"What do you mean, Grace?"
Grace bit her lower lip and cast her gaze downward. "You can marry Princess Jocelyn if you must or if you desire to."
"Grace!" Adro cupped both of her cheeks and directed her to look at him. He saw tears slowly streaming down her cheeks. "Why would you say that? What happened?"
"I just... thought it was the best, for the greater good." Grace put her gaze down again.
"No. Someone must have said something to you. Tell me, who is bothering you?"
"No one is bothering me, Adro." Grace lifted her face to look at his eyes and continued, "On the contrary, I'm the one bothering them."
"You're bothering them?" Adro reiterated. "Grace, you're the most helpful person here. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to come back."
"But because of me, you've broken off your engagement!" Grace replied, silencing Adro.
Then she continued, "Princess Jocelyn... I just met her. She's a good girl, perfect, and has

Grace could feel her knees trembling.She had a monster standing before her—three meters tall with wings twice the length of its body. It had glowing red eyes and a large bill filled with saw-sharp teeth. Yet she didn't know she could be this brave. She was even half-conscious when she grabbed the sword lying on the ground and somehow swung it at the monster's back."Come here!" Grace exclaimed, adopting the stance Adro had taught her.CAWK!With rage, the monster lunged at Grace. She ran aside with the heavy sword in both hands. Fortunately, as the monster was injured, its movements weren't as fast as before, allowing Grace to stand beside it and swing the sword at its wings.CAWK!"Yeah! Feel that!"Grace's cheers made the monster even angrier, attempting to attack her again. When the monster flapped its wings to attack her from a higher position, Grace swung her sword and thrust it into the monster’s belly.Blue

"So, his name is Julius?" Lady Camelia placed her teacup on the table.Grace's eyes widened. She covered her mouth with her hand. "Is this supposed to be a secret?""Not really. It's information that will be disclosed until the upcoming war council." Lady Camelia answered."You don't even know what you can and cannot say.""And she promised she could help. Quite foolish, really."Grace glanced at the twin brothers, whom she now knew were named Vizo and Vincent. They just raised one of their eyebrows at her."There may be things that shouldn't be known by just anyone, but it's your right to choose to say w
The Groom From The Fairy-Tale Land 92. Humans Against Monsters
Two men leading an army was unprecedented in the history of human warfare. However, this was not a war between humans but a war of humans against monsters.Adro led the White Horse army of the Groendez a Lend Kingdom. On his side was the leader of the Crescent Moon Sorcerer army from the Pentapore Kingdom, Alberto Vinni Rovezt."The ambush squad is ready."Alberto nodded once, then turned to Adro. "My ambushers will strike when we reach the estimated location.""Make sure they're not late," Adro replied before urging his horse to move.Beside Adro, Damian followed with his white horse. "Are you sure you don't want to rediscuss it with him? Even though it's in the same area, the gate can move.""It's useless to talk to him. He deliberately made decisions against me to show that he was no less powerful."Damian scoffed. "Marrying off his son to a family like theirs is not the nature of King Pentapore. He had to do it to strengthen his k

Using the monster he forcibly controlled, Adro approached Julius’s fortress gate. Various monsters tried to block him, but Damian's arrow skill and the ambush sorcerers' prowess were so great that not a single monster managed to touch him.Seeing Adro nearing the gate, Albertus formed a spell using his last magical element concoction, which he had prepared for this moment."It's coming!" Albertus exclaimed.Hearing the shout, Adro bent his back forward. Then a scorching wind passed just above his back. Afterward, an explosion occurred in front of his face.Adro covered his face with an arm. He thought he was over due to the recent explosion. However, when he looked around, he found a triangular-shaped magical s

It wasn't news of the war's defeat that left everyone stunned, but the information brought by the younger brother of Princess Vivian Scarez, the eldest daughter of the leader of the Eastar sorcerer clan who married King Pentapore’s son."Julius the witch's target is the Groendez family, a vendetta for the betrayal of the former King Groendez, which drove him to ruthlessly attack humans." Albertus, the leader of the Crescent Moon Unit, said.All the kings involved in the post-war council remained silent, including King Groendez himself.A slightly audible inhale sound came from King Pentapore, making everyone turn to him. "Regardless of the truth about the allegedly erased history, Julius the witch’s offer is clear. His target is only the Groendez Kingdom."

‘This time, I won't back down. I'm not afraid, even if I have to suffer—even if I have to die.’Grace held her throbbing head. She couldn't believe those words had come out of her mouth in front of the king and so many people. Yet, she didn't regret it; she was just surprised at how brave she had become.After the conflict in the throne room, the queen managed to calm the king and Adro, then ordered the guards to take Grace back to her room.It had been a long time since Grace had felt this way. In the past, whenever she was in deep distress but realized that Bella and Sarah were too busy, she always kept everything to herself. Just like now, she could only stare out the window and have one-sided conversations with her late parents.Suddenly, a knock sound came from the door, then it opened just as Grace finished wiping her tears and stood up from her chair."Y-Your Majesty," Grace bowed as the queen entered.Queen Groendez smiled at Grace—not the friendliest smile she had ever seen.

"That garden... didn't you create it for Princess Jocelyn?"Grace's soft question caught Adro off guard. "What?""You two have spent time together since childhood in that garden. You shared many beautiful memories," Grace continued. Then a wistful smile formed on her lips, and she rubbed her arms. "I feel guilty and terribly embarrassed for daring to be alone with you in that garden."Adro closed his eyes tightly. Of course. He was a natural idiot! How could he not think about the possibility of Grace hearing the story about the garden from the hundreds of servant mouths surrounding her? Or worse, hearing it directly from Jocelyn. He only made himself look like a shameless jerk."Adro." Grace snapped him out of his r

Adro took a deep breath and knocked on the door in front of him. Shortly after, the door opened, and Adro smiled gently."Sorry to disturb your rest,"Grace shook her head, though a surprised expression still lingered on her face. "It's… it's okay. But why are you here?""There's something important I need to talk to you about." Adro replied, pausing for a moment before continuing, "It'll be brief. After this, I won't bother you again and might go back to being busy with war meetings."Grace closed her eyes, shaking her head. She opened her bedroom door wider and shifted her body. "Apologies. Of course. Please come in."As Grace sat on the edge of her be
