Chapter 62 Perez bent over slightly, his body trembling. “Heh…” After clearing his throat, he made me an offer. “Why don’t you come with me? To the palace. I’ll treat you well.” That’s ridiculous. What would you even do with me when you can’t even see me? “I may not see you, but I enjoy being with you. I’m lonely… Stay with me for a while.” I rejected him without hesitation. What kind of cheap trick was this? At least you have your…-

Chapter 61 I was staring blankly out the window, wasting time, when suddenly, footsteps echoed in the hallway. The hesitant footsteps stopped and started repeatedly. Then, from around the corner, a familiar red head cautiously peeked out. “Is that Eugene?” Did he come to see Didi? But Didi is really busy right now. Since Eugene had no one to guide him, he just wandered around, looking lost. ‘Where is the servant who brought him? Why is he alone? Should I help him?’ But how…

Chapter 60 Delani spoke in a fake, caring voice, pretending to worry about Dedrick. “After Amelia passed away, he’s been struggling to stay here. If he joins the Silius family as a son-in-law, I believe he will be much happier.” She was trying to sell off a 14-year-old through marriage. “So her real plan is to get rid of Dedrick by making him a son-in-law.” If he married into the Silius family, his last name would change from Blackwood to Silius. That meant he would have no power…

Chapter 59 Dedrick was about to be held accountable, but then a distinct voice cut in from a distance. “You all know that’s nonsense, right? Calling him unlucky… Dedrick was just standing there. Lord Somerset and Lord Axel fell because of their own carelessness.” It was Ebony. Joanna glared at her, but she knew she couldn’t change Dedrick’s reputation by speaking up herself. ‘I believe you’ll do well at this banquet.’ ‘Don’t disappoint us again, Joanna.’ Her…

Chapter 43 If Good Comes, Evil Does Not; If Evil Comes, Good Does Not (1) Leaving the always bustling Lichfield Square and riding a carriage east for about 10 minutes. The city’s noise subsided at some point, and soon a completely different landscape unfolded. Commonly called ‘Maple Garden’. It wasn’t an actual garden, but a name attached to Nortaris’s emerging affluent district. Carriages and vehicles traveled over well-maintained roads without a single cracked or split brick. Beneath…-

Chapter 42 The First Secret Plan (6) In Britannia, gastronomy was merely a luxury for some eccentrics, not a matter of public interest. But when it came to alcohol, the story was different. In a harsh world without any decent entertainment, alcohol was one of the few pleasures and comforts in life, regardless of social status. The liquor tax of 15% per bottle was also a massive financial resource the royal family could never let go of, so they had immense interest in the production and distribution of…

Chapter 90 The next day. I brought the cookbook and visited the kitchen of the Deste Estate. This time, Uncle Popina, who had once been my fellow overweight companion but was now becoming the most handsome person in the village, came with me. “Uncle, why do you keep getting more and more handsome?” “My wife asks me that every morning too, while looking annoyed.” “And what do you tell her?” “I was born this way. I just neglected taking care of myself before.” “That…-

Chapter 41 The First Secret Plan (5) A commotion broke out at the Renoir household. Serena, who had vanished without a trace, had returned safely with Jurgen. “My daughter, let me hold you. Come here, are you hurt anywhere?” “Serena! Where on earth have you been!” “Are you alright, Miss? You’re not injured, are you?” The workshop team members who had scattered in all directions gathered, and even Serena’s father, Viscount Renoir, and her mother came running out barefoot. Serena’s…

Chapter 30 What Do You Take Me For? Ferda tilted his head in confusion. “What does that have to do with plotting or instigating rebellion?” “It’s because you are arming soldiers through corporate sponsorships and constructing roads connecting to the Empire. Isn’t that clearly preparation for a smooth invasion?” That logic was absurd beyond reason. Ferda responded calmly. “Improving roads serves the purpose of facilitating supply lines, trade, and securing easier support from…-
