LOGINA quiet silence filled the infirmary.Kiara sat beside the bed with her eyes closed, unaware that the person lying before her was awake.For some reason, her heart felt strangely restless.Even after four years…Even after everything that had happened…Even after remembering fragments of her previous life…She still could not understand one thing.Why did this man feel so familiar?She had never truly met him.She was certain of it.Then why...Why did looking at him stir an affection she could not explain?
Ian remained trapped inside his chambers.His mind refused to accept what he had witnessed the previous night."How...?""How could he return?""He should be dead..."The words written upon the mirror haunted him.> How are you, big brother?His hands trembled.For the first time in years, the eldest prince was genuinely afraid.---The following morning...The Prime Minister's Cabinet was unusually lively.Ministers had already gathered before the meeting began.The heavy doors opened.Princess Kiara entered, dressed in an elegant olive-green velvet suit paired with a satin white shirt beneath it. Her hair was neatly tied into a high ponytail, giving her an authoritative yet graceful appearance.She took two steps......and froze.Standing inside the cabinet room was Grand Duke Alcred Silver Celestial.He wore deep olive-green military robes embroidered with silver thread that strangely matched Kiara's outfit almost perfectly.For a brief second...their eyes met.Neither spoke.Only
Inside the laboratory, everyone watched the screen in complete silence.Luke suddenly crossed his arms and nodded seriously."Our parents were right."Everyone turned toward him at once."What do you mean?"

He clearly manipulated Aunt with that charming, dashing, handsome smile."Leo slowly turned his head toward Luke."So...""...are you calling him a manipulator..."
The moment Grand Duke Alcred Silver Celestial entered the Imperial Banquet Hall, every gaze naturally followed him.However...The attention of those seated upon the imperial stage wasn't entirely on the Grand Duke.It was on Princess Kiara.Foreign nobles often admired her beauty. Countless princes and young lords had stared at her with open admiration over the years. That alone wasn't unusual.What was unusual...Was Kiara herself.For the first time anyone could remember...She was looking at someone for longer than a passing glance.Her crimson eyes remained fixed upon Alcred for several silent moments b
Although the expedition had ended with Princess Kiara claiming the Tears of Goddess Arena, the atmosphere inside the Imperial Palace remained far from celebratory.The Emperor had no choice but to host a grand banquet. Such a divine relic could not be discovered without a formal celebration, no matter how bitter the outcome had been.The Grand Imperial Banquet Hall glittered beneath thousands of crystal chandeliers.Nobles from every corner of the empire gathered beneath its magnificent dome, whispering among themselves while stealing glances toward the imperial stage.The Emperor sat upon the twin thrones.To the Emperor's right sat Crown Prince Ian his crown princess and the Second Prince Rowen.On the opposite side...Pr
Silence hung heavily inside the deepest cave of the Jurra Forest.Every pair of eyes was fixed on the divine necklace resting in Kiara's hand.No one spoke.No one understood.How...?How had she reached the deepest chamber without a single scratch while Amelia's entire team stood before her covered in cuts, bruises, and torn clothes?Kiara's crimson eyes slowly drifted toward Raymond.His sleeve was ripped, stained with dried blood from the beasts they had encountered.The sight stirred a memory she wished had remained buried.---In her previous li
