Chapter 09 "Did I... do something wrong?" "The poison you were exposed to today, Operative Aines, is a deadly toxin called 'Varga.' Fortunately, the wound was small, and the first aid was quick, but honestly, it wouldn't have been strange if you had died on the spot. It was serious enough to require a top-grade antidote." "Ah." Thank goodness. It seemed I hadn't been discovered by Valeska Hinchel. And I thought I understood what she was trying to say. "A top-grade antidote." Top-grade…- 1.1 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 08 A few minutes earlier. "Information on Helena Morton has come in." DuPont approached and reported. Killian raised his gaze to check the time. It was almost time for Deacon Gold to bring one of Knox Merchant Guild's business partners. This was someone who had repeatedly requested to meet Killian, saying it could help with the recent disruptions in trade with the Kingdom of Crolin. If it were the usual Killian, he would have called DuPont back in about an hour. "I'll return…

Chapter 70 Rosemary’s Scheme ‘My little sister is still so innocent and stupid, not even knowing how pitiful her situation is.’ Creak— creak— The rocking cradle’s noise grated on her nerves. Rosemary placed a hand on her slightly padded belly, wrapped in cloth. There had never been a child meant for that cradle. She had seduced Damian’s half-brother Adolf and spent the night with him solely to make Damian jealous. That night had been utterly humiliating for Rosemary. It was…- 880.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 69 Rosemary’s Pregnancy “I don’t know… I haven’t had any of the usual symptoms. I think the dream about the orca was just a coincidence.” “Aww…” Princess Charlotte visibly drooped in disappointment, lowering her head. It was at that moment that the dining room door opened and Anna approached. Her voice, as she leaned close to Edelweiss’s ear, carried an unusual tension. “My lady, the young lady of the Riche family is here to see you. She urgently requests an…

- Chapter 07 I quickly stepped into the guard post. When a visitor was escorted to the guard post, it usually meant there was some kind of problem. "Senior, what's going on?" "Ah, this person says they have an appointment, but they're not on the visitor list." Senior Jake scratched his forehead with a troubled look and answered. "I'm telling you, the list is wrong. This appointment was made over a month ago. Honestly. I'm the head of the Green Merchant Guild." The man calling himself…

- Chapter 68 A Rabbit Caught in a Snare His uncle, the Marquis of Riche, had begun pestering him that it was time to find someone to marry and start a family. He even went as far as to gather portraits of noble young ladies and present them to Damian. Among those portraits was one of Edelweiss. Strangely, out of all the many noble ladies’ portraits, hers was the only one he remembered. He could still clearly picture what she had been wearing. A somber dress that gave off a calm…

- Chapter 06 Killian Knox's proud right-hand man, and one of the seven executives, DuPont Clancher, tilted his head. *'Strange. I'm sure I was in the middle of reporting that finding Helena Morton was proving too difficult...?'* Had he, without realizing it, said something like 'finding Morton is a piece of cake'? He'd been pulling all-nighters for ten days straight now, so it was about time he started spouting nonsense. No, even so, he couldn't have said that to His Grace... could…

- Chapter 67 Departure Ceremony That strange feeling tickled her heart again whenever Damian stood beside her. “I’ll write and send you letters often.” Once again, something stirred deep within her chest. “You really are so tearful. Anyone would think I’m going off to die. When you act like this, how am I supposed to walk away?” “It’s not that… it’s just windy. And please don’t say things like that. Lady Shasha is here with us. Do you know how bad that kind of talk is…

- Chapter 66 Handkerchief “…..” Edelweiss glanced at him, speechless, even though she already knew the answer. “So, why did His Majesty summon you?” Damian scratched his neck and laughed for a while before replying. “I have to depart in three days.” “Depart?” “Our relations with the Kingdom of Astrian have soured due to a trade blockade. His Majesty said he’s irritated by the provocations through the smuggling ring.” To think the Emperor would order his…

- Chapter 65 Marital Relations He swiftly pulled off the negligee draped over her shoulders. Damian’s persistent touch did not stop. Soon, the negligee fell to the floor by his hand. Her face flushed hot from being completely exposed, with no time to cool down. With just a brief movement, their body heat mingled and the distance between them completely collapsed. Edelweiss writhed in his arms. Bruises spread across her skin like flowers. As Damian bit down on her neck for a long…
