“Madness. Why hunt wild buffalo? Ugh, I think I’ve joined the wrong crew.”
Regardless of their chatter, Kyan, for the first time in three years since returning from the battlefield, donned his heavy armor.
The gatekeepers, having closed the gates for the night, hurriedly lit torches and lowered the drawbridge upon the lord’s command.
“I’ll go too.”
Hanna, looking ragged and tearful, approached hesitantly. She was dressed in men’s trousers, likely picked up somewhere, and had tightly tied a bundle of belongings on her back.
“I’ll find the medicine for my lady. Uh-huh.”
Surprised by Hanna’s appearance, knights holding shields as big as her body looked incredulously at Kyan.
Then Kyan did something unexpected.
Tap. Tap.
With hands clad in heavy gauntlets, he gently patted Hanna’s shoulder.
Hanna looked up in surprise.
“Stay by your lady’s side. For me.”
At that, Hanna, who dared to meet Kyan’s gaze, bowed her head deeply and hurried back to the castle.
As the drawbridge clanged down, Kyan led his men out of the castle gates.
The habitat of the wild buffalo was quite close to Lowen Castle.
Whether that was good luck or not was debatable.
A day’s ride on horseback brought them to a vast grassland, where a herd of buffalo with their massive, dark bodies spread widely across the open prairie, making them hard to miss.
Kyan observed the herd with a cool gaze.
If someone had previously hunted these creatures for medicine, then surely Kyan could do it too.
Once he set his mind to it, there was nothing he couldn’t do.
Even if it meant saving the life of a woman whose thread of life was fraying.
“My lord, the traps are all set,” reported a knight, covered in yellow dust.
“Get ready.”
The elite knights, who had moved as one with Kyan on the battlefield for five years, promptly found their positions.
“Fire.”
Next to Kyan stood an archer so large he resembled a giant. He strung an enormous lance onto a massive bow, as thick as an adult’s wrist, and aimed skyward.
Swoosh!
The lance soared through the air and plunged into the middle of the buffalo herd with a thud. It seemed to have struck a buffalo on the first attempt.
As the buffalo pierced by the lance began to thrash, the startled herd started to run in one direction. The ground trembled, kicking up clouds of yellow dust.
“Let’s go!”
Kyan spurred his horse and charged towards the billowing cloud of dust on the plains.
‘Is this heaven?’ Clodel wondered.
She had once read about someone’s curiosity-driven count of how often a person breathes in a day – over twenty thousand times.
Each breath pained Clodel as if her chest were being scraped with a knife, meaning she had been in pain over forty thousand times daily. She had desperately wanted the pain to end.
Her life, though short, had been successful. She became a noble duchess, securing a grave under the magnificent castle, even though her illness prevented her from properly exploring it.
Moreover, she had managed to send food to the starving children of Balmont. Kyan had promised ten wagons per transaction, amounting to three hundred wagons for Balmont. The thirty wagons taken by the Duke of Balmont after their wedding night had fed the entire fief for a month; hence, three hundred wagons would sustain them for nearly ten months.
She considered it a relatively good life.
She wished Hanna hadn’t cried. She should have properly explained that she didn’t need to be taken back to Balmont as the Duke desired.
The tombstone in the underground mausoleum, made of rose stone tinged with a light pink hue, was quite pretty. It wasn’t bad here, although she never saw the blue diamond.
“……I just hope he keeps his promise. For the children…….”
She felt she could close her eyes in peace if that happened.
“Unbelievable.”
At the cold rebuke, Clodel opened her eyes.
“Is the first thing you say upon waking up a suspicion that I might renege on the food promise?”
Her eyelids fluttered.
Was this not heaven but hell? Kyan, dressed in black from head to toe, frowned disapprovingly at her.
Hiccup.
Startled, Clodel began to hiccup.
“Not in pain.”
If she wasn’t in pain, she must be dead, but why Kyan…
“Good that you’re not in pain.”
As he rose from the chair, Hanna entered the room, her face brightening upon seeing Clodel.
“Miss! You’re awake!”
“Uh… uh…”
Clodel felt bewildered, unable to think clearly.
“How do you feel?”
“Fine… fine…”
Alive?
Kyan’s cold voice echoed from above.
“Such a regretful expression for someone who can’t die.”

Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
