Chapter 48 Different Dreams in the Same Bed (3) The sun had climbed to its zenith. A ray of direct sunlight streaming through a gap in the curtains struck her eyes just right, forcing Serena into an unwanted awakening. "Ugh... so bright..." Was it because she'd drunk herself silly all night? "Water, waaater..." Her throat was parched. Her stomach churned, and her head throbbed as if a bell were ringing inside her skull. On top of that, why was the back of her neck so stiff? It felt like someone…- 2.8 M • Completed
Chapter 51 Heron Spiuna, not knowing his place, had set his sights on Roseel time and time again. Reston was not someone who couldn't read what those filthy eyes were thinking. Reston, mulling over that day, spoke with a cold, hardened face. "And it seems certain that the Count Roteroa family has a backer. Spiuna's money laundering route through the orphanage wasn't Roteroa." "...I suppose so." Crown Prince Christon muttered. The owner of the laundered money was likely someone else.…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 50 A piece of information I had forgotten came back to me. At the time, it was just TMI, but looking at it now, it was absolute gold. When Spelin Viscount passed away, Aileen fell ill during the funeral, and Reston went to great lengths to treat her. Back then, I just thought of it as an episode that deepened the love between Reston and Aileen. Hehehehe, so this was information that could make money. And I knew the herbs used to cure this epidemic. Because the one distributing the…

- Chapter 46 Different Dreams in the Same Bed (1) "From the Granville Viscount family... a marriage proposal? For me?" This wasn't the first time Serena had received a marriage proposal. And it wouldn't be the last. Serena had received marriage proposals from various families, easily dozens of times, from men whose faces she didn't even know. So-called arranged marriages. Don't think of it as too cold-hearted. For noble families, marriage was the easiest card to expand the family's influence. Any…

- Chapter 49 Count Roteroa declared with a gentle face. "So I've decided to take on the task of finding a match for Aileen myself. In fact, after speaking with her, I found that Aileen is not such an unreasonable child." "You spoke with Aileen?" Come to think of it, I had been so tired after returning yesterday that I fell asleep immediately. I didn't remember hearing the details from Aileen. "Of course. Aileen is no fool. I simply told her that if she continued to act this way, I would…

- Chapter 48 Reston was a man more faithful to his own desires than anyone. Moreover, Reston did not possess the warm, humane character that Rozel had. Birds of a feather flock together. Reston and Aileen were far too similar. Reston was not worthy of Rozel. And Reston held similar thoughts about Aileen. Reston coldly muttered. "Without Rozel, all you can do is get dragged around?" "That's...!" Aileen's lips trembled. She didn't want to tell Reston—who already looked down on her—about…

- Chapter 45 If Good Comes, Evil Does Not; If Evil Comes, Good Does Not (3) It was a night with many visitors. Jurgen let Baron Keystone into the house for now. Although it was late, it wasn't bedtime, and he was curious what he had come all this way to say. Wasn't Baron Keystone's weight class too big to come and just go for the beverage business? 'Is it because of taking down Rex?' If so, how deeply was Baron Keystone entangled with Rex? Jurgen's eyes darkened. Dark mages were a tribe that must be…

- Chapter 44 If Good Comes, Evil Does Not; If Evil Comes, Good Does Not (2) The incident of kneeling and begging for his life in Maple Garden spread far and wide throughout social circles under the name 'Rex's Humiliation'. It was because the incident had such a great impact. Since that day, no one looked at Rex with the same eyes of fear and awe as before. Ridicule and mockery replaced them. "Krrrh" Drunk Rex ruminated on the humiliation. No. This matter couldn't be dismissed as mere…

- Chapter 47 I was glad I could find Aileen right away upon entering. We moved to a more secluded corner. Of course, with me, Reston, and Aileen gathered together, we still drew quite a bit of attention. It was because all of us—the original male lead, the original female lead, and the original (hidden) villainess—had outstanding looks. "...I don't see Count Spiuna. Am I just not looking hard enough?" I casually threw out the question. Aileen kindly pointed out Count Spiuna's location…

- Chapter 46 Meanwhile, Viscount Muteso, who had been hiding in the shadows, poked his head out. For the past week, he had been lurking around the Roteroa mansion but hadn't been able to catch even a glimpse of Rozel. Now, she came into view, humming a tune as she entered the mansion. What an oddball—for a daughter of Count Roteroa, she returned in a hired carriage and walked into the mansion on foot. 'Is she stupid, or just ignorant?' That's precisely why she became Viscount Muteso's…
