Chapter 7 • ────── ✦ ────── • Reason for Falling in Love “Yes.” So much time had passed, yet she had only received one invitation from the noblewomen? Ikali was surprised, but Psyche’s face remained calm. Anger began to build inside of him. “It's a salon hosted by the Marchioness Williams. I sent a short reply saying I would go.” Ikali went silent. But everyone, especially the servants nearby, could tell he was furious. Hans, standing behind him was dismayed, he al

Chapter 6 • ────── ✦ ────── • An Act of Protest His expression was mocking, but his eyes were dull and lifeless. If she hated it that much, she could go out into society or go shopping. How was he supposed to interpret the fact that she kept appearing before his eyes? Is she trying to protest against me? He already knew that Psyche hadn't wanted this marriage. A marriage forced upon her because of money. Only the groom had changed, the terms of the marriage offere

Chapter 5 • ────── ✦ ────── • The Devil's Spawn Even though Anna is her closest confidant, it was best to keep her words to herself as little as possible. She certainly couldn’t say that she had seen the future, that she was unloved by her husband for over four years, or, to make matters worse, that the entire family would be destroyed for treason. Instead of offering a complicated explanation, Psyche simply smiled. “It wouldn't be proper for me, who was sold to t

Chapter 4 • ────── ✦ ────── • As Soon As Possible “You are right, Madam. It would not be proper for me, who was once betrothed to Young Master Warren, to keep you standing out here like this.” “I’m glad we're on the same page, Princess Psyche.” A satisfied smile spread across Madam Tilly’s face. Psyche stared at the her with emotionless eyes. “However, as you said, I was sold to the current Duke. As such, I would not dare to defy his will.” “What—!” Madam T

Chapter 3 • ────── ✦ ────── • Nothing More Than A Delicious Prey “M-Madam, are you okay?” “I'm fine. So, there's no need to go to the Duke.” “But...” Anna’s heart sank at her madam’s haggard appearance. Her cheeks, which had been as white as a drawing paper, were red and raw from crying so much. Psyche adjusted her slipping robe. “I'd like to take a bath to clear my head. You can draw the bath water, and Anna, please prepare some soup. I need to eat something

Chapter 2 • ────── ✦ ────── • She Was the Fool All Along Since that, she was imprisoned without seeing a single ray of light. How did it come to this? No, how did it happen? Tears streamed down her gaunt cheeks, with new ones forming the moment the old ones dried. Every time she moved her scrawny arms, the handcuffs connected to the ceiling clattered. The jailer had told her she had been in this cell for four months. It had been over a hundred days. Though she had

Chapter 1 • ────── ✦ ────── • The Boy from Childhood It was four years ago, when Pysche was espoused into the Demiosis ducal family of the empire. It was March, when the peach blossoms bloomed. Some called her marriage a transaction to settle the kingdom's debt. Others said she was fortunate to join a ducal family instead of becoming an old nobleman's second wife. After all, her marriage had been broken once before and it was due to an unavoidable circumstance. The fami

Chapter 3 • ────── ✦ ────── • A Part of My Body Vianna shook her head at Delcia's declaration that she would offer her own heart. “No, no. I can't allow that.” “But, Vianna!” Delcia looked at Vianna, with a flushed face. But Vianna did not budge. “Why, why not?” “I've granted a similar wish before. The result…didn’t go well. I can't let it happen again this time. If that's your only wish, go back home.” Delcia clasped her hands together and pleaded. “P-please, use my heart t

Chapter 2 • ────── ✦ ────── • The Witch Who Grants Wishes “I'm sorry, Delcia.” Delcia’s brother, Arnold, apologised. Delcia, who had clung to him and cried for a long time, slowly shook her head. This was no one's fault. Everything was the cruelty of war, and all of this was something that those who fought in the war had to endure. Delcia was also one of those who had to endure it. She had to. She knew that fact well in her head. She was a strong person, so she cou

Chapter 1 • ────── ✦ ────── • For You Today was different from the other days that were just a repetition of long waits. With her sapphire-blue eyes full of excitement, Delcia was waiting for her beloved, Edwin. The servants were also busy preparing to welcome him. Finally, the moment had come. Today was the day Edwin returned from the western frontier, where he had gone to fight the war against the Kingdom of Polta. After returning safely from the battlefield, her w

Chapter 6 • ────── ✦ ────── • Negotiations (2) But Solita couldn't trust the marquess who was looking for his ex-wife and her child whom he had abandoned all this time. Rather, if Ethiel were alive, Solita would have felt reassured, but she couldn't leave this child alone. Young Calliope looked at her with determined, sunken eyes. Eyes she had never seen before while taking care of her with Ethiel. Solita, who had been taking care of her with her mother Ethiel since the chil

Chapter 5 • ────── ✦ ────── • Negotiations (1) After checking her hair, Calliope realized that she wasn’t having lucid dreams but had travelled back in time. Knock. Knock. The sound broke Calliope from her reverie and lifted her head. A gentle knock was coming from the dilapidated door. Knowing who was on the other side of the door, she quietly approached and opened it. A man with dark circles under his eyes stood there, immaculately dressed against the backdrop of the cloud

Chapter 4 • ────── ✦ ────── • A Goal You Must Achieve The next day, Calliope headed to Dora's smithy. Dora, who used to be a member of a successful mercenary group, had settled in this town with her husband. Her husband's parents lived here, and whenever she drank, "Settling in this village was the stupidest decision of my life!" To put it bluntly, Baron Hubert is a terrible ruler of the manor, who does not do the slightest bit for the manor, does not lower the tax rate, fil

Chapter 3 • ────── ✦ ────── • Survive But that's not the case with death in real life. As though in a rush, her strength drained out, her dry and quivering eyelids froze as if frozen in time. That particular moment happened so fast. “M-Mother.” No tears came out. Her mother’s death was something she had experienced once. Contrary to Solita’s words that she had died comfortably without opening her eyes, the reason her mother’s eyes opened was not because of divine mercy. Soli

Chapter 2 • ────── ✦ ────── • Regression “Ah…….” Calliope unknowingly let out a groan. The cold wind that was seeping through the gaps of the broken shutters was hitting her cheeks. She sucked in a cold breath and gripped the worn quilt she pulled to her out of habit, clutching it so tightly as if it were to tear. Waking up what seems to be like a long dream, she felt a stabbing pain digging through her hazy head. This was the house where she lived when she was young. Is t

Chapter 1 • ────── ✦ ────── • A Joyous Day WARNING: Suicide A day when all humans except herself is blessed. The sky is blindingly blue, and the sun is higher than ever before. A day when a cruel god bestows light upon her alone, caring for all living beings on the earth. Yes, a day when everyone else is intoxicated with joy, raising voices of exultation, and praising the human heroes. • ───────── ☽༓☾ ───────── • Like a sick person, Calliope’s hair which was now completely w
