Chapter 21 I touched my head without realizing it. It felt like I was the one lying, and my heart grew cold. ‘But Leon is the one lying.’ I was just playing along with his lie. Still, was Lucas reacting to Leon’s words out of jealousy? That can’t be, right? I turned my head and looked at Lucas. His eyes had turned sharp. In his dark black eyes, a strange hatred appeared. ‘No, I have to just smile. I need to, for your sake.’ But of course, Lucas couldn’t hear my…- 518.4 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 20 When I turned toward the noise, I saw Leon waving his arms wildly at me. Leon came running loudly with heavy steps. I let out a sigh like a mom watching her son misbehave. “Leon! Don’t run so loudly!” At my words, Leon started tiptoeing. ‘Sigh, he has no in-between.’ I shook my head. “Everyone’s busy because the new leader is coming. I’ve been abandoned.” “You haven’t been abandoned.” More like he ditched his aides to come play. “To be…

- Chapter 19 “This doesn’t make sense.” “The Saintess said so herself.” Kalsen reached out with a trembling hand toward the sacred sword Aesar on the table. But Leon quickly pulled it into his arms. “I told you not to touch it carelessly.” “No, this is just too unbelievable.” Kalsen kept repeating the same thing over and over. “Well then, what about all the nonsense I’ve gone through? Would it hurt to believe that I finally got a bit of good…

- Chapter 18 Cassia smiled gracefully at Leon, then turned her head to look at me. “Duchess, I apologize for visiting without notice.” “It’s an honor to have you visit Aster Castle. Please, come inside.” We walked with Cassia to the reception room. “Bell-bell, sit next to me!” Leon rushed into the room and shouted excitedly. “I’m sorry, but I would like to speak with the Duchess alone.” Cassia spoke quietly to me, watching Leon wiggling and smiling on the…

- Chapter 17 “What? I’ll pay. I don’t want it for free,” I said. The old lady slowly bent over and walked to a chair, sitting down with a hunched back. “How much will you pay? You don’t have any money. Living off someone else and saying nonsense—get out now, or I’ll take that bell.” How did she know? Do I really look that poor? Maybe she was just saying it, but I felt guilty anyway. I held the bell tightly and quickly left the shop. Her sharp eyes made it feel like she really…

- Chapter 16 “That may be true, but I really didn’t expect to see Lucas there. Honestly, if I had known he was there, I wouldn’t have come. Ugh, it’s funny that I’m even trying to explain myself to you. Why am I explaining at all?” I sighed deeply and crossed my arms. “…We’re sorry. It’s our fault, my lady,” Amy, who had been silent, lowered her head and apologized. “I truly have nothing to do with that man. I hope you understand.” I didn’t know if Amy really…

- Chapter 15 He grabbed his stomach and started laughing. It seemed like he was genuinely amused, which hurt a little. ‘He really thinks I’m just like him, doesn’t he?’ As I silently stared at him laughing, he eventually stopped—maybe realizing the mood had changed. “I’m thinking of going back to Aster today.” “What? You can’t go today.” “I mean, you can stay here. I’ll go alone. All you do is tease me. I guess I’m not important to you.” “Wahh, Bell-bell,…

- Chapter 14 “This is driving me crazy.” What is there to prepare? We’re just holding hands and sleeping, right? I was forced into a bathtub filled with so much scented oil it made me dizzy. Leon must’ve gone through the same. I tried to understand why we needed to bathe if we were only going to sleep while holding hands, but I already knew too much—and my face burned with embarrassment. “It’s gross to smell bad while sharing a bed. That must be it.” I tried to convince myself…

- Chapter 13 It was ridiculous to think Leon had somehow become the standard of a handsome man. I couldn’t help but laugh. “Why are you laughing?” “Someone just came to mind… No, why am I even answering? I’m not interested in your confession or anything like that. Just leave already. It’s not even worth listening to.” “Bella, are you serious? I’m Lucas Anderson. You were the one begging me to meet you.” “Am I crazy? Why would I do that? Even if I did, I’m a married…

~Chapter 102~ “The first one to take it wins! Whoever snatches the brooch from Madame Rominas becomes its rightful owner!” At the host’s words, several men jumped to their feet. Then, from the back of the room, a woman’s voice rang out: “Is there any guarantee you’ll be safe if you win it? Going against House Kailas sounds like a quick way to disappear without a trace.” The crowd froze mid-motion. Even those high on pleasure and pills hesitated. Survival instincts kicked in…- 1.8 M • Completed
