Chapter 53 What’s a Duchess? “We’re here!” “Auntie! Give us pudding!” The children appeared to range in age from five to nearly ten. Everyone seemed used to the sudden chaos, playfully shouting along. “Hurry up, pudding!” “Oh my, you kids!” Marie and Jacques stood up, startled. While Marie rushed to calm the kids, Jacques turned to me apologetically. “I’m sorry, Your Grace. The children often drop by for snacks at this time.” “It’s fine. No need to…-

Chapter 52 Apple Pie Recipe ‘Is he having a hard time these days?’ The Duke looked gloomy on the way to the dining hall. When I asked if he was okay, he brushed it off, saying he was just a little tired because of the diplomatic envoys. “Has he been more stressed than I thought?” I asked Cecilia, and she nodded with a knowing look. “I heard from my father. He said the Duke is trying hard to invite the delegation from Rondoris, but it hasn’t been easy.” “Why…

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…
