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*…

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…
