3. The First Night After their wedding, Harriet and Cedric went on their honeymoon to Uliden, a place famous as a resort destination. For Harriet, it was the first time in her life seeing the ocean. “Wow…!” On the way to the private beach right after unpacking, Harriet couldn’t say anything except gasp in amazement as she looked at the horizon outside the carriage window. It was completely different from a lake. There were no green trees wrapping around it, no swans or ducks…- 1.8 M • Completed
Chapter 93 “A letter from Aglia, you say.” Etias’ brow hardened, his expression cold. This was, without a doubt, treason. There was no familial loyalty left to expect from her, yet to see her struggle so pathetically to cling to power was nothing short of repulsive. “Unfortunately, the ink she used evaporates, so no evidence remains. And—” Heros glanced down at his immaculate fingertips as he spoke. “She also set a poisoned needle in the latch, meant to stab whoever opened it. Not that…- 1.1 M • Completed
- Chapter 92 “…This is…” I couldn’t hide my astonishment at the massive boulder before me, my eyes widening. Holding his hand, I climbed over the nearby rocks to stand atop it. Beneath the night’s shadow, the rock’s surface glowed faintly. Crouching, I blew away the dust and brushed my fingers across it. Rough… but with a unique feel. I remembered—I had a few pieces of jewelry made from this stored in my vault inside Biyo. Was it when I was eight years old? Katrin had once received a…

- Chapter 91 So there was a truth different from the one I knew. As I gazed into his blue eyes, feeling a little unsettled, the meeting room door opened again. Heros walked in, wearing an annoyed expression.He came to stand before us, glaring disapprovingly at Etias’ hand holding mine. Etias, unbothered, asked him: “What is it?” Finally, Heros spoke, reporting the situation outside. “Another nuisance has appeared.” …A nuisance? At his signal, I rose and stepped outside.There, I saw the…

- 2. Adam Hoffner’s Regret Adam, the second son of Baron Hoffner’s family, was a man with decent looks and a respectable background. Even by the harsh standards of the marriage market, he would easily score above average. But despite being twenty-seven years old, he had never proposed marriage to anyone, nor had anyone proposed to him. Until recently, everyone knew the reason. It was because of Bella Listerwell, the “Golden Rose of Genoa” and the first love of many men in high…

- 1. Edgar’s Spring Day About a month and a half before Cedric and Harriet’s wedding, Edgar’s father, Count Dawson, came to visit under the excuse of discussing business. They did meet occasionally for work, but that day felt different. The fact that he kept repeating a business discussion that had already been finished made it obvious. Cedric responded politely at first, but once the conversation dragged past twenty minutes, he cut him off. “ I think we’ve exchanged enough…

- Chapter 89 “Katrin.” His voice called my name. ‘I feel like I’ll lose my mind.’ All I could do was stare at him with stiff eyes. Soaked in water, yet looking like the model of a rain-drenched photoshoot, his handsome face and red lips were right in front of me. “….” A single drop of water slid down his sharp jawline. Seeing that drop fall snapped me out of my daze.It might have been just water from being wet, but it looked like a tear, and it made my chest ache. “Does it……

- Chapter 88 “Sob, what do we do…?” “There’s no way out.” Hours later, we had all gathered in the center of the village. Just a few hundred meters behind us, the monstrous flames licked the sky as though they would swallow the entire world. “That’s Grandpa’s tree…” A small child spoke sadly as they watched the tree at the village entrance burn.The child’s mother hugged and soothed them softly. The sight of the old tree being devoured by the massive fire made my chest ache as…

- Chapter 200 “Um… your name… I mean, how should we address you?” “Oh! How rude of me not to introduce myself first. My apologies. My name is Henry Jensen. I work as a footman for the House of Kailas.” “Ah, yes. Thank you, Mr. Jensen.” “Please feel free to call me Henry. If you’ll excuse me.” He smiled, then moved to stand near a pillar where he could be seen just by turning one’s head. Emma kept sneaking glances at him when Agnes, who had been watching quietly…
