Chapter 12 - A Maid’s Melancholy 【POV : Eliza】 My name is Eliza. I am a servant of house Maxwell, the leader of the nobles in the eastern province. More precisely, the personal maid of Dyngir Maxwell, next in line to be margrave. “Then, I’m going out. I’ll be back late today.” “Very well. Please take care, young master.” I bowed politely and saw the young master off. I remained bowed while the young master’s horse carriage was visible, then finally raised my head after the carriage…-

Chapter 9 - Puberty is Awkward for both Parent and Child Margrave Maxwell manor, study. I was sitting at the desk, looking at documents, a rarity for me. I was more of an outdoor person: even for work, I usually preferred to be in the field, giving orders directly. Not everything could be done that way, of course, so sometimes I took care of the paperwork. Presently in the study, there were only two people: me and my father, the current Margrave Maxwell. It felt somewhat awkward working alone with…

Chapter 4 - Prank Celebration 【POV: Duke Rosais】 (Maxwell’s rascal is up to no good again...) Royal capital of the Lamperouge kingdom, in the royal duties office. I, Burt Rosais, the current head of the house of Rosais, read the contents of the letter sent by house Maxwell and grumbled to myself. 『I offer heartfelt congratulations for Prince Sullivan’s marriage into the family of Baron Nommes』 Congratulations...so the letter said, but this was, for all intents and purposes, a threat. The…

Chapter 5 - Dealing with Fools Takes its Toll 【POV: Duke Rosais】 In a private room of the royal palace… “Nonsense!! I, the crown prince, have to marry into a baron’s family!? Do you realize how stupid it sounds!?” “...............” Before me, a fool was shouting and gesticulating. The fool’s name was, naturally, Sullivan Lamperouge — the kingdom’s former crown prince. “Unfortunately, His Majesty the King decided thus. We must ask for Your Highness’ acceptance.” I carefully…

Chapter 10 - The Night Life is Rife with Peril The largest city in the Maxwell territory was the district capital, Avalon. Located in the heart of the territory, Avalon was a city of two faces. One was its daytime face: as the largest commercial district of the eastern provinces, it housed a market frequented by traders coming and going from the central, northern, and southern provinces. The market was also crowded with merchants from the eastern province, looking to find new goods, and the local people…

Chapter 6 - Holidays are for Hunting Clop, clop, clop, clop, clop, clop, clop… Several dozen horses trotted across the plains with armed men rode on top of them. The atmosphere surrounding the men was too casual to think they were soldiers: their outfits were also completely mismatched. Some of them wore knight-like armor, others wore animal skins haphazardly stitched together to form some sort of clothing. These men were the “Crimson Tigers”, a gang of horseback thieves that, in recent years,…

Chapter 11 - Magic Lance and Magic Sword In a vacant lot in Avalon’s slums, the sounds of clashing metal echoed repeatedly. “Ha, ha, ha, hahaha!! This is so exciting!! Dyngir Maxwell!!” “Glad to hear that! I’m fighting for my life though!!” Just when I thought I had parried the blade coming from the left, she thrust the pole from the right. When I blocked her slashes from above, she attempted a strike from below. Shana’s seamless attacks forced me to take a defensive stance. The lance was…

Chapter 1 - Engagements are Broken so Suddenly “Dyngir Maxwell!! I hereby declare your engagement to Selena void!!" “....whaat?” It all started one afternoon. I was in the royal academy located in Sairhun, capital of the Lamperouge kingdom. More precisely, I was walking through the academy’s garden, when suddenly I heard a voice from behind me. I turned around to look at the source of the voice and found a young man with flowing golden locks and a familiar face. “...oh my, to be honored by…
