Chapter 01 When I first possessed this novel, I thought I was lucky. There were no longer any family members who tormented me, nor a grandmother who was desperate to marry me off. To be precise, it was a grandmother who was frantic to sell me off to a 45-year-old widower. So, even if they were indifferent to each other, this world where my father and mother were alive and there was no grandmother trying to marry me off was much better. Plus, my position was stable. My role was to help…-

Chapter 70 An Eye for an Eye “I don’t know exactly! They were wearing a hood, so I couldn’t see their face!” At those words, the knights exchanged uneasy glances. Did someone really order him to do it? When Loic narrowed his eyes as if telling him to go on, the man hurriedly continued. “I met them while drinking at the Wanton Tavern… maybe four days ago! I was grumbling about life over drinks when—” The man hesitated, clearly trying to choose his words carefully in front…-

Chapter 69 How to Ease the Heart There was a red line across her forehead—like a thin crack on glass. A mark left by the eggshell that scratched her skin. “It’s just a little scratch. It’ll disappear in a day or two.” As the Grand Duchess said that with a slight pout, Loic clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms. He felt a deep sense of betrayal from the people of his territory. He had spent his entire life fighting to protect them as Duke of…

Chapter 68 Healing Magic “…I’m Enolius.” Enolius? I blinked blankly. Oh—Enolius, the mage from the Grand Duke’s castle. I didn’t expect to meet him here, in this place, at this hour. “I’m casting a healing spell, so don’t move.” But he was just sitting on a chair—not doing anything that looked magical. He wasn’t reaching his hand toward me, and I couldn’t see any magic circles or light. As if reading my thoughts, the mage narrowed his…

Chapter 67 A Sudden Blow It was the same at the perfume shop we entered next. “You know how it is—if you stay on Her Highness’s good side, your business will thrive.” ‘Saying that out loud right now is probably just making things worse…’ But the baron was so eager, wiping sweat from his forehead and trying hard, that it felt awkward to stop him. “What are you waiting for? Go and assist Her Highness.” So the shopkeeper reluctantly introduced a few perfumes to me. None…

Chapter 66 Goldrain’s Invitation The news that the Grand Duke had repaired the old garden for the Grand Duchess quickly spread—even reaching Count Avoir’s household. As expected, Meisel called for Marzella. They met this time at Café Delitar, located in the center of Goldrain’s busiest district. It was to avoid being noticed by Tiern. *** “What exactly happened?” At Meisel’s sharp question, Marzella, the head maid, kept her lips tightly shut. A few days ago, almost…

Chapter 65 Instead of a Bouquet “I was surprised to see the flowers just now starting to bloom.” ‘To be honest, I’ve never even seen spring in the capital before.’ As I quickly tried to say something about spring, Countess Avoir glanced briefly at Baroness Gelfry. Even though it was just a short look, Baroness Gelfry noticed and quickly changed her attitude. I had heard that Rancart Gelfry, who was originally just the son of a wealthy merchant, was only able to become a baron and…

Chapter 64 A Tiring Meeting “Is it true that… the two of them haven’t even spent their first night together?” At Cecilia’s question, Perel’s ears turned bright red. “Well, I… I don’t really know about that…” He actually did know, but he couldn’t possibly talk about such things with an unmarried maid. Seeing his reaction, Cecilia’s expression hardened as if she had gotten her answer. “Oh my, that’s worse than I thought. Don’t tell me there’s something…

Chapter 63 A Heated Response Mr. Barnes woke up late and reached for the Northern News on his bedside table. He had bought it on his way home from work yesterday, but the pages were already wrinkled—his wife must have read it first. He opened the page that was folded more deeply than the others. ‘Cecile’s Recipe #6: Beef Stew’ “Looks like we’re having beef stew for lunch,” he muttered. Every time the Northern News came out, Cecile’s featured recipe would be served…

Chapter 62 Couple’s Night Since Leta couldn’t carry all the refreshments by herself, more maids from the Duke’s estate were called in to help. ‘What’s so funny?’ Curious, I called out to the maids. “Hey, you over there.” “Y-yes, Your Highness!” “What’s ‘Couple’s Night’?” “…!” Not only the maids, but even the nearby footmen turned bright red at my question. “U-uh…” The maid lowered her head like she had committed a crime. “Hmm?…
