Chapter 79 The doorknob turned, and just as I hurriedly stepped away, Dedrick added in a cold voice. “Let me make this clear. Stop sending me letters. It’s uncomfortable and burdensome.” “B-but, Dedrick! I’m Ebony Silius!” “I know.” “W-wait… weren’t my letters being blocked by the Grand Duchess? She was the one who opposed our engagement…” Ah, the engagement. There’s a bit of a story behind that. When Delani tried to send Dedrick to the Silius family as a…-

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 23 Emily, who had come early without notice, didn't say a word until the steam rising from the teacup on the table had completely dissipated. Feeling suffocated by the silence, Alosha let out a short sigh and decided to speak first. "So, what urgent matter brings you here so abruptly without any word beforehand?" At Alosha's grumbling tone, Emily smiled gently and set down her teacup. "I'm hurt. Do we really need separate notice between us?" When a handsome man deliberately acts…

Chapter 80 Late at night, Gemma quietly entered Delani’s room. She gently woke her up. “Madam, the investigation is complete.” Delani immediately sat up. Gemma wrapped a shawl around her shoulders, and the two headed to the living room. “Come in.” At Gemma’s command, a man hesitantly entered. “Madam, Luan was also attacked by something invisible, just like Somerset and Axel.” “Are you sure?” At Gemma’s signal, Luan spoke nervously. “I—I don’t remember…

Chapter 24 Startled by the horde of dark-clad men rushing toward her, Alosha felt a terror that she would be killed on the spot if caught. Forgetting the pain, she sprang up and began to run. The hopeful circuit that she might not be caught because of her small stature if she could just get over the high wall had long since burned out. In any media, when you're running away like this, you're bound to collide with someone around a corner. Just like right now. "Kyaa!" Falling forward, Alosha…

~Chapter 31~ “You’ve had a bit too much to drink, Sir Julian.” A large shadow fell between Harriet and Julian. Julian, who had been frowning with irritation, looked surprised the moment he saw the person. “D-Duke Kailas…!” Even in his drunken state, he recognized the man right away—so maybe he wasn’t as drunk as he seemed. Both Harriet and Julian froze as Cedric slowly stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Julian. “Is something the matter? You were raising your voice,…-

~Chapter 32~ “If you go that way, the butler will serve you the drink you want himself.” “Thanks for letting me know.” Cedric gave a small nod to his acquaintances and left his seat. His friends, having overheard his conversation with the servant, understood why he was stepping away and waved him off casually. Cedric headed toward the terrace at ease. He hadn’t expected—nor intended—to run into Julian Fraith, drunk enough that his cheeks were flushed, nor to overhear his…

~Chapter 33~ “Some people say I was heartless for cutting off her guardianship while she was in the convent, but think about it—how could I possibly live with Harriet and keep supporting her? Just imagining the chaos she’d cause… whew, it makes me sigh.” Trisha sipped her tea quietly, not offering much of a response. John, somewhat relieved that she wasn’t firing back sharply, put on a serious expression. “Why do you think Harriet suddenly clung to an aunt she hadn’t contacted…

~Chapter 54~ “Really? She thinks of the other person first? That’s surprising. Did she really come out of the monastery a changed person?” “I’m not sure exactly, but she definitely seems extremely careful about getting involved with men.” “She was hurt by love and even got cast out by her family… Oh! That was a slip of the tongue! Haha!” Bella was horrified that people were starting to feel sorry for Harriet. She had worked so hard to make Harriet seem like a pitiful, ugly…

~Chapter 34~ “But Uncle, you knew. You knew I believed you. You knew I had no one else to trust but you!” He had known, and yet he betrayed that desperate trust in the cruelest, most mocking way. “And now you’re here talking about trust like it’s something you care about? That’s just funny to me. If you hurt others so easily, you should be ready to be hurt in return.” “So you’re saying you’re planning to ruin Bella’s engagement, is that it?” “I never said that. But…
