“I apologize. I should have inspected the territory more thoroughly; it was my mistake.”

The residents of the territory were devoured by the monsters.

The traces of the monsters led from the reservoir to the 7th fortress.

It seemed the monsters had entered through the collapsed 7th fortress, avoiding the knights, and escaped outside the castle walls.

It was unavoidable.

The castle walls had collapsed, trapping the knights underneath.

Meanwhile, the overflowing monsters that followed the collapsed walls were simply too much to handle.

The 7th fortress was bound to fall anyway.

Gillian revived it.

He extended his aura like a whip and swept the monsters out of the fortress.

Taking advantage of this, the commanders searched through the collapsed debris and rescued the trapped knights.

It was a miracle.

But would people outside understand the situation?

Creta couldn’t hide his gloomy face.

“I’ll accept any punishment.”

“How is it your fault? If anything, it’s my fault for not noticing the monsters crossing over.”

“My lord! How could it be your fault? If you weren’t here, the empire would have long ago…!”

“Then let’s blame the ignorant monsters that keep crossing over despite constant warnings.”

Gillian spoke as if to comfort the agitated Creta.

He maintained a consistently calm demeanor.

He had just returned from taming the wave at dawn, only to be woken up by an urgent message.

Although it was incredibly stressful, Gillian’s demeanor was as calm as a deep lake.

“What’s the status of the damage assessment and response?”

“The residents who managed to escape quickly called for the border guards to respond. There were two monsters in total…”

“They must have eaten plenty.”

Gillian rubbed his face roughly with his hand and asked, “How many?”

“Eight.”

“I see.”

The atmosphere in the duke’s bedroom became eerily quiet.

Creta waited for the duke’s judgment, and Gillian, who had just woken up, needed time to sort out his thoughts.

After some time had passed.

As the morning sun became more intense, Gillian gave Creta an order.

“Provide appropriate compensation. Give an amount equivalent to a knight’s reward to everyone, regardless of age or gender. Promise maximum prevention of recurrence. And…”

“…”

“Relocate them to the fortress.”

It was a surprising directive coming from Gillian, who Creta thought would chastise him.

Creta couldn’t hide his astonished expression.

“To the fortress?”

“Relocate all the territory residents to the outer fortress.”

Outer Fortress.

It was the name for the fortress farthest from the main castle of Barlock, facing the empire’s side.

Being farthest from the ice wall, it was the safest place.

However, the Outer Fortress was just walls, not fit for habitation.

They would need construction if they were going to move the territory residents there.

“My lord, construction would be necessary to move people to the Outer Fortress.”

“Do it.”

“A snowstorm is raging, making construction impossible.”

“The snow will stop today. Send a bird. Once the snow stops, immediately transport labor and materials.”

The sky had been pouring snow nonstop, as if punctured.

It didn’t look like it would stop anytime soon.

Nevertheless, Creta responded without hesitation, “Yes,” and set into motion.

Gillian Barlock was not a god.

However, his lord had never been wrong.

So he would surely be correct this time too.

Without even going to his office, Creta dragged a chair next to his bed.

As soon as he grabbed pen and paper, he began calculating what was needed for the reinforcement and repair of the 7th fortress and the construction of living quarters in the Outer Fortress.

What kind and amount of material would need to be imported?

How many laborers should be hired?

How much could be covered with internal resources?

There were so many things to check, trying to do it all by himself felt suffocating.

If he had to manage the main castle as well, he’d go insane.

“Phew.”
Kreta let out a small sigh of relief, her face suddenly brightening.

“So! Now, we can warp!”

“Is that comforting at this time?”

At Gillian’s words, Kreta exclaimed in an elated voice.

“Have you forgotten? A butler is waiting, isn’t he? Now, when the butler arrives, I can also lessen the burden of some of the estate’s budget!”

On a tragic day like today, it was wrong to smile, but the corners of her mouth kept twitching upwards.

But Gillian remained expressionless throughout.

“Very well.”

“Still tired?”

“Perhaps.”

“Would you like a cup of tea? A strong cup of black tea might wake you up.”

Normally, offering tea to Gillian would be out of the question.

However, seeing Gillian’s downcast face, Kreta felt compelled to offer him tea.

What surprised Kreta was what happened next.

“Alright.”

Contrary to what she had thought would be a sure refusal, Gillian calmly accepted the offer for tea.

Still disbelieving, Kreta had to ask.

“Really? You’ll have some?”

Gillian was in a poor mood.

Until Kreta came in and woke him up, he hadn’t noticed anything.

When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem

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…
