Chapter 14 "Indeed, our Alosha looks truly beautiful today." "Thank you." She received the compliment somehow, but it didn't make her feel particularly good. Alosha felt she could understand the mindset of a villainess who wants to torment a female lead who's more eye-catching and prettier than herself in a romance fantasy novel. With Alexis as her escort, she arrived safely at the palace, where a masked staff member came out to greet them. "The Nocturne Count's family and their…-

Chapter 13 "And there's another reason we absolutely must attend this charity bazaar. Look at the name of the partner company here." "The Laosh Merchant Group?" "We've done business with them a few times. Their merchant group is large, and their head is quite sharp in handling affairs. If Duke Whistler truly is preparing for civil war, the only places capable of supplying the funds and goods to stop him would be the O'Claire and Laosh merchant groups. It would be good to build connections with…

Chapter 12 "By the way, what did you call me for?" "An invitation to an Imperial event arrived. It says all nobles residing in the city are required to attend." It hadn't even been a full day since she brought up the idea, yet things were moving so quickly—Emil must be quite capable. "An Imperial event, all of a sudden?" "A charity ball to help the less fortunate in the Empire, it says. For once, the Imperial Court seems to be doing something that actually considers the…

Chapter 11 "It's not stubbornness. I'm saying this because I truly believe I can do it." "Fine. Let's say I help you meet Duke Whistler somehow. The Duke is very different from me. If something irritates him, he might just slit your throat on the spot, you know?" It was frustrating that he didn't seem to consider even the possibility of her succeeding, but Alosha decided to understand the losses he could see as a merchant group head. "Alright. Then help me for just one month. If I die before that,…

Chapter 10 'That's a fair point. But still, you could have at least heard me out before deciding, right?' Emil's eyes, fixed on Alosha whose expression kept changing right in front of him, were sharp. He had made an excuse about thinking she was a con artist, but Emil had never dreamed that Alosha would actually head to the O'Claire Merchant Group. 'Better not provoke her further.' Alosha let out a short sigh and lifted her teacup. "So that means you confirmed the ring I have is real and…

Chapter 09 "So, what is it that you want?" "I thought you'd first ask about how to screw over the head of the Laosh Merchant Group."I had expected her to just suck up all the information from Alosha and then clam up, so I was slightly surprised by her unexpectedly reasonable attitude of asking me to state what I wanted. Just as I was feeling a little guilty for having prejudged her based on her appearance or whatever, the head of the O'Claire Merchant Group slapped his thigh and let out a…

Chapter 08 Alosha raised the hand with the Phoenix Ring on her middle finger toward that handsome, infuriating man who stood there with an easy shrug. “Does this help you understand what I'm talking about?” “That is—” Emil Laos let out a scoff, but the moment he recognized the ring on her finger, his eyes widened. Got him. Alosha slowly lowered her raised hand and looked down at the ring on her finger with satisfaction. “Ahem. Since you said you're tired, I'll keep this…

Chapter 07 Who was that unbelievably handsome man? “You suddenly opened my carriage door and started saying incomprehensible things. Did you hit your head in that accident?” Thinking back to the man who had spoken to her so coldly, Alosha felt strangely melancholy. The more time passed, the more vividly his face, voice, and arrogant attitude lingered in her mind. He had to be an important character... but she had no idea who he was. “If I'd known this would happen, I would've read…

Chapter 06 Alosha widened her eyes dramatically as she spoke, throwing in groans like “Oh, my aching body,” and “I’m dying here,” between sentences to establish dominance from the very beginning. “I apologize.” “Don’t you know that when a carriage turns a corner, it’s supposed to slow down? And that the driver has a duty to watch the road and protect pedestrians?” She had no idea whether such traffic laws existed in this world, but people were people everywhere. Surely…

Chapter 05 If staying with the male protagonist meant dying, then she would survive by seducing the villain who was destined to kill her. She wasn't sure whether a villain even possessed normal human emotions, but that was exactly what made it appealing. Slowly melting the heart of a cold-hearted man—that was the true charm of romance. Having decided to seduce Whistler, Alosha even went so far as to imagine marrying the Duke and naming their third great-grandchild Florence before drifting…
