Chapter 15 Seeing people mock him like that, it seemed she was the only one who wanted to win the bid for Duke Whistler, but as always, one couldn't let their guard down. Interest always goes through stages—the denial period and the fox's sour grapes theory. The commonality between these two theories is that they start with "I don't really like that person" and "That person isn't my type," but end with "So that's how it is." There are dramas that survive criticism and maintain ratings despite…-

Chapter 14 "Indeed, our Alosha looks truly beautiful today." "Thank you." She received the compliment somehow, but it didn't make her feel particularly good. Alosha felt she could understand the mindset of a villainess who wants to torment a female lead who's more eye-catching and prettier than herself in a romance fantasy novel. With Alexis as her escort, she arrived safely at the palace, where a masked staff member came out to greet them. "The Nocturne Count's family and their…

Chapter 13 "And there's another reason we absolutely must attend this charity bazaar. Look at the name of the partner company here." "The Laosh Merchant Group?" "We've done business with them a few times. Their merchant group is large, and their head is quite sharp in handling affairs. If Duke Whistler truly is preparing for civil war, the only places capable of supplying the funds and goods to stop him would be the O'Claire and Laosh merchant groups. It would be good to build connections with…

Chapter 12 "By the way, what did you call me for?" "An invitation to an Imperial event arrived. It says all nobles residing in the city are required to attend." It hadn't even been a full day since she brought up the idea, yet things were moving so quickly—Emil must be quite capable. "An Imperial event, all of a sudden?" "A charity ball to help the less fortunate in the Empire, it says. For once, the Imperial Court seems to be doing something that actually considers the…

Chapter 11 "It's not stubbornness. I'm saying this because I truly believe I can do it." "Fine. Let's say I help you meet Duke Whistler somehow. The Duke is very different from me. If something irritates him, he might just slit your throat on the spot, you know?" It was frustrating that he didn't seem to consider even the possibility of her succeeding, but Alosha decided to understand the losses he could see as a merchant group head. "Alright. Then help me for just one month. If I die before that,…

Chapter 10 'That's a fair point. But still, you could have at least heard me out before deciding, right?' Emil's eyes, fixed on Alosha whose expression kept changing right in front of him, were sharp. He had made an excuse about thinking she was a con artist, but Emil had never dreamed that Alosha would actually head to the O'Claire Merchant Group. 'Better not provoke her further.' Alosha let out a short sigh and lifted her teacup. "So that means you confirmed the ring I have is real and…

Chapter 09 "So, what is it that you want?" "I thought you'd first ask about how to screw over the head of the Laosh Merchant Group."I had expected her to just suck up all the information from Alosha and then clam up, so I was slightly surprised by her unexpectedly reasonable attitude of asking me to state what I wanted. Just as I was feeling a little guilty for having prejudged her based on her appearance or whatever, the head of the O'Claire Merchant Group slapped his thigh and let out a…

Chapter 11 Alisis Fedelov, the 2nd Chancellor of Haint. She had been resting her chin on both hands, observing the face of the man right next to her for a full 15 minutes. “……Is there something on my face?” “Huh? No?” “…….” Histein felt incredibly pressured by her smiling cheerfully at him. “If you have something to say, please say it.” “Really? Can I?” “If I said no, would you not say it?” “No?” “…….” At the company, he was…-

Chapter 10 A while ago, on the day of Rodia's graduation ceremony. Hystein, who had arrived at the school long before the ceremony began, ended up witnessing an unpleasant sight. A man clinging to Rodia's side, taking pictures with her. Hystein found that man oddly irritating. He was also the man he had met during the funeral arrangements some time ago. *'Isaac Wallace, was it?'* His face and neck were flushed red, clearly showing he was flustered and shy just from standing next to…

Chapter 09 "I think I'm going to burst." Rodia stroked her full, round belly with a satisfied expression. The cook hired for the new mansion was exceptionally skilled. It had been a truly satisfying dinner. The perfectly cooked salmon steak with its crispy skin was particularly artistic. Lying on the chaise longue, smiling contentedly, she suddenly sat bolt upright. "Come to think of it, the taste is great too." She rolled her foot on the marble-patterned deep green tiles on the…
