Chapter 19 - Meanwhile, the Creep... 【POV: Grett Baal】 “Aah..some...one...please...” The young girl stretched her hands, pleading for help. I ignored her feeble attempt and tightened my grip on her thin neck. “Damn you!! Damn you all!! Why can’t you idiots stop getting in my way!?” “...kah...aah...” “If only you did as I say, both the empire and the rest of the world would head in the right direction!! Why can’t you grasp such a simple concept!?” The girl’s hands eventually…

Chapter 18 - Fools Dance on Others’ Palms 【POV: Lars Baal】 Baal Empire, imperial court. Unable to contain my anger, I slammed my fists on the table. “What the hell is going on!? This is nothing like you told me!!” “I have no words to apologize, Milord. It was an inexplicable, unforeseeable event, apparently.” I shouted at the subordinate kneeling before me, Snowe Halphas, whose head just sank lower. Looking at him, however, did not calm my raging spirits at all. I continued hurling abuse at…

Chapter 17 - Conspiracies on All Sides “ — now Lady Rossellia’s safety is secured.” “Excellent. Sorry I had you report this late at night.” It was well into the night when Sakuya approached me as I was laying in bed. I praised her and the other Fangs for following my orders to the letter and nodded, satisfied. “We do not deserve such words, Milord: acting during the night is our specialty.” Sakuya bowed politely, then raised her head. “By the way, may I ask what could have been the…

Chapter 16 - Self-Proclaimed Loyal Knight The men had gathered in a building previously used as a trader’s storehouse, a short distance from the inn where Rossellia Baal and her entourage temporarily resided. “...the princess’ assassination failed, then.” “Yeh, Sir, we got the guards and the rest with poison, but then some bizarre folks showed up, so everybody except me died, yeh...” “Hmph...” The man listened to the assassin’s report and snorted. (Such ruffians couldn’t take the life…

Chapter 15 - A Goddess in Peril 【POV: Rossellia Baal】 “Princess, you will be sick if you do not eat...” “I’m fine, please take it away.” “Princess...” I was in my room in an inn in Avalon, capital of the Maxwell province, where I was staying with my entourage. Ten imperial knights and my personal maid, Luna, accompanied me into the Maxwell domain. Rajang Salazar, captain of the imperial guards, wanted to accompany me as well, but in order not to alert the Lamperouge royal family of our…

Chapter 14 - A Margrave’s Pride “...may I inquire about the reason?” Rossellia received my reply, but did not lose her composure and calmly asked for the reason. “Were the conditions I set not sufficient enough? Or maybe...I suppose, you are not satisfied with me...” “No, that is not it.” I replied frankly. How could I be dissatisfied by marrying such a goddess of an imperial princess? “Let me be fully honest, your proposal was extremely attractive. I don’t feel any loyalty or…

Chapter 13 - No Assaulting, Violating or Defiling “....Sakuya!!” “Yes, my Lord.” “Eeeeh!?” I called the young assassin’s name out of the blue. She appeared before us suddenly, causing Rossellia to react in surprise. “Give me a needle!” “Yes, my Lord.” I took the needle Sakuya gave me and stabbed my left arm, without hesitation. “Eeeh!? What in the world are you doing!?” “OOW!!” Enduring the pain transmitted from my left arm, I once again looked at Rossellia. The beautiful…

Chapter 12 - Revealed Face “I am deeply grateful for your invitation, Margrave Maxwell.” Rossellia bowed deeply, her face still hidden by the veil. I couldn’t see her expression, but I could tell that the imperial princess, who was the same age as me, was nervous. (Rossellia Baal...was her name, right. This is kind of...disappointing.) I was looking forward to seeing the beauty of the century, but she wouldn’t show her face. I couldn’t help but feel my shoulders drop. “Oh no, you honor us with…
