I groaned, waking up from my sleep. The golden canopy greeted me in the dark room, the moon shone brightly outside the window signifying that it was still in the middle of the night. My first expression upon waking up was a huge frown. Why'd I suddenly think of my past life? I was in a sleepy daze when I opened my eyes, and somehow my brain just decided to take me on a trip through memory lane.  What for?  It'd be easier if I could have gone with this second life without thinking about it, you know. My head was racked with the feeling of helplessness. Although I always kept a mask of calm around everyone, my psyche was rattled.&n

As soon as I arrived at the palace, Elle threw a ruckus, sobbing about my apparently poor toe. But I was the one who’s embarrassed. I mean, it was just a small injury that I could take care of myself with just a normal treatment, even without the help of magic, potion, or some sort.  I might look like this, but I’m pretty good at first aid. When I used to do concerts abroad or went to shoot in rural areas, even if I got hurt or sick, I didn’t have time to go to the hospital.  If I get hurt and I’m in pain, I'd be at a disadvantage because I wouldn’t be able to do my job properly. It’d also be burdensome for me and for others  So, I have to know, at least, the basics.  Anyway, only after the royal healer told her that th

What the fuck! How the hell did I keep bumping into this psycho? Is he my stalker or what?  I walked past him, pretending I didn't see him, foolishly hoping that it'd somehow work. He narrowed his eyes as he smirked at me. "Are you ignoring me? Did you just pretend not to see me?" "You got the wrong person, sir," I gave him an innocent look.  He blinked at me and then... "Pfft..." He suddenly burst into a fit of laughter. "Nice try, princess." I sighed in defeat. It's not like I expect him to fall for my poor attempt at brushing him off. Well, at least I tried. Cursing my unlucky self, I

Three days passed by in a flash and tomorrow was already the day for the soldiers to go to the war. I was in a constant state of distress thinking about the war, but the atmosphere of the capital was not so at all.  Everyone said we would just win and come back, and some even laughed and joked about those who were going to war. This time ruled by the scumbag emperor, Frederick Maximillan Astaseulwill probably be recorded in history as a peaceful dynasty for the empire.  But outside of the empire, wars of both large and small scale were never ending.  In contrast, the empire's prosperity was so great that it could afford to send aid to other kingdoms at war at whim, enabling us to expand some parts of

Maria arrived at the southern border today. To start the journey, the envoy is meeting at the outskirts of the capital. Since the empire is so large that it's a place that would take forever to reach on foot, the entire personnel decided to use the gate to cross over. Because of the announcement that they would gather in the outskirts of the capital and depart, they were moving in a carriage in front of the temple. As they went along, more and more people could be seen gathered outside from the window. Looking at the knights standing upright in line, the color contrast was enough to easily distinguish between the White Eagle Knights and the Black Viper Knights. The white and gold colored uniforms of the White Eagle and the black and navy colored uniforms of the Black Viper Knights gave off different feelings.
