Thet had eliminated the spy disguised as a vassal, entrusted the incriminating evidence to a trustworthy vassal, alerted Claire to the danger she was in, and planted misinformation within Belian's ranks, causing significant disruption.
The events at the Grand Hall had unfolded perfectly.
And not just there, Harnie thought.
‘But…’
She couldn't shake her unease.
They had finally gained the upper hand....

“Gone.” It was a loaded word.
Belian’s confident smile didn’t match the absurdity of his statement.
Who in the Empire didn’t know Veneris?
The prophet’s reputation preceded him.
And yet, Belian was mocking him?
Claiming to know what he would do?
If anyone had overheard him, they would have surely rebuked him.
He claimed Carsein, a man with nowhere to return to, had undoubtedly "gone...

-Tap. Tap.
Arina tapped her fingers on the table in the war room, a strange sound echoing in her ears.
She had been focused on the search for Carsein.
She was scrutinizing every detail, every report, determined to find a clue, to avoid being deceived.
A soldier had finally arrived with a report. She had hoped for news of Carsein’s whereabouts.
But the report was completely unexpected.

“Ugh…haah…”
“Are they… are they still chasing us?”
“No! They can’t follow us here. They seem to be weakened by the light.”
“Oh my… I’m exhausted.”
The villagers collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
They had fled in terror, their bodies drenched in sweat.
“What happened? This is Bagrand territory! Why… why are they here?!”
The villagers’ voices were filled with...

Though Flora had escaped, I remained at the Shiren Villa.
The building was engulfed in flames, the fire raging uncontrollably as the Duchy personnel frantically tried to extinguish it.
I stayed to observe.
While the deception seemed successful, I wanted to monitor their reactions.
‘No one seems suspicious.’
I had been worried that someone might notice the small group escaping amidst the chaos, but ever...

“Huff… huff…”
Flora’s small body heaved with exertion.
She had tricked the soldiers at the villa and was now running as fast as she could.
“Ugh… I’m so tired…”
She leaned against a tree, hands on her knees, catching her breath.
Just escaping the villa had drained her stamina. She wanted to rest.
And it wouldn’t be unreasonable.
There was no one around.

‘I knew it…’
The moment Harnie brought up the topic she had hesitated to mention at the tomb, Carsein tensed.
It was understandable.
This was a sensitive topic for him.
The possibility that his strained relationship with his family was orchestrated by someone else…
The notes from the tomb and Harnie’s own experiences supported this theory.
But whether Carsein could accept it… was a differ...

It had been a troubling night.

Harnie needed time to process everything.
Carsein readily agreed.

She walked through the falling snow, lost in thought.
Carsein had faced countless hardships.
Ostracized and scorned by the nobles, burdened by his low birth and false accusations, he had strugg...

Hi guys, hope you're well. I know I missed last week's batch of Damn Family chapters, and I apologize, I intend to upload them along with this week's batch. I was planning on uploading them today but as some of you may be aware "NP" is currently on a spree, as such I believe it best we lay low, at least for a couple more days, lest we risk losing everything and coming to an abrupt stop while so close to the end. Here's to hoping for the best.

The more she protested, the tighter he held her. As if he wasn't letting go.

From the moment it escalated to a nationwide search, Harnie could no longer walk freely.

I didn't show it, but I was impressed.
Anyone who witnessed this would feel the same.

He was a natural.
