I walked into the throne room alone, wondering what Katalina had called me for. While it wasn’t strange for her to randomly summon me, the fact that I had received a formal request to the Chancellor made my brows arch. ‘Guess the proper procedures must still be practiced once in a while.’ Despite that, it
Hiding behind a random building, we stared as the parade of crazed fans ran by, their switches having been flipped. A lady of nobility was typically married away under various arrangements, for political or financial gain. Stripped of this prospect of finding a romance of their own, there was no doubt that they held pent
‘Just how the hell did I get stuck in this situation?’ My eyes wandered to the person sitting across from me, the flamboyant Duke that often threw me under the bus randomly with tiring theatrics. It hadn’t even been a week since the last one, where I had been volunteered to participate in the tournament,
Known for artistic displays of Ice magic, Duke Reichenstein was a peculiar person that loved to dabble in creative works and show them off to the public.

My gaze wandered across Saki’s body. Just like Violet had done before, the Electi of Attack, my next opponent, had stepped onto the arena without her bulky armor. Instead, she was wearing a cute shirt and skirt similar to that of a Japanese school uniform. I mentally slapped myself for momentarily fawning over the attire
“And now, the final match of the quarterfinals! Due to the forfeit of the entire group, the winner of this match will move straight to the finals!” Somewhere in the stands, Goldar and Horwitz were both kicking themselves. They had forfeited in fear of the masked fighters, who had unexpectedly been knocked out of commission.
Marquis Deggendorf – a giant of a man whose presence could be solely defined by the bulging muscles that peeked out from his fancy attire. The arrangement of a formal short-sleeved shirt and vest, barely containing the rippling arms, was quite peculiar. It was like a bodybuilder that had been placed uncomfortably in nice clothing
A shrunken, lanky man in a strange robe stepped onto the stage, where a young knight stood with crimson hair flowing upon his armor. Sword brandished, the magic knight known as Trypt preemptively sent flames coursing down the length of his blade. A confident sneer was upon his face as he felt lucky to have
