Chapter 5 **** 02. A Fateful Encounter Clop. Clop. As the carriage rolled down the narrow path, a vast forest spread out before them. Elain couldn’t take her eyes off the view from the carriage window. The estate was so big it was incomparable to the mansion of the Marquis of Berlois. “Father. Is the Helkaiser family we’re visiting today wealthy?” “Since they command the nation’s military, I wouldn’t say they lack money.” “Does having an army make them rich? So power and money...
Chapter 101 **** He felt his nerves on edge. As he slowly dripped the pungent liquid into the narrow, damp space, her flushed face twisted slightly. She seemed to genuinely hate the taste of the potion. But he couldn’t relate to what she was feeling. He could sense the pungent, grassy scent and the intense bitterness that stung his taste buds, but those sensations did not translate into discomfort for him. Varkas repeatedly thrust his tongue into her tightly clenched mouth, then withdrew it,...
Chapter 111 *** Isabelle’s dry, chapped lips trembled slightly. In this large hospital equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and staffed by the finest specialists of the era, his wife had seen a female doctor. It took her quite some time to come to terms with that simple fact. It was simply too hard to believe. "...Why?" Edmund said nothing. His expression was indifferent, as if to say there was no need for an explanation. That silence cut through her heart all the more cruelly. The...
Chapter 134 *** “I see. So you drove everyone out of the royal palace…” Through the half-collapsed ceiling, she could see the clear sky. A tawny eagle circled the sky, where wisps of clouds drifted by. The spirits swarming around her spoke in unison. This is where you belong. ‘This is where...
Chapter 4 *** As Elain shut her eyes tightly, her thick lashes trembled slightly and drooped downward. Beneath her skin, so translucent that the blood vessels were faintly visible, her pupils shifted several times behind her eyelids before she finally regained her composure. "Deckard." Her grayish-blue eyes locked onto Deckard’s, and he met her gaze without flinching. “Speak.” Elain hesitated no longer. For Deckard, a shortcut—however treacherous—was preferable to a safe return....
Chapter 3 *** "Ah." "As I’ve told you over a hundred times already." "You’ve been counting them? You pervert." Elain vowed that if she were ever to meet her end on the execution block, she would haunt his nightmares as a ghost. But only after she had taken revenge on those who had framed her family for treason. Whether he was aware of her vow or not, Deckard shuffled toward the bed. Then, in a flippant posture with his legs spread wide, he plopped down on it. Elain lowered her head, trying...
Chapter 2 *** “If your wife is that precious to you, shouldn’t you avoid betting her as a stake?” “Huh? No, that’s not—” “Are you messing with me?” When Deckard swept the chips piled high on the table aside with a single finger, his opponent’s face flushed bright red. No matter how famous the Duke’s second son was for his wild partying, the fact remained that he was Hellkaiser’s mad dog. “Go on.” He smiled. His golden eyes, with pupils so concentrated they seemed to...
Chapter 100 *** Lucas immediately turned and ran away. Daren, who had been watching the scene nearby, clicked his tongue with a worried expression. “Aren’t you taking this a bit too far? What are you thinking, making him harbor ill will toward you?” “Lucas is currently the Grand Duke’s sole heir. If anything were to happen to me, that boy would have to carry on the family line.” Varkas said flatly. “If anything, I’d like to ask what on earth made you let things get to that...
Chapter 99 *** The castle lord, who was watching him with a stern expression, gave an awkward smile and scratched the back of his head. “I acted rashly. I’m sorry if I offended you.” Varkas, who had been staring at him with cold eyes, crossed the courtyard. In front of the city gate, a cavalry unit that had already finished preparing for departure stood in formation. As Varkas scanned them, he spotted Talia walking along the dirt road and stopped in his tracks. Her neatly braided light...

The Price of Saving A Wicked Beast Translator: Rae Although spring had only just begun, it rained all day long as if the early summer monsoon had already arrived. The search of the valley was completely suspended. When Roem, soaked through by the rain, entered the manor, Elise hurriedly dried his hair with a thick towel. A tragedy. It was nothing short of a tragedy. The first thing Roem heard upon returning from Clayton in time for the young Grand Duke’s wedding was the news that the carriage...
