“All the injured should be taken to the medical office, and those with relatively serious injuries should be taken to the second-floor medical office. Since we’re short-handed in the mansion’s medical team, request medical support from the royal palace.”
The knights moved briskly. Ibelia, still sobbing, picked up scattered toys and furniture.
Because her eyes were blurred with tears, she mistook Enlil for a doll beside her, grabbed him, then was startled and let go.
“Sniff, um, Elaim, when will Enlil get better?”
Elaim, examining Enlil, replied.
“He’s a baby dragon. He’s just exhausted from using all his inherent power, but if you let him rest well, he’ll naturally recover and get up.”
“Even got slashed by a sword…”
“If he’s worthy of being called a dragon, a light cut won’t bring him down, so don’t worry.”
Finally reassured, Ibelia tore a soft sheet from the sofa, placed Enlil on it, and covered him with a curtain.
“But, Your Majesty… No, Elaim, why do you speak formally to me? You can speak comfortably. I’m friends with Undine, and you’re like Undine’s dad.”
The mention of friendship with Undine and comparing Elaim’s relationship with Undine to that of a father. All of it hinted at the warm feelings of this contractor.
In the face of a worldview unchanged from his past life, Elaim smiled tenderly.
“My contractor is worthy of respect. That applies to anyone, and I am no exception.”
Not wanting to express the desire for distinctiveness, Elaim swallowed the words that his contractor was neither a guardian, a friend, nor a family, but solely himself.
“Eve. Staying in the human realm for too long would strain the contractor’s body. Normally, I could stay for a longer time, but since your body isn’t in good condition now, it would be better for me to return.”
“Already…? I’m still okay.”
Ibelia pouted with disappointment.
“Next time, it won’t be as challenging, and you’ll be able to summon me more easily. Call me again. I’ll be waiting.”
Upon hearing the promise of the next meeting, Ibelia finally nodded with a small smile.
“I will.”
Elaim, not forgetting, gently poured a stream of water into Ibelia’s mouth, which soon scattered into mist.
The remnants of water droplets rising in the air felt warm. Touching them with her hand, Ibelia whispered.
“Thank you, my contracted spirit.”
The warm sensation that lingered throughout Ibelia’s body disappeared. All the minor burns scattered across her small body were completely healed.
‘My contractor is warm indeed.’
Returning with a satisfied smile from the overflowing emotions, someone suddenly grabbed Elaim by the collar. Silver hair, resembling moonlight, fluttered in the air.
“Did you contract? Did you?”
“You know, what does it matter?”
“You did! Look at this weirdly smiling expression! This kid actually made a contract!”
A sharp wind swept through the spirit realm. Dark clouds covered the sky, and a momentary lightning flash illuminated the gloom. Lower-level spirits returned to their respective domains, hiding their bodies.
“If you helped with reincarnation, that’s one thing! Not only did you make the first impression, but you also casually went and made a contract? Do you have no sense of propriety?”
“My contractor called me. Not you, but me.”
“What does that kid know to call you!”
Brushing off Perseus’s hand, Elaim smirked arrogantly.
“Undine said she showed you the page where I appeared in the spirit book. If something happens, call me.”
“Uh, Undine did?”
“I gave a good education to the lower spirits once. Don’t know who they are, but they’re quite clever.”
Elaim playfully tapped Undine’s head, who was swirling around nearby. At the same time, Perseus grabbed the wings of the Sylph, which was flying gently by.
“What have you guys done! Why didn’t you show me the page where I appear in the book! You should have told them I’m the prettiest, the strongest, and I like chicks the most!”
“Don’t take it out on the poor Sylph. It’s all your fault for improper spirit education.”
“I’ll make a contract too!”
“How? Ibelia has to call you to make a contract, but she didn’t call you. You.”
It was a valid point. Unable to refute, Perseus’s face turned red. Troy, who had been watching, chuckled softly and comforted Perseus.
“Perseus, calm down. Well… yes. Your contractor is the oldest ancient tree.”
“That’s right! You don’t understand my feelings about making a contract with a tree. Can’t you talk? Do you know what it’s like to concentrate on the movements of the roots to communicate?”
“On the other hand, Elaim’s contractor is Ibelia.”
“Are you making fun of me?”
Ignoring the growling Perseus, Troy continued speaking.
“If we are to stay in the human world, we inevitably have to draw some of the natural power of our contractors. You have the natural power of the ancient tree, and Elaim has the natural power of Ibelia.”
“Why are you telling me something obvious… No, wait.”
Troy chuckled.

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
