Chapter 57 A Kind of Warning The head maid sliced the orange tart. Damian waved his hand lightly, indicating he didn’t plan to eat. As if she’d expected it, the head maid placed the orange tarts only in front of Princess Charlotte and Edelweiss. “Wow, it looks delicious! Sis, do you like orange tart? My brother doesn’t.” “Ah, y-yes, I do.” “Then you go first!” The well-baked tart crust looked thin and crisp, and glossy orange slices were laid over moist cream. A…- 880.0 K • Completed
Chapter 04 "......Th-this is." The flustered bandits exchanged glances among themselves. But the stupid bandit who had been hit by Terestia showed no sign of getting up at all. He was just twitching in the distance where he had flown and fallen, seemingly unconscious. And Terestia, who had hit him herself, blinked her innocent eyes as if she knew nothing. "Pfft... Hahaha." In the end, Argo couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing, and the bandit who appeared to be the leader…- 2.0 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 03 "So, who are you?" "Ah, I apologize for the late introduction. My name is Argo." "Argo?" Is that all? She looked at Argo with that meaning, but he only shrugged. During their journey north, Argo kindly answered all of Terestia's curious and wondering questions. After changing carriages headed north several times over nearly a month, the two finally managed to board the last carriage bound for the Inyument Territory. At the beginning of the cold winter, wearing the warm…

- Chapter 56 A Wise Wife “…..” The ground beneath her feet was firm, yet she felt as if it were swaying. Damian had clearly said this when he agreed to the marriage: He didn’t want love. He only wanted a wife in name—like a doll, nothing more. ‘Is it just possessiveness?’ That’s why she was confused. Edelweiss clutched the area over her heart, where it throbbed violently. If she let herself be dragged along like this, she would only end up at his mercy. “…I…

- Chapter 02 Your Highness the Grand Duke? At those words, Terestia rolled her eyes for a moment before realizing they were directed at her. *Ah, I'm the Grand Duke!* Hurriedly, she rummaged through Terestia's memories to find out what she would say in such a situation, and finally managed to open her mouth. "I, I was just playing around." "Here?" "......" *Is it not allowed to play here?* Terestia spent her days playing, drinking, and being holed up in places like this, only…

- Chapter 55 Don’t Forget That I’m a Son of a B*tch “…Yes?” Countess Lumire blinked blankly. Damian didn’t miss the moment to scan her from head to toe, as if to say, how dare she meet his gaze. Realizing it too late, Countess Lumire lowered her head. “When I ask something, answer. Don’t ask back.” “…” “I clearly said I had an appointment with the young marchioness. And now I’m being made out to be some scoundrel fabricating nonsense.” As Damian let out a…

- Chapter 1 Someone opened their eyes amid a musty smell and an eerie atmosphere. Looking around, they saw humans dressed in black prostrating themselves on the floor, crying out. “Oh, great demon…!” Great demon? What was that supposed to mean? The creature who had opened its eyes looked around, then, driven by curiosity, began slowly crawling toward the humans. “Please descend upon this place!” What did “descend” mean? It was terribly curious, but perhaps because it was…

Chapter 6 In my memories, he never once let me go. Even if I stopped breathing right in front of him, even if I fled to the farthest reaches of the world— Somehow, he would always find me and, without fail, imprison me tightly within his broad embrace. I want to die. Truly, I wanted to escape from him even if it meant dying... The thought that being alive was more horrifying than being dead kept me from falling asleep easily. I was lying buried in the soft bedding, sighing over and…- 1.6 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 54 Tactics “Yes?” Edelweiss tilted her head as if she truly didn’t understand what Countess Lumire meant. “It’s nothing. You’ll see soon enough. Don’t be too nervous.” Edelweiss nodded slightly. As expected, it seemed Countess Lumire had heard about the “limping woman” from the owner of Quentin House. ‘Rosemary, I’m really curious to see what you’ll do now.’ It was obvious Countess Lumire resented Rosemary and felt sympathy for Edelweiss. When…

- Chapter 53 Staged Act Rosemary glared at Countess Scherna for a long moment before finally speaking. “…You keep looking down on me, calling me a bastard again and again, but don’t you realize that nothing can change the fact that I have the Duke of Stern’s blood?” It seemed Rosemary’s temper flared just as much at the mention of her illegitimacy, so she fired back without backing down. “If you’re just talking about birth, my lineage is nobler than yours,…
