Yuder quietly maintained a fast pace as he folded the medicine paper. Fortunately, Enon raised his head again before all the papers were folded. Although he was still frowning, Yuder read a rather positive signal from the fact that Enon didn't tell him to leave.
"Ah... Birthday. Birthday, birthday."

In his previous life, how had that man's 30th birthday been? Had he also forgotten his own birthday? Or had he known about it somehow and chosen to spend it alone, pushing away those around him?
No matter how hard Yuder tried to recall, the most he could remember was that he had been extremely busy and distracted around the time of the new Commander's i...

"Are you alright?" Yuder asked.
"I should be the one asking you that. Are you okay?" Kishiar gently inquired. There was no trace on his face of the person who had just crushed the Crown Prince with a single surge of energy and pierced him with a tongue sharper than a blade.
'But... it was truly an incredible force.'
Kishiar rarely exerted hi...

"Will that be enough? It doesn't even look tasty."
"It's, it's delicious though..."
Rowena spoke with a slightly discouraged voice at Yi-Han's harsh criticism.
Not all elves insisted on being vegetarian, but some elf families were crazy about vegetables. Yi-Han knew that too, so he didn't blame Rowena.

The skull principal mustered up as much patience as possible to not curse at the faces of the illusion mages who spoke so innocently.

Yi-Han was about to argue why only he had to be excluded, but he stopped.
It was absurd, but honestly, if asked whether he wanted to participate in that gathering, the answer was no.
'I don't want to be among them.'
Of course, his friends would want to overcome the sudden ordeal together with Yi-Han, but...
Yi-Han didn't really want to ...

"It seems to me a fine opportunity for Your Highness to show me what kind of trust you seek and what kind of new era you wish to create," Yuder said, tilting his head as he suddenly recalled saying something similar before. He exhaled with a "hmm" as he felt Nahan's blood-covered face overlapping with Katchian's pale, anger-filled visage.

"I apologize, but does Your Highness, the Crown Prince, know how the one who called himself a 'sage' died in the South?"

That question certainly had the effect of stopping Katchian's nonsense before it continued further. Katchian, who had been babbling on, suddenly shut his mouth as if frozen.
After a moment, he narrowed his eyes and r...

A chilly wind brushed against his skin. Yuder slowly lowered his head and greeted with the proper etiquette for meeting a member of the imperial family.
"...Greetings, Your Highness."
His voice was slow, and his expression was unreadable, but Yuder's mind was racing.

At Yi-Han's words, Nillia was startled and raised her head.
For a moment, she thought her friend was teasing her, but Yi-Han's expression was very serious.

Yi-Han felt a twinge of guilt.
In fact, it was Yi-Han's choice not to take the dance class at the academy.
But the skull principal was getting unnecessary misunderstandings because of him.

Yi-Han was lost in thought.
In truth, Yi-Han didn't need to learn every dance to make a name for himself at the Imperial Ball. It would be enough to learn the basics, dance once with others when they took their turns, and then return to his seat.
Outstanding dancers were said to be well-versed in the subtle differences of the round dances from each...

Yuder found it quite peculiar to see Kishiar, who had always emphasized the importance of rest to him, now being told something similar by the Emperor himself. However, he seemed to understand what the Emperor meant by those words.
Kishiar had mentioned that before becoming an Awakener, he lived being told not to do anything, but it wasn't as if he had ...

Silence filled the room for a moment before it was suddenly broken by an explosive burst of laughter.

‘I must never let my guard down,’ he realized with a sense of urgency.
Trust was a rare commodity among the royal family.
The imperial social scene was rife with conspiracies and schemes, with the royals being the most cunning and ruthless players.

Yi-Han would have normally noticed the crisis right away, but his mind was dull from removing artifact curses during the day and casting numerous enhancement and healing spells on many people in the evening.
So he realized it a step later than Nillia.

"Yes? Huh? Did I make a mistake??"
Yi-Han, startled, looked up and down at the fallen knight.
After first healing the deep stab wounds, he had administered a potion to enhance the knight's recovery.
It seemed like he had followed the proper order, right?

"May the meal be plentiful and lacking nothing for the heroes of today," the Emperor and Empress wished.

The concept of a birthday was infinitely foreign to Yuder.
Commoners in the Orr Empire, once they grew up and aged to a certain extent, rarely mentioned their birthdays or celebrated them with anyone other than family. Most of the Cavalry members, who were also of common origin, hardly bothered to celebrate their own birthdays.

"I think it's fine, but how did you even make this?" Nillia examined the leather water bottle up and down in amazement. It was even more astonishing that there were no special gems, unique materials, or reagents visible.

Professor Beavle, upon seeing Yi-Han break another bracelet, asked with a curious tone, "Can I just break them from now on without releasing the curse? Wouldn't that be faster?"

Yi-Han carefully put away the remaining two br...

Tijiling, the priestess, bowed her head slightly with an apologetic heart.

The rumors about Nathan Zuckerman, the adjutant of the Duke of Peletta and a new swordmaster, also played a part in silencing them.

Of course, the compensation for the dark mages working in the cemetery was never bad. Dark mages were simply mages who suffered from groundless... or not so groundless rumors and prejudices, but they were certainly not pushovers.
