Chapter 52 Rosemary’s Rudeness The next day at noon, at the Marchioness of Blossomweaver’s residence. “Young Marchioness, I’m so sorry…” The daughter of the Marquess of Riche entered the drawing room with an awkward expression, apologizing. It was because Lady Scherna of Count Scherna was with her. “When I heard Chloe was visiting the Young Marchioness’s residence, I hurried to join her. I hope I’m not imposing?” “Not at all. I was actually wondering how to…- 880.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 51 The Limping Woman “What’s all the fuss about?” Rosemary frowned, her irritation plain. “All the flowers in the garden have… have wilted!” “What?” Rosemary slammed the table and shouted. She bit her lip, then suddenly asked, her eyes wide, “Don’t tell me—the hyacinths too?” “Yes…” When Jane replied that even the hyacinths had wilted, Rosemary’s face twisted in shock. “The hyacinths were perfectly fine this morning—why all of a…

Chapter 5 All I had wanted from Ian was a little bit of help. Even now, after recovering some of my memories, that hadn't changed. And yet, of all people, the one who had helped me turned out to be the heir who would one day rule this duchy. This is a little troublesome. Dant dressed me in a shimmering silk nightgown while continuing to chatter busily. “I actually overheard the conversation between the young master and the head butler earlier.” “What conversation?” “They…- 1.6 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 4 The next partner was me. It wasn't welcome news, but I calmly accepted my fate. “You are going to become the god's consort.” His people welcomed me with bright smiles. “Go inside and tell him your name. If he calls you by that name again, you will stay here with him.” A month? Half a year? I obediently followed their instructions while wondering how long I might be able to remain there. “My name is Heine.” And I believed that, at the latest, our…

- Chapter 3 “Um… Lady Heine?” A young voice reached me. It was a cautious voice, gently trying to wake me. Oh. I must have fallen asleep. I blinked sleepily and slowly lifted myself from the doze I'd slipped into. A comfortable room came into view, so cozy that it felt as though it had always been mine. It was a neat room filled with the sort of things ordinary young ladies would probably like. This country is called Ainz, right? I had somehow become the benefactor whom the…

- Chapter 49 Count Sandor Why? As the Pope bestowed his blessing upon Isabella and sprinkled holy water during the farewell rites, a surge of emotion welled up uncontrollably. “Did you have a personal connection with Princess Isabella?” Biting her lip to hold back tears, Edelweiss saw Damian casting her a puzzled glance. She quickly bowed her head with an excuse. “We were close in age… it’s just sad. But, why hasn’t His Majesty the Emperor shown up?” The funeral was nearing…

- Chapter 48 Broken Fingernail The drawing felt oddly familiar. As she stared intently at it, a distant, cozy day came to mind. ‘Wow, Edel. What’s this?’ ‘I drew Uncle! There’s a tree and flowers, and also, a butterfly!’ ‘My goodness, you did such a great job. Violet, maybe Edel has talent. Right?’ The Marquise of Blossomweaver had bluntly said that it didn’t look like she had any talent. In response, the Marquis of Blossomweaver had gently covered her ears to…

- Chapter 2 Even until the moment I climbed into the carriage, I was still hesitating. Was it really all right to follow Ian like this? Would I be safe if I innocently accepted his kindness like some naïve young girl? Unlike me, whose thoughts were a tangled mess, Ian was perfectly at ease. Even after readily allowing a woman whose identity he didn't know into his carriage, he merely offered a refreshing smile whenever our eyes happened to meet. The carriage had been traveling for quite some…

- Chapter 47 Anchor-Shaped Earring It felt hot, almost like a burn. Edelweiss bit her lip and endured the pain. “Why?” “Ah, it’s nothing.” Damian continued the treatment with slightly more careful hands than before. “If it hurts, say so. Why are you stubbornly enduring it?” Maybe it was just a habit now. “…It’s not that serious.” “You bled that much and can’t even walk properly, and you say it’s not serious?” When you’ve experienced the worst,…
