Chapter 11 Cute “Miranda, I’ll have you take charge of the Grand Duchess’s protection. Fog comes with me. Ah, there’s something I should tell you. I understand that the Grand Duchess is so beautiful that it can’t be helped, but even if she is a woman, if any of you so much as set your sights on her carelessly, I’ll kill you.” “……” Amid the Fog members whispering among themselves, ‘He really is crazy,’ Dale, their leader, the head butler of the Grand Duke’s castle,…-

Chapter 10 Please Think Well of Me It felt as though she were having a conversation with a foreigner. She had clearly refused him, yet his response had been that they should go to bed. “No, ah!” Her vision suddenly spun. When she came to her senses, she was already being held in the Grand Duke's strong arms. Wearing the face of the happiest newlywed groom in the world, he left a light kiss on her pale, rounded forehead, as though a flower petal had gently settled…

Chapter 09 What a Flippant Man “Your first ki—what? ……Don’t, don’t lie to me.” He looked to be two or three years older than her at most. And yet he had never even been in a relationship? Judging by his appearance and the way he behaved, it would hardly be surprising if he had several courtesans hanging off him at once. And yet he claimed it had been his first kiss. Then what on earth had that intense use of his tongue during the wedding ceremony been? ‘Come to think of it,…

Chapter 08 Take Responsibility The seal of the Sinclair merchant company’s owner was stamped right beside the Emperor’s seal. With things like this, it was ambiguous whether the “eldest daughter of House Sinclair” referred to Florence or Marianne. ‘This is a problem.’ The overall head of the Sinclair merchant company was her father and head of the family, Count Niels, but he was already overwhelmed just managing the company’s main branch in the capital. Naturally, he had neither…

Chapter 06 Black Antler Several years ago, Edelston had engaged in a dangerous tug-of-war with the Emperor over the position of Grand Duke. At the time, Imperial authority was such a complete mess that bribing the Emperor’s guards could be done for a pittance, and he had been able to arrange a secret meeting with the Emperor without much difficulty. ‘The bastard of some prostitute who doesn’t even know who his father is wants what? The position of Grand Duke? They say he’s the king of the…

Chapter 05 The Comfortable Spider’s Web ‘So comfortable…’ Her entire body felt languid, as though it were melting away. Florence was wandering along the boundary between sleep and consciousness, wrapped in something warm, soft, and yet firm. It was so cozy and warm that she felt as though nothing could threaten her as long as she stayed here. A thick, low voice, as though coming from somewhere deep and distant like a dream or illusion, gradually became clearer as it mixed with…

Chapter 04 From Bridesmaid to Bride While the High Priest's proclamation echoed distantly in her ears, Florence frantically shifted her gaze around. That was when she caught sight of the guests attending the wedding. The seats on either side of the altar were occupied by archpriests from famous temples throughout the Empire, all dressed in ceremonial robes and wearing solemn expressions. In the VIP section sat Princess Miel, the Emperor's younger sister, along with her husband and their two young…

Chapter 03 The Man Called the Black Hound Florence vividly remembered the day she first saw the Grand Duke in question. “Grand Duke Edelston Kylan Ricardo is entering!” The moment Florence had finished getting her satisfaction from making Clark and Lady Paradi applaud the new couple and turned away, the Grand Duke Edelston had appeared with the announcement of a chamberlain. And he looked as though he had just come straight from a battlefield. As if to prove his notorious reputation as…

Chapter 02 A Situation Where There Is No Choice Florence knew exactly how this situation was going to come back to haunt her. The way I kept my expression composed while hiding how rotten I felt inside at the ball will all be for nothing, and I'll be forever remembered as some crazy woman who stole the bride's wedding dress and put it on herself. Then she imagined Clark laughing and snickering with Lady Paradi as they read a newspaper article about her humiliation, and any thought of honestly…
