IIAD | Chapter 3.1
Even in a feverish haze, his senses dulled as if seared by fire, Nika clearly heard the door creak open and shut. A shadow loomed beyond the canopy of his bed. His eyelids, heavy as lead, barely lifted. Then, a voice—petulant and scolding—broke through the silence. “I thought dragonkin didn’t catch colds.” Nika tried to muster some excuse, but when he opened his mouth, his throat was too parched to form a single sound. He shut it again. The intruder lingered, waiting for a response that…-

IIAD | Chapter 2.10
“You found an old regional cookbook in the library and asked me if you knew how to make it, since people in the north supposedly ate it every morning and night. I panicked for a moment. But I told you that you must’ve learned while staying in Northwall to help subdue the northern barbarians.” Nika tilted his head slightly, his mind scrambling for memories that didn’t exist. “But you never went to the north.” His breath hitched. “I… never went to the north? But you said—my memory…-

IIAD | Chapter 2.9
That was what he said—he was sure of it. Nika couldn’t hear the words, but he saw Baran’s lips form them so clearly. And in that instant, the wild dogs, sensing Baran’s brief lapse in attention, lunged. A beast’s fangs sank deep into Baran’s shoulder, tearing flesh. His pained groan blended with the vicious snarls of the pack, and soon, the thick stench of blood seeped through the rain-drenched air. Nika watched, frozen, as Baran’s red hair, tangled and matted, soaked into the muddy…-

IIAD | Chapter 2.8
After a brief silence, Baran ordered them to do so. Then, he asked if anyone had left the castle recently. The knights hesitated, glancing at one another uneasily. This time of day saw frequent comings and goings, but there was one thing that stood out—a lone man on a fine horse had slipped through the crowd of merchants, only to break away the moment he passed the gate. That man had to be Nika. When he pressed for a description, his suspicions were all but confirmed. It was easier to sneak out…-

IIAD | Chapter 2.7
He averted his gaze and bit his lip. He must have sounded like a sulking child. Maybe this was the moment Baran would grow tired of him. Who in their right mind would tolerate the childish whining of a grown man? Baran’s eyes widened slightly. Then, as if he had suddenly remembered something unpleasant, his fingers twitched, his eyelids fluttering. And finally—he sighed. A deep, weary sigh. The kind of sigh Nika did not want to hear. His eyelids trembled at the sound. “…I’m sorry. I…-

IIAD | Chapter 2.6
As soon as those firm words of refusal left Nika’s lips, Baran’s face fell into utter devastation. He immediately began throwing out all sorts of enticing offers, as if negotiating a deal. He promised to bring Nika more of the fairy tale books he liked, let him watch the knights’ training up close—he was really using every trick in the book. By the end, he even offered to hand over his marquisate in exchange for just one more kiss. “Are you just saying whatever comes to mind now?” Nika…-

IIAD | Chapter 2.5
After training, all practice weapons were supposed to be brought indoors for maintenance. But because it was such a tedious task, the soldiers had developed the habit of simply shoving them under the shade of a large tree unless it looked like it was going to rain. Since Baran rarely supervised the soldiers’ training, he pursed his lips and fell into thought for a moment. “These fools need some discipline.” His voice carried a faint trace of irritation. But he didn’t want to waste his time…-

IIAD | Chapter 2.4
Just calling his name was enough. Nika was quick on the uptake. Sure enough, after a brief pause, he let go of Baran’s wrist. But… for some reason, he looked annoyed. Baran was curious enough to want to ask about it, but before he could, Raymond yanked him away mercilessly, putting an increasing distance between him and Nika. ── .✦ “The Duke insists that you must attend.” “Have I lost my mind? Why the hell would I willingly walk into that place? It’s obvious there’s no real…-

IIAD | Chapter 2.3
Claten spat in Baran’s face—just like he had back then—and stormed out. Baran wiped his cheek in a daze. That was the last time he ever saw Claten. Claten was executed as a traitor, one of the rebels who had taken over Sananta Castle and incited an uprising. Amidst the chaos, someone had grabbed his brown curls in one hand and driven a sword into his pale neck. Nika. That name had always been salvation to Baran. But for the first time, it wasn’t. His heart plummeted into the…-

IIAD | Chapter 2.2
Nika sat on a plush sofa, completely immersed in his book. Several other volumes were lined up neatly on the side table beside him, waiting their turn. At first, Baran found his focused expression utterly adorable, but as the minutes passed and Nika didn’t spare him even a single glance, his mood soured. So, he decided to strike up a conversation. “You know, the famous spirit summoner Ailman Hopshire from the High Kingdom era first saw a fire spirit in a fireplace when he was a child and made…-
