【Side Story 1】

Callipus thought that if there was a golden age in his life, it would be this very moment.

He had ended the 20-year war with Doctia, regained his lost children, and even had a good relationship with those children.

Even just this much would have made him happy without any regrets.

But the blessings didn’t end there.

His second son, Lucas.

He currently served as the Captain of the Guards for the Crosht Family and was soon to inherit the position of head of the family.

Also, though he had never heard it directly from Lucas’s mouth, it seemed like marriage news would come soon.

‘Brother, how are things going with Young Lady Leila? You’re dating well, right?’

‘Wh-what do you mean how are things going? We’re not dating. We just occasionally have a meal together, and tea time…’

‘Isn’t that dating?’

‘How is this dating! Young Lady Leila just said there was a restaurant she really wanted to go to, so I made a reservation a month ago and we went together!’

Lucas, blushing red, clearly didn’t know the exact meaning of dating.

Though he was denying it, perhaps because the fact that he was affectionate toward someone other than family felt awkward to him, he was still steadily following the path of loving couples with Leila.

Then wouldn’t marriage news come around the time he becomes head of the family?

‘The future of the Crosht Family looks bright.’

Callipus smiled comfortably and thought of his next child.

His eldest son, Sedric.

Actually, Sedric had been his painful finger.

Raised as a spy from childhood, he had even tried to kidnap Aisha at one point.

But now he had successfully reformed and received a barony along with granted territory.

Someone might say, the son of a grand ducal family is merely a baron?

But if that territory was where Doctia’s royal palace had been, the story was different.

The territory, which included not only the old royal palace but also the surrounding mansions and city, easily established itself as a goldmine without much effort.

Since he could now sell the old Doctia specialties that could previously only be obtained through difficult trade, Sedric’s business naturally had to expand throughout the entire empire.

Thus, though Baron Sedric’s family was of low rank in high society, it had grown into a family that no one could ignore.

No, it probably wasn’t just because of his business.

‘Oh my- isn’t that Baron Sedric? I’ve only heard rumors about you, and this is the first time I’m seeing you in person. I had something I wanted to ask if I met the Baron.’

‘Please speak.’

‘By any chance, Baron, don’t you feel jealous or irritated? You used to be the eldest of the Croste Ducal family, but your younger brother is about to take the head position entirely.’

‘So you’ve been loafing around with such thoughts.’

‘Wh-what?! I asked out of concern for you, Baron, yet you dare speak to me, a Marquis, like that…!’

‘If it weren’t for that bloodline, wouldn’t you be the one showing respect right now.’

‘…’

‘Sir.’

Sedric probably didn’t know.

That he was currently the talk of high society.

Well, of course he couldn’t know.

The nobles would gossip about Sedric, but when he appeared, they would shut their mouths tight.

Callipus thought.

Even if Sedric had been born a commoner, he would have lived proudly without making pitiful sounds to anyone.

‘Anyway, he’s reformed and doing his job well, so I’m happy as a father.’

This time too, Callipus closed his eyes with a satisfied smile.

Now it was the last one.

His youngest daughter Aisha, who wouldn’t hurt even if he put her in his eyes.

Though Aisha currently had nothing to do, that was also what Callipus wanted most.

She had trained to survive in the Pose family’s training grounds from the age of 5, or even younger.

He was grateful that she had somehow survived in that harsh environment and come to him, and she had even brought Lucas and Sedric.

Callipus no longer expected anything from Aisha.

He only wished for her to eat well, play well, and sleep well.

Rather, he was grateful that he could spend time with her thanks to his daughter who had no thoughts of marriage.

Though Aisha was of marriageable age, she was a filial daughter among filial daughters who said she wanted to live with her father forever.

One of the reasons this happened was that Callipus tore up every marriage proposal that came in and used them as firewood for the fireplace.

“Regardless of the process, isn’t it fine as long as the result is good?”

Callipus was satisfied with everything.

Now the only thing he had to worry about was planning where and how to enjoy himself after retirement?

But then.

“Father. What would you think if I brought someone I want to marry?”

After Maein Kail’s coronation ceremony.

If his daughter, who had been watching his mood and quietly approached him, whispered such words, how would his heart feel?

Callipus asked again in disbelief.

“…Suddenly?”

“Well, assuming I’m thinking I want to get married. What would you think if I brought a marriage partner?”

Crash-!

He heard the sound of a huge castle collapsing behind him.

Thus his golden age ended with his daughter’s single sentence.

* * *

10 years ago.

After the Maein appeared, the Frozen Kingdom was enjoying unprecedented peace.

Of course, no one knew that this was the result of Aisha turning back the past,

but civilization had finally been built in the middle of the snowy plains that had been called beyond the world.

Sharp spires that seemed to cut through the snow.

The king of monsters named that castle Aishaus.

He had tried to name it Aisha House, but it was a secret that it was revised after being caught by the person in question and through negotiations that were like threats.

And so today.

King Kail was crowned.

* * *

“Oh my, look at those dwarves over there!”

“Don’t make it obvious this is your first time here. What if they hear you?”

A noblewoman who had just entered the hall whispered to the noble beside her and then closed her mouth.

The reactions of the nobles attending the coronation were one of two.

Either surprised and frightened like that.

“…Those werewolves sitting there so quietly, is the world deceiving me.”

Or bursting into hollow laughter as if they couldn’t believe it, like Father.

‘Everyone really finds it unfamiliar.’

Until before turning back time, there had been much exposure of monsters to civilians too.

But after the past changed, unprecedented peace came to the Frozen Kingdom, so people no longer had reason to be interested in monsters.

So everyone was staring at the dwarves as if they had seen ghosts.

When various reactions like scared, amazed, wanting to run away right now were rising like waves, the dwarf guarding the door area shouted loudly.

“Those gathered here for His Majesty’s coronation, please all rise and show respect. His Majesty the King’s procession begins!”

At the words that the King was finally processing, the nobles rose one by one.

The wolves waiting around and the giants who had been wandering and chatting did the same.

When two small dwarves vigorously opened the great door, a huge man appeared through the doorway.

White hair resembling the snowy plains fluttered with his neat gait.

People stiffened knowing that the purple eyes revealed between were a characteristic of monsters.

“…”

When he walking toward the pedestal gave me a faint smile.

“Gasp.”

“…Oh my.”

With sounds of breath stopping around, young ladies fanned themselves with their hands.

Hey, hey. Don’t get distracted and show the dignity of a king.

That’s when it happened.

“…Who are you smiling at?”

At Kail’s strange behavior, Lucas looked around as if searching for the protagonist.

‘Kail. Look forward.’

I raised my triangular eyes and secretly lifted my finger.

“Not interested.”

My body froze at Father’s words.

“As long as it’s not my daughter.”
