“Yes.”

That was strange.

From what little I had seen of their relationship, Mireya didn’t seem like the kind of person who showed up in Kian’s chambers before dawn to make casual conversation.

“What did she want?”

Kian rested his forearms on his legs and leaned slightly forward.

“She knew you were leaving.”

“But you told the household I was taking the day off, right?”

“Yes... but that wasn’t what concerned me.”

I stayed quiet.

His eyes met mine.

“She said people are asking questions

  • I Returned to Kill Monsters, and Created the Worst One   Chapter 122 — Under the Name of Varesh

    Elara VeyneI returned to my room with the unpleasant feeling that I had just made an important decision without having absolutely any decent plan for how to carry it out.I opened the travel case on the bed and started separating what I would need to take, trying to turn anxiety into something minimally useful. Simple clothes, treatment materials, some herbs, the bottles I still had, documents, enough stones for emergencies.Or at least the stones I had at that moment.Kian had promised to take care of the rest.For some reason, that part made me even more nervous.I didn’t know exactly what he was planning and, considering the suspicious calm with which he had told me to leave it to him, it was probably going to be something I would discover too late to stop.I pushed a shirt aside and tried to think only about Aldervane.The first thing I would do when I arrived was find Edda.Before any property, any investigation, or any stupid attempt to enter somewhere where there were probably

  • I Returned to Kill Monsters, and Created the Worst One   Chapter 121 — Then You Intend to Come Back

    Elara VeyneMy brain took a full second to understand the sentence.“No.”Kian didn’t even blink.“Elara... You just told me you’re going back to deal with people who hurt you.”My body went rigid.Damn it.“That doesn’t mean you can abandon Namarra and cross the continent with me.”“I can.”“You’re the crown prince.”“I know.”“Your engagement has just been suspended, your father is already watching every step I take, and you’ve only just started taking on public responsibilities again. You can’t simply announce that you’ve decided to go traveling on another continent with a maid.”Kian looked at me for a few seconds.“You’re not a maid.”That made me stop.“Officially, I’m many inconvenient things, and none of them make this any less absurd.”“That’s easy to fix.”I narrowed my eyes. I hadn’t liked the way he said that.He looked irritatingly calm.“I understand that you need to go. What I’m not going to do is let you leave alone after what you just told me.”“You don’t need to let

  • I Returned to Kill Monsters, and Created the Worst One   Chapter 120 — Someone Hurt You

    Elara VeyneKian became more attentive.“What did they do?”The question came low, in a way I didn’t like at all.“I didn’t say they did anything.”“You don’t need to say anything. I can see it.”That was becoming familiar.I breathed through my nose.“It’s not that simple.”“It usually isn’t when you answer like that.”I took my hands away from the table and started walking slowly around the room.I needed to move.Standing still in front of him while trying to speak felt impossible.“I thought I knew exactly what I was looking for when I came to Namarra. If I could get close enough and gather what I needed, I would resolve it.”My gaze dropped for a moment to my own hands.“But other things started appearing.”First Light.The children.The girl who had been taken.The records.The routes used by the Caldris.All of it was bigger than just Gideon.Maybe it always had been.“And now?” Kian asked.I stopped near the window.“Now there are other people involved.”I thought of the girl.

  • I Returned to Kill Monsters, and Created the Worst One   Chapter 119 — I Need to Go Back

    Elara VeyneI spent the rest of the afternoon trying to decide how to tell Kian that I needed to leave.I quickly discovered there were many bad ways to start that conversation and not a single particularly good one.I received a letter and need to cross half the continent.It seemed like too little.There is a child probably being held by people connected to the family that destroyed my first life, so I need to go back before they do something to her like what they did to me.Definitely too much information.The problem was that, for a long time, hiding things from Kian had been simple.He was a prince I needed to keep alive.I was a maid who had made an overly convenient agreement with a dying man.He would receive treatment.I would receive money, stones, and access to things I would never have been able to reach on my own.Then each of us would go on with our own lives.It had been an excellent plan.Until it stopped being one.Now I couldn’t simply disappear for a few weeks and e

  • I Returned to Kill Monsters, and Created the Worst One   Chapter 118 — She Is Alive

    Chapter 118 — She Is AliveElara VeyneThe letter arrived that afternoon.I was heading back to the kitchen when one of the staff found me in the corridor with an envelope in her hands.“This was delivered for you.”I stopped immediately when I recognized the handwriting on my name.It was from Edda.I took the envelope too quickly and realized it too late to pretend indifference.“Who brought it?”“A messenger. He already left.”Could it have been Harun?I tightened my fingers around the letter and looked around.I wasn’t going to open it in the corridor.Especially not now that I knew Rayan had men paying attention to my movements and probably recording even how many times I decided to change direction for no reason.So I changed direction for a reason.I went back to my room, closed the door, and locked it.Only then did I sit on the edge of the bed and open the envelope.The letter was short.That immediately worried me.Edda never wasted words when she believed something was urgen

  • I Returned to Kill Monsters, and Created the Worst One   Chapter 117 — The Sarefs Leave

    Elara VeyneThe Saref family left Namarra two days later.I knew the departure was happening before I even saw the carriages, because the entire palace seemed to have decided to announce it on its own. Since early morning, servants had been crossing the corridors carrying trunks, boxes, and luggage toward the main courtyard, while coachmen, soldiers, and members of the entourage organized everything with that irritating efficiency that only appeared when some important family was leaving.When I went downstairs after breakfast, half the carriages were already ready.It should have been a pleasant sight to see.Naima leaving, far away from me.Far away from Kian.Far from the corridors where she could simply send a maid to summon me as if I were some inconvenient obligation that needed to be dealt with between lunch and tea.It was exactly what I should have wanted.Even so, I stood near one of the archways, watching the last horses being harnessed to the carriages, and the feeling tha
