One such early morning, unusual footsteps were heading towards a certain prince’s quarters. They were accompanied by the sounds of something scraping against the floor as they proceeded.

Chapter 2 - The Great Decoy Plan “....hey now, you could have at least thought a little before refusing...your big bro is hurt...” “Yeah, right.” Stenn’s voice was tinged with sadness, but I cut down his words without mercy. “What….!? This masterfully crafted expression of grief...you don’t believe it anymore, Fay…? So this is the cruelty of time everyone talks about...” Because he had been sick in bed for long periods, Stenn was very proficient at creating sad or pained expressions.…

Chapter 3 - Blood of the Empire Several minutes afterwards. Obeying Stenn’s orders to join him for breakfast, I changed, and, with Feli as an escort, left for the royal palace. Our destination was the nobles’ district: a luxurious residential area complete with shops catering to the nobles’ needs. Security was stricter now, but Feli allowed Stenn, who could not walk properly, to leave without an extensive escort because of the relative safety of our destination. “Sorry for making you bear with my…

Chapter 20 - Peaceful Days The days of dull, clouded skies finally cleared, leaving room for the bright sunlight to shine. The sea reflected the sunlight to form a scenery of countless gems, as far as the eye could see. Three men were sitting on the embankment. They were talking while casually moving their fishing poles, cast into the sea. “Are you really sure you don’t want to go?” The first one to talk was a man clad in a white lab coat — Rowle Zwelg, the “Hero” nicknamed…-

Bonus Story - A Past Long Gone My reason to live was my duty. My reason to live was that I was protected. My reason to walk forward was admiration. My reason to walk forward was wanting to protect.

Chapter 21 - *** When Grerial’s party was still in Rinchelle, a certain person visited Fay’s empty room. “Still buying flowers? Seriously...” With a sigh, but also happiness in her tone, the maid looked at the flowers set in a vase. In recent years, the sight of red spider lilies had become familiar to her. In the language of flowers, they meant “Looking forward to meeting you again”. They were graceful flowers, but also so vividly red that they felt ominous sometimes. The maid — Ratifah,…

Chapter 19 - What It Means To Laugh A strange phenomenon appeared before my eyes. The air trembled, it looked like space itself was bending. I frowned. “........” I had scattered “Spada” all around, in order to detect any disturbances. One of them shook and communicated to me. I and my “Spada” were one and the same. As soon as I noticed the strange phenomenon, my “Spada” warned me about it too. Without the need for me to give any order, the floating “Spada” pointed its tip towards…

Digital Version Short Story - A Certain Day’s Memory When did it happen again? <<To swing the sword...is painful, right?>> A long time ago, when I still spoke my mind honestly. <<What’s gotten into you, mentor?>> I was talking with my mentor who was sitting on the ground next to me. White hair, a rarity in this world. Hair white like snow over an expression that seemed somewhat lost, entranced. I felt that my mentor’s first question had a certain motive, so while asking the…
