Chapter 04 Our meeting was fate. Anyone who knew about Asher and my backgrounds would probably say the same. That we were two people who were destined to meet. "You have quite peculiar tastes for a young lady who seems to have been raised delicately." A place that was dark and, at first glance, even a little eerie. Yet, perfectly secluded from the surrounding noise, so the melodies of nature were more audible than artificial sounds. That was the place where he and I first…- 1.6 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 03 Drip, drop—the sound of water falling. No, perhaps it was the sound of blood dripping. I remember sitting in the bathtub with my wrist deeply cut, blankly watching the drops of blood fall. I remember closing my eyes, leaving my fading consciousness behind. *So this is how I die,* I thought, feeling the strength slowly leave my body—until at some point, I felt my vision grow bright. And then, as if someone were standing beside me, a low voice struck my ear. *"It's all…

- Chapter 02 Like a magic that has now faded away, leaving behind only a faint name, how wonderful it would be if, when I opened my eyes, everything could be undone as if it never happened. But magic had long since disappeared, and there was no way that what had already happened could be erased. Above all, the magic that exists solely for the Imperial Family could never be unfolded for me, who stands on the opposite side of the Imperial Family. Magic was merely my vain hope, and reality was…

- Chapter 01 "Milady. The Duke has returned." It was a late night, when the world had been dyed entirely black. That short, ordinary sentence dragged me down to hell in an instant. My husband, who had come home after the streetlights had been turned off, just as always. And I, dressed in plain white clothes, sitting blankly in a place that wasn't even the marital bedroom. Just how much longer did I have to endure this hellish time? Staring blankly, the question suddenly…

Chapter 10 "...What?" "The real reason I have to help you." Franz looked as if he had lost his mind for a moment at Irene's words, which had reached his ears. "What do you mean... we both live, don't we?" "Is that the entirety of your reason?" "......" Irene's retort. The Crown Prince Franz gave no answer to this. Irene quietly stood up and opened the door of the reception room. "If that's all, then I'd like you to leave now." "Irene." "Just because Your Highness…- 1.5 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 09 "Your Highness the Princess, would you care to dance with me?" "Who..." At a familiar voice, she turned around. And there, she saw a man with a beaming, smiling face. "Crown Prince Franz?" "Then who did you think it was?" "I didn't think it would be you." "Well, anyway. Everyone's watching. Would you dance with me?" It was exactly as Franz Mestia had said. The eyes of all the nobles and foreign dignitaries in the ballroom were fixed on Irene and Crown Prince…

- Chapter 08 “Her Highness the Princess.” No words reached Irene’s ears. Her mind was simply in turmoil. All because of the condition that Fern V had just offered her. Ten minutes ago, in Fern V’s study. “Irene de Istana. If you refuse so stubbornly, I shall set one condition upon you.” “What is it, Your Majesty?” “Bring me a justifiable reason to refuse this marriage by the end of your birthday celebration. I will decide the fate of this marriage after reviewing…

- Chapter 07 "Let's give her a choice. What's the big deal about that, anyway?" "Duke!" "After all, there must already be candidates. So I think it would be permissible to at least give her the opportunity to choose among them. Don't you agree, Your Majesty?" "......" "Your Majesty. As the Duke says, if my marriage candidates are already decided, I believe it would be permissible to give me the opportunity to choose among them." "Be quiet, Madam!" There was a shout from Fern V…

- Chapter 06 "What do you mean, Your Highness?" "I'm asking how many of these you think I need to make my own." "Your Highness." "I've been studying the noble registry over the past few days, but I don't know all the nobles of the empire." "You even looked at the noble registry?" Ernst gave a wry smile at her words. Ernst's reaction to Irene's bitter smile seemed to suggest he regretted asking. But Irene didn't mind at all. It was true that the current Irene knew little about…

- Chapter 05 "May I give you my answer now, to what you said yesterday?" "Now?" "Yes, Your Highness." "Any time. I've been waiting for your answer since I gave you mine yesterday." "My answer is......" Ernst paused for a moment to catch his breath. He wasn't fully convinced that these words lingering on his lips would change his life from now on. Irene's expression as she watched him remained unchanged. "My answer is......" "Yes, Sir Ernst......?" Ernst approached where…
