Chapter 46 Tea Time (1) When Cecilia saw the other girls glance over at Meisel, she scoffed inwardly. ‘Looks like Meisel is up to her tricks again.’ It was almost as if the girls had been ordered not to speak until Meisel said something first. Among girls their age, Meisel was practically royalty in the social scene. No matter how high-ranking the duchess was, she had no ties to the North. To these girls, Meisel—who could ruin their social prospects right away—was the scarier…-

Chapter 45 Advice from the Knights: Loic suddenly stopped walking. “Right? Don’t you think so?” Demiche gestured to the other knights behind him. “Y-yes, I think so.” “What’s different about him?” “Did he get a haircut?” The knights whispered from behind, unsure but curious. Loic cleared his throat awkwardly. “There’s definitely something different about him today.” Then, Leon, who was standing in the back, raised his voice. “I think it’s his…

Chapter 44 News from the North “Mmm, this is really good.” I savored the flavorful chicken leg meat inside the busy restaurant. The reaction to the picture menu was much bigger than I expected. I thought it might be popular, but hearing that the restaurant had been packed at lunchtime just two days after putting up the menu board made it impossible for me to stay still. So I dragged Norton out with me on a secret visit. I even asked Leta to get me some plain clothes, and when I…

Chapter 43 A Delicious Picture Milo and his wife were passing through Goldrain. They were on their way back home after selling the wool they had gathered over the winter. “How about we stop to eat?” Milo asked his wife. They had left early in the morning, but it had taken longer than expected to negotiate prices. If they had gone straight home now, they would have missed mealtime completely. “I am feeling a bit hungry,” His wife replied, glancing around with a hesitant…

Chapter 42 The Outsourced Job ‘So that’s the kind of expression he makes when it’s just the two of them.’ Perel observed his lord leaning in close to the duchess in a manner he had never seen before, clumsily fitting his bulky frame into a tiny chair. “Sir Perel!” The duchess spotted him and waved with a smile. At her words, the Duke, Loic, slowly turned his head toward Perel with an expressionless look only Perel could read, muttering under his breath: “You’re back…

Chapter 41 Spring Comes The sweet scent filling the room made my mouth watery without me realizing it. I had asked the head chef to come up with some desserts suitable for tea time, but… Now I wondered if that request had been too much pressure, especially since he’d never even seen the new hostess in person. I felt a little sorry about it. “Did I ask too much?” “What do you mean, Your Highness?” The chef, Berni, looked excited, his face slightly flushed and eyes…

Chapter 40 Trial Since their last meeting was caught by the Grand Duchess, it had become much harder for Meisel to enter the Grand Duke’s estate. In the end, Marzella had no choice but to take leave and visit the Count of Avoir’s estate herself. As soon as the parlor door closed, Meisel, who had been acting excited in front of the maids by claiming that her nanny had arrived, abruptly changed her mood. Of course, this was the Meisel that Marzella was familiar with. “You should’ve told…

Chapter 38 The Villainous Companion For the next four days, I stayed in my room to recover. Honestly, I felt fine as soon as I woke up, but my doctor, Hosen, kept fussing over me multiple times a day, so I had no choice but to act weak. If the Grand Duke hadn’t visited me every morning and evening to keep me company, I would have died of boredom. I felt a little guilty seeing him so worried, but I liked how much effort he was putting in to take care of me, so I pretended not to…

Chapter 37 A Selfish Decision “Is she really okay?” Loic ran a hand over his face, looking worried. “Aside from a bit of anemia, there are no serious issues,” the doctor, Hosen, answered nervously. Despite working at the Grand Duke’s castle for nearly a year, this was his first time seeing the Grand Duke up close. Usually, his job was to treat knights returning from battle, not to care for the lord and lady of the castle. Thanks to the Grand Duchess’s collapse, he finally had a…
