"....How was your training?" "It wasn't bad." I answered truthfully while massaging my neck. I was sore all over and I probably stunk a lot. ....Of that I was sure. Turning to look at Leon who was standing several steps away from me, I pursed my lips and tried my best to keep myself collected. 'He's doing it on purpose.' This guy... He didn't even give me the chance to properly rest before trying to piss me off. I knew I stunk, but he was definitely exaggerating. "Go take a shower. The…-

During the time Julien was training, significant changes occurred in the Evenus territory. In the first week of Julien's absence, the three neighboring baronies-Mainz, Hindua, and Kaliak—all attacked at once. Their target was Cleomia, the second territory owned by the Evenus Household. Cleomia wasn't as rich as Westernborn. There was no gold mine, nor was the land good for agriculture. However, it was located in an optimal spot, bordering one of the lands owned by the Thorn Rose Guild-one of the…

My body shuddered upon hearing his words. 'So he wants to take everything...' Leon and Evelyn both looked stunned by what the Head said, his nonchalant attitude only adding to his suffocating presence. It was as though he had said nothing of importance. I pursed my lips and talked, "....If you've already planned everything out, why do you need me and Leon to lead?" "Didn't I say so before?" Aldric carefully placed the teacup down. "I'm doing all of this to fix your reputation within…

"..." It was strange. Feeling the faint breeze coming from the open window and stretching my body, I felt weird. '.... Yeah, this is weird.' For the first time in a very long time, I woke up without any worries. I didn't need to think about my next fight nor did I have to think about some stupid quest that was hanging on my head like a reaper's scythe. It felt strangely comforting. First thing in the morning, my mood was great. 'I wish every day is like this.' "Huam." Stretching…

Clank- I closed the door behind me and headed for the bookshelf to retrieve a familiar diary. Click! Injecting my mana into it, the diary 'clicked' and opened. Scrolling through the pages, I read through them once again. 'Die! Die! Die! Die!' My eyes darted from left to right as I read through each page once again. I took in all the details that I previously missed last time, regardless of how meaningless they seemed. From the tears on the pages to the little stains on them. I took…

'Before you took Julien's body? Did we meet before?' The words Evelyn once told me echoed loudly within my mind. I didn't understand back then, nor did I want to understand. I thought it was some meaningless nonsense from her. But.... all of a sudden, I started to understand. It couldn't be... "What did you do to him!?" Evelyn's voice snapped me out of it. Her voice was a little different than her current one, but it wasn't that far off as she rushed towards Leon who was lying on the…

Leon had only been planning on checking up on Julien to make sure that he was fine and the servants hadn't turned on him. Although unlikely, it wouldn't be strange considering how the previous Julien used to act. He thought that if there were some problems they wouldn't be so bad, but... Coming into the room, Leon saw Julien holding onto a red book which he placed down on the desk as he turned his face to face him. "...This really happened, didn't it?" Julien's hazel eyes met with his as…

'Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!' The first page of the book was filled with a single word, and one single word only. It repeated over and over again. 11 "....." I could almost feel the rage and hatred Julien had poured into the word. The page was marked with visible dents, left behind by the force of his pen as he pressed down in anger. More than anger... I could also feel his obsession. 'Why couldn't it be me? What good is there to be talented in curse magic?' 'I am the first son of…

"....You're finally here." Greeting me at the entrance of the estate was Julien's father. He wore the same formal outfit from the closing ceremony a few days ago, carrying an aura of calm. "We expected you two to arrive earlier, but this is fine too." He turned around to glance at the numerous servants that lined up behind him. I glanced at them, but none of them glanced at me. It was as if they were trying to avoid my gaze. "They probably are.' Leon had warned me in advance that my…

"To be clear, I am not happy with this arrangement." Getting on the carriage, I made sure to express my disappointment and outrage toward the situation as Leon sat beside me, his expression a lot more relaxed than it had been a few moments ago. ".....That's fine." He said, crossing his arms and leaning his head against the wooden back of the carriage. "You'll understand once we get there. It'll be something that you'll thank me for later." || || At that, I didn't say anything. He was…
