Episode 14 "…Chocolate?" Russelin's face went blank, as though in disbelief, at the unexpected item that Leonard had offered her. Leonard tilted his head in mild confusion. "Do you dislike sweets?" "No, it’s not that…." Russelin couldn’t bring herself to tell him he had missed the mark. The important thing right now wasn’t something sweet like chocolate. "Why are you giving this to me?" "You said you had a headache." "And that’s why you’re giving it to me?" "Sweets…-

Episode 13 "Stop." In the midst of the tense standoff, a low voice intervened. With it, a powerful presence settled over them, pressing down on both of them. The energy was dark, intense, as if to announce its formidable and dangerous nature. The thick, clashing magic from both men was gradually swallowed up by the sudden presence, fading away as if devoured. In an instant, the volatile tension was dispelled. A familiar figure stepped between them. "As I thought, bringing the two of…

Episode 12 '…Since when has Aydin looked at me like that?' What she had once thought were indifferent eyes hiding affection now held a faint hint of anger. Though it wasn’t directed at her directly, it always seemed connected to her in some way. For the first time, Russelin took a step toward Aydin. "Aydin, to you… what am I…?" What kind of existence was I to you? The words lingered in her mouth, unable to leave. Was she afraid of hearing his answer? Or maybe… 'Perhaps…

Episode 11 It was pitch-black darkness. At that time, when she could barely grasp anything fully, a familiar voice echoed in Russelin's mind—a voice she could never forget, no matter how much time passed. 'Listen carefully, my dear. Since ancient times, they've said that too much of anything is no better than nothing at all.' 'What do you mean, Mother?' 'It means that even the mighty strength of a protector is worthless without a priestess's touch. Remember this well, alright?' As a…

Episode 10 The garden was cloaked in the cold stillness of deep night, a chill settling in the air. Perhaps it was the night’s bite, or maybe… "Haah… What’s going on…" Russelin wasn’t sure if the emptiness she felt was because of the biting night air or the silence that engulfed her, left alone in the garden. She stood there, watching the last warmth vanish, and her face clouded with uncertainty. She could see the bright lights of the distant banquet hall, but the thought of returning…

Episode 9 At that moment, Leonard’s intense gaze seized Russelin’s attention completely. Beneath her trembling eyelids, her blue eyes captured his image entirely. "Do you know the easiest way to hide your true intentions?" "…W-what is it?" "Hold eye contact. Without wavering." "Eye contact?" "Yes. It’s a form of asserting dominance. If you look away first, you show a weakness." That’s… not easy. Russelin swallowed the complaint rising in her throat. She instinctively tried to…

Episode 8 Even after only a few words with Leonard, Russelin felt a chill down her spine. ‘He's far more dangerous than I expected.’ Though Leonard's intense aura weighed heavily on her, Russelin still tried to gauge him. But each time her gaze lingered, she felt as though he could see right through her thoughts. When she deliberately looked away, Leonard narrowed his eyes. "Hmm. Is silence your usual nature?" "…What do you mean?" "You seemed quite bold and talkative that…

Episode 7 ‘Did I really do the right thing…?’ For the first time, she had acted differently from her past self. The image of Aydin, usually so steady, momentarily shaken in front of the Emperor, was vivid in her mind. If things continued this way… A faint glimmer of hope surfaced in Russelin's eyes, though it soon faded, leaving only a faint, fleeting feeling behind. "…Ha." Russelin finally exhaled the breath she had been holding back with difficulty. It was a vulnerable moment, one she…

Episode 6 "Ha, so that's what it was." A voice, so low it seemed to echo, shook Russelin to her core. It was only then that she realized she'd been mesmerized by Leonard’s sharp aura. She quickly turned her gaze to Aydin, but he wasn’t looking at her. "So you decided to obey so willingly, did you?" "...Aydin." At Russelin’s call, Aydin turned his gaze upon her, his eyes smoldering with a fury that threatened to break loose, weighing heavily on her. "You couldn't seem to tear your eyes…

This conversation was yet another reminder that he was from a different world. No one in Sector 37 worried about hygiene. Everyone was just focused on surviving day to day. "It might be better if you moved to Sector 40," he suggested, glancing over her dusty face and tangled hair. Yoon Min nodded. "I was planning to move anyway." "When?" "When can you exchange the money?" "…Tomorrow." "Good. I’ll leave the day after." "…Do you have a place to stay in Sector 40?" "I’m heading…-
