      TEOCH 21

      TEOCH 21 Cover
      by mimi My breathing was rapid. The world spun before my eyes. My trembling legs had long lost the strength to take another step. Yet, we continued to move forward, as if possessed by something. The buzzing sound of ground wasps’ wings clung to our ears like a hallucination, refusing to fade. Though no wasps were chasing us anymore, the echoing buzz from outside the passage was enough to stain our hearts with fear. We had no strength left to fight. If we encountered more ground wasps in this state, I felt…

      TTQI 8 Cover
      by mimi “Why do you keep coming here so often? Instead of going to ‘that place’.” “What?” At Ade’s sudden words, Zizlon put down the book he was reading. Ade, lying on the bed, was munching on an apple while looking at Zizlon. “Why do you keep coming here so often, instead of going to the queen?” “Oh…” They were currently in Ade’s quarters. It had been a few days since the hunting tournament, and Zizlon had been diligently visiting Ade, who was restless from being unable to…

      by mimi Haengbok grew differently day by day. Perhaps his playfulness was starting to emerge, as he kept chewing on pillows and blankets, so I wove some yarn around a twig to make a toy for him. I stopped fidgeting with my hands and clutched my lower abdomen. It was because I felt a small movement. “…Ah.” Letting out a soft groan, Lemon furrowed her golden eyebrows and asked. “Is it kicking again?” I gave a bitter smile and nodded. The thing inside my body was starting to settle in…

      TTQI 7

      TTQI 7 Cover
      by mimi Sensing something unusual in the queen’s demeanor, the prince cautiously asked. The pale, expressionless face seemed no different from usual, but the prince, keenly attuned to others’ moods, had never been wrong about such instincts. Aion turned his head, avoiding the concerned gaze, and bit his lip. Facing the prince’s gentle eyes, he recalled the teasing remarks Sir Villeneuve had made hours earlier, and a wave of nausea surged within him. A sudden flare of anger rose. After a moment of silence,…

      TTQI 6 Cover
      by mimi Puuuuu… The trumpet sound announcing the king’s procession and the opening of the hunt resounded widely toward the clear sky. The group of nobles participating in the hunting competition, including the king, was waiting at the entrance of Caritas Forest. The crowd consisted not only of the king and his vassals but also the king’s guests, court musicians to entertain them, jesters, and attendants, forming a considerably large group. On the path connecting the forest and the castle, awnings…

      TCGAD 17 Cover
      by mimi I stood still like a sack of barley propped up in a corner. No matter how hard I tried to laugh along with his boisterous laughter, I couldn’t. Was it because the laughter sounded so hollow? It felt like I was standing in the eye of a violently swirling typhoon. “You dare to play those kinds of emotional games in front of me?” He sneered, chuckling. He laughed so hard that tears welled up slightly in his eyes. “When a male dog is in heat, it mounts its female. When she’s pregnant, it…

      TCGAD 8

      by mimi A screeching, spine-chilling noise suddenly rang out, causing me to stop speaking abruptly. Startled, I whipped my head around. Bulkan’s fork had veered off the plate, scraping the table. “Why, why so suddenly?” Shocked, I grabbed Lemon’s arm and pulled him closer, worried that glass might shatter and hurt him. But the moment my hand touched Lemon, sparks flew in Bulkan’s eyes. “This kind of thing!” He raised the fork high and then stabbed it into the floor. Ting, the fork…

      TTQI 5 Cover
      by mimi “…….” Finally alone in his room, the queen leaned heavily against the chair where he had been sitting. So startled was he that he had been completely out of sorts the entire time the prince was present. Even now, he could scarcely discern whether what had just happened was real or not. As the prince, who had thoroughly shaken him, departed, the queen regained a semblance of composure. Realizing he had acted like a fool, he let out a hollow laugh. Never in his life had he lost his calm like…

      by mimi About a month had passed since the wedding day. The setting was the training ground within the palace, where numerous young men were sweating profusely under the scorching sun, diligently honing their skills. Some soldiers struck wooden dummies, others aimed bows at targets, and some sparred with each other, all engrossed in sharpening their abilities. On one side of the training ground, a group of soldiers sat in a circle, watching two knights spar. Their practice forgotten, the duel had become an…

      Ch 72 Cover
      by chef "Seems like there's nothing more to say. I hope we don’t run into each other again, even by chance. And if we do, let’s just pretend we don’t know each other. Kim Jungwoon, you saw everything that happened, so think for yourself. It’s not like we were ever inseparable friends anyway. Whether you call me a bastard behind my back or say I’m a cunning jerk who stole a friend’s lover, that’s all up to you. And this—thanks for it." Ji-an folded the towel Jungwoon had given him, placed it on…
