~Chapter 53~ The phrase on the poster, “If I wash away your sins, you will be saved,” which quoted a scripture, was strangely fitting. People stopped by the store and looked at the poster, laughing a little but also impressed. “A soap that washes away sins? Haha!” “I guess dirty skin is a sin for women.” “Really? Should I buy one for my wife too?” Even middle-aged men who normally didn’t care about beauty products bought several bars, saying they’d give them to their…-

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 10 A while ago, on the day of Rodia's graduation ceremony. Hystein, who had arrived at the school long before the ceremony began, ended up witnessing an unpleasant sight. A man clinging to Rodia's side, taking pictures with her. Hystein found that man oddly irritating. He was also the man he had met during the funeral arrangements some time ago. *'Isaac Wallace, was it?'* His face and neck were flushed red, clearly showing he was flustered and shy just from standing next to…-

Chapter 09 "I think I'm going to burst." Rodia stroked her full, round belly with a satisfied expression. The cook hired for the new mansion was exceptionally skilled. It had been a truly satisfying dinner. The perfectly cooked salmon steak with its crispy skin was particularly artistic. Lying on the chaise longue, smiling contentedly, she suddenly sat bolt upright. "Come to think of it, the taste is great too." She rolled her foot on the marble-patterned deep green tiles on the…

Chapter 08 Having come to stay temporarily at the Roart mansion, Rodia had truly enjoyed herself for just over a week. She tinkered on the piano, which she remembered playing as a child, and read romance novels, which she had never read before, on her friends' recommendations. The ten or so days she spent at the Roart mansion were like a symbol of deviation for Rodia. And today, she stepped into the ivory-walled building at 26-7 Grandel Street. The thirteen-year-old building, newly…

Chapter 07 "You know that's an insult, right?" "It was a mutter." He erased Damian from his mind. "For now, I want to play until I'm sick of it. Doing nothing, just playing." "Miss Proxhate." Hystein called her name with a resolute tone and gaze. "You want to play until you're sick of it? There's a timing to life. While you're playing, others will be securing their positions and drawing the life they've designed. Can you afford to be so leisurely?" When Hystein had called…

Chapter 06 The morning after the graduation ceremony, Rodia began her day at the Roart family mansion, located at 26-1 Grandel Street, with its white exterior walls. "Wow……." Rodia, who had woken up early out of habit, was mesmerized by the garden visible through the window. The snow that had fallen overnight lay thickly, sparkling in the sunlight. Wearing a cardigan over her pajamas, she stepped out onto the terrace of her bedroom. The wind brushing past her nose was chillingly…

~Chapter 52~ “Uh, is there any way to get some more soap? I have a party in a few days, and I need my skin to improve even a little by then.” “Why?” “…Someone’s coming.” Ah! Harriet found Viviana, who was so desperate to impress the man she liked, kind of cute. Not long ago, she had been so annoying. Harriet smiled softly and took out a small package she had prepared in advance. She had known from the start that Viviana’s visit was because of the soap. “Where is the…

~Chapter 51~ Manual labor was almost like a line that separated commoners from nobles. Publicly admitting to doing such work was like confessing that you had fallen to the level of a commoner. But Harriet was not ashamed at all. “Of course it was hard. But while stirring the soap ingredients in the pot for days, I was able to reflect on God’s words. I realized my foolishness and sincerely repented.” Everyone admired her honest confession about something she might have wanted to…
