Chapter 32 Dedrick and I didn’t hear about Somerset until evening when Jenkinson relayed the news. “So, Somerset is currently…” “He’s under house arrest in his room.” “…” “The leader of the White Hawks has been dismissed as of today.” I muttered in surprise. “So, it was the wooden sword with the iron blade that caused his injury.” I gritted my teeth in anger upon hearing the truth from Jenkinson. “That bastard! Is that enough punishment?! Just house…- 1.2 M • Completed
- Chapter 31 “Hey, um…” “Yeah?” I quickly erased my smile and looked at him. Fidgeting with his hands, Dedrick hesitantly asked, “Is there anything you’d like to include in the name? Like a symbol or something…” Still struggling with the name, huh? I stared into his blue eyes and pointed at them. “Your eyes.” “My eyes?” “I want it to be something blue.” Dedrick touched the corner of his eye, looking a little embarrassed. “But that represents me, not…

- Chapter 30 I glared at Somerset and swung my arm wide to loosen up before giving him a proper lesson. ‘This guy is just as scared of ghosts as Axel is.’ Whenever something strange happens, he runs away without looking back. ‘I’ll use that for my advantage and teach him a harsher lesson than usual.’ After all, monsters are supposed to be terrifying to humans. If it gets bad enough, it can leave a trauma. That’s exactly what I planned to give Somerset this time. ‘Looks…

- Chapter 29 The soft, fluffy texture of his gray hair felt comforting under her touch. The girl carefully patted his head. “…Still, you’re probably in more pain than I am. I’m sorry for crying.” For some reason, she misunderstood, thinking it was her crying that bothered him. Dedrick didn’t bother correcting her. “I’m fine now, Didi,” she said softly. Dedrick pulled away from her embrace and looked at her. Her eyes and nose were red, and she was still sniffling, despite…

- Chapter 28 The table was piled high with ointments and bandages, all taken from the infirmary. “Did I take too much?” After neatly organizing the medical supplies, I worked on the homework Dedrick had given me while waiting for him. By now, I’d improved enough to write a few words without looking them up. My handwriting even seemed to be resembling Dedrick’s. ‘Of course, that’s natural since he’s teaching me.’ Dedrick’s writing was so neat and elegant that I couldn’t…

- Chapter 27 After seeing Joanna warmly greet him at a social party, Somerset’s one-sided love began. Although he believed he didn’t show his feelings, his mother noticed and even pushed for their engagement. His mother had always said he could have anything he wanted, and Somerset never doubted her words. ‘Sure, I yelled at Joanna yesterday because I was so angry, but I’ll just apologize, and it’ll be fine.’ He was the eldest son of the Blackwood family. Everyone admired him and wanted…

- Chapter 26 I turned to face Dedrick, smiling, and he awkwardly looked away, lowering his eyes. “Are you uncomfortable?” I asked. “……” “It must be really uncomfortable. You can sleep on the bed if you want.” “I’m going to sleep now,” he replied, hurriedly shutting his eyes and pretending to sleep. So Cute. To reassure him I wasn’t going to kick him out, I patted his arm and closed my eyes too. The warmth of our foreheads touching made it easy to fall asleep. Even…

- Chapter 25 I manipulated Dedrick from the side. “Just say you brought the wrong book. You were trying to bring another one but made a mistake, and now you’re going to put it back.” “It was just a mistake. I was going to put it back,” Dedrick repeated exactly what I said, and Joanna, showing clear disappointment, drooped her shoulders. “Ah, I see.” Joanna, fiddling with the fairytale book, nervously spoke to him. “Don’t put it back. Read it, it’s really fun!” “No,…

- Chapter 24 The story in the book went into great detail about the fairytale. It went like this: One day, an orphan appeared in front of a prince. The orphan fell in love with the prince at first sight and followed him every day. But the prince, being of noble birth, ignored the orphan because of their low status. Still, the orphan didn’t give up, believing that love could overcome all obstacles. The orphan did everything they could to help the prince, and surprisingly, the orphan ended up…

- Chapter 23 Early in the morning, Joanna woke up from bed. No matter how comfortable the room was, she couldn’t sleep well whenever she came here. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she frowned. “Ugh… so annoying.” Although she couldn’t show it in front of the Blackwood family, Joanna disliked Somerset, who was always showing off in front of her. He was chatty and greedy, and she hated that he was a man wrapped around his mother’s skirts. “The whole engagement must be something…
