Chapter 008 Seeing the girl’s bright smile, Dedrick felt a strange tickling sensation in his chest. It tickled so much that he couldn’t help but rub his chest for no reason. “…Just me?” “Yeah, only you, Didi. I approached you with a very sly and devious plan—to survive. Didi, you’re going to become such an amazing person that you’ll easily be able to save me.” For someone claiming to have approached with devious intentions, she looked unbelievably soft and harmless, leaving…-

Chapter 007 With just that smile, everything he had tried to ignore about that girl came rushing back. Her face on the first day, awkwardly greeting me, came vividly to mind. The girl who gave me earnest advice with her plump little lips in an effort to help me. The girl who chattered cheerfully, introducing herself and asking me not to be wary of her. The girl who lit up with joy whenever I responded to her. The girl who shielded me from Somerset and Axel whenever they tried to bully me. For some…

Chapter 06 There’s no way he could sense my presence… Is it because he’s a Duke? He’s really suspicious. I wondered about it while cautiously touching the necklace. Sure enough, the spell on it seemed to have disappeared, as there was no reaction when I touched it. The Duke scanned the room while looking at Delani, who stood still as a statue. “Or should I search the place myself and humiliate you?” “…Bring it.” In the end, the Duchess backed down. “Wait, were…

Chapter 5 I immediately returned to the Grand Duchess’s wardrobe. From the crack in the door, I could hear the voice of a woman. “So, you’re saying there’s nothing wrong with the anti-theft magic?” “Yes, Madam. It seems someone must have touched it to trigger the magic. Otherwise, there would’ve been no reason for it to activate…” “……” Even after the maid Gemma finished speaking, the Duchess remained silent for a while. Peering through the gap, I couldn’t help…

Chapter 4 “…….” When he clenched his hand, I took a step back, smiling awkwardly. “Sorry…….” “…….” He kept his head down, gripping the fork tightly with his reddened hand, and began twirling the pasta. The noodles looked springy and perfect on the outside. It looked delicious. I could feel Dedrick sneaking glances at me. “Is it awkward? Should I just crawl into the closet?” Instead of answering, he hesitated with the fork full of noodles mid-air,…

Chapter 3 Seeing no intention to open the door, I quietly lay down inside the wardrobe. There was no need to force my way out and upset Dedrick. As a wardrobe monster, being locked inside wasn’t scary—rather, it felt cozy and comfortable. With my body and mind at ease, I drifted into thought. ‘Why is Dedrick so wary of me?’ …The answer was simple: because he didn’t know me. Of course, I never explained who I was to him. People naturally become cautious around the unknown. So, maybe…

Chapter 2 “What are you doing? Let’s go.” “……” “Are you refusing?” Dedrick hesitated before getting up, knowing full well that refusal would only provoke a barrage of insults from him. I prepared to follow Dedrick out of the room as well. Though I couldn’t stay outside the wardrobe for long… ‘Still, I should be able to manage for about an hour, right?’ If there were wardrobes in the dining room, I could have traveled there directly and observed from inside. But…

Chapter 1 “Ugh…” A faint groan slipped out from behind the wardrobe. As soon as I arrived at the wardrobe, I heard the sound and cautiously opened the door. Creeeak… Through the small gap, I saw a boy curled up and trembling. ‘That kid…’ Why is he here? As confusion swept over me, the faces of two boys, greedy and cruel, flashed through my mind. My brow furrowed tightly on its own. ‘They bullied him again, didn’t they?’ Normally, I would have ignored the…

Chapter 40 The First Secret Plan (4) When the unconscious Serena woke up again, the first scene she saw was an ominous altar. An altar probably built from piled bones. An unidentifiable magic circle drawn on top of it. Even an old man with a spider beard kneeling in prayer. “Ah.” She should’ve just stayed unconscious. What wealth and glory was worth waking up for? No. She couldn’t give up on life like this. Right now the old man was distracted, absorbed in prayer. If heavenly luck…-

Chapter 39 The First Secret Plan (3) Violence is frightening to everyone. Serena was also afraid of violence. However, simple violence could be wielded by anyone. The violence of the outlaws Serena faced was essentially no different from an eight-year-old child stepping on and killing a bug. Truly childish and utterly shallow show of force. On the other hand, what about Penelope? Penelope had made Blyton, her competitor, ‘commit suicide’ using her family. She absorbed the cream of the business…
