Chapter 17 “So that’s how it is.” The Crown Prince raised one eyebrow in displeasure. “Even more insignificant than I expected.” Then, without hesitation, he turned his gaze away from Anais. “……” Only then did Anais finally relax and let out a faint breath. Feder, on the other hand, had already lost interest in the conversation. She was merely a little irritating. As expected, there was nothing particularly special about her. Watching him, Diego raised an eyebrow…- 836.0 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 19 It wasn’t because the Grand Duke carried such warmth that she was so shaken. It was because the heart that had always been cold only when she was around him was slowly growing warm. Yet she couldn’t clearly understand why. “……” In the end, Anais decided not to dig any deeper into her feelings and simply leave them buried. Their marriage had a fixed term, after all. And if things continued as they were, she would eventually die. At the hands of that very gentle man. With such…

- Chapter 16 In order to adapt to high society and increase her value in the marriage market, Anais had been given an intensive education in everything she needed to know. Anais spoke confidently. “Dancing is essential if you want to survive at parties like these while letting the time pass.” With a bright smile, she took the lead. When the Grand Duke moved toward her as though he were about to step on her foot again, she skillfully avoided him and said, “Not that way. This…

- Chapter 15 White wine went down more smoothly than red wine. Switching glasses had been the Grand Duke’s consideration for her. Anais gave him the words she naturally ought to say. “……Thank you.” “You’re welcome.” The Grand Duke replied lightly. The two of them treated each other naturally, as though they had planned it beforehand. They acted as if the kiss from earlier had never happened. Even the glances they would have exchanged repeatedly before were now carefully…

- Chapter 14 Diego deliberately increased the distance between the High Priest and Anais. Soon afterward, the High Priest began reading the Marriage Scripture. “Lord Diego Lisandro and Lady Anais Orelsian, do you swear before God that, as husband and wife, you will understand and care for one another and walk together along the same path?” Deinos looked directly at the two of them with his vivid golden eyes. “I swear.” “Yes.” “……With this, I declare that the two of you…

- Chapter 13 As the silence stretched on, the Emperor raised one eyebrow in displeasure. Diego noticed and gave him the answer he wanted. “……I shall obey your command.” It was a little late, but it was not a bad response. The Emperor, whose judgment had grown dull with age, decided that Diego had understood his place. He then spoke again, intending to tighten his hold over Diego. “It is medicine. I have prepared more than enough, so take it with you.” At the Emperor’s gesture, a…

- Chapter 12 Anais tilted her head in confusion. Was there another form of address we needed to settle? She already called him “Grand Duke.” Even after becoming the Grand Duchess, there was no reason she couldn’t continue calling him that. However, at his next words, Anais froze. “Diego. Please call me by my name.” “……” “I think it would be more appropriate both in accordance with His Majesty’s decree and for us to appear to be a close married couple.” He…

- Chapter 11 “Let’s just focus on surviving without dying.” The complicated thoughts in Anais’s head suddenly became clear. Thanks to that, there was no hesitation in her steps. She headed straight for the dining room. Just as the servant had said, the Grand Duke was there. “Ah, Miss Anais.” Looking startled, he hurriedly rose from his seat. Creeeak. The chair the Grand Duke had been sitting in scraped against the floor. The loud noise echoed through the quiet room, yet for…

Chapter 51 The energetic shouts of knights and the sharp, rhythmic clashing of sword against sword echoed from outside. Against this lively yet fierce background, Alosha sat on a plush sofa inside the Knight Commander’s office. Sitting opposite her with a face full of worry was Alexis. He was examining Alosha’s face with extreme care, as if gazing at a fragile glass ornament. “Your face looks a bit pale. Are you sleeping properly? How about meals? Is the food at the Duke’s mansion not to…- 1.5 M • Ongoing
Chapter 17 'Why is it so quiet?' Kylerus suddenly realized that his surroundings were far too silent. Every tutor who had been chased out before had caused a commotion. No one had ever withdrawn so quietly after being kicked out like this. They would either pound loudly on the closed door or run to his uncle and threaten to quit immediately. 'Gasp.' At the thought that suddenly struck him, Kylerus's tear-filled eyes widened. 'What if the teacher says she wants to quit too?' Why…- 1.3 M • Ongoing
