Chapter 7 “What?” No way. Even if she was cast aside, she was still the Duke’s wife—no, the Grand Duchess! She must have brought a dowry. Even if she was unwanted, Bella was famous for her luxury even before marriage. The Marquis, who cared a lot about appearances, must have shown off too. “Then whose money was I shopping with?” “You either charged it to Lord Carsen’s account or wrote down the amount you wanted in the ledger and took the money.” No way. I thought…-

Chapter 6 After Leon left, I turned my gaze back to the Marchioness. “Tell me the truth. I ate that chocolate too.” “It was really hard to get that chocolate. It was delicious, wasn’t it?” “It wasn’t just regular chocolate, was it?” The Marchioness looked at me with an innocent face, as if she truly didn’t know anything. But behind that fake sweetness, I could see something sneaky in her eyes. “You’re really going to pretend you don’t know?” “I really don’t…

Chapter 5 He stood in the center of the banquet hall and suddenly began to cry out loud. People, shocked by his behavior, froze and stared at him—then screamed and stepped back. I pushed through the crowd and stood in front of him. Water had pooled at Leon’s feet. Drops were falling from the ends of his pants. “Did you pee yourself?” I blurted out in shock and quickly covered my mouth. Then I grabbed him and looked around, trying to find someone to help. The faces around us…

Chapter 4 Leon was lying on the sofa in the sitting room next to the bedroom, kicking his feet, but quickly got up when I came in. “Bella!!” He ran over to me excitedly like a puppy seeing its owner. “But…” “Here! I brought you chocolates and candy!!” “No, not that. Your hair looks like a lion’s mane now?” His face looked confused, but his eyes were sharp. “My head was itchy, so I scratched it. Maybe I have fleas?” “Ew, I hate fleas. Bella, that’s…

Chapter 3 “Not the duke’s wife, but the Grand Duke’s wife. To be exact, the Grand Duchess. Do I really have to explain this to you? Who was she again?” “Oh my, you’re so funny.” I’m not joking. I really don’t know. “Robin, can you help unload the luggage?” I learned his name from a middle-aged woman who politely greeted me. “My lady, why have you gotten so thin?” Her eyes welled up with tears. I didn’t know who she was, but seeing those tears she shed for me…

Chapter 2 “That felt kind of unpleasant.” As Leon walked holding Kalsen’s hand, he roughly shook it off after Bella (Bell-Bell) disappeared. “What’s so unpleasant?” “…It just felt weird. Like she was teasing me or something.” “Would she really do that? Honestly, this isn’t something to say about her, but isn’t she rumored to be the least intelligent person in the Empire, second only to His Highness? Even if we assume she’s a fool…” “She’s acting completely…

Chapter 01 “No, no, that’s not what you do.” I kept my mouth shut and shook my head as I pulled the snot-covered cloth from Leon’s shirt out of his mouth. Leon got annoyed and showed his teeth like he was angry. “I don’t want to! Give it back!!” “Hmph! Just behave.” I ignored his whining and wiped his nose skillfully. Then Leon rubbed his snotty hand on my dress. “Hey!!” When I spoke in a low voice, Leon’s face started to scrunch up like he was going to cry…

Chapter 23 As soon as the prince finished speaking, Hystein opened his mouth with a rigidly hardened face. "Unfortunately for His Highness the Prince, I am this young lady's guardian and legal protector. If you wish to marry her, you would need my consent, but regrettably, I have no intention of agreeing to His Highness's proposal." With Rodia behind him, his demeanor as he faced the prince was eerily quiet yet filled with rage. Overwhelmed by his momentum, the Prince of Chellda…-

Chapter 22 Hystein called her name. Rodia looked up at him. There was no hint of reproach in his emerald green eyes. "Is what His Highness the Prince said true? What happened that day?" Hystein asked, his expression showing that he didn't believe Rodia would have acted that way without reason. Rodia's eyes trembled slightly. Hystein was supporting her from behind. He was, as he had promised, becoming a place she could lean on. She swallowed once, then opened her…

Chapter 21 "That can't be." Hystein chuckled softly and stopped walking. When she heard no footsteps following behind her, Rodia also turned around. Hystein, who had been standing behind her looking at her, shrugged his shoulders. "And besides, so what if it is? If you're scared or having a hard time, running away isn't a bad thing. There's no rule that says you absolutely have to overcome every obstacle." "...Is that so?" "Yes." Hystein answered firmly and closed the distance to…
