Chapter 63 A Heated Response Mr. Barnes woke up late and reached for the Northern News on his bedside table. He had bought it on his way home from work yesterday, but the pages were already wrinkled—his wife must have read it first. He opened the page that was folded more deeply than the others. ‘Cecile’s Recipe #6: Beef Stew’ “Looks like we’re having beef stew for lunch,” he muttered. Every time the Northern News came out, Cecile’s featured recipe would be served…-

Chapter 62 Couple’s Night Since Leta couldn’t carry all the refreshments by herself, more maids from the Duke’s estate were called in to help. ‘What’s so funny?’ Curious, I called out to the maids. “Hey, you over there.” “Y-yes, Your Highness!” “What’s ‘Couple’s Night’?” “…!” Not only the maids, but even the nearby footmen turned bright red at my question. “U-uh…” The maid lowered her head like she had committed a crime. “Hmm?…

Chapter 61 Lakeside Date (2) “I told you before, he’s a rude and difficult man. Meeting him will only ruin your mood.” “But still…” I’ve never seen a wizard in my life! “I heard he’s very skilled. I’m just curious.” “He’s not that impressive,” the Duke replied with a slight pout. But under my questioning gaze, he finally admitted, “…His material transformation magic isn’t bad.” “Material transformation magic?” “It’s the ability to…

Chapter 60 Lakeside Date (1) I tried hard to keep smiling as I subtly signaled the Grand Duke with my eyes to look out the window. “…….” Seeing my awkward expression, the corners of the Grand Duke’s eyes drooped. “You must be tired right now.” Wait, why does he look so heartbroken? “I’m not tired.” But seriously—just look outside! It’s pitch dark out there. What’s the point of going to the lake if we can’t see anything? “I just thought… you might…

Chapter 59 A Chilling Gaze “Actually, I’m over the age to stay at the orphanage… but the director is letting me stay a bit longer out of kindness.” Jerome gave an awkward smile, probably because I had stared at him too long. He must’ve thought I was questioning why someone his age was still at an orphanage. “I see.” Well, I guess here, sixteen is considered old enough to debut into society. The orphanage probably couldn’t keep adults around forever. Still… to be…

Chapter 58 The Grand Duchess’s Visit That child—it was the same one whose runny nose I wiped at Marie’s inn. As the child tried to run toward me, a young man standing behind quickly grabbed him. “Artis, you have to stay still.” “No! I wanna go!” The child squirmed, trying to break free. “It’s okay. Come here.” I crouched down and gestured with my hand. The child immediately ran over and hugged me tightly. “Goddess!” “I told you, I’m not a goddess.…

Chapter 57 Advice -“I already turned it down properly, so even if the Duke receives a letter, you must not accept it, okay?” At those words, Loic looked a bit confused. -“Are you really okay with this?” -“Of course! I already have Cecilia, don’t I?” At that time, the Duchess had even warned him not to let anyone sent by the Marquis past the castle walls, even if they came without an invitation. Letters kept arriving from the capital, but thanks to the firm and clear…

Chapter 56 The Relativity of Time It all started when the Grand Duchess placed magazines around the castle—an effort to bring entertainment to the otherwise dull and quiet place for the servants. “Well, honestly, I just bought them hoping the magazines would sell well,” the Grand Duchess said with a sheepish smile. “I’m just glad everyone seems to like them.” Her cheeks turned a soft peachy color as she blushed. Though she said it so modestly, everyone in the castle knew how…

Chapter 55 The Grand Duke’s Welfare Cecilia walked in holding a stack of Northern News. “Cecilia, even if the door is open, you still need to knock.” “Oh, should I go out, knock, and come back in?” I quickly grabbed Cecilia’s arm as she tried to leave, holding the magazine. “Just give it to me.” Cecilia giggled and handed me the Northern News. I quickly flipped through it, and soon, a page with a bright and colorful recipe column appeared. “Cecilia’s Cooking…

Chapter 54 The Grand Duchess’s Generosity “How much is the debt?” The Grand Duchess’s voice echoed through the dark street, making the man blink in confusion. Unexpectedly, it had been difficult to collect from the young sisters who were repaying their father’s gambling debt. Every time someone went to collect, rough-looking men in the neighborhood would block their path. To avoid the hassle, they’d shown up earlier than usual, late at night when most men were at the…
