Chapter 55 Don’t Forget That I’m a Son of a B*tch “…Yes?” Countess Lumire blinked blankly. Damian didn’t miss the moment to scan her from head to toe, as if to say, how dare she meet his gaze. Realizing it too late, Countess Lumire lowered her head. “When I ask something, answer. Don’t ask back.” “…” “I clearly said I had an appointment with the young marchioness. And now I’m being made out to be some scoundrel fabricating nonsense.” As Damian let out a…- 880.0 K • Completed
Chapter 1 Someone opened their eyes amid a musty smell and an eerie atmosphere. Looking around, they saw humans dressed in black prostrating themselves on the floor, crying out. “Oh, great demon…!” Great demon? What was that supposed to mean? The creature who had opened its eyes looked around, then, driven by curiosity, began slowly crawling toward the humans. “Please descend upon this place!” What did “descend” mean? It was terribly curious, but perhaps because it was…- 2.0 M • Ongoing
Chapter 6 In my memories, he never once let me go. Even if I stopped breathing right in front of him, even if I fled to the farthest reaches of the world— Somehow, he would always find me and, without fail, imprison me tightly within his broad embrace. I want to die. Truly, I wanted to escape from him even if it meant dying... The thought that being alive was more horrifying than being dead kept me from falling asleep easily. I was lying buried in the soft bedding, sighing over and…- 1.6 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 54 Tactics “Yes?” Edelweiss tilted her head as if she truly didn’t understand what Countess Lumire meant. “It’s nothing. You’ll see soon enough. Don’t be too nervous.” Edelweiss nodded slightly. As expected, it seemed Countess Lumire had heard about the “limping woman” from the owner of Quentin House. ‘Rosemary, I’m really curious to see what you’ll do now.’ It was obvious Countess Lumire resented Rosemary and felt sympathy for Edelweiss. When…

- Chapter 53 Staged Act Rosemary glared at Countess Scherna for a long moment before finally speaking. “…You keep looking down on me, calling me a bastard again and again, but don’t you realize that nothing can change the fact that I have the Duke of Stern’s blood?” It seemed Rosemary’s temper flared just as much at the mention of her illegitimacy, so she fired back without backing down. “If you’re just talking about birth, my lineage is nobler than yours,…

- Chapter 52 Rosemary’s Rudeness The next day at noon, at the Marchioness of Blossomweaver’s residence. “Young Marchioness, I’m so sorry…” The daughter of the Marquess of Riche entered the drawing room with an awkward expression, apologizing. It was because Lady Scherna of Count Scherna was with her. “When I heard Chloe was visiting the Young Marchioness’s residence, I hurried to join her. I hope I’m not imposing?” “Not at all. I was actually wondering how to…

- Chapter 51 The Limping Woman “What’s all the fuss about?” Rosemary frowned, her irritation plain. “All the flowers in the garden have… have wilted!” “What?” Rosemary slammed the table and shouted. She bit her lip, then suddenly asked, her eyes wide, “Don’t tell me—the hyacinths too?” “Yes…” When Jane replied that even the hyacinths had wilted, Rosemary’s face twisted in shock. “The hyacinths were perfectly fine this morning—why all of a…

- Chapter 5 All I had wanted from Ian was a little bit of help. Even now, after recovering some of my memories, that hadn't changed. And yet, of all people, the one who had helped me turned out to be the heir who would one day rule this duchy. This is a little troublesome. Dant dressed me in a shimmering silk nightgown while continuing to chatter busily. “I actually overheard the conversation between the young master and the head butler earlier.” “What conversation?” “They…

- Chapter 4 The next partner was me. It wasn't welcome news, but I calmly accepted my fate. “You are going to become the god's consort.” His people welcomed me with bright smiles. “Go inside and tell him your name. If he calls you by that name again, you will stay here with him.” A month? Half a year? I obediently followed their instructions while wondering how long I might be able to remain there. “My name is Heine.” And I believed that, at the latest, our…

- Chapter 50 Weighing the Scales After Isabella’s funeral, Edelweiss heard that Rosemary’s visits to the imperial palace had become noticeably more frequent. ‘They say the Empress is introducing Rosemary at social gatherings.’ With Empress Roxanne’s help, Rosemary was steadily gaining influence. “Young Miss, a letter has arrived from the Duke of Stern.” The Marchioness of Blossomweaver had become so frail she could no longer manage affairs, so Edelweiss was handling things…
