9. In Front of the Fountain (2) “Hey, Miss Bella. You must not understand the situation yet since you just got out of prison, but you should be grateful that I’m even talking to you. With the House of Kailas watching, who would dare meet you?” Hearing the name “House of Kailas” again after so long, even Bella’s forced smile disappeared. “Did Harriet… that woman… tell people to avoid me?” “The Duchess doesn’t seem interested in you, but everyone knows you’re her…-

8. In Front of the Fountain (1) When March arrived, the ducal garden began to wake up. Fresh light-green sprouts seemed to sing of spring, bringing life back to places that had looked lonely just a short while ago. The fountain in the back garden also started operating in March, and it was a place Harriet and Rainier especially loved. “Mom! Look at that!” Rainier, who had been begging since morning to go see the fountain, jumped up and down while pointing at the water flowing like a…

7. After a Long Wait The Kingdom of Firma invaded the border once again. On the surface, they pretended to faithfully pay war reparations, but behind the scenes, they had been secretly planning to seize the Kiphren region. “It’s a bit later than expected, but still within the predicted range.” After hearing the war report, Cedric simply nodded calmly, without any change in expression.

6. That Summer Rainier Kailas. That was the name of Harriet and Cedric’s first daughter. Born in the summer of the year after their marriage, Rainier looked exactly like Cedric, as if declaring from birth that she was the eldest daughter and heir of the House of Kailas. “I’ve never seen a newborn with so much hair. I was really surprised when I first saw her.” Harriet murmured softly as she gently played with the soft hair of the baby sleeping in her arms after feeding. Now…

5. Roxana’s Marriage (2) “While I was away in Candia, I heard something serious happened. Are you alright?” As soon as they met, he checked Roxana carefully for injuries. “It wasn’t a big deal. More importantly, I heard you’d be staying there longer, but you came back earlier than expected.” “Not a big deal? You almost died!” He didn’t even seem to hear what she said after that. Realizing he was genuinely worried about her made Roxana feel strangely pleased. “I…

4. Roxana’s Marriage (1) Roxana suddenly announced her marriage plans only four months after Harriet and Cedric’s wedding. It was completely unexpected. There had been no signs at all. Even Harriet, and Cedric as well, couldn’t hide their shock. Harriet immediately rushed to the Pellon estate. *** “Aunt!” “You came as soon as you heard?” “Of course I did! Is this… some kind of event or joke?” Harriet asked in disbelief, and Roxana smirked…

3. The First Night After their wedding, Harriet and Cedric went on their honeymoon to Uliden, a place famous as a resort destination. For Harriet, it was the first time in her life seeing the ocean. “Wow…!” On the way to the private beach right after unpacking, Harriet couldn’t say anything except gasp in amazement as she looked at the horizon outside the carriage window. It was completely different from a lake. There were no green trees wrapping around it, no swans or ducks…

2. Adam Hoffner’s Regret Adam, the second son of Baron Hoffner’s family, was a man with decent looks and a respectable background. Even by the harsh standards of the marriage market, he would easily score above average. But despite being twenty-seven years old, he had never proposed marriage to anyone, nor had anyone proposed to him. Until recently, everyone knew the reason. It was because of Bella Listerwell, the “Golden Rose of Genoa” and the first love of many men in high…

1. Edgar’s Spring Day About a month and a half before Cedric and Harriet’s wedding, Edgar’s father, Count Dawson, came to visit under the excuse of discussing business. They did meet occasionally for work, but that day felt different. The fact that he kept repeating a business discussion that had already been finished made it obvious. Cedric responded politely at first, but once the conversation dragged past twenty minutes, he cut him off. “ I think we’ve exchanged enough…

Chapter 200 “Um… your name… I mean, how should we address you?” “Oh! How rude of me not to introduce myself first. My apologies. My name is Henry Jensen. I work as a footman for the House of Kailas.” “Ah, yes. Thank you, Mr. Jensen.” “Please feel free to call me Henry. If you’ll excuse me.” He smiled, then moved to stand near a pillar where he could be seen just by turning one’s head. Emma kept sneaking glances at him when Agnes, who had been watching quietly…
