Chapter 25 "By the way, how long were you in this gloomy prison?" "No answer again." "Chun-Sam, if you don't answer me from now on every time I speak, I really won't just sit still." "...What if you don't?" "I'll call the guard. And I'll tell them that the person next to me is my husband, so please put us in the same cell." "What?" While he was too flustered to speak, Alosha began to elaborate on the story she had just blurted out. "Our wedding was held quietly in a small chapel…-

Chapter 24 Startled by the horde of dark-clad men rushing toward her, Alosha felt a terror that she would be killed on the spot if caught. Forgetting the pain, she sprang up and began to run. The hopeful circuit that she might not be caught because of her small stature if she could just get over the high wall had long since burned out. In any media, when you're running away like this, you're bound to collide with someone around a corner. Just like right now. "Kyaa!" Falling forward, Alosha…

Chapter 23 Emily, who had come early without notice, didn't say a word until the steam rising from the teacup on the table had completely dissipated. Feeling suffocated by the silence, Alosha let out a short sigh and decided to speak first. "So, what urgent matter brings you here so abruptly without any word beforehand?" At Alosha's grumbling tone, Emily smiled gently and set down her teacup. "I'm hurt. Do we really need separate notice between us?" When a handsome man deliberately acts…

Chapter 22 "So, what was your purpose in approaching me?" "I already told you. I said I would follow the divine revelation to teach you, Duke, the human emotion called love." "Love? You've been saying amusing things since earlier. Do you really think I need such a feeling?" "...Probably not." "Then who do you think the world will believe—your words, or mine, the Duke's?" "Naturally, they'd believe the Duke's words." At Alosha's answer, given without a moment's hesitation,…

Chapter 21 "She knows about that ring?" "I'm not sure if it's true, but she didn't seem to be lying." A noble lady had barged into a trading company and offered to trade information. And of all places, she had come to the one he operated in secret? It could be dismissed as coincidence, but what the lady had said to him was definitely bothering him. *'Could she really have received a revelation from the god Saeyibi?'* Recalling Alosha, who had never averted her eyes even while fearing…

Chapter 20 "Alosha! Are you alright?" As Alosha turned her head, Dane and Alex, both wearing worried expressions, and Emil, beaming with a smile, entered the room. "We came as soon as we heard you collapsed." "I'm sorry. You both should have received the winning bids, but circumstances arose…" "Don't worry about that." "Yes, for now, just focus on recovering your health." Whether this was luck or misfortune, her desperate acting had given her a reason for not being able to secure…

Chapter 19 Watching Alosha's desperate acting, Duke Whistler let out a scoff. He rose from his seat, drew his sword, and pointed it at Alosha. “……You seemed to recognize me right up until you passed out, but now you can't remember after waking up?” “Wh-what are you talking about? I really don't… Could you please put the sword away first and let's talk things over?” “Since you say you can't remember, I'll tell you. You are a spy from a neighboring kingdom. When I caught wind…

Chapter 18 "Are you... Duke Whistler?" The host cautiously asked the man, who looked like he'd never even held a kitchen knife, let alone a sword—a man who didn't seem to be 188cm, nor even 180cm for that matter. "I apologize. Duke Whistler was delayed due to a busy schedule. I am Crawler, the Duke's proxy." "Pardon? But the participant themselves must be present for this auction..." "Please don't worry too much. He said he would attend before the event ends, so please continue with…

Chapter 17 "So you're telling me to come directly to the Imperial Knights if I have business?" At Whistler's icy voice, Baron Arwen broke out in a cold sweat, visibly nervous. "O-of course, this is a matter that Lord Evron should handle in person, but they're invoking Imperial regulations..." "If you don't want to provide troops, it wouldn't be a bad idea to just let the neighboring barbarians invade and kill everyone." If these fools, who didn't even know the basics of warfare, were…

Chapter 16 Alosha threw her high heels down to the first floor, then, with the spirit of a high school girl sneaking over the school fence to get to a snack bar, she slipped her body over the terrace railing. "Just don't fall to your death." Taking a deep breath, Alosha began to move sideways, one careful step at a time. The fluttering of her dress in the occasional breeze was unsettling, but fortunately, she was about halfway there when—with perfect, infuriating timing—a loud *whoosh*…
