“I’d say it’s audacious.”... more>>

Kaiden looked down at Trinity trapped beneath his arms and gasped for breath.

Unlike the bold demeanor she had displayed in her counterattack, Trinity’s body was small and delicate enough to fit snugly in his embrace.

The moment he met her dark eyes, wide with surprise, Kaiden tightened his arms involuntarily.

Thick sinews bulged in his arms as he struggled to keep himself from collapsing onto her.

“I’d say it’s remarkable.”

His opposite hand, not touching the ground, cradled Trinity’s head. The palm held her soft hair, while the back of the hand was in contact with the harsh wintry chill of the ground.

Trinity shuddered as she squeezed his hand, the sensation unfamiliar but not unwelcome.

Kaiden’s hand trembled with hers.

“Perhaps, it might be both.”

Kaiden Calskronin is a member of the Magic Knights Order and has spent three years patrolling the borderlands before enrolling in the magic academy.

While chasing after the monstrous Trinity, he is reunited with Rosiana when he is forced to enroll in the Kantaean Academy of Magic.

Rosiana Delconda is a wind mage who can see spirits. Along with Luperne, the guardian spirit of the Escalona Empire, she battles evil spirits in the guise of the Rogue Trinity, often getting into trouble with Kaiden, who tries to capture her. <<less

In the midst of a harmonious and blissful newlywed life with her beloved child and dependable husband, she was surrounded by happiness, every moment a precious gift, even if it meant trading her own life.... more>>

Or so she thought. But then, she died.

...Huh?

***

'I didn't mean I actually wanted to die!'

She was sure she had only fallen asleep and woken up, but when she came to her senses, she found herself a translucent body floating in mid-air.

How perplexing.

"Hey, can't you see me? You too, over there? ...Butler? Head maid?"

To her utter confusion, not only had four years passed since her death, but she had also become a ghost.

"...Oh my?"

-…

"Oh, oh my, it's true? ... it's true?"

Apparently, her ghostly form was only visible to her four-year-old son. Left with no choice, she initially pretended to be a guardian angel sent by his mother to watch over her son. However, upon observing the clear signs of neglect he had endured while being confined to the attic of the mansion, her heart sank.

As if that wasn't enough,

"My baby, how long have you been living here?"

-I'm not a baby...

“...Right. So, what's your name?"

"... Young Master?"

...He didn't even have a name at the age of four.

Had my f*cking husband lost his mind? When had he ever shown any genuine gratitude for me giving birth to our child?

She vowed to give her husband, who was currently away on business, a piece of her mind when he returned. She would avenge the suffering her son had endured.

With that thought in mind, she gritted her teeth. But then she noticed...

'...What on earth is that?'

His once handsome face was now gaunt and haggard, with dark circles etched beneath his sharp, piercing eyes.

She was shocked by the stark difference from the last time she had seen him.

-I can't quite remember how your voice sounded anymore...

Consumed by grief over the loss of his wife, he had lost his sanity. <<less

The Great Emperor Kailas, who liberated the Merfolk who had been living as s*aves to humans, falls into a trap set by the Pope, who despises the Merfolk, and is transformed into a mere baby black panther.... more>>

"Oh, oh, what a cute kitty."

"Ughhh!!" (No, you woman!)

Cioranne, the saintess who played the biggest role in setting the trap, picks up Kailas, who has become a baby black panther, not knowing who he is. At that moment, she receives a quest from the Holy See...

[Quest: You, be my servant]

Cioranne, who has never even grown a single blade of grass, finds herself fated to take care of Kailas, who has become a baby black panther without fail.

"Huh? Cats are supposed to like catnip, but why aren't you reacting?"

"Grrr!" (I'm a human! Not a cat!)

The dangerous cohabitation of Kailas, who has become a mere pet for the novice servant Cioranne. Will Kailas be able to become the great emperor again? <<less

Erdene, the heir to the belligerent Hirshstein Empire, the next owner of the throne, the iron-blooded princess. What awaited her, who had returned victorious from a long war, was the position of queen of the Kingdom of Vetor, a kingdom she had never held a grudge against.... more>>

"This cannot be! How can Your Majesty do this to Her Highness the Princess!"

Erdene, who had to accept everything that was changing without her being able to do anything about it, and a life that she had never thought would be her future.

And the king who came to meet her, Arkan, a king who hated 'violence' and loved peace and reading.

The moment Erdene met him, she thought.

'This man is not right for me.'

* * *

"All I had to do was say 'I'm sorry', but you're making it sound like a serious confession, that's why."

"This is ridiculous. So in the Empire, do you just hit someone and say 'Oops, sorry?' and move on?"

"It's the other way around. Do you think our people are some kind of back-alley thugs?"

"Who said that?"

The woman with jet-black hair pulled back roughly frowned her white and fair face and said.

"If you hit us once, we'll hit you back twice. That's how we apologize, Your Majesty."

Then, a man who looked as gentle as a large dog glared and slammed his fist on the table.

"What kind of apology is that! What country calls that an apology?"

"Our country."

The woman sneered.

The man, who had been looking at her with an expression of disbelief, also burst out laughing and turned his head away.

Turning their backs on each other like sulky children, the two people, ironically, were thinking the same thing.

'What the hell is this!' <<less
