Chapter 35 When she opened her eyes, the ceiling was familiar. Reina groaned from the stinging pain and sat up. She vaguely remembered Kaiden rescuing her. At some point, she must’ve fainted, and now she was in her bedroom. As Reina stirred, Lily, who had dozed off beside her, jolted awake. “Your Grace! Are you alright?” “What happened?” “You were chased by snowfoxes, and His Grace saved you. You’ve been out for a full day.” “I see.” “You must’ve been so scared. You’re…- 1.2 M • Completed
- Chapter 34 Clop clop! Reina kept riding. Stopping would make her prey for the snowfoxes. Her body was already covered in scratches and bite marks. The scent of blood made the snowfoxes even more ferocious. Stroking her exhausted horse, Reina muttered, “Please hold on.” If only until the next refuge. She fired flares at every turn to signal her location and await rescue. Only a few flares remained. In her haste, she’d long left the safety zone. The smell of blood could attract other…

- Chapter 33 “Alright.” Dahlia caught her breath and dismounted from her horse. Lily, Rose, and Lady Mary followed suit. While the three spread out a blanket and prepared lunch, Reina looked around. The sight of snow-white trees towering over the sky was breathtakingly beautiful. It felt almost regretful that she hadn’t known such a vast world existed until now. Reina breathed in the crisp air deeply, fiddling with her snowfox scarf. “Is this really for me?” “You kept saying you were…

- Chapter 32 Reina was both amazed and grateful that Aiden didn’t misinterpret his brother’s awkward behavior. After a moment, Aiden spoke with a lingering warmth. “Though it’s late, welcome to the North, Sister-in-Law.” Sister-in-Law. The word carried a weight she hadn’t expected. It felt like being acknowledged by Kaiden’s family. Blushing, Reina lowered her head. “I look forward to getting along.” The weather was exceptionally clear today. The sun shone brightly, and the harsh…

- Chapter 31 Aiden spoke politely. “So, I’m the one who should be asking you to take care of my lacking brother. He may not be good with words, but he’s warm at heart.” “Talking behind my back?” It was purely coincidental that Kaiden happened to visit the lab at that moment. “B-Brother?” Aiden flinched, stepping back as Kaiden barged in. Having just been talking about him, Aiden looked particularly guilty. Reina, too, looked at Kaiden with surprise, though she was also glad to see…

- Chapter 30 After sending Lady Mary away, Aiden let out a quiet sigh. “Soon, Lady Mary will come to you saying Reina is trying to drive a wedge between her and Dahlia.” “What do you mean?” “She’s been secretly placing her own people around Dahlia. I also found evidence she’s been taking bribes to recommend certain tutors.” “Why would Lady Mary…?” “I don’t know the full reason, but now that we know, you’d better be cautious. For your sake and Dahlia’s.” When…

- Chapter 29 Kaiden remained by Reina’s side until the social gathering concluded. His mere presence softened the attitudes of the northern noblewomen considerably, a testament to his remarkable influence. Reina sighed as she surveyed the now-quiet surroundings. The day had felt interminably long. Still, it had been a productive time, allowing her to gauge the dynamics among the northern nobility. Perhaps it was the release of tension. Reina downed a glass of wine from the table in one gulp. As…

- Chapter 28 All the noblewomen rose from their seats and paid their respects upon spotting Reina. “We greet the Star of the Empire and the Guardian of the North.” “Pleased to meet you all.” Reina, adeptly receiving their greetings, moved toward her seat but stopped precisely in front of Lady Mary. Lady Mary, who had been lost in thought and hadn’t noticed Reina’s arrival, belatedly stood and offered her greeting. “I greet the Star of the Empire.” Her words caused a stir among the…

Chapter 37 "I'm going to ask him out on a date." "Pwah!" At Rodia's words, which dropped like a bomb, Isolesia spat out the coffee she was drinking. She had been quietly studying, and then this bolt from the blue! "Wha, what did you say? Ask him out on a date? Who?" "Mr. Roart." "Suddenly? Like this? Out of nowhere?" Isolesia said with a dumbfounded expression. At her reaction, Rodia let out an "Ah" of realization. "Did I not tell you?" "Tell me what?" "I decided to date…- 1.4 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 36 Hestine's steps toward the meeting place were extremely light. His bright blonde hair lightly covered his forehead, and his blue-green eyes sparkled vividly. His face was full of anticipation, with a slight flush around his cheekbones. After coming down from the office, he immediately walked with a light step to the flower shop in the central square. Contrary to Hestine's own belief that he was walking as usual, the people who saw him thought something must definitely be going on…
