Chapter 25 “Young master…” Ciel's lips parted in disbelief, but she quickly began pleading desperately. “Why? Why would you choose to stay here? This place... this place isn't worthy of you! Even now, they're still—” “But my father left me here.” At Carsian's reply, everyone froze. Latia, who had been carefully maintaining her expression. Seltron, who had been wondering whether he should stop Ciel. And even Ciel herself, who looked ready to fall to her knees and…-

Chapter 24 “Chirp?” Startled, Ppirori quickly turned to look at me. “I want to know what species Ppirori is and where it originally lives.” At my words, Ppirori narrowed its tiny, sesame-seed-like eyes in distress. Even though I had turned off the translator, I could still clearly understand what Ppirori was thinking. But I refused to back down. Instead, I looked directly at the little bird and said, “I don't want to release you again only for you to come back injured. I…

Chapter 23 The luncheon ended in a rather awkward and chaotic manner. Father excused himself to speak with Mother, and Elene returned to her room. If Father had been a truly competent businessman, he wouldn't have simply sent the heads of the Gruan Trading Company and the Yeriel General Trading Company away like this. The Gladelis Marquisate had a very refined and respectable public image. Yet a maid had not only overstepped her position and stolen from the young lady she served, but she had also…

Chapter 22 The head of the Yeriel General Trading Company was an extremely mysterious figure. Because they appeared and disappeared without warning, no one knew the merchant leader's true identity. Some people claimed they were connected to the imperial family, while others even spread rumors that they weren't human at all. That woman... is the head of the General Trading Company...? And now, that extraordinary person had appeared at the Gladelis Marquis's estate. Honestly, my original…

Chapter 21 In truth, the fact that Betty, a mere maid, openly talked back to me—the eldest daughter—was already unacceptable. But because it had become so natural and commonplace, no one ever pointed it out. What a bunch of fools. The longer the conversation between Betty and me continued, the more it exposed my actual position within the marquis's household. While Father sat there in silence, the tense battle of wills continued. Betty's expression practically said, "Look at this." I…

Chapter 20 A few days after I became the Second Manager, I heard that Elene had started studying arithmetic. "Hmph. Let her try all she wants." I laughed as I applied ointment to Susan's bruises, which had finally begun to heal. "Didn't Miss Elene lack any real talent for mathematics?" "Exactly. She's really not suited for academics." That didn't mean Elene was stupid. She was intelligent—just in a different way. Remembering what had happened before my regression, a chill suddenly…

Chapter 19 When I checked on Susan in the room, her condition was far worse than I had expected. She had been beaten more severely than I'd imagined. Betty had clearly struck her with all her strength. "Miss, I'll do it myself." "No. I'll do it. It's your back, so you can't reach it very well anyway." As I carefully applied bruise ointment to Susan's back, I explained that I had gotten it from Celtron. Pirori was incredibly intelligent. Even without any training, he carried messages back…

Chapter 18 My father had stolen the cultivation methods used by the Gruan Merchant Company and was mass-producing their medicinal herbs. However, the herbs produced by our family's business weren't even half as effective as the ones sold by the Gruan Company. Even though they were supposedly using the same herbs and the same cultivation methods, the difference in quality clearly bothered him. “What exactly makes you think there's a difference between the herbs sold by the Gruan Merchant Company…

Chapter 17 “...So?” After I had thoroughly finished off even the water Carsian had brought me, he asked, “What are you going to do now?” A little while earlier, I had finally told him that the potion Betty had discovered was something I had obtained through my own ability. I repeated several times that I hadn't stolen it. I was afraid that Carsian might start seeing me as some kind of thief. “The Marquis definitely won't believe you.” At his words, I nodded…

Chapter 16 At this point, I almost wished I'd just admitted that I was keeping Ppirori. Getting caught with Ppirori would have been far better than getting caught with the magic potion. I could always claim I'd only been caring for the bird temporarily and then say I'd released him back into the wild. But Susan... No. Stop. I forced myself to pull back from that spiral of regret. The damage was already done. There was no point in sitting here thinking, If only I'd done this... If only I'd…
