Chapter 5 - Here Comes the Villainess 【POV: Duke Rosais】 “Oh heavens, dear count! You and your jokes” “Hahaha, oh no…these lips speak nothing but the truth!” “Hoho, our count Louz is here on a mission!” “Hahahaha.” A group of youths was sitting at a round table, enjoying tea and biscuits. All the men present belonged to powerful noble families of the central province, either as the current head or heirs. In other words, the generation that would one day lead the future of the…

Chapter 6 - The Villainess’ Plan 【POV: Marianne Rosais】 “Honestly, that father of mine!” After being scolded by my father and taking refuge in my room, I leaped onto my bed. I rolled around to let out the stress, not caring about any wrinkles and creases that would form on my dress. “Does he really think that I enjoy doing that!? Something as vulgar as seducing men!” I vented my thoughts out loud, then buried my face in a pillow. I wasn’t satisfied yet, however, so I turned face up and…

Chapter 1 - Monsters Dwell in the Sea The southern seas enjoyed a summer-like heat nearly all year long. The intense sunlight pouring from the pure blue skies sparkled on the transparent blue waves. On such a summer day, A lone vessel was riding the sea currents. Pictured on its flag were two black snakes, their bodies entwined together as the heads stretched towards the sky. The ship belonged to the “Snakebone Pirates”, a newly formed crew that recently started to raid the southern seas. Their…

Chapter 2 - Son Howls, Mother Laughs After several minutes of uninterrupted screams, the Snakebone pirates’ ship fell into complete silence. The massacre seemed to have ended. Not long after, another vessel approached the pirate ship turned slaughterhouse. On the approaching ship flew a simple skull flag. On the mast of the rather drab vessel stood a woman in a red dress. “Gahaha!! Looks like the job is already done!” The woman in the red dress, her white hair blowing in the wind, was Grace D.O.…

Chapter 3 - Flower Blooming in a Cage After going into the cabin, I spotted an area modeled like a prison cell. The Snakebones, kidnappers and slave traders, had built a cell in their hip that could hold about 20 people. However — “...Damn, is it just kids?” All I could see inside, trembling huddled against each other, were children about 10 years old. All of them had sun-scorched skin: they were likely abducted from various islands of the Southern Archipelago. “Haah…what am I supposed to…

Chapter 4 - Disturbance in the Center I am Ladd, first son and heir to House Efreeta, a small noble family of the eastern province. Our family has served House Maxwell for generations — although House Efreeta was bestowed the title of “Viscount” from the Lamperouge royal family, we are officially a vassal of the royal family. House Maxwell and Efreeta, however, have been fighting as a united front against the empire since before the foundation of the Lamperouge Kingdom. It is the same for me,…

Interlude - Dietrich Maxwell’s Adventure Part 16 - Pirate Treasures After taking down the Sea Hydra, Grace and I proceeded deeper into the cave. Gourd and the others stayed behind, so we were on our own. “Are you really sure about leaving them?” “Can’t help it, the Sea Hydra needs to be dealt with fast. If you can remove the poison properly, the scales and skin can fetch good money, and the gallbladder has its uses too.” “Hmm, I see.” Grace’s tone was the same as usual: her arms…

Interlude - Dietrich Maxwell’s Adventure Part 17 - Letter from Home Having successfully found the pirate booty, we loaded our ship as much as we could and left Alexandrite island. The ship was filled to the brim, but even so I doubt we even took 1% of the treasures hoarded in that room. The White Demons were going to take control of that island and use it as their home base from then on. “Hey, Dietrich. Won’t you join the White Demons too?” At the Sapphire kingdom harbor, Grace gave me my share…
