Chapter 5 As I listened to the aide, memories of Yvonne came back to me. Yvonne, who specialized in magic—especially fire magic—not only made explosives, but was also enthusiastic about personally burning documents and various objects. ‘Yvonne sure burned a lot of things over the years.’ I had to carry all of that past with me, too. After clearing my throat once, I calmly promised the aide, “I won’t burn anything.” “Really?” “I said I really won’t.” I…- 465.0 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 4 ‘But… judging by how horrified the aide looked, it must be an enormous amount.’ I was saddened by the fact that instead of becoming a sloth, I would once again have to turn into a squirrel running on the hamster wheel of overtime work. But I steeled myself and clenched my fists. First, I had to make a good impression on the duke, the real power in the family, if I wanted to continue living in this luxurious Argenthoz resort somehow. I was no longer a villainess, nor was I the…

- Chapter 3 “Hmm…” After spending a week lounging around in my room, I had more or less figured out how Yvonne had lived her life. Even though I couldn’t remember every single detail of the events that had happened, I had absorbed the major pieces of Yvonne’s memories. She was the youngest of one son and one daughter born to the Argenthoz Ducal Family of the Bervent Empire, and she was twenty years old this year. A remarkably talented mage. And yet, strangely enough, the one thing…

- Chapter 2 That day, just like any other, I finished working late and returned home well into the night. The moment I opened the front door, I froze. My home was a complete mess. Someone had broken in. Realizing that my house had been robbed, I panicked, thinking the burglar might still be nearby, and hurriedly fled outside. Then, the driver of a car failed to see me as I suddenly ran into the dark street and hit me. And just like that, I died a completely senseless death. And then I…

- Chapter 1 The stage was perfect. The first floor of Dailing, the most famous and luxurious café in the Empire. Since it was a place frequented by nobles, it was also the perfect place for gossip to spread. And when Duke Rudnain Eels appeared exactly as announced, everyone held their breath. Smooth black hair and deep black eyes as dark as the night sky, with a face that looked as though it had been sculpted by the gods. He was tall, broad-shouldered, and possessed a lean yet well-built…

- Chapter 3 “Enough, enough. I’d better handle it myself. Looking at it, the bed is too small anyway, so I’ll find somewhere else to sleep.” There was no way she could kick someone who was leaving for the battlefield the very next day out of the bed. Even then, he merely stared blankly at her as though she were a cow or a chicken. ‘Haah, seriously…. Is he like that because he’s young, or because he’s stupid?’ He was a husband she would have to depend on for the rest of her…

- Chapter 7 The Grand Duke, who had returned while holding Melissa precious in his arms, personally came to the storage room tucked away in a corner of the Imperial Palace where I had been dumped a few days later. Fortunately—or unfortunately—Director McGuffin happened to be away. “……You work in a place like this?” The Grand Duke cast a disdainful look toward the corner piled high with miscellaneous junk, as though he found the place utterly distasteful. It might not look like it,…

- Chapter 10 It had been more than a week since applications for the husband recruitment began, yet the line showed no sign of getting shorter. If anything, as word spread, even more people gathered. Some were even arriving by ship in a hurry from foreign countries. If I win this competition—if I become the husband of Countess Riat Pshikia—I’ll earn enough money to comfortably support not just three generations, but ten! Countless people flocked to the County with dreams like that in their…

- Chapter 9 The day after going undercover, Riat immediately began recruiting knights for her domain. When she tried to find out roughly how much an ordinary knight was paid, she simply offered what she thought would be enough to make them work hard for the territory. Within only a few hours of the announcement being posted, countless knights had applied. What was more, this all happened while Sicarius was asleep, so the moment she woke up, she was confronted with an enormous mountain of…

- Chapter 8 By the time Riat and Sicarius had finished discussing the examination criteria at the café, the sun was already beginning to set. Riat gazed absently at the sky turning red and suggested that they head back. Only then did Sicarius widen her eyes in surprise. “Sis, you’re getting this invested in the tests too. Are you actually interested in them as well?” “…If a strange person enters the Count’s residence, it will only cause unnecessary trouble. I simply want to prevent…
