Chapter 51 Foxy Tricks A woman had entered the Grand Duke’s castle—a place traditionally forbidden to women—and now all the men were acting like they’d lost their minds. The maid giving cues to the Grand Duchess from behind seemed to be the second daughter of Territo, just like Meisel had said. Tiern glared fiercely at the maid, who quickly looked away, but the Grand Duchess simply looked back at him calmly. ‘So she’s the infamous villainess from the capital? She sure has…-

Chapter 50 The Lord’s Intent “I was just admiring the Duke’s outfit because it’s so stylish.” “The outfit… you saw it this morning, didn’t you?” At those words, the Duke shyly brushed his hair back. “It looks even better when seen from the outside.” The Duke was wearing a high-neck shirt with gold buttons and a double-button vest, which was one of the top 10 idol outfits I had picked out from watching many fan-cams. ‘You’re my spring!’ I almost started gushing…

Chapter 49 Do Whatever You Want “Cecilia, a Grand Duchess’s maid should have some decorum. Why are you opening your mouth like that?” “Oh my, I think it’s less open than your Highness’s.” “Ugh.” I cleared my throat and closed my mouth. In just a week, we had become much closer and were now casually exchanging jokes. As I had admitted during our private conversation, Cecilia wasn’t particularly modest for a maid. At first, I thought she’d be more reserved,…

Chapter 48 Deep Grudge Clop, clop. As the sun began to set, the sound of a knight’s horse echoed in the garden as it headed toward the castle. Servants walking by blushed as they saw the owner of the golden hair, glittering in the sunset. It was Tiern Bierri, the captain of the 9th Knight Brigade, known for his cold demeanor as much as for his good looks. The 9th Brigade was a special task force that carried out important missions separate from the regular knights, and Tiern had just…

Chapter 47 Tea Time (2) “The Northern News!” The Grand Duchess’s voice suddenly rose. “I’ve read it before!” “You, Your Grace?” “I really enjoyed the article about the capital’s fashion trends.” Her face flushed with surprise. “T-that was written by me!” The Grand Duchess seemed genuinely curious about how a young noblewoman from a baron’s house ended up writing articles. Cecilia honestly explained that she had wanted to work, so she asked a distant…

Chapter 46 Tea Time (1) When Cecilia saw the other girls glance over at Meisel, she scoffed inwardly. ‘Looks like Meisel is up to her tricks again.’ It was almost as if the girls had been ordered not to speak until Meisel said something first. Among girls their age, Meisel was practically royalty in the social scene. No matter how high-ranking the duchess was, she had no ties to the North. To these girls, Meisel—who could ruin their social prospects right away—was the scarier…

Chapter 45 Advice from the Knights: Loic suddenly stopped walking. “Right? Don’t you think so?” Demiche gestured to the other knights behind him. “Y-yes, I think so.” “What’s different about him?” “Did he get a haircut?” The knights whispered from behind, unsure but curious. Loic cleared his throat awkwardly. “There’s definitely something different about him today.” Then, Leon, who was standing in the back, raised his voice. “I think it’s his…

Chapter 44 News from the North “Mmm, this is really good.” I savored the flavorful chicken leg meat inside the busy restaurant. The reaction to the picture menu was much bigger than I expected. I thought it might be popular, but hearing that the restaurant had been packed at lunchtime just two days after putting up the menu board made it impossible for me to stay still. So I dragged Norton out with me on a secret visit. I even asked Leta to get me some plain clothes, and when I…

Chapter 43 A Delicious Picture Milo and his wife were passing through Goldrain. They were on their way back home after selling the wool they had gathered over the winter. “How about we stop to eat?” Milo asked his wife. They had left early in the morning, but it had taken longer than expected to negotiate prices. If they had gone straight home now, they would have missed mealtime completely. “I am feeling a bit hungry,” His wife replied, glancing around with a hesitant…

Chapter 42 The Outsourced Job ‘So that’s the kind of expression he makes when it’s just the two of them.’ Perel observed his lord leaning in close to the duchess in a manner he had never seen before, clumsily fitting his bulky frame into a tiny chair. “Sir Perel!” The duchess spotted him and waved with a smile. At her words, the Duke, Loic, slowly turned his head toward Perel with an expressionless look only Perel could read, muttering under his breath: “You’re back…
