"Your friends arrived and were making too much noise around you, so I kicked them out. Are you doing okay?" The marquis seemed to notice that I was quite uncomfortable at the moment.

The person who had come near me had been Cory. As soon as I saw Cory, I couldn't help but relax. I could see that the protective barrier was in place, and now that I knew that Cory, the powerful genius magician had arrived, I wouldn't die because of assassins or magicians. Knowing Cory's personality, … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (114)

"Your whole family is about to die. If both of us don't move together, the plan won't work." Cory didn't outright deny my words, but it looked like he wanted to do it alone.

When … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (110)

CW/TW: Depiction of suicide, suicide attempt (TL;DR on bottom) I observed Cory's situation and saw my own experiences reflected within it. I could see the similarities between the two of us.

His family used to be happy and peaceful, but his parents grew busier with work as time passed, resulting in a lack of attention to Cory. Seeing how the only people who took care of him in real life was … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (108)

CW/TW: Brief blood, depictions of injuries (TL;DR below) He ended up finding the black magic circle on the back of my hand and slammed his blade into my hand. I wanted to avoid it, but Swanhaden was faster. I was still on my stomach on the floor so I couldn't even see him--avoiding him was … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (107)

CW: descriptions of gore, cruelty (TL;DR on the bottom of the page!) After carefully listening to their conversations, I learned about a few new interesting details.
