021 Aldor 2

Chapter 021 Aldor 2The sky above Aldor darkened, and the cold wind carried the scent of damp earth and smoke from the torches lit along the fortress city's streets. Inside a tightly sealed meeting room, Alwyn sat at a long table with maps of Aldor and Ironvale spread out before him. Marcel and Wilham stood at his sides, while across from them, Edric Valmond and Calen sat silently, each with expressions difficult to decipher.“The latest report we received mentions movement from an armed group near the mines,” Wilham said, his tone flat yet sharp. “Not much, but enough to make the workers uneasy.”Edric sighed, his hands clenched on the table. “We’ve sent additional patrols there. But so far, there’s no sign of open resistance.”“Because they’re not that foolish,” Marcel interrupted, narrowing his eyes sharply at Edric. “They know when to move and when to hide. If we rely only on patrols without decisive action, we’re just waiting for them to be ready to strike.”Edric seemed ready to

022 Three Guest

Chapter 022 Three GuestsIt had been two days since Hugh left the Manor for a regional inspection and to observe the progress of the Skythia Castle construction. Initially, Alwyn wanted to prioritize building a railway and a station to access the deeper regions of Skythia. However, Hugh insisted on prioritizing the castle's construction over the railway. His reasoning was that Skythia had only just been conquered, and the possibility of resistance groups still operating in the area remained. Therefore, the defense at the heart of Skythia needed to take precedence.The debate over constructing the castle as a defense center versus building the railway to facilitate the distribution of essential supplies across Skythia was quite intense. Not only was Skythia a new region, with much of it devastated by the war, but the available funds also had to be carefully allocated for various other needs. On top of that, Hugh's frequent absences due to urgent matters meant that the planning and appr

023 Griffith

Chapter 023: GriffithA while after the incident with the trio of viscountesses, Atthy sat cross-legged by the window, holding a book whose contents she didn’t understand. With her gaze focused outside, watching a scenery unfamiliar to her, her mind was busy contemplating many things, her dangling leg swinging back and forth.''Should I?!''''But, he left without saying anything to me...''''Although... he did it because there was an urgent matter.''''But... this marriage was sudden for me too. So, what should I do now?''''How should I explain this to Father... to Grandfather... to...''Atthy murmured seriously, throwing various questions to herself. So deep in thought, she forgot that she was wearing a glory gown and was in the Manor. While there wasn’t a written rule, her posture as a lady sitting in this manner seemed unconventional.''Duchess...''''Duchess...''Lily called out several times to Atthy, who was lost in her dilemma.''Hmm!'' Atthy was startled when Lily finally dar

024 Integrity

Chapter 024: IntegrityAtthy sat lost in thought, contemplating the stories her father and Ay had shared with her. She couldn’t help but wonder why the tales circulating among the people of Nauruan about Grand Duke Griffith seemed so different from what she had just heard from Lily.''Duchess!'' Lily called out, noticing Atthy’s silence and serious expression as she seemed deep in thought.''Hm,'' Atthy responded, raising an eyebrow as she acknowledged Lily, ''No, I’m just... thinking about a few things.''''Umh, is there anything else you’d like to ask, Duchess?''Atthy looked closely at Lily before responding.''Lily, are you happy working at the orphanage?''This time, Lily didn’t immediately respond. She paused for a moment, then answered Atthy’s question with a serious tone.''Forgive me, Duchess,'' Lily began.Atthy tilted her head in confusion at Lily’s apology.Lily took a deep breath before continuing.''I can’t answer whether I’m happy...''''Why not?''''At first, I worked

025 Observing in Silence

Chapter 025: Observing in SilenceIn a modest yet meticulously arranged study, Cavero sat at his desk, reading an official letter he had just received. The letter—delivered through proper channels and approved by Hugh—contained a brief update on the situation in Aldor and Skythia, one that might impact the port’s security.Outside, the harbor appeared calm, but Cavero knew tension was quietly brewing beneath the surface. Merchant ships were docked as usual, yet there was too much movement—odd, subtle shifts that shouldn’t be there. He tapped his fingers lightly against the desk, deep in thought, before returning his gaze to the letter in hand.Moments later, his most trusted aide, Dani, entered with measured steps and reported, “Your Highness, the latest report from the watch post indicates increased infiltration activity at the docks. All security protocols have been rechecked per Duke Griffith’s instructions.”Cavero met Dani’s eyes with composed authority, replying curtly, “Make su
