Chapter 03 The fatigue from last night hit me. Thanks to spending hours dealing with people while keeping my shoulders stiff and tense, my whole body ached. Rozelle was quite well-connected in high society. The young ladies of her age admired and loved Rozelle. Actually, Rozelle was also exceptionally good-looking, so she naturally drew people to her. It seemed the female lead adapted quickly because Rozelle, who was practically the queen bee of high society, accepted her. Dealing with…-

Chapter 02 So this is what a male lead's birthday is like. It was splendid, splendid, and more splendid. Plus, there were rows of vintage, romantic carriages lined up, the kind you'd only ever see in movies. I was one of them. I gave appropriate responses to my parents, who were chattering on about the romantic engagement announcement that was supposed to happen today, and stepped down from the carriage. The hall was crowded with people. The orchestra was playing music, people were…

Chapter 01 When I first possessed this novel, I thought I was lucky. There were no longer any family members who tormented me, nor a grandmother who was desperate to marry me off. To be precise, it was a grandmother who was frantic to sell me off to a 45-year-old widower. So, even if they were indifferent to each other, this world where my father and mother were alive and there was no grandmother trying to marry me off was much better. Plus, my position was stable. My role was to help…

Chapter 70 An Eye for an Eye “I don’t know exactly! They were wearing a hood, so I couldn’t see their face!” At those words, the knights exchanged uneasy glances. Did someone really order him to do it? When Loic narrowed his eyes as if telling him to go on, the man hurriedly continued. “I met them while drinking at the Wanton Tavern… maybe four days ago! I was grumbling about life over drinks when—” The man hesitated, clearly trying to choose his words carefully in front…-

Chapter 69 How to Ease the Heart There was a red line across her forehead—like a thin crack on glass. A mark left by the eggshell that scratched her skin. “It’s just a little scratch. It’ll disappear in a day or two.” As the Grand Duchess said that with a slight pout, Loic clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms. He felt a deep sense of betrayal from the people of his territory. He had spent his entire life fighting to protect them as Duke of…

Chapter 68 Healing Magic “…I’m Enolius.” Enolius? I blinked blankly. Oh—Enolius, the mage from the Grand Duke’s castle. I didn’t expect to meet him here, in this place, at this hour. “I’m casting a healing spell, so don’t move.” But he was just sitting on a chair—not doing anything that looked magical. He wasn’t reaching his hand toward me, and I couldn’t see any magic circles or light. As if reading my thoughts, the mage narrowed his…

Chapter 67 A Sudden Blow It was the same at the perfume shop we entered next. “You know how it is—if you stay on Her Highness’s good side, your business will thrive.” ‘Saying that out loud right now is probably just making things worse…’ But the baron was so eager, wiping sweat from his forehead and trying hard, that it felt awkward to stop him. “What are you waiting for? Go and assist Her Highness.” So the shopkeeper reluctantly introduced a few perfumes to me. None…

Chapter 66 Goldrain’s Invitation The news that the Grand Duke had repaired the old garden for the Grand Duchess quickly spread—even reaching Count Avoir’s household. As expected, Meisel called for Marzella. They met this time at Café Delitar, located in the center of Goldrain’s busiest district. It was to avoid being noticed by Tiern. *** “What exactly happened?” At Meisel’s sharp question, Marzella, the head maid, kept her lips tightly shut. A few days ago, almost…

Chapter 65 Instead of a Bouquet “I was surprised to see the flowers just now starting to bloom.” ‘To be honest, I’ve never even seen spring in the capital before.’ As I quickly tried to say something about spring, Countess Avoir glanced briefly at Baroness Gelfry. Even though it was just a short look, Baroness Gelfry noticed and quickly changed her attitude. I had heard that Rancart Gelfry, who was originally just the son of a wealthy merchant, was only able to become a baron and…

Chapter 64 A Tiring Meeting “Is it true that… the two of them haven’t even spent their first night together?” At Cecilia’s question, Perel’s ears turned bright red. “Well, I… I don’t really know about that…” He actually did know, but he couldn’t possibly talk about such things with an unmarried maid. Seeing his reaction, Cecilia’s expression hardened as if she had gotten her answer. “Oh my, that’s worse than I thought. Don’t tell me there’s something…
