Chapter 04 Noblesse oblige. The moral obligation befitting a high social status. The very idea that, as nobles, they should consider the plight of the poor commoners. With everyone waiting solely for my answer, I lifted my head. And I directed my gaze solely at the Duke. Of course, a smile was a bonus. "Surprised, aren't you? The dish I brought is grilled goblin, Father." The Duke's startled eyes turned back to the food. Alyssa's face crumpled even more at the word 'goblin'. "Eww,…- 1.1 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 03 I tried desperately to recall the novel, but aside from that one line, absolutely nothing else came to mind. 「"Alissa had remained holed up in her library, reading books, without ever dating a man since her debutante ball. It was because she was unpopular."」 But even that description made me doubt its reliability the moment I saw Alissa's face. Although she wore thick, flat-looking glasses, she was a girl with orange hair, and the freckles on her nose and cheeks were rather…

- Chapter 02 He broke free from his long reverie and carefully scrutinized me. Then, he furrowed his brow slightly. "Fine. If, as you say, you don't bat an eye in front of anyone, then a mere 80 gold is hardly a problem." My pupils dilated to their fullest extent. Being able to pay back 80 gold at once—I had to do whatever it took. "I'll do it, whatever it is, sir! Please, give me a chance!" The gentleman folded his arms and examined my appearance closely. From head to toe. Then,…

- Chapter 01 Two months before the wedding, on a particularly languid afternoon when the sunlight tickled my eyelids. The emblem of the Royal Order fluttered alongside the national flag all over the city, and the golden cross statue prominently placed in the center of the square was grandly proclaiming the prestige of mages. As I stared wide-eyed at the capital I was seeing for the first time, the carriage stopped in front of a large mansion, accompanied by the coachman's announcement of our…

- Chapter 10 My heart beat uneasily, but that was all. It was because his voice resembled the voice that had once pleaded with me so earnestly. In my past life, I had been completely infatuated with him. He too had seemed utterly smitten with me, and we both strove to fulfill each other's requests, no matter how unreasonable, somehow managing to do so. Fulfilling what the other desired—that, we believed, was proof of our love. Unaware that such things would actually cause my love to…

- Chapter 09 The Imperial Palace wasn't far from the Marquess of Wellington's residence, and the carriage arrived at the mansion around the time I found it difficult to endure the silence that had followed my aunt's hysterical laughter, my lips beginning to twitch. In my heart, I wanted to ask my aunt so many more things, but just because I had come back in time didn't mean my personality would change overnight. I was satisfied that I had spoken more than usual, and stepped out of the…

- Chapter 08 **"Release my hand and speak, Your Highness."** The one who stepped in front of me, committing near-insolence toward the Crown Prince, was truly an unexpected figure. Freed from his rough grip, I cradled my aching arm and stepped back a few paces. **"Marquis Wellington. And what, pray tell, do you think you're doing?"** My uncle, Marquis Anton Wellington, who had swiftly approached and struck aside the Crown Prince's hand, bowed his head politely at the Crown Prince's sharp…

- Chapter 07 It seems my father is under quite the misconception. I stared at him with cold eyes. "Father. Why do parents... think that simply giving birth is enough to fulfill their duty?" "Eloise. What nonsense are you—" "Until now, I tried to think that you must have your reasons. That there was something more important than what your daughter wanted, or what your wife wanted. Just as Mother used to say." But I don't think I need to do that anymore. I spat out in a chilling…

- Chapter 06 Ars often used to look at me and smile a happy smile, as if he had the whole world. And then he would mutter like a habit. 'You are truly my everything.' I had sent away that man. Because I couldn't distinguish between dream and reality. I recalled once again the things I had racked my brains over for days while locked in my room. The days I had thought were dreams felt more and more real as time passed, and I began to think that I was alive. How vivid Jena was,…
