Chapter 33 Today’s Special “…We’re really married.” “Huh?” “We’re truly married.” “…….” “We’re not a fake couple, are we?” The Grand Duke muttered in a low voice, just loud enough for me to hear. “The marriage contract is officially recognized by the temple.” “Ah… Right. The paperwork is real.” We had just agreed to end the marriage within a year, that’s all. Why is he adapting so fast? Not long ago, he was so serious about not…-

Chapter 32 A Bittersweet Feeling “You’ll find it troublesome.” Honestly, though, this side of him was kind of cute too… I blew a puff of air at my bangs, making a show of it, and said, “Your Grace, it’s not like I’m suggesting we should share a room. Why do you keep blushing like that?” At the word share a room, the Grand Duke’s neck turned bright red. “D-don’t say things like that…” As he mumbled under his breath, I stepped in closer. “You don’t like…

Chapter 31 The Man Who Catches Attention “I heard you calling for Leon earlier. Was there something you needed?” “Oh, it was nothing important.” I tried to brush it off, thinking the conversation might drag on, but the Grand Duke’s gaze remained fixed on me. His eyes clearly demanded to hear the rest of the story. ‘Well, it makes sense for him to be curious about why I called his knight so late at night.’ In the end, I told him about the tomato stew recipe. As his suspicion…

Chapter 30 A Midnight Invitation “The Grand Duchess called for Leon? For what reason?” The air grew cold as the Grand Duke’s voice sank. Both Leon and Perel flinched, but Whitley remained calm as he replied. “She did not specify the reason.” “She only called for Leon?” ‘What about me?’ “That’s correct.” Reading Loic’s thoughts, Whitley gave a firm and almost cold response. “Then… should I go with the head Butler?” Leon hesitated, glancing at Loic,…

Chapter 29 A Surprise Gift (2) “Perel,” Loic said in a low voice. “You’ve become quite bold since the Grand Duchess arrived.” “…I will correct myself,” Perel responded. “I was just wondering if she got her clothes fitted properly today,” Loic added. “Huh? Do you mean Coutere? Did you really call them?” Perel, who was usually efficient and precise, had been making comments lately that made Loic clench his jaw. He had been the one pushing Loic to do this, and now…

Chapter 28 A Surprise Gift (1) ‘I don’t have to buy everything they brought, right?’ The jewels on each dress were obviously real, and judging by the luxurious fabric, the raw materials alone must have been expensive. ‘Wait, since the Grand Duke called Madame here, is he the one paying? Or is it coming from my personal funds?’ A cold sweat suddenly ran down my back. ‘I’m the Grand Duchess, yet I can’t even ask how much the dresses cost.’ “Your Highness, would you like…

Chapter 27 Getting the Recipe “I-I’m sorry, Your Grace! I thought the room was empty!” The maid had entered, carrying a tray with a water jug and cups. “Leave it and go.” “Y-yes!” Startled by his cold tone, the maid quickly placed the tray on the bedside table and rushed out. After all the effort he had put into scolding the Grand Duchess about not visiting him at night… And now, he had been caught watching her sleep. How pathetic. At least the maid had seen them…

Chapter 26 The Effects of an All-Nighter As soon as I returned to the castle, I asked Perel for a list of the knights’ names. Since I had already decided to put in effort, I thought it would be best to write the name cards myself. Even if the gifts were all the same, receiving one with your own name on it would feel more special. If I call out their names while handing out the gifts, it’ll make a stronger impression too. Looking back now, it was an incredibly reckless decision. Writing…

Chapter 25 Meeting the Knights (2) “It’s nice to meet you.” The Grand Duchess smiled warmly as she handed out small packages. “It’s an honor to meet you.” With his face flushed red, Theor bent his knee slightly, accepted the package, and stepped back. “Sir Hassel.” “Yes! Your Highness!” At the call of his name, the knight Hassel quickly stepped forward. Meanwhile, Loic used his tall height to sneak a peek into the basket. Each neatly wrapped package had a…

Chapter 24 Meeting the Knights (1) “Ninety-nine… handkerchiefs?” “Yes, I’ll be formally meeting the knights tomorrow, and I’d like to give them a gift.” Everyone around was stunned. While Leon and Norton seemed touched, the tailor shop staff looked more like they were in shock. Madam’s expression became troubled. “In just one day… that might be difficult.” I knew it. Making that many by hand in such a short time was unrealistic. “But a handkerchief is the most…
