Chapter 10 A short distance away from the village's bustling district, there was a low hill. If you wandered aimlessly past the low-hanging clouds and fog that shrouded the place, you would come across a small log cabin with a narrow attic on the second floor. I had been lost in thought for a while, looking over some papers, when I started walking, my footsteps crunching on the rustling leaves. Before long, I arrived at the cabin. I pushed open the creaking, lid-covered door. It was…- 1.1 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 09 'No choice.' The memory of Daniel's sticky gaze and voice from my dream flashed through my mind, and I unconsciously squeezed both eyes shut. I quickly crossed my arms over my body to block him. "No way!!" "......" Once again, a dark silence lingered. Daniel stood perfectly still without moving a muscle. Is he slowly savoring the other person's fear? What the hell, he's even scarier than Olf. Like a rat in a trap, my whole body trembled violently. Then,…

- Chapter 08 From behind, I heard Olf's sly, worldly laugh. "You think I'd be fooled twice? I saw you run away last time, did you really think I'd let you escape again? Heh heh." "Is this kind of coercion even allowed? I have absolutely no intention of becoming your wife, young master!" "Hah, that's exactly like you. But do you think your parents will feel the same way?" "I don't care what my parents think! If you don't let me go right this instant, you won't get away with it!" At my…

- Chapter 07 Today was the day of the second regular market held after the village, which had been devastated by the Dimension Gate, was reorganized. The Dimension Gate. A staple of the original novel's worldbuilding, opening gates to other dimensions and summoning random monsters. This was a world where the conflict never ceased between the dark mages and the anti-royalist faction who opened Dimension Gates at random, causing chaotic situations; the pro-royalist faction who protected the people…

- Chapter 06 At this point, it was clear she just didn't like my face. Well, whatever. This was my final moment with the novel's sub-male lead. I extended my hand first. "Thank you. For following my opinion for the first time. I suppose our connection ends here." Daniel's gaze slowly drifted to my hand. A sound like air leaking from between his lips escaped. "Shaking hands must be a habit of yours." Such a prickly person to the very end. I gave an awkward smile and lowered my hand.…

- Chapter 05 I had only slightly referenced the original story to get out of a tight spot, but I never imagined it would cause another problem. Still, it was a good thing I knew about the Benson family beforehand. If it had been any other woman, she would have been stripped bare and left for dead on the spot! If anything, they should be praising me and giving me a generous bonus. 'I'm not even hoping for a bonus. How am I going to dodge that suspicion again?' "You look rather…

- Chapter 04 Noblesse oblige. The moral obligation befitting a high social status. The very idea that, as nobles, they should consider the plight of the poor commoners. With everyone waiting solely for my answer, I lifted my head. And I directed my gaze solely at the Duke. Of course, a smile was a bonus. "Surprised, aren't you? The dish I brought is grilled goblin, Father." The Duke's startled eyes turned back to the food. Alyssa's face crumpled even more at the word 'goblin'. "Eww,…

- Chapter 03 I tried desperately to recall the novel, but aside from that one line, absolutely nothing else came to mind. 「"Alissa had remained holed up in her library, reading books, without ever dating a man since her debutante ball. It was because she was unpopular."」 But even that description made me doubt its reliability the moment I saw Alissa's face. Although she wore thick, flat-looking glasses, she was a girl with orange hair, and the freckles on her nose and cheeks were rather…

- Chapter 02 He broke free from his long reverie and carefully scrutinized me. Then, he furrowed his brow slightly. "Fine. If, as you say, you don't bat an eye in front of anyone, then a mere 80 gold is hardly a problem." My pupils dilated to their fullest extent. Being able to pay back 80 gold at once—I had to do whatever it took. "I'll do it, whatever it is, sir! Please, give me a chance!" The gentleman folded his arms and examined my appearance closely. From head to toe. Then,…

- Chapter 01 Two months before the wedding, on a particularly languid afternoon when the sunlight tickled my eyelids. The emblem of the Royal Order fluttered alongside the national flag all over the city, and the golden cross statue prominently placed in the center of the square was grandly proclaiming the prestige of mages. As I stared wide-eyed at the capital I was seeing for the first time, the carriage stopped in front of a large mansion, accompanied by the coachman's announcement of our…
