Chapter 100 Countess Sandor A week later, Edelweiss waited in the drawing room, timed precisely for Unit Magnollen’s arrival. Crackling— The fireplace let out a low murmur as the logs burned, its warmth slowly thawing her frozen hands. “Your Grace. Lady Unit Magnollen of House Magnollen has arrived.” At the sound of footsteps, Edelweiss looked up. Unit entered with Anna, hands neatly folded, and bowed. “Unit Magnollen of the House of Magnollen greets the Grand Duchess of…- 880.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 99 Empress Roxanne’s Jealousy It had already been fifteen days since Damian left. There was still no news from the warship that had sailed beyond the Arcane Strait. Every morning, Edelweiss stood by the window, waiting for his return. When she left the door slightly open, the cold air brushed her cheek. She could feel winter gradually approaching. “Uuh.” She hurriedly closed the window, worried that Gloria, murmuring in her cradle, might catch a cold. “Ah, uh,…

- Chapter 98 The Scoundrel Like No Other Edelweiss straightened her back with effort, but her heart ached sharply. She felt disheartened. Surely, if Gloria were to be favored by the Emperor, it should be a good thing. But she didn’t feel happy at all. “Since her name hasn’t been officially recorded in the imperial genealogy yet, it would be better to change it to Anasha.” Anasha. A pet name for Empress Anastasia? “…Your Majesty. Princess Charlotte left a will. She asked…

- Chapter 97 Do You Love Me? “…Gloria?” At the sharp cry, Edelweiss instinctively opened her eyes. Her broken consciousness, which had been fading in and out like a fractured breath, slowly returned. It felt as though blood, scraped up from deep within her lungs, had filled her mouth with bitterness as it crawled down her throat. As her eyes slowly regained focus, the outline of a golden chandelier came into view. The beige dress she wore was stained with darkened blood, the color…

- Chapter 96 I Shouldn’t Have Gotten Married “Edelweiss. My dear.” She trembled with disgust at Duke Stern’s shamelessness. Now pretending to be a loving father concerned for his daughter, and a doting grandfather eager to see his granddaughter—it was contemptible. He had once begged her to save Rosemary. Even knowing all about how his hands were stained with her gruesome death, if Duke Stern truly felt remorse, wouldn’t he have refrained from trying to engage with her again at…

- Chapter 95 The Duke of Stern’s Granddaughter The entire world sank into pitch-black darkness. A suffocating gloom swallowed Edelweiss whole. She couldn’t tell whether she was still alive or had already died; consciousness felt as hazy as sinking into a deep sea. “Your Highness—” “Edel, sweetheart. Open your eyes.” A voice spread from somewhere, familiar and earnest, seeping into her heart. “…I can’t… find a pulse.” All surrounding sounds vanished. That…

~Chapter 34~ “Welcome—!” Oh, this shop was more casual than I thought. The clothing shop Richard told us about didn’t carry dresses for parties or balls, but comfortable dresses for daily life. That meant Sophia wouldn’t feel burdened wearing them. “I’d like to see some dresses that would suit this young lady.” “Yes! This way, please.” “U-um… I really don’t think I belong in a place like this…” “It’s fine, don’t feel pressured.” I guided the awkward Sophia and…- 1.2 M • Completed
- Chapter 94 “Please Love Gloria” Every breath gouged at her lungs, a sharp ache searing through her chest. The pain tightened around her whole body without pause, stabbing at her waist like a knife. Edelweiss clawed at the sheets, biting down hard on her lower lip. “H-… ha-ah…” Air rasped from her mouth in ragged bursts, as though she were drowning beneath deep water. Time dissolved; more than once she nearly blacked out, clinging to consciousness only in flickers. Sweat soaked her…

- ~Chapter 33~ The café “Fin Brown” was even more crowded than I imagined.It was truly one of the hottest places in the city. Thankfully, Eric and Sophia took seats on the terrace, so we were able to sit right behind them. “…I ordered quite a lot… but I’m not sure if it’s okay to spend so much with My Lady’s money.” While Richard went to order, I listened carefully to Sophia’s words from behind. When I glanced, it was only two cups of tea and four slices of cake—yet she already…

- ~Chapter 32~ “H-how did you know it was me?” The maids had put special makeup on me and even gave me a wig. Unless someone looked very closely, it should’ve been hard to recognize me. But Richard saw through it instantly, which surprised me. “Of course I’d know. But why are you dressed like that?” “Oh, I disguised myself because I needed to follow someone.” “Follow? You mean that shady-looking knight?” “Wha—! How do you know about that?” He was clearly talking about…
