Chapter 8 The Northern Grand Duke’s Wife, I Can’t Do This Because It’s Too Cold “Are you really sure about this?” “Yes, Milady. Perhaps it would be better if I stepped in and gave him a proper lesson…” Mikhail and Chloe followed closely on either side of me, trying to persuade me, but I paid them no mind and continued walking with long strides. It had been almost two days. Father had been captured much sooner than I expected. ‘If I hadn’t hurried with the preparations,…- 791.5 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 7 The Northern Grand Duke’s Wife, I Can’t Do This Because It’s Too Cold I walked quickly toward the entrance of the estate with Mikhail. ‘How did that man even make it all the way here?’ Father. The very fact that a gambler who had sold off his own daughter because he had no money had somehow made it from the South all the way here was already baffling. ‘Why did he come all the way here in the first place? And how does he have the nerve to show his face?’ The old…

- Chapter 6 The Northern Grand Duke’s Wife, I Can’t Do This Because It’s Too Cold “Milady! Which necklace would you like to wear today?” “Just put on anything.” It wouldn’t be visible anyway since I’d be bundled up in my coat from head to toe. When I muttered that bitterly, Lara lowered the necklace she had been holding with a dejected expression. “Then I’ll choose the one with pink diamonds that match your eyes, Milady…” “Y-Yeah.” I told you it wouldn’t be…

- Chapter 10 At her words, Owen fell silent for a moment. He could roughly imagine what had happened. While he was busy with the overwhelming amount of work and the Emperor’s order to go to war, the butler must have insisted that, as a count, Owen needed to maintain the dignity of his position and improve the appearance of the castle. The story about the blue roses probably came up around then as well. This situation had not happened simply because the lord was careless. Regardless of…

- Chapter 9 Pesha put her quill back into the ink bottle, turned her whole body toward Philia, and pressed her for an answer. Philia replied in a hushed voice, as if the butler might still be somewhere nearby. “The butler… didn’t get his position through a proper interview. He’s a commoner.” “…” When a family was large or belonged to the higher ranks of nobility, they usually hired butlers from the lower nobility, such as second sons who could not inherit their family’s…

- Chapter 8 Pesha was walking briskly through the castle when she spotted a maid quietly cleaning the seemingly endless corridor with a bucket and a mop. She spoke to her. “Good work. I have something to order the butler about, so could you call him to my room?” “Yes, Madam.” While the maid went to fetch the butler, Pesha returned to her room. Putting aside her sense of helplessness for the moment, she began writing down the problems that needed to be dealt with first. Then came two…

- Chapter 7 Pesha woke up early the next morning. With the help of the maids, she washed her face, changed her clothes, and headed to the dining room for breakfast. The building had already been old when Owen was first granted his title. Even though it had supposedly been renovated, that fact had not changed. Cracked windows, faded still-life paintings in plain frames, and wooden stairs that had slightly sunk and creaked whenever she stepped on them were scattered throughout the castle and made her…

- Chapter 6 As if he could read Pesha’s disbelief, the butler apologized. “I’m sorry. Since the territory is rather small and poor, it’s difficult to find enough workers for the construction…” At that moment, Owen’s eyebrow twitched. Pesha had not known Owen for very long, but she could tell what part of the butler’s words had bothered him. ‘Blaming the poverty of the territory in front of its lord is practically the same as humiliating him.’ It was clearly disrespectful,…

- Chapter 5 “So getting married has made you bold, has it? How dare you look down on the House of Rydel?” “The House of Rydel abandoned me first, so I’m saying I have no interest in this family either. You don’t have to worry about me taking your place anymore, so shouldn’t you be relieved?” Pesha spoke casually as she walked past Jeremy. She had already been forbidden from leaving the house, so she did not want to keep bickering with Jeremy, get caught by her father, and bring…

- Chapter 4 “What?!” Pesha wondered if she had heard correctly. Everyone knew this was a political marriage, so did they really have to kiss when they were practically strangers? She looked around in a panic when, all of a sudden, Owen’s large hand grabbed her face. He forced her to look directly at him. His expression was still stiff and unreadable. “L-Lord…” Pesha was obviously flustered, but Owen paid no attention to her reaction and lowered his head. ‘Surely he’s not…
