Chapter 28 A Surprise Gift (1) ‘I don’t have to buy everything they brought, right?’ The jewels on each dress were obviously real, and judging by the luxurious fabric, the raw materials alone must have been expensive. ‘Wait, since the Grand Duke called Madame here, is he the one paying? Or is it coming from my personal funds?’ A cold sweat suddenly ran down my back. ‘I’m the Grand Duchess, yet I can’t even ask how much the dresses cost.’ “Your Highness, would you like…- 3.0 M • Ongoing
Chapter 58 The notice we saw at the station. The large diamond-shaped lock engraved on the train. And the day we first visited the Deste Estate. “Those marks represent Clavis subsidiaries. The symbol of the Clavis family is a key, so every business or foundation related to them uses a lock as its emblem.” That was what Ian had told me. “The Clavis family was officially wiped out, so why are all of their subsidiaries still running so well?” I clearly remembered reading a newspaper…- 1.9 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 27 Getting the Recipe “I-I’m sorry, Your Grace! I thought the room was empty!” The maid had entered, carrying a tray with a water jug and cups. “Leave it and go.” “Y-yes!” Startled by his cold tone, the maid quickly placed the tray on the bedside table and rushed out. After all the effort he had put into scolding the Grand Duchess about not visiting him at night… And now, he had been caught watching her sleep. How pathetic. At least the maid had seen them…

- Chapter 26 The Effects of an All-Nighter As soon as I returned to the castle, I asked Perel for a list of the knights’ names. Since I had already decided to put in effort, I thought it would be best to write the name cards myself. Even if the gifts were all the same, receiving one with your own name on it would feel more special. If I call out their names while handing out the gifts, it’ll make a stronger impression too. Looking back now, it was an incredibly reckless decision. Writing…

- Chapter 57 “Just changing our hair color makes us look like completely different people.” With the elegant uniforms that Nema had made, we looked exactly like a group from a powerful noble family. I was curiously admiring my reflection in the window when Verity revealed something surprising. “Pex modified the magic tools.” “Uncle did?” “This magic tool can avoid detection from other tracking magic tools. We already tested it in the village. As expected from a former magic…

- Chapter 25 Meeting the Knights (2) “It’s nice to meet you.” The Grand Duchess smiled warmly as she handed out small packages. “It’s an honor to meet you.” With his face flushed red, Theor bent his knee slightly, accepted the package, and stepped back. “Sir Hassel.” “Yes! Your Highness!” At the call of his name, the knight Hassel quickly stepped forward. Meanwhile, Loic used his tall height to sneak a peek into the basket. Each neatly wrapped package had a…

- Chapter 56 However, I wasn't particularly bothered that I had revealed my secret. I've never treated it like a secret anyway. I had always openly told people about it. After all, it was much more efficient to tell them in advance than to have them find out later and think I was strange. That way I can always say, "See? I already told you!" But no matter how many times I said it... Not a single person believed me. Well... how could they? Even I have trouble believing it. "..." I stood…

- Chapter 55 Nema and I moved to a small resting area outside the training grounds. She doesn't seem to be injured... As we walked side by side, I carefully checked her body for any wounds. Thankfully, she didn't seem seriously hurt. Did she awaken as a Berserker? Just like Verity said... Had she lost her reason and gone on a rampage? If it was because of the conversation we had that day... Feeling guilty, I lowered my eyes. ...Huh? Something felt strange. Her hands are empty. The…

- Chapter 24 Meeting the Knights (1) “Ninety-nine… handkerchiefs?” “Yes, I’ll be formally meeting the knights tomorrow, and I’d like to give them a gift.” Everyone around was stunned. While Leon and Norton seemed touched, the tailor shop staff looked more like they were in shock. Madam’s expression became troubled. “In just one day… that might be difficult.” I knew it. Making that many by hand in such a short time was unrealistic. “But a handkerchief is the most…

- Chapter 23 A Large Order ‘Sigh, am I crazy?’ Loic secretly sighed as he met the Grand Duchess’s gaze. The first thought that came to his mind when he saw her pout was, “Cute.” ‘But it’s true that she’s incredibly cute.’ The strange thing would be not finding her adorable after seeing that expression. In the end, Loic felt the need to justify himself and confessed the truth. “Tomorrow, the entire knight order has training, so I’ll be at the training grounds all…
