"It’s because of you, Mother."... more>>

Elicity loved her daughter dearly.

She worked tirelessly to make sure her beloved child would become the queen of the great nation of Salita—and she succeeded.

Or at least, she thought she had.

Until her daughter, stricken with illness, resented her until her dying breath.

Shocked by the loss of her beloved child, Elicity collapsed.

And when she awoke… her daughter was there, young once more.

*

After returning to the past, Elicity vowed that this time, she would let her daughter live as she truly wished.

"I want you and Dad to get along!"

As it turned out, her daughter’s deepest wish was to have a happy family. Before her regression, Elicity had been estranged from her husband, Alex. So, for the sake of their daughter, she resolved to reach out to him.

Fortunately, Alex did not push her away. In fact, his response was surprisingly… enthusiastic.

"Come here. The night is short."

"D-Dear, wait…!"

In the end, he even confessed his love.

"Elicity, I love you."

But the real problem was—she was broken.

‘…He never loved me. Those words are nothing more than lust.’

And yet, her heart pounded. And Elicity was afraid.

Afraid that she might fall in love again with a husband who had never truly loved her. <<less

The beautiful and noble lady, Esilla Layson.... more>>

The crown prince of tainted blood, Edward Lombrück.

She devoted ten years to loving him, but all she received in return was coldness and indifference.

In the end, Esilla requested to annul their engagement. She thought it was what he wanted.

But… was it not?

* * *

There were times when she mistook the flames in those blue eyes as love meant for her.

But no.

It was nothing more than the arrogance of having secured a high-priced woman.

“Your Highness, please stop. You've never once truly wanted me. This... this is just your greed. And I...”

Feeling her heartbeat begin to quicken, Esilla spat the words out all at once.

“I no longer want you, Your Highness.”

* * *

“You. Even if it kills me, I won’t let you break off our engagement.”

“What...”

…What did he just say?

In that moment, Esilla heard the sound of the last string she had been holding onto in her heart snap clean.

“What are you talking about?”

“Today made me realize. I could never let you go.”

Edward’s voice burned as he looked at her with blazing eyes.

“If you’re going to leave me…”

“…”

“Then you might as well die.”

And then Esilla realized.

Ah.

I have to run. <<less

I possessed an extra in a fantasy novel as the young lady of a family that was wiped out by the protagonist. And about 5 years later, I wanted to do something about it, but the problem is that this young lady is, “Woof! Woof woof!” A cute and insignificant small dog, and I possessed a dog that could not turn human yet.... more>>

‘I don’t know how to turn into a human! Help me!’

My priority is to stop the protagonist and turn into a human first. However, while trying to find a way to turn into a human, I end up tangled with the protagonist…

“What is this bite-size thing?”

“Woof… Woof woof.”

“Is it a snack?”

“Woof! Woof!”

Mr. Black Lion, I’m human!? <<less
