Chapter 40 Meanwhile, at the same time. The grand hall of the palace was bustling with the charity party hosted by Frederick. An orchestra played cheerful music, and elegantly dressed guests laughed and chatted, enjoying themselves. The charity auction had concluded successfully, exchanging sums of money ordinary people could never dream of. It was a flawless party in every respect. Yet… “Boring.” Noah covered his mouth with his hand and let out a big yawn. Amid the crowd, who wore smiles…- 1.1 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 39 “Ah! These are from the Marquess!” “…Calix?” Linda was holding a pair of cream-colored pearl earrings. They were cute and delicate, but didn’t quite match Lisbeth’s current attire. Linda clicked her tongue, as if disappointed. “Hm, these don’t really suit what you’re wearing now. Should I take them off?” “No, leave them on. I want to wear them.” With Lisbeth’s insistence, Linda had no choice but to fasten the pearl earrings instead of the diamond ones. Though…

- Chapter 38 The virgin road ended quickly. At the end, Calix was waiting. Sunlight filtered through the stained glass, pouring over him in a spectrum of colors. It was as if he radiated light from within. Calix, too, wore a ceremonial outfit as pure and white as Lisbeth’s dress, as if perfectly matching her. “……” Calix’s face, however, remained calm. The moment he reached out to grasp her hand seemed to stretch out in slow motion. Through the gloves, the warmth of his hand pressed against…

- Chapter 37 After finishing her words, Lizbeth looked at Noah with a hint of nervousness. But her tension was quickly dispelled—Noah nodded willingly. “I’ll talk to Mother about it. Of course, I don’t know what decision she’ll make.” Lizbeth had thought that perhaps the Empress might still keep a distant relationship even with her own son, but seeing Noah’s reaction now, that didn’t seem to be the case. Lizbeth let out a sigh of relief at Noah’s straightforward response. Noah,…

- Chapter 36 As Lizbet approached, Noah pulled a glossy apple from his coat and held it out to her. Its deep red color gleamed especially brightly under the sunlight—apparently, this was the “gift” he had mentioned in the note. Letting out a small laugh again, Lizbet accepted the apple. “How did you throw the paper? You hit me perfectly.” “Hmm, I used a bit of mysterious power. Oh—did it hurt?” Noah playfully pretended to examine her, as if checking for injuries. Lizbet shook…

Chapter 56 The Grand Duke, who had been looking at Anais, continued. “Assassination attempts occur in the Grand Ducal residence as frequently as breathing. Therefore, since you have joined hands with me, I will protect your safety as well.” If not for her precognitive dreams, his words would have been deeply touching. But Anais had already witnessed death twice. She was too afraid of what the future held to easily believe him. “If that was a satisfactory answer, shall we eat now? The…- 836.0 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 55 Once the situation had been settled, Hayang returned to the Grand Duke’s arms. She happily accepted the treats he gave her and purred contentedly. “……” Anais was speechless as she watched Hayang voluntarily go to the Grand Duke. She was worried whether it was really okay to just leave things like this. As they walked along, with Anais feeling increasingly troubled, the Grand Duke suddenly stopped. “We’re here.” The place they had arrived at was a small…

- Chapter 54 “Wow!!” Along with the sound of applause, cheers erupted inside the tent from the people who had put their slips into the container for Number Two. “Too bad. Neither of us got it right.” “I suppose not.” As the noisy cheers grew louder, the Grand Duke leaned down toward Anais’s ear and whispered, “Shall we go now? There’s somewhere here I’d like to visit with you.” Unlike before, he whispered from a certain distance rather than coming too close. As soon…

- Chapter 53 The Grand Duke casually stroked Hayang and said, “Hayang. Quiet. Stay still so you don’t scare the people.” “Bbyak.” At the Grand Duke’s words, Hayang obediently became quiet as if by magic. Anais could not tell whether this was really a good thing, and her lips tightened. Meanwhile, the attention of the people around them turned toward Anais and the Grand Duke. “She is a wyvern tamed by my wife and me. I guarantee that she will cause no trouble for the Grand…

- Chapter 52 The Grand Duke was looking at Anais with a worried expression. Only then did Anais erase the complicated expression from her face. She then gave him a faint smile. “Ah. I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you for always looking out for me.” She could not tell what purpose he had in mind by telling her all these things. But Anais intended to make good use of them. Her mind was filled with only one thought: leaving the Grand Duchy as thoroughly as possible. While she remained silent,…
