Chapter 37 The village chief’s house was old, but incredibly tidy. Despite the walls being made of mud, which should easily shed dust, not a speck could be seen on any of the furniture. It spoke volumes about how diligent the mistress of the house must be. Matching the neat home, she wore her hair tied up tightly in a single bun, and though her clothes were worn, they were freshly laundered and neat. Donghee sat on a wooden stool without a backrest, provided by the chief, and took a sip of a strange…- 2.7 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 36 Originally, Donghee had planned to return to the castle right away and begin experimenting with komo wood and Tie stones. However, she changed her mind. Seeing how happy the children were to receive clothes reminded her of the children trembling in the cold in other places too. She had heard that the other three villages, aside from the two, were located further south, around Grace Castle, and thus were slightly warmer. It wasn’t a vast land, so the temperature difference wouldn’t be…

- Chapter 35 “I’m breaking off the engagement. I’ve already told Rey.” “Ohhh! Dear heavens! Thank you so much!” Scrooge threw both arms into the air, staring up at the suffocating ceiling, and burst into a fierce declaration of faith. Poor Scrooge, he’s truly been blessed today. Now, first things first—I had to get that money back from him. Donghee narrowed her eyes and combed through the ledger Scrooge had painstakingly updated, tears and all. “Stop thanking God already. Anyone…

- Chapter 34 Even after kicking out that gigolo-looking bastard, Donghee’s anger hadn’t subsided. What infuriated her the most wasn’t him. It was her—Chloe Grace’s foolishness, blindly giving everything to a man who so obviously deceived her. If Chloe were in front of her now, she would’ve smacked her upside the head. “So stupid,” Donghee muttered, her voice sharp with barely restrained emotion. “I’m sorry, my lady!” Anna, who had been standing nervously by Chloe’s side,…

Chapter 40 “You foolish boy.” “My lady….” Heros’s brown eyes trembled pitifully. If he didn’t have such a strikingly handsome face, this wouldn’t feel so burdensome. “Don’t look at me like that. I’ll really leave you behind.” At those words, Heros lowered his trembling eyelashes. Growling in threat, I pulled harder on the vine wrapped around Heros’s neck to loosen it. “Damn it, I never thought Father was growing something like this.” Let me explain…- 1.1 M • Completed
- Chapter 39 “……?” I stared intently at Etias, who had turned his gaze away. From his slightly parted lips, ragged breaths escaped. “Are you really sick?” His ears and cheeks were still flushed red. My heart sank with worry. “Did you… not take your pneumonia medicine?” I had ensured ample supplies were sent to the revolutionary army through the poor relief hospital. Could it have been insufficient? “Why are you breathing like this? Please, look at me for a…

- Chapter 38 “The families that bought business rights are selling off their estates to pay the balance.” At Heros’s words, I let out a quiet laugh. I could clearly imagine the faces of those imperial faction nobles, their eyes reddened with greed. “They probably had fevers and foggy minds from the Ret flu, so some who bought under the mood might have regretted it once they got home.” “That’s why you took half the payment upfront so they couldn’t cancel the contracts.” I nodded…

- Chapter 37 Struggling against harsh reality to realise his ideals, only to leave this world without enjoying the joy of victory – that was my favourite character. Seeing him in person after being reincarnated into the novel made it impossible to take my eyes off him. Enduring countless humiliations as a puppet prince, unable to enjoy even the bare necessities, carrying all burdens alone. Yet the unwavering flame burning in his chest was so dazzling. Even without the letter I saw after…

- Chapter 36 “Business rights that will bring in enormous money?” “Hmm… I wonder what’s so enormous about them.” Seeing the greed lighting up in the nobles’ eyes at my words, I knew they had taken the bait. “For example, with the Lyle Silk fabric business rights, you could produce the brooch that’s currently trending among noble ladies and earn a fortune.” Soon, it would be revealed that Lyle Silk causes sneezing, and a boycott against it would begin. “The Oris tree…

- Chapter 35 Etias and Philios Etias walked up to Philios and stopped in front of him. Philios, with both arms bound by the guards, reeked heavily of alcohol. “Ha! The Emperor was so touched by that… but I ended up in prison because of it.” Etias’s lips moved slightly. “What was loaded onto my carriage?” “Katrin Elemoer loaded a bunch of poorhouse flyers onto it. Hiccup.” Though Philios’s words were slurred with drunkenness, he was stating the clear truth of what…
