The Second Remarkable Trait. The Lord occasionally displayed behaviour as if possessed by divine inspiration. It was during lunch one day, when a short tea break was taken after processing towering stacks of documents. The one who served the Lord most closely was Botello Oron, who inherited the position of Head Attendant from his grandfather.…

During lunch, perhaps because of the rumours quickly spreading about the Red Dragon, the landowners’ attitudes shifted dramatically. They bowed deeply, rubbing their hands together in exaggerated politeness, as if they had never opposed the appointment of commoners. On rare occasion, however, a few still stubbornly voiced their objections—only to have a repeat of what…

Since his appointment as an administrator, Alika had seen the Red Dragon more often than the Lord himself. And for good reason—this Red Dragon frequently lounged in the snow as if it were his own bed. Occasionally, after he left, the spot bore clear traces like a large dog had played and rolled around there.…

Whether it was thanks to Alika and his parents’ earnest prayers to the divine, his name was on the list of those who passed the second exam posted in front of the administrative office. Alika was overjoyed, as if he could jump to the sky. But his joy was short-lived—when he boarded the carriage again…

A Certain Administrator’s Daily Life Alika, a first-class administrator of Solar under the rule of Grand Lord Solar Sing Eira, still vividly remembered the day he passed the administrator exam. “Mother, Father! I passed the administrator exam!” On the day he passed the administrator exam, he flung open the door and shouted with an excited…

“Alright, everyone. These two are our newest citizens of the domain—Raga and Peril.” Eira introduced them with a cheerful expression. The two stood up with bashful faces and introduced themselves. “Hello, I’m Raga. I’ll be working as a diplomat.” “I’m Peril. I’ll be joining the research tower. I look forward to working with you.” As…

This young lord would surely live on forever with the appearance of a beautiful youth, so long as the dragon did not die… Half of Elsis felt envy, and the other half wished he could somehow live here himself. Compared to his own modest domain, this city was just too breathtaking. Soon, the lengthy performance…

After giving the little pebble a loving squeeze like a stress ball, Eira dragged his feet toward the bedroom. Once bathed and changed into comfortable clothes, he entered his study to catch up on paperwork—where he found Yanu waiting, sprawled lazily across the sofa munching on something crunchy. “Welcome back. You look tired.” “Why is…

Elsis came rushing back a few minutes later with his two adopted children. Both were impressively dressed up. They’d gone pale whenever Yanu was around, yet now, reassured that only Eira was present, Raga and Peril wore pretty smiles and greeted him with gentle voices. “It’s an honour to meet you, Lord Eira.” “Yes, you’re…

Lunch with Yanu had been thoroughly satisfying. The chef, who had come north with a southern trade guild, managed to evoke the nostalgic flavours of the southern labyrinth for Eira—enough that he still thought about it the next day. While changing clothes, Eira spoke idly. “Oron, a seafood place just opened in the city… Yanu…
