The corridor was long and silent. Their footsteps echoed softly against the marble floor; their rhythm was steady and controlled.

Eirene walked beside Naomi. Her hands were folded in front of her. She stood tall, but her chest felt tight with racing thoughts.

“Starting today. Once every five days.”

Yoren’s words echoed clearly in her mind, accompanied by his flat, almost emotionless tone. To him, the schedule was nothing more than ordinary numbe

    Eirene sat in the back seat of the car, restless and unable to suppress it. Her back was straight, but her thoughts were in chaos. Her hands were clasped tightly on her lap, her fingers pressing against each other unconsciously.Outside, the scenery whizzed past. The streetlights, buildings and tree shadows flashed by, failing to register in Eirene’s awareness. To her, the journey to the Palace felt much longer than usual this time.Eirene’s mind was preoccupied with only one thing. She couldn't stop thinking about Yoren, even though they had only last met a couple of hours ago.At that time, Yoren had indeed looked exhausted. His face was pale, his steps were slower than usual and there was something in his eyes that Eirene could not ignore.Yet Yoren still stood tall. He had spoken calmly. He still looked like himself.Eirene thought that everything happening to Yoren was normal. At the time, she tried to convince herself that he was merely tired or overworked.Unfortunately, that u

    Naomi stood in the palace courtyard, her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood alert, her gaze fixed on the gate, occasionally glancing at the guards moving about in the distance.There was impatience on Naomi’s face. Her foot tapped repeatedly against the marble floor, with no clear rhythm. “What a terrible week,” she muttered quietly, more to herself than to anyone else. “I can’t believe I’ve had to deal with Lady Paige three times in one week.”Naomi glanced at her watch for what felt like the hundredth time. It had been almost half an hour since she had contacted Paige, and there was still no sign of her. “Why isn't she here yet?” she grumbled, letting out a long sigh. “Surely she’s not still choosing a dress?”Footsteps approached from the side, making Naomi turn briefly. The stream of complaints lingering at the tip of her tongue vanished instantly when she saw who it was:Ruth appeared with her usual calm demeanour. Her face showed little expression, but her gaze was sh

    The special treatment room was located far from the main area of the palace: isolated, quiet and heavily guarded. Access was restricted; not everyone could enter without permission. Even the air inside felt different—colder and cleaner, as if every particle of dust had been filtered countless times before being allowed in.Yoren sat at the edge of the examination bed. His shoulders were hunched slightly forward, one hand resting on his knee and the other hanging weakly at his side. He appeared still, but not calm. He looked like someone holding something back—something invisible yet heavy enough to affect his breathing.Louise stood in front of him, looking serious. The examination device in her hand still glowed faintly, casting a soft light across its surface. She didn’t speak immediately after finishing the check-up. Instead, she paused for a few seconds—longer than necessary for such a simple conclusion.“Alpha,” Louise finally said. Her voice was low but firm. “Your condition is

    A woman could be seen standing near the door on the left side of the screen. Her striking pink hair made her easy to notice.Fabrizio stared at the screen without blinking. The conversation from the hallway earlier flashed back into his mind.“… I definitely didn't waste my holiday at the start of the year.”“You know? Covering your shift last Monday was exhausting.Fabrizio’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Zoom in,” he said quietly.The technician carried out his order and enlarged the image.The waitress’s face wasn’t very clear, but it was clear enough to confirm her identity. She was indeed the same waitress from the hallway earlier.Fabrizio said nothing for a few seconds. He simply stared at the image, then began to connect the dots and piece everything together. “This footage,” he said slowly, “has been tampered with.”The room fell silent instantly. No one spoke for a moment. Fabrizio’s statement strongly suggested that the glitches were intentional.The narrow hallway behind the ca

    Fabrizio didn’t move immediately after Yoren and Ruth left the corridor. He stood still for a few seconds to make sure their footsteps had truly faded, before finally turning around and heading towards Yoren’s office.Fabrizio’s steps were calm and measured, as usual. However, his mind was never truly still.Fabrizio opened the office door. He stepped inside and closed it quietly behind him.The room still felt warm; the memory of Yoren’s presence had not completely faded. The desk was covered in unsorted files, some of which were still open and displayed notes and unfinished signatures.Fabrizio carefully placed Yoren’s briefcase on the desk, then tidied it slightly. His movements were efficient and made little to no sound.He didn’t leave immediately afterwards. Instead, he took his phone out of his inner jacket pocket and called Garrison.Once the call was answered, Fabrizio didn’t waste time. “What are the results of your investigation?”There was a brief pause before Garrison rep

    Yoren clearly remembered what Louise had said that morning. He was not allowed to push himself.The message was simple and delivered in Louise’s usual calm tone. Yet, for some reason, it had been echoing in his mind ever since he had sat down at his desk. He did not ignore it. He was not one to take warnings lightly, especially from someone like Louise.Unfortunately, the situation he faced gave Yoren little choice. His desk was covered in files, some open and others neatly stacked and waiting their turn. The screen displayed a packed schedule for the coming weeks: meetings, appointments, document reviews and important agendas that could not be postponed.Two days of absence had created a small gap that had quickly turned into a pile. Everything had to be completed immediately before it grew even more.Yoren shifted one file, opened it and read through it quickly. His eyes moved efficiently from one line to the next. He picked up a pen, signed the document, and closed it again.Next,

    A thin mist still lingered along the Velmora border when the steady, orderly and disciplined sound of the guards’ footsteps echoed repeatedly. Magical torches, placed at measured intervals, cast a yellowish glow over the damp ground and leaves, which had not yet dried fully from the night-t

    The living room of Sabrina’s apartment felt warm that afternoon, even though it had just rained outside. A standing lamp glowed with a yellowish light while the television played an entertainment show that they were not paying much attention to. On the floor, right in front of the sofa, the

    The Ledger never looked suspicious—that was its advantage. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary bar: a fairly well-established, middle-class entertainment venue with a dark façade, dim lighting, a tarnished signboard with gold letters, and thick glass doors that were always n

    The car door closed softly yet firmly. A palace guard bowed respectfully before stepping back.Paige sat perfectly upright in the back seat. Her back was straight and her chin was slightly lifted—the posture of someone unaccustomed to defeat.As soon as the door shut, the driv
