Certainly, I have taken note of the characters’ names and genders. Here’s the translated passage:

She had gotten what she wanted, but Evie, who had come out of Rohika’s room, was not in a good mood.

It was because of Rohika’s arrogance, treating people like dogs with a gentle voice.

Evie slowly recalled the day she first met Rohika in the moving elevator.

It was 5 years ago, in the prisonlike orphanage of Bise.

“Hello, dear?”

That day, Rohika greeted Evie first with a bright smile.

Evie’s first impression of Rohika was that she was sweet.

Dizzying beauty, overflowing luxury even though restrained, and even a deep, tempting smile.

Rohika Sedro’s charm was the same as the brilliance of something that possesses poison.

But back then, Evie did not notice this and foolishly entrusted herself to Rohika’s hand.

“You will take me to Tienda, right?”

“Oh dear, why do you think that?”

“Because I sing the best here. I heard it from the holy lady who came here before. Looking for a girl who sings well, such girls are needed to purify the water.”

Facing the bright Rohika, Evie answered like this, in a sinking voice, her boasting about her singing skills pale in comparison.

But Rohika did not lose interest and asked again.

“That’s right, you know well. Does Evie want to go to Tienda?”

Rohika knew Evie’s name.

Evie thought it was because she had finished talking with the head of the orphanage, so she asked in a halfresigned voice.

“Can I become a difficult person if I go to Tienda?”

“A difficult person?”

“A person who can achieve at least one wish.”

It deepened Rohika’s smile that the Evie who was only fifteen years old said this.

But Evie did not care and continued to speak.

“There is a person I want to find. But I can’t find them by myself. Of course, there’s no one to help me. So if I purify the water in Tienda, the world will move a little for me then.”

Evie said so, looking at Rohika with empty eyes, and Rohika murmured as if interested.

“It’s strange, who has already stolen this poor child’s heart?”

Looking back now, it was an obvious mockery, but Evie at the time did not even realize it. It was just desperate.

“That’s right, you will become a very difficult person if you are with me. Shall we go together?”

Evie believed those words. So she took that hand, not knowing the hell it would bring.

Evie still regretted that moment.

Of course, Evie had no choice at that time. So whether or not she took Rohika’s hand, Evie’s fate was the same.

But what Evie regrets is her naïveté for believing in Rohika then.

There are no free things in the world.

Everything happens only to those who deserve it.

So if overwhelming luck without a cost comes, you have to doubt it.

Because traps always have bait.

Evie knew this even then. But she let her guard down.

Very occasionally, kind things happen without a cost, because someone told her so.

‘I completely forgot about it.’

Evie, thinking about the old times, suddenly remembered.

The person who softened Evie’s guard. The person Evie wanted to find so much.

After coming to Tienda, she had completely forgotten, having been through too much.

The astrologer who was kind to Evie for the first time in her life.

The existence that she remembered for the first time in a while made one corner of Evie’s heart feel heavy.

But that feeling did not last long. The elevator door opened on the entrance floor of the tower, and DS, who had been waiting in the hall, appeared.

DS was waiting for Evie. Not knowing at all what Rohika had said to her, with the usual slack face.

Seeing such a butler, Evie smiled like a sigh.

The astrologer is still a thankful and missed person, but she has almost given up on finding them.

Not knowing whether the person was dead or alive, searching for them was urgent, considering the situation of being tied to the tower.

Moreover, taking care of the person beside her was even more important at this moment.

“How did the story go…?”

“It went well. Do whatever you want.”

At Die’s question, Evie responded nonchalantly and took the lead.

Then, as always, she smiled boldly and spoke to her friend, who shared life and death.

“Let’s go to Vis. Do whatever you want.”

The sky beyond the valley ripped into thousands of pieces with a roar.

Though a blinding, deafening shock poured out, the watchers of the boundary maintained their ranks and endured.

For tens of minutes, the earth vibrated along with the sound of something falling from the sky.

“It’s over.”

With that familiar sensation, the deputy commander of the watchers, SubCount Moren Arko, muttered, glancing at his pocket watch.

“The silence of Amaneser in one hour and fortyseven minutes by the CommanderinChief’s single combat.”

As he spoke, the lightning and roar that had been striking the world gradually subsided.

This was the eastern end of the subcontinent Vis, the boundary of the east where the mad dragon Amaneser was imprisoned.

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…”

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…
