Chapter 18 - Night of Lingering Fervor The dark thoughts filling my mind ruined my appetite, so I pushed the rest of the food to Benamis and stood up. I picked up the fruit juice bottle on the table and poured its contents down my throat in one shot. “Pwah! All right then, I’ll head back to the inn.” “Oh, already? I wanted to talk with you a bit more, Sir Dyngir.” “We’ll have plenty of chances to chat in the future, assuming we’re both alive…and not on opposite sides.” “Hahaha,…

Chapter 11 - A Maiden’s Tears, Unanswered 【POV: Naam Sphinx】 My brother, Valon Sphinx, fell in battle. After learning of this, a black, creeping hole formed in my heart. Strangely enough, I didn’t feel any sadness. The reason was simple: who would have ever thought that a strong warrior like my brother would ever be defeated on the battlefield? My brother had been trained in the art of the sword since he was a child by our father, the Margrave. At fifteen years old, he enrolled in the capital’s…

Chapter 6 - Messenger in Mourning “It truly has been a long time, Miss Cairo. Or should I address you as Lady Sphinx?” “The marriage has not been formalized yet, so Cairo will be fine.” Mist politely bowed and replied to my question. I had last met her two years ago: she had come to the capital to cheer for Valon at the royal martial tournament. I observed the outfit Mist was wearing. It was a jet-black dress, covering up her sleeves and ankles. She also wore a half-transparent black veil on her…

Chapter 5 - Messengers from the West At noon the next day, I had an early lunch and visited House Thunderbird. The butler led me to a guest room where Echidna was sitting on a sofa, magnificently fanning herself. “Oh my, how punctual, Dyn. I expected you to sleep in.” “Don’t treat me like a kid now. I’m 19, you know?” “Hehe, I imagined you would sleep in after you had your fun with your cute Sakuya…but I suppose the seeds of the next Margrave have started sprouting?” “...you’re…

Chapter 7 - Conclusion of the Meeting Mist’s requests were pretty much within expectations. Reinforcements to deal with the threat of the “Terror Armies” that crossed the border. In return, finances and treasures, as well as priority treatment for the southern province in its transactions with the west. “If possible…I would hope for the aid of House Maxwell as well…” “Well…House Maxwell wouldn’t want to abandon House Sphinx in a time of crisis, but…” In case the “Terror Armies”…

Chapter 8 - The Father’s Awakening After a trip of around 10 days, I arrived back in the Maxwell province. Three months had passed since I had left: naturally, I was welcomed warmly…by the old man’s preaching. “Are you truly aware of your position as heir!? Or do you have no intention of inheriting the title of Margrave!? If you don’t, just say it now, for heaven’s sake!” “Nah, I mean to inherit the title, and I do think that I want to be a good ruler.” “You best show it, then!! What…

Chapter 9 - A Foreboding Response While waiting for the return of the messenger sent to the royal palace, I was busy organizing our troops and securing the necessary supplies. The next expedition would leave at the request of House Sphinx, thus weaponry and rations would have to be provided by them. However, we could not depend completely on a clan on the brink of collapse due to the enemy’s invasion. The region we were heading to was largely unfamiliar to us, so over-preparation was practically a…

Chapter 13 - The Maiden’s Letters To Lord Maxwell Dyngir, I am Naam Sphinx. As you have so kindly allowed, I am writing you a letter. Please let me apologize for abruptly asking you to start exchanging letters that day. It must have been puzzling for you to receive such a request. For me, however, it was a very important thing, as there is something I must tell you — and that is what led me to take the pen. I cannot muster enough courage to write about that matter yet… but for now, let me tell you…
