Chapter 23 But Reston must have heard words of praise hundreds of times, so he probably wouldn't feel particularly shy. As expected, I must have been mistaken. Just then, Reston said calmly. "I sent a few people to Muteso this morning. You won't have to worry about it anymore." "Thank you, Reston. I'll do my best tomorrow to look around the gallery. Check if there are any crooked spots, any peeling spots." "Good." The conversation and meal with Reston were quite pleasant. How should I…-

Chapter 22 "This woman…." Her face flushed red. She was absolutely determined to seduce Reston! No, is she crazy? She covered her face with her palm. But then again, Reston was said to have no interest in such things, so nothing must have happened so far. *Ha, seriously… Roselle….* After sinking into a sense of shame for a while, she trudged into the restaurant. "Do you have a table? I should have made a reservation." *But I didn't know where the restaurant was, so I…

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.

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…
