Chapter 16: It snapped Altair decided to go on a solo expedition to the Rembrew Territory to catch the dragon, despite everyone’s opposition. When the departure was scheduled three days later, Aylesford Castle was filled with a strangely chaotic atmosphere. Altair seemed to be the only calm one. The knights who had to send their captain away alone, as well as Pavel and Anna, could not hide their worries, and Nadia too was in agony. What did Altair mean by asking her to worry about him more…- 1.6 M • Ongoing
~Chapter 90~ “Hello! Starting today, I’ll be assisting Your Highness the Princess. My name is Melona Divot! Please call me Melona.” It was after lunch, when I was feeling sleepy. An assistant named Melona came into my room and introduced herself. “Are you the assistant Richard assigned to me?” “Yes, that’s right!” But Melona looked at most eighteen—a young girl. Maybe it was her curly silver hair and her big, round glasses. She was also a bit short, which made her seem even…- 1.2 M • Completed
- ~Chapter 89~ After a few days, when I reopened the counseling shop, it was packed with old clients and new people wanting to make appointments. I had prepared myself, thinking I would have to deal with the jealousy and envy of all the ladies who once liked Richard. I had counseled many girls who liked Richard, but now I was his fiancée… But my guess was completely wrong. “Congratulations, Miss Amelie!” “You two really look good together! How is life in the imperial city?” Even the…

- ~Chapter 88~ Bastian checked the sharp edge of the sword before sliding it back into its scabbard. The sword fit perfectly. It was hard to believe he’d used it for so many years—it was still in great condition. He brushed the handle a few times with his thumb, as if recalling the past, then handed the sword to Lysa. “Are you really sure it’s okay to give this to me?” Lysa stood awkwardly, holding the sword, and asked Bastian. She had always dreamed of this sword since she was young,…

- ~Chapter 87~ “Why has the chief servant of the Empress’s palace come…?” I pressed close to the door and asked cautiously. From the moment I entered the imperial palace, I had been preparing myself for the inevitable confrontation with the Empress—but this was far too soon. And since my engagement had been done in such a snatched, underhanded way, it was obvious what mood the Empress would be in. “I have come to pay respects to Lady Amelie.” But instead of a maid’s voice, I heard the…

- ~Chapter 86~ Nine silver coins were shining on the table. The silver-haired man looked unhappy about the small starting bet, but Wudian smiled and checked his cards. “Tsk. I’m out for this round,” said the young count’s son sitting to Wudian’s right. Maybe his cards were really bad, because he leaned back in his chair, giving up. Then the silver-haired man, the third son of Marquis Norman, threw ten silver coins onto the table. “I’ll raise the bet. Is this too much?” He…

- ~Chapter 85~ “Eh? What do you mean by that?” I asked right away. If we don’t set a time limit, then when will we break off the engagement? Since this isn’t a real engagement, there has to be an end. “I mean it just like I said. The engagement period isn’t set. It will stay valid until we both agree to end it.” “Is there a reason you don’t want to set a time?” “I’m planning to send Wudian Montorre back to his own country, but if he hears you broke off the engagement, he…

- ~Chapter 84~ The engagement ceremony was simple. Richard and I read aloud the engagement vows and signed them. Then Bastian, as the emperor’s representative and joint witness, confirmed and sealed them. After that, Richard and I exchanged the engagement rings he had shown me before. “Do you know, Lady Amelie? The ring you’re wearing is actually a treasure of the imperial family.” “What?!” Right after we exchanged rings, Bastian whispered that it was once the engagement ring of the former…

- ~Chapter 83~ “…That’s how it happened.” I finished my story nervously. After getting permission for the engagement from Baron Garnet, Lysa came right away when I called her. The last scandal was nothing compared to this. When I tried to talk about the contract engagement, my fingertips were wet with cold sweat, and my breath got stuck in my throat. Even though I forced myself to speak calmly, inside, my feelings were already tangled and complicated. Lysa widened her eyes and then quickly…

- ~Chapter 82~ I stared at Richard with wide eyes after he dropped that bombshell. But the person who actually said it was calmly meeting Baron Garnet’s gaze. “Did Your Highness just say you like Amelie?” Baron Garnet’s expression twisted as if he’d just heard nonsense. Of course—he knew Richard used to despise me, so it was natural he found it strange. Even I, who had watched Richard’s change up close, was shocked by his words. “Yes, I like her. Ah—of course, I mean as a…
