IWBNAM Chapter 9
9. The Second Weekend I had an unwelcome dream. The ching-chang-chong medley was a nightmare. The sight of kids pulling their eyes to the sides with that peculiar cruel smile felt like something I would never be able to forget. Well, that’s why it stayed so vivid even after thirty years. Nael let out a deep breath and got up. He wanted to sleep more, but staying in bed any longer would be a problem. What could he do? He was the Chancellor. As always, he went over the day’s routine while…-

IWBNAM Chapter 8
8. A Story from the Past There were children his age, too. Nael was clinging to his mother’s skirt when he noticed a few kids glancing at him. His mother had been right. It wasn’t a party filled only with adults. She had said children would be here as well. So he would surely make new friends today. With a pounding heart, Nael looked around at the other kids. Every one of them was neatly dressed and pretty. They were all nobles. Back where he used to live, he had been the only noble. What…-

—Turn your head the other way. Oh, that’s it. A satisfied laugh echoed through the speaker. The marks remaining below his collarbone seemed to delight him greatly. “That’s enough. You can check the rest in person next time.” Nael released his hand and fixed his clothes. The man’s face quickly turned grim again, but Nael had no intention of playing along anymore. —Very well. See you Saturday. His voice was gloomy. Nael hadn’t meant to provoke him, but apparently…-

IWBNAM Chapter 7 (Part 2)
There were always a few who made dirty jokes in private, but in groups, they were careful with their words. In general, most criticism fell on Kranaha. Many were uncomfortable that an Imperial Marshal caused such disgraceful commotion right after the Emperor’s death. Aside from Kranaha’s own fleet, nearly everyone shared the same opinion. Most believed Azani had been forced into a great sacrifice in a volatile situation. "Do you think Admiral Kranaha is sincere toward Marshal Azani?" "I…-

7. From a Distance, It's a Comedy "Mm. What time is it now?" As soon as Nael regained consciousness, he asked for the time. The curtains over the window were drawn and the bedroom lights were off, making the room dark, but he could tell morning had long passed. "Ten forty-seven." "Right." He tried to open his eyes but shut them again. This was why he had cleared his schedule for the entire day. One might think Sundays were supposed to be days off, but for an Imperial Chancellor, Sunday was…-

IWBNAM Chapter 6 (Part 3)
Nael slipped off his indoor slippers and lifted both legs onto the bed. Kranaha’s gaze instantly locked onto his bare feet. He looked at them with greedy hunger. They were just bare feet. Oh, no, his eyes were moving upward. From the toes to the ankles, from the ankles up the line of his legs. “……” The lower part of Nael’s robe had parted slightly, revealing a bit above his knees. Something trivial under normal circumstances, but the way Kranaha stared made it unbearable. Nael felt…-

For some reason, Kranaha burst out laughing. He finally released Nael’s wrist completely. “Have a safe trip back, Chancellor. I’ll see you on the surface.” “Right. I hope you lead your troops down well.” As if no embarrassing conversation had ever passed between them, they exchanged polite farewells, and Nael left the room. His wrist still felt warm where he had been held, but he didn’t touch it. A heaviness settled in his chest. * * * Nael didn’t tell his close aides the…-

6. Agreement Reached The shuttle arrived inside the flagship Spartacus. Nael’s attendants let out sighs of relief and rose from their seats. Nael also stood up with a calm expression. After steadying his breath and stepping out of the shuttle, the soldiers who had come to greet him all saluted at once. Nael and his close attendants returned the salute while quickly scanning them. Other than Brigadier General Appelkampf, captain of the Spartacus, and Kranaha’s deputy aide, no senior officers were…-

“For the past several months, the Imperial stock market has been on a consistent rise. Let’s consider this a somewhat stronger correction.” The Governor of the Imperial Bank spoke leisurely while drinking cold coffee. He had iron nerves. The reason the emperor had considered the governor’s daughter as a candidate for empress was because the future imperial father-in-law was a man like this. “A somewhat stronger correction… like a thirty-percent drop?” Nael leaned back on the sofa and…-

IWBNAM Chapter 5 (Part 2)
If their revered commander were to rise with a great purpose in his heart… A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity lay before them. If they just stayed calm, just a little bit, and acted, their fate could be completely rewritten. Imperial Marshal? Impressive, yes. Not everyone rose to such a position. But in the end, it was still the position of someone’s subordinate. Oh, staying a loyal general forever wasn’t bad either, if the one receiving that loyalty was worthy of it. The incubator…-
