Chapter 02 The 500-Denir Wedding (Part 1) “How about holding the wedding at the temple?” At my suggestion, the Marquess raised an eyebrow. Traditionally, weddings were held at the Marquess’s estate, where the grand hall would be lavishly decorated and a banquet would follow. The cost for such an event wasn’t small. On the other hand, a temple wedding was much cheaper, as it was usually prepared by lower-ranking priests using simple artificial or paper flowers. Given the Freis family’s…- 3.0 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 1 One Year Later in Blenheim Wow. The visitors entering the exhibition hall were stunned. They were nobles from the capital visiting the Northern region to attend the Imperial Exhibition held in Blenheim. The sunlight streaming through the glass dome gently illuminated the massive columns and delicate sculptures inside the exhibition hall. Luxurious exhibits from merchants and workshops across the Empire filled the space. The visitors looked around, constantly gasping in…

~Chapter 14~ “Whenever Bella went to the masquerade, she wore a mask that covered most of her face and dressed in a way that didn’t reveal much skin. And when she met the men she seduced in the garden, she always wore a robe.” The men, who had touched and even kissed Bella, wanted to see her again in the bright sunlight, but Bella, who only desired a night of pleasure and the valuable information those men held, rejected their advances. And during those times, Harriet served as the perfect cover…- 1.8 M • Completed
- ~Chapter 13~ “I agree.” “I thought she was much better than the other guests.” With her companions also supporting her, Cathrine felt at ease and called for Harriet. Harriet, who had been planning to go to the soap workshop after breakfast, found herself sitting in front of Cathrine and Agnes without knowing why. “Sister, thank you for your hard work in the soap workshop. We appreciate your dedication.” “Oh, it was nothing.” Harriet’s humble response lacked the “looking…

- ~Chapter 12~ And then he left. Bella didn’t miss the sneer that lingered at the end of his words. “Did he just mock me?” She wanted to believe she was being oversensitive, that he didn’t mean it that way, but no matter how many times she thought about it, she reached the same frustrating conclusion. Cedric knew about the Listerwell family’s intentions in sending Harriet to the convent. He also knew that Bella’s attempt to speak with him was merely a side act of that. On top of…

- ~Chapter 11~ The fact that his twin brother had been chosen by the princess and made into a duke was the most painful thing for Benedict. “Damn luncheon…!” Every time he thought about it, his teeth clenched. The luncheons hosted regularly by the Empress every quarter were boring events where one had to agree with the idle chatter of the older ladies. Benedict, who had gone with his mother a few times and ended up completely exhausted, generously passed this task to his younger brother,…

- ~Chapter 10~ At my uncle’s house, I always carried stomach medicine with me. I constantly had diarrhea or constipation, and it was normal for me to have gas or stomach pains, so I just accepted it as part of life. But since coming to the monastery, except for the first few days, I haven’t had any stomach discomfort at all. ‘Why is that? Is it really because this place is blessed by God?’ Even though I didn’t believe in miracles, I couldn’t help but wonder. As I thought about it…

- ~Chapter 09~ Ding-. Ding-. The sound of the bell from the tower echoed, waking the monastery that was still shrouded in darkness. Dawn was approaching, but it was still so dark that without a lamp, you couldn’t even tell the front from the back of your clothes. Harriet sluggishly got out of bed. “Ugh, I’m so stiff.” As she stretched, her bones and joints creaked from being pressed against the hard bed. She wanted to sleep more, but she knew if she lazed around, she’d miss breakfast…

- ~Chapter 08~ However, Cedric still didn’t say anything and just touched his lips. He seemed a bit upset. Noticing this, one of the men quickly lowered his voice and carefully apologized. “I’m sorry for bringing up that incident. It must still bother you…” “No, not at all. It’s just… I said it was fine back then, but I still wonder why she had to be sent to the convent.” Then, the man who started the conversation quickly responded. “That incident only finally broke…

- ~Chapter 07~ “If you go out of your room and keep going to the right, you’ll see stairs on your left. Go down there, and it’s on the left. I’ll tell you what you’ll need to do tomorrow after breakfast. Please finish unpacking by the end of the day.” Harriet nodded. She had a lot of questions out of anxiety, but she felt like if she asked more, she’d be looked down upon for no reason. Emma didn’t add any further explanation and immediately walked away. Harriet stood there dazed for…
