Chapter 66 Goldrain’s Invitation The news that the Grand Duke had repaired the old garden for the Grand Duchess quickly spread—even reaching Count Avoir’s household. As expected, Meisel called for Marzella. They met this time at Café Delitar, located in the center of Goldrain’s busiest district. It was to avoid being noticed by Tiern. *** “What exactly happened?” At Meisel’s sharp question, Marzella, the head maid, kept her lips tightly shut. A few days ago, almost…-

Chapter 65 Instead of a Bouquet “I was surprised to see the flowers just now starting to bloom.” ‘To be honest, I’ve never even seen spring in the capital before.’ As I quickly tried to say something about spring, Countess Avoir glanced briefly at Baroness Gelfry. Even though it was just a short look, Baroness Gelfry noticed and quickly changed her attitude. I had heard that Rancart Gelfry, who was originally just the son of a wealthy merchant, was only able to become a baron and…

Chapter 64 A Tiring Meeting “Is it true that… the two of them haven’t even spent their first night together?” At Cecilia’s question, Perel’s ears turned bright red. “Well, I… I don’t really know about that…” He actually did know, but he couldn’t possibly talk about such things with an unmarried maid. Seeing his reaction, Cecilia’s expression hardened as if she had gotten her answer. “Oh my, that’s worse than I thought. Don’t tell me there’s something…

Chapter 63 A Heated Response Mr. Barnes woke up late and reached for the Northern News on his bedside table. He had bought it on his way home from work yesterday, but the pages were already wrinkled—his wife must have read it first. He opened the page that was folded more deeply than the others. ‘Cecile’s Recipe #6: Beef Stew’ “Looks like we’re having beef stew for lunch,” he muttered. Every time the Northern News came out, Cecile’s featured recipe would be served…

~Chapter 55~ No one had liked it, but Bella often invited Harriet to her gatherings. That day, at one of Bella’s tea parties, Harriet took a bite of the food on her plate—then immediately gagged and spit it out. “What the hell are you doing?” Caroline snapped. Harriet, panicking, tried to wipe her mouth with a napkin, unable to even respond properly. Of course, everyone frowned at the scene. “The… the taste was weird,” Harriet mumbled. “What are you saying? We’re all… -
~Chapter 54~ “Really? She thinks of the other person first? That’s surprising. Did she really come out of the monastery a changed person?” “I’m not sure exactly, but she definitely seems extremely careful about getting involved with men.” “She was hurt by love and even got cast out by her family… Oh! That was a slip of the tongue! Haha!” Bella was horrified that people were starting to feel sorry for Harriet. She had worked so hard to make Harriet seem like a pitiful, ugly…

~Chapter 53~ The phrase on the poster, “If I wash away your sins, you will be saved,” which quoted a scripture, was strangely fitting. People stopped by the store and looked at the poster, laughing a little but also impressed. “A soap that washes away sins? Haha!” “I guess dirty skin is a sin for women.” “Really? Should I buy one for my wife too?” Even middle-aged men who normally didn’t care about beauty products bought several bars, saying they’d give them to their…

~Chapter 52~ “Uh, is there any way to get some more soap? I have a party in a few days, and I need my skin to improve even a little by then.” “Why?” “…Someone’s coming.” Ah! Harriet found Viviana, who was so desperate to impress the man she liked, kind of cute. Not long ago, she had been so annoying. Harriet smiled softly and took out a small package she had prepared in advance. She had known from the start that Viviana’s visit was because of the soap. “Where is the…

~Chapter 51~ Manual labor was almost like a line that separated commoners from nobles. Publicly admitting to doing such work was like confessing that you had fallen to the level of a commoner. But Harriet was not ashamed at all. “Of course it was hard. But while stirring the soap ingredients in the pot for days, I was able to reflect on God’s words. I realized my foolishness and sincerely repented.” Everyone admired her honest confession about something she might have wanted to…

~Chapter 50~ Even though Benedict had told himself it would be fine, sitting face-to-face with Cedric in the drawing room of the Duke of Kailas’s estate brought a strange tension. He spent over 30 minutes on small talk before smoothly shifting to news of others, as if casually updating Cedric on his own life. “By the way, do you know Viscount Livingston?” “I think I’ve heard the name. He built some wealth through construction, didn’t he?” “Oh, so you do know him? His son runs a…
