      TOOCM 93 Cover
      by LOVELY BOY — Chapter 93 ‘The emperor’s shadow has moved.’ Reina was far from pleased by their appearance. The imperial unit called “Wol-yeong,” the emperor’s shadows. As the emperor’s loyal hounds, they obeyed his orders with their lives and had constantly tied Kaiden’s ankles in the past. ‘Of all days…’ With his father injured, young Duke Helio wouldn’t come to the reception hall. She had been looking forward to meeting him, so this was deflating news. Meanwhile,…

      TOOCM 92 Cover
      by LOVELY BOY — Chapter 92 Reina had resolved to corner him one day, but time slipped mercilessly by. Kaiden was constantly summoned by the emperor, and Reina herself was dragged around high society. Exhausted from mingling with new people, she fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow. Finally, the day arrived when the couple would attend an official event together. It was the final performance of an opera hosted by the Helio Foundation, followed by a reception. Reina waited in the box seat…

      TOOCM 91 Cover
      by LOVELY BOY — Chapter 91 “We… we’ve arrived.” Even as Reina touched her burning cheeks and spoke, Kaiden didn’t respond. Having returned to his seat, he buried his face in his hands and didn’t move an inch. They had arrived, so they should get out now. Normally, he would step down first and escort her. When the flustered Reina stared at him, he muttered in a voice as tiny as an ant crawling. “Go ahead first…” “Huh? What about you?” “I… don’t think I can right…

      TOOCM 90 Cover
      by LOVELY BOY — Chapter 90 Reina moved her lips with difficulty, finally speaking. “Lately, I’ve been strange. Whenever I see you, I keep feeling this weird emotion.” “…What kind of emotion?” “Just… even touching like this makes me tremble… When you’re far, I miss you; when you’re close, I suddenly get scared and want to run away. But then I want to touch you again…” Spouting contradictory words, Reina gently brushed his cheek, nose, and lips. With tears welling in her eyes,…

      TOOCM 89 Cover
      by LOVELY BOY — Chapter 89 The time to end the gathering had come. One by one, notifications arrived that carriages sent by their families had come. As everyone headed toward the carriage area together, “Reina.” Among the splendid carriages stood an even more splendid man calling her name. “Kaiden? How did you…” “I figured it would end around now, and luckily, I timed it perfectly.” He was in uniform, perhaps having come from the palace. The ornate medals adorning his uniform…

      TOOCM 88 Cover
      by LOVELY BOY — Chapter 88 ‘Has she changed into a completely different person?’ Isabel could hardly believe Reina’s transformation even with her own eyes. She had expected Reina to suffer in the harsh North. Yet here she was, exuding the effortless grace of a beloved noble lady. For a woman married to a man said to be as cold as stone and obsessed only with monsters, she looked far too happy. Then someone casually opened their mouth. “I heard the duke rented out the entire dress shop—is…

      TOOCM 87 Cover
      by LOVELY BOY — Chapter 87 “It seems she received it safely.” Isadal murmured to himself as he rose from his seat. At that moment, long strands of hair cascaded over his shoulders. His golden hair, shimmering in the moonlight, glowed with an ethereal light. The sight was almost holy—yet his eyes were too cold for an apostle. No wonder. Despite his youthful face, he carried memories of many long years. Isadal had remembered his previous life just over a year ago. While offering prayers…

      TOOCM 86 Cover
      by LOVELY BOY — Chapter 86 Kaiden’s breath hitched at Reina’s thought process. She was razor-sharp when it came to imperial politics or the North’s situation, yet when it came to him, she always got the address wrong. He wasn’t the only romance-blind one. Reina was worse—she didn’t even recognize it. “No, I—” Kaiden tried to explain slowly, but Reina was faster. “I already told Ben to move both your things and mine. So let’s sleep together.” Good lord, she moves fast. Kaiden…

      TOOCM 85 Cover
      by LOVELY BOY — Chapter 85 Rose’s blatant I don’t want to date you vibe only stoked Arteon’s competitive spirit. Developing an intense interest in a woman who showed zero interest in him? Classic male instinct, perhaps. “Whatever it is, I have no business meeting the company head on a weekend.” She extended her palm, demanding the note. “So hand it over nicely while I’m asking politely.” “What, you’ll snatch it if I don’t?” “You think I can’t?” Rose’s eyes…

      TOOCM 84 Cover
      by LOVELY BOY — Chapter 84 Watching Isabel’s bored expression, one of the young ladies spoke up. “Oh, right, I heard Young Lord Vincent stopped by a jewelry store recently. Could he be preparing a proposal?” “Well, they’ve been engaged for quite a while, so wedding talk should be coming up soon.” Kyaa! At the ensuing fuss, Isabel merely smiled and said nothing. That alone was as good as hinting that wedding preparations were underway. Last year, through Siegfried’s arrangement,…
