Chapter 45 Reston answered smoothly. "It's not a difficult task. Once I find him, I will let Rozel know first." "Thank you. Given that he still hasn't been found, he must be hiding very well. Or else he's holed up in some inn and won't come out." "I'll keep that in mind. Which city do you think the bastard is in, Rozel?" Rozel tapped her chin. After rolling her eyes thoughtfully, she tilted her head. "If he's fleeing, he'd probably be in a port city. If not, and if he wants something…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
Chapter 44 I returned to Aileen. She was waiting for me in my bedroom, as she had grown accustomed to doing. "Did you meet with him well? What did His Grace say?" "Hold on. Sophie, can you keep watch out front? Knock on the door if someone comes." "Pardon? Yes!" Sophie nodded and left the room. I quickly went over and sat next to Aileen. "Listen, Aileen." "Yes, Rozel? Did something happen? You look pale." "I'm asking just in case there's a misunderstanding. If you ever felt like I might…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
Chapter 43 So this is why rumors spread like a snowball, they say. "Grandmother said that?" "......" Her lack of an answer confirmed it. Honestly, I didn't think Lady Yurasel would have done it on purpose. Why would such a dignified and elegant noblewoman do something like that? Besides, judging by Lady Yurasel's character as I'd experienced her so far, it didn't seem like she would have done it intentionally. There must have been a communication error. "That's not how it…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
Chapter 43 This is why they say rumors snowball. "Grandmother said that?" "……." Her lack of answer confirmed it. In fact, I didn't think Lady Yurasel had done it on purpose. Why would a dignified and elegant noblewoman do such a thing? Besides, judging by Lady Yurasel's character as I'd experienced so far, it didn't seem like she'd done it intentionally. There must have been a miscommunication. "That wasn't it." "……At least marrying me is better than becoming a farmer,…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
Chapter 41 And that one piece of advice Lady Yurasel had pieced together left a deep resonance with Reston. "What did you just say?" "Did you not hear me? I said Rosiel would rather become a farmer than marry you!" "……." That couldn't be true. From what Reston could tell, Rosiel clearly had feelings for him. His aide and everyone else said so too. "That's nonsense. Don't say such things." "Then you can just ask her yourself. Next time you see Rosiel, ask her. Find out if…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
Chapter 42 Following the advice of his aide and the Crown Prince, Reston purchased flowers. It was a beautiful bouquet, nice enough to lift a sick person's spirits. Thinking about what Rosiel usually liked, she seemed to prefer cute, delicate things, so he chose that kind. The bouquet, with pink and white flowers harmoniously arranged, looked decent even to Reston. "She'll like it, right?" "That's the fifth time you've asked." "Answer me anyway." "……Yes. She'll like it." The…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
Chapter 40 Even though I said it was fine, Reston dropped me off in front of the mansion, saying he was heading to work anyway. "Make sure you eat well." "Do you know that's the sixth time you've said that?" I hadn't known he was this clingy. I shot him a fed-up look. His annoyingly handsome face was looking at me seriously. Was my collapse really that shocking to him? Since everyone around me was making such a fuss, it actually made me feel more numb. "You need to sleep well…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
Chapter 39 I really ate until I was stuffed. Throughout the meal, things kept being placed in front of me from beside, so even though I ate non-stop, my stomach didn't feel heavy. Everything was soft, non-greasy, and easily digestible. After that, fortunately, I also got the chance to have tea time alone with Lady Yurasel. It was because a guest had suddenly come to see Reston. "Your complexion looks much better. When I saw you briefly yesterday, you were so pale. I really thought you were…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
Chapter 38 "Reston. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble today." “……No. It's really fine." "I should also apologize directly to Lady Yurasel……." "That's fine too. Grandmother would prefer to see you show up safe and sound for breakfast tomorrow after a good rest." "Is that so?" I smiled softly. Come to think of it, Lady Yurasel did have a favorable impression of me. "It's fortunate to see you awake. Rest well here for today and return tomorrow." Reston said in a…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
Chapter 37 Irene composed herself. Reston led Irene to the reception room. A maid cautiously pushed in a tray and set up refreshments. The standoff between Reston and Irene ended when Reston picked up his teacup. Reston spoke sharply. "I never thought I'd be restricted from entering my own house like this. And by a guest, no less." “……And I never thought I'd hear such rude remarks from someone who doesn't even know my name." Irene shot back without backing down. She wouldn't…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
