Chapter 21 The aide initially thought Reston was joking. No matter how much, no matter how... Come to think of it, he recalled Reston's usual scope of activities. He had little interaction with friends and was a man consumed by his work. Moreover, not only had he never been in a relationship, but the aide had also never seen him show interest in that direction. He spent most of his day with him, after all... "...Regarding romance." The aide opened his mouth with a solemn heart. Perhaps…-

Chapter 20 "Huh?" So, what. Did I have something to do? I didn't agree to attend some social gathering I don't know about, did I? Not having Roseil's memories is really inconvenient in situations like this. "You said you'd buy me a meal. Something expensive." "Ah, right. Then how about dinner tomorrow?" Reston definitely deserved an expensive meal from me. Of course! I could buy him five meals if I wanted. "Then tomorrow at 7 PM. At the restaurant we used to go to…

Chapter 19 It was that evening. It had been a while since I'd been to a social gathering like this, with all the haha and hoho. I think this was the first time since that day I said, "I won't announce an engagement." After what happened yesterday, would today be okay? "Do you know what kind of gathering this is?" "Just a light dinner. You don't need to be so nervous. It's just Grandmother gathering people she likes for a meal." Wait a minute. Does that mean I've finally earned…

Chapter 18 "S-Sorry." Wow, if that had broken from bumping into it, how much would that have cost? I don't have money to pay for that. "Thank you, Lestern. I was really surprised." "Don't mention it." Lestern released me. His reflexes were really good. Now's the time for a compliment. "Lestern, you really have great reflexes. At this rate, you could be a great father! They say a dad has to be a superman. He has to be able to rescue his child immediately if they get into danger while…

Chapter 17 The next day, the weeklies, the dailies, and even the yellow press all ran articles about the Muteso incident. All those newspapers were laid out before the Count of Loterua. [The Muteso Turmoil: Was Loterua Behind It All? Until now, the Loterua Earldom and the Muteso Viscountcy have been engaging in inexcusable acts, pushing the residents of Muteso into despair.

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 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 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…
