Chapter 16 What had been in those eyes looking at me was actually resentment. After my mother and father passed away, he turned his arrows of resentment toward me. *'You killed them. You killed my daughter-in-law and my son... you killed them. You should have died too! Then I could have at least forgotten!'* So I couldn't bring myself to completely hate him. "But it seems my words aren't being heard. I've gone to Viscount Muteso several times, but I've only been given orders to comply…-

Chapter 15 "My man? You mean Reston?" "Yes! You two look so good together. My mother said it looks like you two will be getting married soon!" "Oh my, my mother said you've already set a wedding date!" "Goodness. I must be the last to know." No, it's not that I'm the last to know—there's no such thing! I quickly opened my mouth, which had been clamped shut like a clam. "There's no such thing! Reston and I are just friends, absolutely nothing more than that. Marriage... really,…

Chapter 7 “So Cute I Could Die” Although we were slightly delayed due to an unexpected accident, Ascan, Noxia, and I rode together in a carriage toward the most famous boutique in the capital. Perhaps because we had contacted them in advance, as soon as we arrived, the staff lined up at the entrance, forming a welcoming procession. It was a display of grandeur that left no doubt about the Brellov family’s influence. Reading the novel, I already knew it, but seeing it in person made me realize just…-

Chapter 14 Muteso was already bustling with the young ladies who had followed the noblewomen. “……Why are there so many people gathered here?” By now, shouldn't they be gathered at dress shops, salons, or maybe coffeehouses, or galleries, laughing and chatting about how pretty your dress is, how pretty my necklace is, how much money your man has, how high-status my man is? It looked like all the people from the capital had flocked here. The desolate and barren space was now dyed…

Chapter 13 "There are various things. He really dislikes children. He absolutely abhors them. And he doesn't speak kindly to them either. Since ancient times, they say you should never associate with someone who is mean to children... but then his actions contradict that. I heard he went straight into that chaos himself to keep a promise he made to a child. Ah, it was a dangerous situation." The sight of Reston digging through the collapsed rubble to find and pull out the missing person was…

Chapter 6 The Walking Time Bomb Askan woke up at dawn, as he always did. When he opened his eyes, he saw the room shrouded in darkness, the lights still off, and there was no sound around him. Wiping his forehead, he realized something flowing—sweat. Only then did he notice that his entire body was drenched in cold sweat. There was only one reason he couldn’t sleep well: ever since escaping the laboratory, he had been having the same dream every night. A dream where, no matter where he hid, the lab…

Chapter 5 Like Misaligned Gears I tried to view the current situation as rationally as possible. At first, I thought in a one-dimensional way: Askan would eventually kill me, so maybe I could avoid that ending by keeping him pleased. But I had already done far too many unforgivable things to him, and trusting someone’s feelings in such a volatile situation seemed foolish. My life was mine to protect—I couldn’t hand the hilt of the knife to anyone else. After staying up several nights, thinking it…

Chapter 4 Let’s Be Happy Together On the surface, my day went according to schedule. Today was the day I resumed my studies after taking a short break due to the horseback riding accident. My tutor, who had come to teach me, was Martella—a woman in her mid-to-late forties with a kind and comforting appearance. While Martella chattered away enthusiastically, my mind was completely occupied with other thoughts. “What would happen if I left the story entirely?” If I ran away somewhere far where no…

Chapter 12 "What? You don't have to do that. That's a hassle. It's not reasonable either." I refused flatly. Ugh, we're not even dating. Coming to get me today was already overkill. "It's Grandmother's command. It's less of a hassle for me to come pick you up, so that's more reasonable." That's…… well, that could be true. Everyone has different things they find bothersome. Besides, since I need to stay close with Dowager Duchess Yurasel, it wouldn't hurt to follow her wishes. "You…

Chapter 11 What's the point of struggling desperately to cultivate a peaceful future? The family is already out there scattering ashes everywhere! *'I thought I possessed a good family, but I was wrong!!'* I needed to find out what exactly they had been hiding. This was no time to be casually asking Lindberg for 'good ways to compliment men.' I needed to commission him to find out what Roteroa was hiding, and about the Dowager's grudges. *'As soon as I get back—no, it's a bit late today.…
