Chapter 21 Kaiden held a bouquet of flowers in his hand. From the situation, it seemed Rose had given it to him. Reina, for some reason, couldn’t bring herself to approach the two. Was it because they seemed quite close? Or perhaps… Reina felt a strange discomfort as she stared at Rose. Rose, who usually wore a sullen expression, was now smiling brightly. Her shy, girlish demeanor left Reina dazed. Then, Reina easily guessed why Rose had been so prickly toward her. ‘She likes…- 1.2 M • Completed
Chapter 9 The smile vanished from the noble lady’s face, leaving her expression cold as ice. Her tone was firm and chilly. When young nobles got angry, they often raised their voices and lost their composure. But not Eliano. She never raised her voice. Her perfect and proper manners had grown even more refined. The older noblewoman who had once been disappointed in her timid nature began to hope again. On the day in question, Countess Hyren’s daughter answered the host’s cheerful question at…- 1.7 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 8 “You should have refused the Empress’s seat when I took the throne. Honestly, I was disgusted by your ambition back then.” But that wasn’t ambition. Maybe it was a misunderstanding as someone from Bianteca, but it was love – she had only wanted to keep the man she loved all to herself. It wasn’t ambition. It was love. “You should’ve had a child, at least.” Even if she had, he still would’ve killed her. Eliano knew that. “If you’d given birth to a son, I…

- Chapter 20 Seeing Dahlia sobbing in her arms, Reina felt like crying too. Lily, standing nearby, kept muttering, “Oh, what should we do?” but couldn’t bring herself to intervene. As Reina wiped Dahlia’s tear-streaked face, the girl continued, her cheeks flushed red. “Sniff, Daddy only pretends to smile in front of me. But I know… he cries at night looking at Mommy’s picture.” “You really love your daddy, don’t you?” “He’s all I have now. So even though I miss…

- Chapter 19 “You’re calling me crazy now too?” “No, what do you even think marriage is? You rushed into it for that reason? You, who swore you’d never marry!” Since childhood, Kaiden had declared he’d never marry, much to their parents’ chagrin. Thankfully, Aiden had wanted to marry, so they’d settled the succession issue amicably. Yet, Kaiden had now eloped, stirring up the Northern Council. And all for some oracle? For the first time, Aiden doubted his…

- Chapter 7 Flint was deep within the Empress’s Palace, waiting inside the greenhouse where pink cherry blossoms were in full bloom. He was waiting for one person, endlessly. “Your Grace, we must go. It’s almost patrol time.” “This is the perfect time to slip out of the palace.” “I don’t think Empress Eliano will come.” His attendants urged him to leave, but Flint stood firm. As if answering his hope, a woman in a black veil appeared, carefully checking her…

- Chapter 18 The heavy revelation prompted an apology from Reina. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bring up something painful.” “No, not at all. I’m more worried that Dahlia caused you trouble.” “Not in the least. I understand because I used to follow anyone who resembled my missing brother. Even though I knew it wasn’t him, I missed him so much that I acted impulsively.” “Is that so?” “Yes. Dahlia probably knows too. She’s just searching for anyone who even…

- Chapter 17 Once Celine left, a moment for light conversation arose. Reina spoke warmly. “You must be sisters, sharing the same surname.” “Yes, that’s right, my lady! Please, speak casually!” “Should I? So, how many siblings are there in House Daily?” “I’m the third child, and Rose is the second. Our eldest sister is already married and lives outside the estate, and… oh! I have two younger sisters below me!” As Lily cheerfully explained her family history without…

- Chapter 16 Kaiden glanced at the now-docile Reina, letting out a soft chuckle. ‘When was she thrashing around in pain, and now she’s lying here dozing as if it’s her own bedroom?’ Unable to resist her drowsiness, Reina finally closed her eyes. Perhaps it was the massage after soaking in the bath, but her eyelids kept growing heavier. “…If I fall asleep… later…” A moment later, Reina vaguely heard Kaiden speaking to someone before completely surrendering to…

- Chapter 6 “Why would you say something like that? He is the Emperor of Zacador and my husband. Watch your words!” “He’s a man who shamelessly plays with many women. That’s why, even for Your Majesty, the word ‘Emperor’ comes before ‘husband’, doesn’t it?” Flint struck where it hurt. Eliano’s hand, gripping the armrest, was trembling. Her eyes were red. It looked like tears could fall at any moment. “Marcel is the Emperor. Men of Bianteca don’t love only one woman…
