TESE Episode 4

  Two Empires, The Slave of the Empire (TESE) 4. The next day, it was almost noon when I woke up. I was lying alone in Giscard's bed. I fell asleep half-naked, but when I opened my eyes, I was wearing new, clean clothes. Not only that, but his body was so soft that it looked like he had even taken a bath. I must have fainted rather than been asleep since I was tossed into the water until I woke up. Was I really unconscious? "Oh, my arm..." I realized late that my arms were free. There were spiderweb-like scars on my wrists. However, the shackles on his ankles were still attached. I got off the bed and walked around the room a bit to estimate the length of the chain. The length is long enough that walking is not a problem. But running would be challenging. You can never run away with this on. I looked at the shackles and bit my lip. Rattling! At that moment, the door opened, and the captain of the guard entered. I had been keeping an eye on him because ...

TESE Episode 3

   Two Empires, The Slave of the Empire (TESE) 3. I don't know how much time passed, but I suddenly came to my senses. It was difficult to open my eyes as my right cheek was swollen. But that was probably a good thing. I struggled to sit up, with a throbbing pain around my hips. The overwhelming shame rushed over me, causing my jaw to tremble. "How dare! How dare that damned bastard!" El Giscard Fasher. I'll kill him. I'll definitely tear him apart! My breathing became very heavy due to my anger towards him. No, rather than my anger at Giscard, my anger at myself rose to the very tip of my chin.  How could I have settled for such humiliation as a lowly slave? I had to suffer terrible humiliation from Giscard in return for peacefully sitting in a miserable slave's quarters. He doesn't have anything to criticize. Because slaves are essentially no different from dogs or pigs. My owner, Count Vincenzio, was generous even to do...

TESE episode 2

Two Empires, The Slave of the Empire (TESE) 2. As the sun was setting, the steward visited the slave quarters. I wondered why he personally came to such a place for business. At that moment, the steward pointed directly at me among the slaves. "I can tell right away. Are you Ray? Follow me; The master is calling for you." "The Lord is looking for me?" Count Vincenzio, with just a small castle, was nothing more than a minor noble, but to me, he was someone far above the sky. After all, wasn't he my owner? But what business could there be for a slave like me to be summoned? My doubts deepened, but since I was a slave, I followed the steward out of the quarters. Upon arriving at the mansion, the steward didn't immediately take me to the Lord but instead pushed me into the bathroom. "Clean yourself up and get ready. We're short on time, so hurry." the steward instructed sternly. Immediately, maids approached, undressed me, and began bathing. After ...

TESE Episode 1

Two Empires, The Slave of the Empire (TESE) 1.  Nobody ever taught me, but I knew a lot from the moment I was born. 'As the Strasse Empire and El Pasher Empire compete to pursue a war of conquest, the entire world was  engulfed in the whirlwind of war.' ' The reduction of the ju risdiction of the noble courts is one of the policies aimed at strengthening imperial power.' ' Fort  Abraham has never been captured by outside invasions in 50 years.' Do you believe in reincarnation? Originally, I didn't believe in such things. However, after experiencing it myself, I couldn't help but believe it. I was a man called 'Levnoad van Strass.' I was the crown prince of the Strasse Empire and also someone who met a pathetic end, poisoned by someone. When I was miraculously reborn on this land, I remembered everything from my past life. But there is a difference between remembering and understanding. So, I couldn't immediately make Levnoad's experiences...

TESE Prologue

Two Empires, The Slave of the Empire (TESE) Prologue    Magical calendar year 233 A.D. The Strasse and El Pasher empires, which had long fought over the continent's supremacy, have decided to sign a cease-fire agreement. The Abek Neutral State, which survived luckily between the two powers, was decided as the venue for the agreement.  The landscape of the continent will be completely different depending on whether the agreement is concluded or not. Amid the worldwide attention, the Crown Prince of the Strasse Empire and the Crown Prince of the El Pasher Empire gathered as representatives. A young man in a crisp gray suit first entered the hall. A refined and handsome face is seen under the neatly cut golden hair. The eyes were beautifully green, reminiscent of a summer field. He had a cheerful look on his face as he walked around the hall. But sometimes the gaze that looked down on people was very Intimidating. Levnoad van Strass, Crown Prince of the Strasse Empire. As a ...
