Kail's seraglio has expanded by seven willful princesses, and Yuri is forced to take a firm stand to stop them from harassing her to death. But when the princesses start dropping dead, one after the other, all the evidence points to Yuri as the murderer! Yuri is sure Nakia's scheming--and will-sapping black water--is behind it, but she wonders if that's all that's driving the real culprit to commit these heinous crimes. How will Yuri uncover the truth and expose the perpetrator without casting even greater suspicion on herself?

Oh good,

I can't find any more of these anywhere...*cry*

This situation is truly disheartening. It seems that despite my best efforts, I have come up empty-handed in my search for more of these.

Perhaps it is a sign that they are becoming increasingly rare or difficult to obtain.

It makes me feel a sense of disappointment and frustration.

I wonder if there are any alternative sources or methods that I could explore to find what I'm looking for.

Maybe I need to expand my search radius or reach out to others who might have more knowledge or connections in this area.

Until then, I will continue to hold onto the hope that I will eventually come across more of these precious items.

For now, all I can do is let out a sigh and keep my eyes open for any possible leads.

This volume had an interesting mix of elements. There was a wannabe harem, which added a touch of drama and complexity to the story. And then there was a whodunit, which gave Yuri the opportunity to show off her inner strength and determination, like a fierce lioness. However, this also had the unfortunate consequence of cutting short the budding affection between herself and Kail. We've been patiently waiting for nearly half the series to see their relationship develop, and it's a bit disappointing to have it interrupted like this.

Of course, wouldn't you know it? Yuri gets kidnapped... again. It seems like this is becoming a bit of a recurring theme in the series. I can't help but wonder if I'm the only one who wants the series to focus more on a healthy dose of romance and politics. All the kidnapping and revenge plots are starting to feel like filler, rather than essential parts of the story.

But despite my griping and complaining, I have to admit that I do still intend to see the series through. There's something about it that keeps pulling me in, and I'm curious to see how the story will unfold and how Yuri and Kail's relationship will ultimately develop. Maybe there are still some surprises in store that will make all of this worthwhile.

Damn the hardships!

Life is full of various difficulties and challenges. We often find ourselves facing hardships that seem insurmountable. But instead of succumbing to them, we should rise above and say "damn the hardships".

Hardships can come in many forms. It could be financial struggles, relationship problems, or difficulties in our careers. They test our strength, perseverance, and determination. However, it is precisely through these hardships that we grow and learn.

When we encounter hardships, we have a choice. We can either let them break us or use them as an opportunity to become stronger. We should not let the hardships define us but rather let them shape us into better individuals.

So, the next time you face hardships, remember to say "damn the hardships". Keep pushing forward, believing in yourself, and never giving up. Because in the end, it is through the hardships that we find our true potential and achieve success.

Don't Mess with the Ishtar!!!!

The Ishtar is a force to be reckoned with. It holds a certain power and significance that demands respect. Whether it's in the context of history, mythology, or some other realm, the Ishtar commands attention. It has withstood the test of time and continues to have an impact. Those who dare to mess with the Ishtar do so at their own peril. Its might and influence are not to be underestimated. It has the ability to bring about change and consequences. So, think twice before crossing paths with the Ishtar. Respect its power and leave it be. For those who don't, they may find themselves facing a force that they cannot handle. The Ishtar is a symbol of strength and mystery, and it should be treated as such.

Qua i morti si contano alla grande!!


The princesses invited to the court of Kail begin to fall like flies and the queen finds a way to blame Yuri for everything.


I was wondering what had become of Lusafa, who had admitted to being in love with Yuri. This was an interesting path to follow and it seems that Shinohara has finally taken action.


I'm a bit sorry that my Kash now always remains in the background. He continues to be my favorite character. Maybe in the future, there will be more opportunities for him to shine and show his true charm. We'll have to wait and see what happens next in this story. Will Yuri be able to clear her name? Will Kash get his chance to step into the spotlight? Only time will tell.

What first drew me to this series was the romantic historical aspect.

I was completely captivated by the idea of a modern day girl being pulled back into the past.

There is something truly enchanting about those stories that just draw me in.

Maybe it's the challenge that the girl faces in trying to fit into a completely different world.

She has to rely so much on the guy to be able to get along and survive in that unfamiliar environment.

It creates a unique dynamic and a sense of adventure that I find extremely appealing.

I would highly recommend this series to fans of Inuyasha.

It shares a lot of the same concepts, such as time travel and a strong male-female relationship.

If you loved Inuyasha, I'm sure you'll enjoy this series just as much.

Give it a try and let yourself be swept away by the romance and excitement.

To be honest, I'm not really impressed. The whole thing just didn't seem to have much substance. There was nothing that really stood out or made me think, "Wow, this is amazing." It was all rather average and unremarkable. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I just felt like there could have been more effort put into it. The presentation was okay, but it lacked that certain something that would have made it truly memorable. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I really didn't get a whole lot out of it.
