The empire's third star. Princess Rosabel gazed at one spot in her spacious room with a satisfied expression. A display case made of the finest reinforced glass, commissioned from a renowned craftsman. She had requested various magical enchantments from a magic tower, so if anyone other than Rosabel tried to force it open, an alarm would sound. Moreover, it was so sturdy that not even decent weapons could scratch it, making its security arguably the best in the empire. It was worth spending…-

After Knights of the Sky, people became accustomed to lining up in front of bookstores from early morning. In the relatively early stages, there were those who tried to resolve things through force or status, but even that gradually changed into a culture of naturally maintaining order over time. "That buzz-cut kid Jacob—I heard he threatened the person who was first in line yesterday and cut in?" "Bastards like that shouldn't even eat." "Other nobles don't do that, but I heard Count Stan's…

"Did you see the garden on your way here?" "I caught a glimpse of it from inside the carriage as we passed by... but I didn't see it in detail." "We recently increased the number of gardeners and put a lot of care into various aspects. If there's an opportunity later, it might be nice for me to personally show you around." Rosabel, sitting diagonally across from me, smiled sweetly as her gentle voice flowed out. Although I was initially breathless, since the princesses spoke to me first,…

"It seems the imperial family has taken notice of the book you wrote." "...A princess invited you? That's amazing." While Alexis and Callard belatedly came to their senses and showed surprised reactions, Marcella was suspiciously quiet. Meanwhile, I slightly opened my mouth to eat a piece of meat I had already stabbed with my fork, but— "Stop right there." When a cold voice pierced my ears, my hand froze in mid-air. "There should still be dressmaking shops open, so we need to inquire…

"Brother, let's hold a masked ball too!" "...What are you talking about, Amelia?" "Masked balls are held by the imperial family! So we should hold one!" The empire's third star, the youngest princess, had finally made her way to Crown Prince Leian's office and clenched her small fists adorably. Nine years old this year. A young child who received all the affection from every adult in the imperial family. If it had been a chance encounter while passing by, that would be one thing, but…

This is a book my daughter wrote. Alexis stared blankly at the single book sitting on his desk. The black cover made of uniquely textured cloth, with the book's title and author's name embroidered in white thread. Knights of the Sky -Karma In the center, an ordinary-looking longsword was embroidered in the same white thread. Just from its outward appearance alone, its extraordinary aura made him let out a hollow laugh. "I never thought I'd end up reading it under these…

For the people of the Enodra Empire, books were unfamiliar entities. To earn money, one had to labor, and if not that, then learn the sword or magic. Even nobles weren't much different. While they read relatively more, it was limited to philosophy books, etiquette manuals, and educational texts, and they had to maintain respectable hobbies like horseback riding or chess. Living in the harsh reality before them naturally pushed books down in priority. However, there was one novel that appeared like a comet…

"You said it would become stable over time." Daniel admitted that at least this time, Katarina's words were wrong. If the month after Masked Ball's publication had been merely a cute level, the 'real deal' came afterward. After appearing in some newspaper, sales jumped once, bringing storms the two of them absolutely couldn't handle. "Can we go home today?" "...Well, I think we can after finishing just this." Work could always increase. Even without Daniel saying it, everyone…

Mariel Versia, second daughter of the Duke Versia family, was in a foul mood. Servants who grasped this fact faster than anyone kept their eyes fixed on the floor, making no mistakes whatsoever. "I've brought the book you requested, Miss." "Is this right? Are you sure?" "Yes. I'm certain." Pink hair and eyes that cascaded to her waist. Though everyone who encountered Mariel in social circles praised her as lovely, the inside was completely different. Eye corners that couldn't rise more…

Daniel, who had occasionally sent news through communication orbs after Masked Ball's release, visited the mansion after a long time. "...It sold much better than expected." She first reported that over 10,000 copies had sold so far, along with the sales report I'd been so worried about. From the moment I first saw Daniel, I'd guessed from her bright complexion and confident shoulders, but it far exceeded expectations. The initially poor performance had doubled around the one-week mark, and…
