Chapter 11 Just Wait! Norton took me to a place called “Goldrain” after I told him I wanted to explore the shopping district. “This is a new street that the Duke established when he was renovating the city. It’s currently the largest shopping area in the north. The road is decorated with gold, so everyone calls it Goldrain.” The decorative stones embedded in the road were clearly gold-colored. “There are several gold mines in the Blenheim Mountains. The leftover gold was used to coat…-

Chapter 10 A Hard to Meet Face The next day, I walked toward the training grounds with a light step. “Finally, I’m going to meet the Grand Duke.” The day before, when Norton returned to the garden: “Sir Norton, I’ve got good news. I figured out where the Grand Duke’s room is—third floor, west wing, the far end. Am I right?” “…No.” “Liar. You hesitated.” Though Norton denied it outright, his delayed reaction gave him away. He eventually confessed, under the…

Chapter 09 Exploring the Unknown Knock, knock. “…” Creak. Most of the rooms in the main castle were locked. Even in the few open rooms, there were no real signs of activity. Occasionally, I’d run into maids cleaning. “…Your Grace.” The maids who encountered me while dusting curtains or sweeping floors greeted me with reserved and reluctant expressions. It was the usual reaction toward the daughter of a marquess. How many rooms had I checked by now? Knock,…

Chapter 08 Arrival As we got closer to the destination, Perel kept insisting that I switch carriages with him. It was true that arriving for the first time as the Grand Duchess in a beat-up rented cart was a bit embarrassing, even for me. Not to mention, calling it a carriage was embarrassing—it was actually a cart meant for transporting goods. And I picked the cheapest one at that, I thought to myself. Hedrick had muttered under his breath, “That pile of wood…” as he glanced at my…

Chapter 07 Spicy Tomato Stew “Ugh, so noisy.” From early dawn, the sound of clinking dishes and people bustling around traveled down the hallway and into my room. Listening to the guests arguing about departure times as they passed by, I sat up in bed. When I went downstairs to the dining room, the knights were already eating breakfast. The first knight I made eye contact with awkwardly stood up and bowed. “Greetings to the Grand Duchess.” At his words, all the knights rose from…

Chapter 06 An Unexpected Feast “What?” The Knights, who had been focused on their meal, paused mid-bite. I thought they were too busy eating to pay attention, but apparently, they had been listening to me all along. The atmosphere at the table instantly turned icy. “I’m joking. I didn’t mean to suggest I was spying on you.” Sensing the sharp gaze of Hedrick, who was silently chewing his meat, I quickly added, “I just thought you wouldn’t stay long in the capital. Since you…

Chapter 5 The Grand Duchess’s Stubbornness “Wouldn’t it be better to just leave her at the campsite?” “Are you planning to start a war with the Marquis’ house by letting her be eaten by beasts?” As the argument among the knights grew more heated, a younger knight suddenly interrupted. “That’s too much! How could you say such things about a noblewoman?” ‘Yeah, take that, you awful knights!’ I vigorously nodded in agreement from behind the carriage where I was…

Chapter 4 I’m Leaving “Miss, surely the Marquis has arranged a date for your departure. There’s no need to rush; you can leave after preparing thoroughly.” The Marquis had already selected over ten maids and servants to send to the Duke’s estate. All of them were spies tasked with monitoring me and gathering information about the Duke’s household. Janet was likely on that list as well. ‘Even if I have to team up with them, I’ll never go with you,’ I thought. I spoke with…

Chapter 3 The 500-Denir Wedding (Part 2) A fierce snowstorm raged across the snowy mountains of Blenheim. Inside the tent, the knights’ gazes were fixed on their lord, seated at the head of the table, reading a letter. With jet-black hair, pale skin, sharp upturned eyes, and imposing stature, the Duke of Blenheim, Loic Blenheim, exuded an overwhelming presence as the ruler of the North. Suddenly, the letter in his large hand was crumpled mercilessly. “Did the marquis agree to the terms?”…

Chapter 02 The 500-Denir Wedding (Part 1) “How about holding the wedding at the temple?” At my suggestion, the Marquess raised an eyebrow. Traditionally, weddings were held at the Marquess’s estate, where the grand hall would be lavishly decorated and a banquet would follow. The cost for such an event wasn’t small. On the other hand, a temple wedding was much cheaper, as it was usually prepared by lower-ranking priests using simple artificial or paper flowers. Given the Freis family’s…
