To Live as an Immortal

Synopsis

To Live as an Immortal Chapter 33 has been released. Darkness creeps in like winter's chill when faith falters – it's then that you realize just how isolated Dietmarschen truly is. Priestess Roberta's assignment here feels more like exile, especially considering the circumstances surrounding the departure of her predecessor. As she takes on her role as head priest, whispers abound about the infamous Duke Ulrich, ruler of this forsaken land for over three centuries. His claim of being an immortal serves only to deepen Roberta's unease; what secrets lie behind those ageless eyes? Ulrich's immortal existence would be incredible enough if it weren't paired with an unsettling air of detachment. He moves through the castle corridors with a deliberate pace, each step imbued with the weight of countless memories yet unspoken. People call him 'His Grace', but some whisper among themselves that perhaps this title should strike fear into hearts instead of inspiring reverence. And it isn't hard to see why: stories tell of watchful servants vanishing overnight and midsummer festivals interrupted by eerie silences. What drives Ulrich, really, beyond perpetuating an image of a benevolent monarch? Does his eternal youth come with costs Roberta dares not imagine, or perhaps there lies something more profound governing these mysteries? As shadows lengthen across icy landscapes, private reflections start becoming essential components within Roberta's daily routine – treating the murmurings lurking deep inside herself requires stilling water long enough to confront its dark undercurrents.
