The Name Hidden by Time

The morning in the Prime Minister’s office began unusually quietly.Kiara was seated behind her desk, reviewing a stack of documents while Camilia sat nearby, several books and reports spread across the table. Camilia’s platinum-blonde hair was tied neatly into a ponytail, and a pair of delicate glasses rested on her nose.She looked every bit like the brilliant alchemist she was.The door opened.Dane walked in.There was something suspiciously pleased about his expression.Kiara immediately narrowed her eyes.Camilia looked up.“Good morning, Dane.”Dane didn't answer immediately.Instead, he walked toward her and placed a transparent glass jar on the table.Inside were several rare alchemical herbs.Even Camilia's expression changed.Her eyes widened.“Where did you get these?”Dane smiled.“I heard you slapped tha

The Emperor Who Was Challenged

The Main Imperial Hall had never felt so crowded.Every prominent noble family had been summoned.The Emperor sat upon the imperial throne, his expression cold and severe. To his right stood the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. On his left were the Second Prince, Lady Simone, and Princess Amelia.Rows of nobles filled the enormous hall, whispering among themselves.They weren't here merely because they had been summoned.They were here because they wanted drama.And everyone knew it.A few nobles exchanged excited glances, already speculating about what had happened between Minister Camilia and the Crown Prince.Then the enormous doors opened.Kiara stepped inside.The whispers immediately died.She walked through the hall with her usual calm expression, her footsteps echoing against the polished marble floor.Hundreds of eyes followed her.Some were curious.Some were judgmental.Some were practically begging for entertainment.And Amelia...Amelia was smiling.It was the kind of smi

THE NAME THAT STILL HELD POWER

For a split second, even the Emperor seemed unsure of what to do.Then his expression hardened.He rose from his throne and strode toward Kiara, his voice echoing through the imperial hall.“No matter what, she will come with us today. She must be punished for what she did yesterday. How dare a woman slap my son? How dare a subject use violence against the Crown Prince?”The nobles fell silent.Some lowered their heads.Others leaned forward, eager for the spectacle.Kiara merely scoffed.She stood slowly, then kicked the chair beside her with enough force that it skidded across the marble floor and stopped directly in front of the Emperor.The entire hall froze.Kiara's eyes remained cold.“Did you even ask why she slapped him?”The Emperor's brows furrowed.Kiara continued, her voice calm but cutting.“Or did your precious Crown Prince conve

The Price of Blind Love

The hallway outside the Imperial Hall had finally fallen silent.Kiara stood among Dane, Victor, Bright, Camilia, and the others, her expression unreadable. The confrontation with the Emperor had ended, but the tension still clung to the air.Then a soft voice came from behind.“I apologize on Ian’s behalf, Kiara. He was under considerable stress.”Everyone turned.Katherine stood there.Kiara slowly faced her.For a moment, she said nothing. Then she gave a quiet, humorless scoff.“People don't send assassins to someone's chambers in the middle of the night because they're stressed.”Katherine's face immediately paled.Kiara continued, her voice calm but cutting.“And when someone makes a mistake, they should have enough courage to take responsibility for it themselves. They shouldn't run away like a three-year-old and send someone else to apologize for the

A Home for the Heart

The door to the quiet sitting room opened without a sound.Simone looked up.The moment she saw Kiara standing there, she quickly wiped the tears from her cheeks and forced a smile.“How are you, Kiara?Kiara studied her for a moment before walkinginside and taking the seat opposite her.“It has been three months since your marriage.Simone's smile faltered.“You still have hope left?”The teapot in Simone's hand stopped halfway toward her cup.For a few seconds, she said nothing.Then she slowly placed it down and gave a sad smile“I suppose this is why people say you should never fall in love.”Her eyes lowered.“Because eventually, all it brings you is pain.”Kiara tapped one finger lightly against the table.“Love is the second name of misery, Simone.Simone looked up.Kiara's expression remaine
