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 11 - Concealed Face Rossellia Baal, First Princess of the Baal Empire. All I knew about her was that she was kept sheltered inside the imperial court and rarely ever appeared in public, that she was eighteen years old and — apparently — a breathtaking, blonde beauty. One of the Fangs of Steel members infiltrated in the empire reported that, according to some merchants allowed access to the imperial court, Rossellia was “Just like an angel! One glance and you could’t ever forget…

Chapter 6 - Four Rogues Under One Roof Among the residences concentrated in the royal capital’s noble district, one mansion stood out especially. House Thunderbird, which prospered thanks to maritime trade, was unrivaled among the Four Houses in terms of financial power. The size and luxury of its manor was clear proof: both dwarfed the other noble residences of the district. “It seems like the other two have arrived already. Come on in, Dyn.” “All right.” Echidna led me down a corridor and…

Chapter 7 - Wine flows smoothly, meeting flows not “...but that’s enough jokes. We should start talking seriously now.” Echidna clasped her hands loudly, changing the air in the room. The maids and butlers set drinks and snacks on the tables, then promptly made their exit. The conversation that was going to follow was not for their ears. “I-I beg your pardon~~!!” “Ah….” The maid who served Sharon too bolted out of the room. Sharon looked at her leave, a gaze of longing in her eyes...then…

Chapter 8 - A Gift from the Mad Matriarch “I pretty much didn’t do anything, why do I feel so tired…?” After discussing a few more issues, the gathering of the “Four Houses” heirs officially concluded. It was already late at night: Echidna invited me to stay over at her mansion, but I didn’t feel it right to sleep under the same roof as her, so I went back to the lodging rented under the Maxwell name. Incidentally, Valon went back to his lodging too: Sharon started drinking again after the…

CHAPTER 3 - Every Country has its Morons 【POV: Cerros Baal, third prince of the Baal empire】 “Maan, I can’t put up with this shit...” After the conference, little old me went back to his room, like a good boy, and lay on his bed. “My dumb ass brothers and their lame-ass retainers too, they’re all such a pain.” If you want my honest opinion, my two idiot brothers — who both really believe they’re going to be the next emperor — are not fitting to be a ruler at all. First…

Chapter 9 - Troubles of a Golden-Haired Princess 【POV: Rossellia Baal】 (Oh, what am I supposed to do?) My name is Rossellia Baal — I am the fourth child of Emperor Baal and the only princess in the current imperial family. I was born with the most noble blood in the empire and have lived a life free of hardship. If you asked me whether that is a life of happiness or not, however, I would not be able to say yes with confidence. “Rossellia, I wish for at least you to be happy.” Father,…

Chapter 4 - History Moves the Kingdom As Well Lamperouge kingdom, royal palace. A certain ceremony was scheduled for that day. In the throne hall, nobles from throughout the kingdom had gathered: all neatly kneeling at the sides of the gorgeous red carpet laid in the middle, bowing towards the throne. I was watching them from my seat. “Such a number of nobles together is quite the sight indeed. Very different from the battlefield.” All of them were powerful and influential figures in the kingdom, each…
