~Chapter 53~ Through the Garnet family, a denial article was published in two or three newspapers.The Imperial Palace also immediately released a special edition with a similar statement. The Crown Prince’s first scandal, which had shaken the entire capital, finally began to quiet down after just half a day. “They say Bovard Newspaper has decided to shut down temporarily, taking responsibility for publishing a speculative article.” “So, they pulled out quickly… It really was Duke Jizir’s…- 1.2 M • Completed
- ~Chapter 52~ “Was… was that Father’s voice just now?” “Yes! Oh dear, it seems the Baron must have seen the article!” The only one in the mansion who could shout loud enough to make the whole house tremble was none other than Baron Garnet. I pulled a troubled face, while Sophia looked torn between hiding me or panicking with me. “…This is a nightmare.” All this trouble, just from attending one social party. It was truly disaster upon disaster. But I couldn’t possibly go…

- ~Chapter 51~ I had no idea how Richard’s thoughts twisted things so much that he ended up believing I came to the party because of a man. Seriously, that guy must have only come because of me. Not to watch over me—but to provoke me, make me lose my temper, and then catch me in the act. “Is that not the reason?” “Of course not! Who comes to a party just for a man?” “Whether man or woman, most people attend for that reason.” Ah, right. In romance-fantasy novels, social parties filled…

- ~Chapter 50~ “Hello, Young Lord Hutton. I’m Amelie Garnet of the Garnet family.” Since he had already greeted me, I couldn’t just run away. I smiled politely but avoided saying anything that might show interest. “I already knew your name. My close friend is in the Imperial Knights, so I often visited the training grounds.” “Ah, now that you mention it, I think I saw you there a few times.” “Yes. But lately, you haven’t been coming, so when I saw you here at the party, I thought I…

- ~Chapter 49~ Richard left the counseling office with a complicated expression. Why had he even come here in disguise? After talking with Amelie, he felt doubtful. The worries he had brought up in counseling had all been lies. Saying Lyssa wasn’t fit to be commander, saying he shouldn’t stay close to her—those weren’t his true thoughts. He had only said them to see Amelie’s reaction. If Amelie still hated Lyssa or was obsessed with him, she would have secretly welcomed Lyssa’s…

- ~Chapter 48~ “Alright, this should do.” I placed the last self-defense knuckle into a tin case and smiled with satisfaction. Today was the day Sir Logan was scheduled to visit. Since he was the strongest candidate for the hidden mastermind, I prepared thoroughly, even arriving at work an hour early. I hid self-defense tools all around the room, and the guards were stationed much closer than usual. “Why do I have to stay here, yorp?” Omok was also waiting inside a birdcage on the table.If…

- ~Chapter 47~ I instinctively hid Omok behind my back. The two people with their faces completely covered showed no sign of stepping aside. Where were the knights? Normally they would have rushed out right away, but there was no sign of them. ‘No way… did they already take care of them…?’ Just as I was about to run away— “Pffft. It’s me, Amelie.” The person on the right pulled down their hood. “Lyssa?” The suspicious figure revealed was none other than Lyssa. Then who was…

- ~Chapter 46~ “Lillian, welcome—!” I jumped up from my seat to greet her. My rope from heaven, my light! In that moment, Lillian’s presence was worth more than ten customers. She grabbed both my hands and bounced excitedly, showing even more joy than I did. “I had some free time today, so I stopped by. Do you have any other guests coming?” “No, not at all. I’m just grateful you came again, Lillian.” After a short but heartfelt greeting, we sat down. Instead of coffee, I made…

- ~Chapter 45~ Where am I, and who am I? I sat on a ridiculously comfortable sofa, with nothing better to do than count the patterns on the wallpaper. I had come here to meet Richard. So how on earth did it end up like this? He had even replied, saying he would be at the imperial palace. But when I arrived, Richard was away on some other business. Instead, the head chamberlain, who seemed to have been waiting for me, led me straight into the Crown Prince’s palace. “Long time no see, Lady Amelie.…

- ~Chapter 44~ “It was definitely a lock…” After sending Sir Logan away last night and returning to the mansion, I was completely lost in chaos. He had seemed like just a slightly unusual guest, yet above his head floated a clear lock icon. It was already strange when he said his worry was about Lyssa.But now—Bastian and even Richard’s closest aide both had lock emojis! My mind was so tangled that I couldn’t even bring myself to go to the counseling office. “Young Lady, I brought ice…
