Chapter 107 “I have no affection for the empire. I only want to protect the people precious to me.” Speaking in a flat tone that showed no need for thanks, Heros gave a small gesture telling Caron to go. Caron nodded and turned away. Thinking he should send Heros’s dog a chew toy someday, Caron quickened his steps. As he watched Caron’s back for a moment, Heros turned his gaze toward the Grand Duke. If that strange power near Quaidon attacked him, it’s probably the work of those Western…- 1.1 M • Completed
- Chapter 106 Etias read the contents of the letter I handed him with a hardened gaze. After a moment, he spoke in a cool voice. “The five allied nations of the Western Continent.” On the continent, there were more than a dozen countries sharing borders, and Oswell was one of the top five largest empires. The “five western nations” usually referred to these countries: Barzenka, Gran Orden, Idhelm, Ramis, and Chen. Among them, Barzenka and Gran Orden were great empires rivaling Oswell. The…

- Chapter 105 Was the reason the Duke and Duchess of Elemore raised Katrin without much discipline, letting her become arrogant and reckless, because of the doctor’s advice? ‘No, more than that… this is just me!’ Manager Kim, Etias… aren’t those exactly the kinds of things I would say? Then, did the day I possessed Katrin at the couple’s funeral really not be the first time? Since when? In reality, I was definitely me.Those memories weren’t fake. ‘No way.’ Suddenly, a dream came…

- Chapter 104 Piyo— “What about the gifts from the western nobles?” “Tell them I only accept their sentiment.” “And the matchmaking proposal from Gran Orden? The imperial family there asked if you would marry their crown prince.” “Where was that again? Send back a firm refusal.” Agnes, who was asking me these questions while I sat at the tea table enjoying refreshments, bowed her head at my reply. From her pocket, Piyo poked his head out, having decided that was his playground for…

- Chapter 103 Feeling my heart pounding, I looked at Etias. His voice followed. Soft, but spreading deeply into my heart. “…I like you, Katrin.” I looked at Etias with eyes that shook violently. It wasn’t a secret I couldn’t notice, but I had always shaken my head thinking it couldn’t be true. The huge truth I had tried so hard to deny now came crashing like a wave, leaving no escape. With deep eyes, Etias told me his feelings, his cheeks slightly red. “….” I couldn’t open my…

- Chapter 102 Astonishingly, the imperial veterinarian had said it seemed the Duke had been struck by a special power akin to Shadow Veil—a force only Etias should have been able to wield. Yet Etias had insisted he had never used such a power on the Duke.If another external threat existed, it would have to be identified. “Yes, I understand. In that case, I entrust His Grace to your care.” “I will make certain to restore him. But… apart from His Grace’s matter, I wished to discuss the funds I…

- Chapter 101 I gazed, somewhat dazed, at the appraiser, my eyes fixed on an exquisitely beautiful butterfly ornament crafted from rare jewels. At Etias’s command, the man had arrived bearing five entire boxes of jeweled pieces stacked beside him. “It may be worn as a brooch or fashioned into a pendant. If you tell me its intended use, I will have it made accordingly, my lady.” “How much… did you say this costs?” “One million den for each piece.” “…!” That meant this single…

- Chapter 100 Tea time with Agnes, the head maid. Heros was sitting next to me. Biyo was now sitting on Agnes’s shoulder. “Well, that’s how it happened. Elemore became the number one meritorious family, and I received the title of duke.” “Really, I’m so glad for you, my lady. We were all so worried you’d never come back.” I smiled, watching Agnes almost on the verge of tears. “Agnes, you don’t have to flatter me. I really cleared all your debts, and now you’re free.” “…My…

9. In Front of the Fountain (2) “Hey, Miss Bella. You must not understand the situation yet since you just got out of prison, but you should be grateful that I’m even talking to you. With the House of Kailas watching, who would dare meet you?” Hearing the name “House of Kailas” again after so long, even Bella’s forced smile disappeared. “Did Harriet… that woman… tell people to avoid me?” “The Duchess doesn’t seem interested in you, but everyone knows you’re her…- 1.8 M • Completed
- Chapter 99 “I proclaim the House of Elemore as the Empire’s Number One Meritorious Family.” After a storm had swept through the throne room, Etias declared this in the solemn silence. My heart was beating so hard it felt like it might burst. Number One Meritorious Family. Just as Etias said, anyone who couldn’t accept me would have to leave. The nobles who learned the truth about the Duke of Elemore all nodded in agreement. “Also, I grant the title of Duke of Elemore to Lady Katrin…
