Adlyn is a popular model student who secretly loves reading manhwua and mangas. One day after school, she and her bff openly spoke about their love for reading. A fangirl overheard their conversation and gave her "Varia of the Black Beasts". Forced...

At first glance, the wooden horse that gently swayed back and forth without any noise according to the movement of the child was a luxury item. The black horse's eyes were studded with expensive jewels, and the blue saddle for children was generously made from expensive fabrics that could only be used for dresses. The round legs with minimal movement also swayed softly, skillfully cut and trimmed from solid wood.
Leonia's eyes are as dark as the starless night sky, as she rocks on the perfect horse and looks only in front of her.
It was a scene that reminded him of the child's book 'Life is All In Vain'.
He even gets a little scared.
When he turns to the other child, Adlyn no longers play on the slide but is playing with some dolls around the living room table.
It seems he is in a meeting rather than having play time, but with his sparkling yellow eyes, it looks more cute than dreary.
At least one of his children can be saved.
Phileo, unable to see that, calls for Adlyn and Leonia.
"Lyn, Leo."
"Dad!"
Leonia, who had entrusted her body to the horse, runs over as if waiting.
"Dad, did you see it? I rode the horse? I played with toys?"
"Yes, I saw it too."
He watched it with a complicated mind.
Although the work to be resolved is piling up day by day, for Phileo, the recovery of Leonia's innocence and Adlyn's childhood is his top priority.
But Phileo didn't want his only son and daughter to play with toys with those obligatory expressions.
Phileo sits a good distance from the fireplace on the couch which is adjacent to the table his son's playing on.
He's dragged from his meeting and flops through Phileo's legs.
"Daddy?" He calls.
"Looks like you enjoy your game."
"Game? I was reenacting the meeting of the imperial establishment of the Belius Empire and the division of hierarchy within the empire!"
Phileo's hope for his childhood crumbles as his son talks about what he discussed in his playful game.
When Phileo asks if he too plays with all the toys, Adlyn says he moved the toys to locate possible business ventures in the empire.
He can't believe that the boy used play time to calculate and practice his future businesses.
"Leo had to help Adlyn since Adlyn didn't know how to play with the toys."
