Vol. 3 Chapter 98: Dagger Technique & Family Issue (Part 2)

It was dinnertime. Today was a tiring day, and I limply plopped down on my seat on the table along with a long sigh. Adding more slashes was harder and more tiring than I thought. Oh wait no, I think I have expected it. But it doesn't change the fact that I want to sleep right now.

But a girl has to eat.

Although, there was this little feeling that I didn’t want to be here. Like trying to avoid something. And that frustrated me. I don’t typically desire to run away from someth...

Vol. 3 Chapter 97: Dagger Technique & Family Issue (Part 1)

“Here, princess.”

Elson handed me a plain dagger, which I gently received. Like I was someone scared of holding something sharp. I mean, I wouldn’t want to nick myself, knives were scary~. They were dangerous.

I stared at the dagger with wide and intrigued eyes. Finally, I’ve come this far. My precious daggers would finally get the upgrade they deserved!

“Careful not to hurt yourself with it, princess.”

“O-Okay.”

“By the way, are you not going t...

Vol. 3 Chapter 96: Preventing a Mistake

I strolled through the palace hallway with uneasy steps. Probably because I was feeling a bit anxious. I was heading to my father’s office with my servants. Uncle Meril had left, there was no need for him to be there. Incidentally, he didn’t want to get a negative impression that he was conspiring with me or something on everyone’s back.

Although that was true, he just didn’t want to make it obvious.

It was all up to me now. I’m just gonna try to lessen the damage as muc...

Vol. 3 Chapter 95: Catching Up

I headed for my office and waited. I sat on my usual spot, by my desk reading a book, while often looking through the window, at the winter view. Yeah, I have become a true bookworm! That’s right, that checks all the boxes, right?

I’m reading a lot of books, and reading is all I can do when I do nothing. And I’m starting to enjoy it. I think that’s being a bookworm already. Surely being a bookworm was not being too obsessive in books where I go insane if I could not even hold on...

Vol. 3 Chapter 94: Clingy Estelia

It was a rest day. Yes, rest day, where I got to rest my entire being, whether it be my physical body or my mind. A day to spend at my leisure. A moment of peace. I mean, sometimes you just gotta rest lest you find yourself in an endless loop of insanity.

I wanted to confront my father about his decision regarding Eleden, and the latter’s intended actions. But as I decided initially, I'm gonna watch how things unfold first and wait. Plus, if I tackle the topic, they’ll question me h...

Estelia padoru padoru!

It's December! Christmas is coming! And I've prepared a little gift for everyone!

Padoru Estelia! XD Isn't she cute?

I'm gonna set this as my profile pic for the month.

If you want to save it, to maybe set as your profile picture, you can download it here attached to the post.

Or here: PADORU

Enjoy the adorable Padoru Estelia :)

Also, I realized t...

Vol. 3 Chapter 93: Mr. Snowman

The world was painted white in the seas of snow — okay, nevermind with the flowery words. The snow has thickened in the weeks that passed. And everyone in the palace was scrambling to remove the piling snow that was obstructing everyday life.

Some guys even have to climb up the palace roof lest we want to make things unsafe. Fucking snow man, beautiful but it has its downsides. Guess we’re not the same on that part, I’m beautiful in everything, no downsides. Ahem, anyways, it was ...

Vol. 3 Chapter 92: Dance Practice and Estevan's Treats (Part 2)

We arrived at the dining room, servants were already on standby in case we needed anything. On the long table already placed the covered dishes, waiting to be unveiled. As we approached the seats, servants stepped in to pull back the chairs.

Mine was the exception however, as I was unexpectedly placed at the head of the table.

Estevan pulled out my chair like a gentleman. “Sister.”

I positioned myself on the table and he gently pushed the chair as I sat down along with t...

Vol. 3 Chapter 91: Dance Practice and Estevan's Treats (Part 1)

I sat by the palace entrance, waiting for a couple of guests that were coming. My hair was meticulously tied in order to shorten it, yeah it has gone extremely long. Although, I have no intention of cutting it.

It’s been several days since I was relieved of my duties — since I was fired from my job. And I have to say, things have been pretty peaceful indeed! Part of why I got to feel this way was because I have faith in the people taking the lead in the operations. Surely they would...

Vol. 3 Chapter 90: Attempts at Armament Magic

I kinda woke up on the right side of the bed today, as I have been for a few days. Huh, looks like being relieved of my duties brought some ease within me. Despite how displeased I may be, being removed from a job made my mental health better. So let’s all quit our jobs!

Joking~.

I have been pretty much clueless about what’s been going on with things lately. I guess observing means to stay on the sidelines and mind my own business. Nothing should go wrong with this little matt...

Vol. 3 Chapter 89: Mercy

Count Saerus was sitting down on a chair, in front of him was a mirror. He was ready for the party about to take place later, his hair was combed neatly, and he was in his finest formal clothes. It was a gathering, and as any event, it should be a time for celebration, and joy. However, such positive feelings were not evident on his face at all.

He looked at himself, his heart beating heavily. His knees felt weak. The apprehension taking all over his body. In order to relieve himself of...

Prologues: Power & Death (New book series news)

Hello everyone! I just want to share something about the other project I mentioned in the past.

Finally it's about finished! It's coming soon in Amazon, and will be available in ebook and paperback. Will also be in Kindle Unlimited!

The image attached is a mockup of the book, looks good :). Will give more news soon and tell you more about the book!

Thank you and I hope you'll look forward to it :)

Vol. 3 Chapter 88: Repercussion

“What did you do, daughter?”

My father spoke in a grim and stern tone as he sat down on his desk, his one hand tapping on it.

“Which do you mean?”

“Count Farrimond, you gave him something. It has come to my attention that a poison has been requested. Is it what you gave him?”

“Oh, yes.”

“Why didn’t you tell me about it?”

“... Because I knew you would hesitate giving me one.”

He sighed. “Of course I would. For what purpose w...

Vol. 3 Chapter 87: Confess

The carriage rattled slightly as they entered the capital city gates. Saerus, with his sword on his lap, looked through the window. With him was Marquis Teristro, sitting on the opposite side.

As the carriage made its way to the palace, the common folk looked at them with curiosity. The city was a bit surreal for Saerus, he usually only comes here during an event or a festival. Thus, the streets were greatly decorated. But now, it was so normal.

The thought of casually visiting th...

Vol. 3 Chapter 86: Count Saerus Farrimond

There was a fairly large territory in the east of Wisteria’s capital city. Ruling it on behalf of the crown was a Count named Saerus Farrimond. He was a warrior, but gifted with a fine mind as well. He was a good leader to his territory, able to create level headed decisions, patient, and often wise.

In the past, he often hunted monsters himself when one came across the nearby villages and towns in his domain. His skill of the sword could allow him in the position of an elite knight. ...

Vol. 3 Chapter 85: Spar with Elson

I’m pumped! Another day of training! Our half-day session yesterday was quite productive. And now, Elson was going to let me try handling a dagger! Indeed, what an exciting day. It would just be a taste though.

But before that, I have to get the answer to my offer the other day. I didn’t broach the topic yesterday to give him additional time. And now, I would like to have his answer.

“Sir Elson, before we start. Have you decided about my offer to you?”

“Yes, prince...

Vol. 3 Chapter 84: The Search for Rats

Completely taken by surprise, Elson’s eyes widened. My servants likewise stared at me with dumbfounded expressions. However, Rogan in particular was the most concerning, he looked like he just witnessed something terrifying, or perhaps heartbreaking.

“I asked you what you think of becoming a subordinate of mine.” I replied to Elson.

As if he had composed his thoughts, he answered. “I just didn’t expect such an offer.”

“Opportunities come at unexpected times, I ...

Vol. 3 Chapter 83: Start of Sword Training

I tightened the laces of my boots, getting myself ready and make sure nothing fucks it up. For I will be going into physical practice. Swordplay!

I wore brown trousers, quite a stretchable fabric, so it didn’t restrain my movements. Then a gray shirt with a leather waistband. My hair was tied into a ponytail. Although still lengthy. I have not cut my hair ever since I arrived here in this world. Gonna be Rapunzel but white-haired and more beautiful.

I stretched my body, getting ...

Vol. 3 Chapter 82: Countermove

Days of silence and peace, on my side at least. I let others take care of matters now. The extension of bandit hunting was still underway, no sign of the elf. Unfortunate, but the main plan was to reduce or better wipe out the bad elements around the capital. A good side was that the people were praising the palace’s actions.

The roads were safer, the merchants could deliver goods better. Civilians were more relaxed to travel if they can't afford protection or anything. Approval ratin...

Vol. 3 Chapter 81: The Parting

I heaved a long sigh once the priestess left the room. Can’t be too cruel, can’t be too kind. There’s nothing we can do. Better keep those adventurers watched. But do we even have resources remaining to do just that?

We don’t have agents to spare. Would have been better for me if they all just died when they fought the damn elf. Less headache. I can’t believe that the church would allow her to become an adventurer, the high bishop certainly has a soft side for that girl. Maybe...

Vol. 3 Chapter 80: The Lying Priestess

Local goddess here reporting for duty! A day had passed since I returned home to the palace. When I came back, every member of my family greeted me with wide smiles and bright, shining eyes. They were concerned at first about why I didn’t follow the schedule, but they didn’t panic thanks to the messenger we sent in advance to notify them.

They were pretty sweet on my arrival, asking me all sorts of questions during dining. Mother was the best. So sweet. I love her… Huh, I didn’t...

Side Project bad news.

There is some bad news. Remember the writing side project I mentioned? That collection of short stories. The editor I hired couldn't finish it because of some understandable reason on their side. 

But I can't help but feel disappointed. We were close to the finish line. And the time wasted for nothing, months, disappointing and stressing to think about. The most painful part... 

Now I have to find another affordable editor, it's a stressing experience. Not that easy to f...

Vol. 3 Chapter 79: The Young Goddess's Blessing

I got tired. Who would have thought? I have been spewing mana and flying around for some time now, so of course I would be tired at the end of it, and feel a bit dizzy. Yeeaah, I have been holding off using mana, but that is a small price to pay for salvation.

No regrets! Don’t live your life full of regrets, people! Otherwise you’ll regret it in ten years or so. Maybe as early as five, depending on how you fucked up your life. But heeeey, never back down!

“See? Now you feel...

Vol. 3 Chapter 78: The Bird's Taste of Flight

It was time to go back home. Mizia looked at me with teary-eyes, holding my hand as if she didn’t want to let go.

“I still have a few more dresses for you to try out.”

Stop it! I have already tried more than a dozen!

I bet those few more dresses were just dresses she found locked up somewhere and just thought it would look good on me. When I considered the circumstances, if she pulled me into her room to play dressing dolls on me, I attempted to postpone it as...

Vol. 3 Chapter 77: Operation Rat's Tail

Shena of the Yveno household felt relief when she finally saw the familiar sight close to home. Going outside was a strenuous endeavor. She enjoyed the company of others, but she liked it more being at home, it was more peaceful that way. However, her mother would never allow that.

And thus, she had to bear playing politics when the time called for it. Although she liked speaking with noble ladies around her age, they could relate to each other easier. Less politics to think about, one ...

Vol. 3 Chapter 76: A True Friend (Part 2)

The noble young ladies said their goodbyes as they headed for their carriages waiting in front of the mansion. They waved their hands with wide, friendly smiles before they stepped inside. The beautiful princess Estelia waved back at them with a longing smile.

From what Rogan gathered by observing her, she quite enjoyed the company of her fellows. After all, this might be the first time she socialized with a group of women she could potentially be friends with. He was happy for her that...
