TYND 22
It wasn’t often that Chungnip, usually soft-spoken and warm smiles, raised his voice. His sudden outburst startled Zey and Xeon, who rushed to calm him, while the weasel bristled and hissed in protest. Rothy was terrified—he bit his lower lip so hard it began to bleed. Theon stepped in, placing an arm between them, pushing Chungnip away before pulling Rothy into his arms. The child clung to him like a lifeline, burying his face into the solid curve of Theon’s…-

“We understand the lord’s decision and are patiently waiting our turn, but it's simply unbearable. It’s too inconvenient and unsafe—we can’t live like this. Even though it’s the dead of winter right now, we’re creeping across ice that could break at any moment. If anyone dares to walk a little faster, they’ll end up falling and calling for me. I’ll collapse from exhaustion at this rate. Even I took a tumble while making a house call! Our village’s full of elderly like me. If this keeps…-

“I’ll share a room with Rothy, the rest of you, sort yourselves out.” Theon declared. “Yes, Leader.” “The end room’s the most spacious, Leader,” offered the attendant who’d earlier inspected the lodgings. With Rothy in his arms, Theon strode purposefully toward the end room. The tidy space was clearly prepared with care. The warmth inside hinted at the innkeeper’s respect for the returning soldiers—running the heating so thoroughly must’ve been…-

TYND 2
There were no signs of struggle on Yolone Sirin’s body, and his fingerprints were found on the rope and chair; even the handwriting of the note, presumed to be a suicide note, was identified as his. The room was immaculately tidy, and all of his rare and expensive magical artifacts remained undisturbed, exactly where he’d left them. Most tellingly, if anyone had assassinated the archmage, they would’ve taken his research journals—yet they were untouched. Given the compelling evidence, the…-

TYND 19
Theon’s sharp gaze caught the goosebumps rising on Rothy’s thin, scarred wrist, exposed to the biting cold. The chill of the air was too harsh for bare skin to bear. Theon moved like the wind, quickly pulling Rothy’s coat back on him. “Stop teaching the kid weird things.” He said flatly. “Weird things? Your Grace, muscles are a virtue.” “Go get ready for departure.” “Your cleaning freak kicked me out, claiming I’m no help.” “Then go exercise or…-

Theon carefully lifted Rothy and settled him in before climbing aboard himself. As soon as the two were secure, the mounted knights spurred their horses into motion. With that, the Black Lion Knights were officially leaving the imperial capital. With Rothy in tow. “Those flagitious bastards...” “Master, they can hear you from this distance.” “I don’t care. Let them hear. They already know we’re watching them anyway.” From atop the imperial palace ramparts,…-

“Bro, I’m sorry to say this, but if recovery’s possible in just half a year, then ask the people to endure for six more months. I know they’ve probably been stretched thin all this time, and honestly, it kills me to say this as the emperor. But you’re telling me they can’t fvcking hold on for six more bloody months when they’ve already lasted three years?!” Emperor Dierm’s polished tone slipped, his urgency evident as he paced back and forth like a restless, caged animal. Across from…-

“I’m afraid to even ask if he knew them.” Chungnip approached Theon quietly, murmuring under his breath. He was right. Those thirty-two corpses could’ve been Rothy’s friends. Even if not friends, they might’ve been children whose faces he recognised. Looking at him, Theon noticed the faint tremor of his long, thick eyelashes. Watching him, Theon noticed the faint tremor in his long, thick eyelashes. Rothy had remained calm and detached throughout the ordeal, but now, curious about the…-

“How can you be so sure that Rothy will belong to PLEIN?” “What? What’s that supposed to mean? If Rothy isn’t ours, then whose could he be?!” “......” “Archduke!” What else could they do with the only living magic stone in existence, aside from handing it over to the empire’s greatest mage organisation for research? Of course it’d be theirs. That was the only logical conclusion. Yet Theon’s attitude radiated an odd confidence. I don’t think the emperor would…-

TL: Motokare Did he have some strange dream? Harrié walked away, tired of waiting for an answer. If Yolone Sirin had created a barrier, only Theon could break it. The mages could work together on a removal spell, but—who knew—that might take days, months, or even years. I’ll just have him smash it if something suspicious appears. He'd rather not use brute force and damage the lab, but under the circumstances, he’d no choice. If Theon left today, even the emperor couldn't stop…-
