            <description><![CDATA[&#8220;I know you didn&#8217;t abandon me. But regardless of what I think, I keep&#8230; feeling like I might do something terrible again.&#8221; &#8220;I know.&#8221; Oscar smiled bitterly. The past where they had hurt each other would probably never disappear. Sometimes those memories might suddenly surface and make Zachary anxious. &#8220;So I&#8217;ll stay by your side until those memories wear away and disappear.&#8221; That&#8217;s why…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Zachary&#8217;s lips moved. He had so much to say. How did you get here, are you really alright in this land filled with holy power? But no words came out. Strangely, he found himself silently watching Oscar and Azrael together. &#8220;&#8230;How amazing.&#8221; He wanted to brush aside Oscar&#8217;s hair, slightly longer than two months ago, and could no longer resist the urge to kiss…]]></description>

We were so young then. The Zachary from that day overlapped with the child before me now. &#8220;&#8230;Pardon?&#8221; &#8220;Ah, sorry. I just remembered something else.&#8221; When I smiled, the child&#8217;s mouth opened slightly. &#8220;But I&#8217;m sorry, I&#8217;m not a lady.&#8221; &#8220;S-sorry&#8230; I&#8217;m sorry&#8230;&#8221; &#8220;No,…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[However, worried that Oscar might be hurt again by holy power leaking from his poorly controlled emotions, the thought consumed his mind until he couldn&#8217;t stay in that space any longer. Oscar probably didn&#8217;t mean it that way. I shouldn&#8217;t have spoken like that&#8230; The past suddenly came flooding back, making him act irrationally without realizing it. Oscar&#8217;s hurt expression in that final moment…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[When did he&#8230;! A man with hair so dark it seemed blue and deep blue eyes like the depths of the ocean was staring at him intently. With a thud, the headless corpse finally fell backward. &#8220;Let&#8217;s end this quickly.&#8221; He reached out his hand. The noble could not move a muscle even as he watched the hand approach him. &#8220;Time is precious.&#8221; Zachary&#8217;s…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s laughable even to me. Zachary isn&#8217;t superhuman &#8211; how could he resolve such complicated matters and return in just a month? After staring blankly at the door, I sighed at the snow pile that looked no different from yesterday. Whatever. Let&#8217;s just clear the snow today. I guessed he wouldn&#8217;t come tomorrow or the day after either. Just in case&#8230; Still, worried he…]]></description>

As if my words hadn&#8217;t reached him, he just busily transferred firewood into the stove. &#8220;We can&#8217;t leave those people out there in this cold weather. Besides, Mother said the Thaddeus Empire is in great chaos.…]]></description>

If I had done that, my son would have withered away.&#8221; Adelheid laughed bitterly as she spoke firmly to Ailes. She recalled Oscar&#8217;s appearance after he returned. She too had done her best to keep Oscar by her side. But Oscar…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Suddenly, Oscar came to mind. That small face wishing him peace. Peace&#8230; He had never thought about such a thing in his entire life. Erhan&#8217;s troubled gaze drifted to the gently swaying tree branches. Shortly after, he withdrew his gaze and began walking slowly down the corridor. &#8220;&#8230;&#8221; His footsteps halted in front of Oscar&#8217;s room. After staring at the door of the empty…]]></description>

The heavy rain beating against the windows, Erhan bringing the severed hand of his deceased wife Isadora, and Erhan screaming in that rain that she must have been poisoned. &#8220;What is he doing?&#8221; &#8220;My goodness, even though they deal with sorcery, that son&#8230;&#8221; Then there were the noble relatives…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[&#8220;That place is unstable and dangerous.&#8221; I quietly gazed at Erhan. He knew well how barren the God-forsaken land was. It made sense, considering how many times he must have traveled back and forth. Erhan had already expressed his concerns multiple times through his letters. I wasn&#8217;t entirely fond of that place either. I&#8217;d witnessed phenomena that explained why it was called the God-forsaken…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[&#8220;&#8230;Really now.&#8221; Does it open even when knocked with the head instead of hands? Oscar chuckled at this absurd situation, then bit his lip hard and trembled around his eyes as he flinched at Zachary&#8217;s semen filling him up inside. The moonlight seeping through the window illuminated Oscar&#8217;s figure. &#8220;Haa&#8230;&#8221; Feeling a gentle pleasure, Oscar threw his head back limply. His sweat-soaked golden bangs…]]></description>

Surely when they entered the mansion, the servant had informed them that the Duchess was not feeling well and had retired early. So they hadn&#8217;t imagined at all that she would come looking for them like this. At the end of Oscar&#8217;s startled gaze was the doorknob. Oscar stared blankly…]]></description>

Suddenly his body stiffened, and he showed no response. When I tilted my head in confusion at his lack of reply, Zachary slowly detached himself from me. As I looked up at him slowly, puzzled by his behavior.…]]></description>

I had a strong feeling that the power of the original story couldn&#8217;t be simply ignored. Just seeing the two of them together made me feel like the ground was crumbling beneath my feet. &#8216;I don&#8217;t want to go back…]]></description>

Don&#8217;t worry, you can start moving.&#8221; At the gentle and soft-spoken words, passersby couldn&#8217;t help but stare at the man.

Within the mansion, the areas open to guests were strictly defined, and if one tried to step even slightly outside the designated areas&#8230; &#8220;Eek! I&#8217;m sorry!&#8221; Servants with grotesque appearances would suddenly appear without a sound to block their way. As…]]></description>

I had heard that Mother herself had been ill, so I should have asked if her health had improved. But I had…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Until now, Zachary had devoted all his time to finding the whereabouts of the elixir. Even the time he could have spent by Oscar&#8217;s side. He interrogated everyone who had information about the elixir. If he heard even the slightest rumor related to the elixir, he would immediately dash out of the castle and head to that area. Of course, most of the information…]]></description>

Kuhk!&#8221; Zachary cut off the breath of the person writhing on the floor. He stared blankly at the severed neck spewing blood. He had killed many. It was the first time he had killed so many people in such a short time.…]]></description>

They flocked to Celestia, the most likely candidate, like moths to a flame. And it was Zachary&#8217;s job to eliminate them. &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand&#8230; with such power&#8230; why don&#8217;t you aim for the throne?&#8221; A dying brother asked, unable to comprehend…]]></description>

I tried to pull back due to his gaze persistently lingering on my knees. Even in this situation, I didn&#8217;t want to show him my ugly wounds.

Erhan groaned as Zachary gripped his head. I froze, unable to move a muscle. My whole body trembled at the murderous aura emanating from Zachary. It was difficult even to look at him. His eyes, glowing with a beastly light, slowly scanned…]]></description>

Erhan grabbed me and urged me on. &#8220;Hurry.&#8221; I was practically dragged along, held by Erhan. He said he&#8217;d come see me soon, but I didn&#8217;t expect it to be like this. &#8216;So that&#8217;s why there was a familiar scent.&#8217; There&#8217;s a distinctive smell that anyone from House Serpentine would recognize.

The prolonged silence was as good as an affirmation. &#8216;If everything Celestia said is true, did you really stay by my side just because it was fun?&#8217; Did he hate me so much that he didn&#8217;t even want to kill me? I was tormented in the whirlwind of emotions.…]]></description>

As he grabbed Celestia&#8217;s neck, she screamed as if struggling. &#8220;Za-chary!&#8221; There was clear hostility between them. &#8216;They&#8217;re clashing? Why?&#8217; This was the opposite of the original story. In the original, it was Celestia who stopped the rampaging Zachary. Even when consumed by madness, Zachary at least pretended to listen to her. &#8216;But why did Celestia&#8230; lie…]]></description>

Looking back, whenever I coughed up blood and my condition worsened extremely, Zachary was always nearby. My health deteriorated significantly after I broke Zachary&#8217;s holy power sealing array. He was born with strong holy power. Even before his awakening, the suppressed holy power…]]></description>
