed comparable to that of a bullet and caused everyone to draw away reflexively. ‘Ah!’ Its target was at the head of the table. Greatly startled, Seol Jihu twisted his body away, causing the thing to shoot past him by a hair’s breadth. Seol Jihu’s face went blank as he turned his head around. ‘Fast…!’ He couldn’t even make out its silhouette. If he…

“…I have a question.” After a long silence, Seol Jihu opened his mouth with his eyes still closed. “When did you decide to do this?” “When you accepted the royal family’s mission on your own and ordered everyone to start packing.” Kim Hannah replied in a quiet voice. The word ‘ordered’ dug into Seol Jihu’s conscience, making him bite his lower lip. “If I hadn’t decided on the spot and asked for everyone’s opinion….” Kim Hannah smacked her lips. “As I…

Dozens of papers were strewn across the streets. Seol Jihu had just returned to the city, but he could feel countless people stealing looks at him. The signs all over the city were screaming— that something unusual was happening. Seol Jihu picked up one of the papers lying on the ground. Soon, his eyes went wide before narrowing. The newspaper explained what had happened while he was gone. —While Carpe Diem’s main force left to complete the royal family’s mission, the Eva Alliance sent…

A group, led by a man wearing a black suit and a grey jacket, entered the building. “Hello.” The man lifted his hand in a greeting, with a cigarette in his mouth. “What’s with that face? Did you see a ghost?” The man joked, seeing the woman frozen in place like ice. Noah Freya stuttered. “You, you are…” “The Triads. Hao Win.” The clear answer made Noah Freya doubt her ears. “…No way. The guards were definitely…!” “Ah, those guys?” Hao Win smiled…

Darkness blanketed the city. Shrouded by the dusky light, Yang Yang was carefully observing the main gate of Carpe Diem’s building. Men who looked like members of the Triad were wandering in front of the gate. ‘Twelve at the main gate, eight on the roof…’ Counting the number of people guarding the area, Yang Yang furrowed his brows faintly. ‘That’s it?’ He had brought elites of the three organizations just to be safe, but now he was starting to lose steam.
