Chapter 33 Today’s Special “…We’re really married.” “Huh?” “We’re truly married.” “…….” “We’re not a fake couple, are we?” The Grand Duke muttered in a low voice, just loud enough for me to hear. “The marriage contract is officially recognized by the temple.” “Ah… Right. The paperwork is real.” We had just agreed to end the marriage within a year, that’s all. Why is he adapting so fast? Not long ago, he was so serious about not…-

Chapter 61 When we returned to the hotel, Verity was squatting miserably in front of our room. When I looked at him as if asking "What are you doing?", he answered honestly. "Nema cried herself to sleep." "I felt bad staying beside a sleeping lady, so I came outside." "But there's another room." "You could've waited there." "I don't have the key..." "Ah." Ian took the spare room key out of his pocket. While Ian unlocked the other room, I quietly asked Verity, "What…-

Chapter 32 A Bittersweet Feeling “You’ll find it troublesome.” Honestly, though, this side of him was kind of cute too… I blew a puff of air at my bangs, making a show of it, and said, “Your Grace, it’s not like I’m suggesting we should share a room. Why do you keep blushing like that?” At the word share a room, the Grand Duke’s neck turned bright red. “D-don’t say things like that…” As he mumbled under his breath, I stepped in closer. “You don’t like…

Chapter 31 The Man Who Catches Attention “I heard you calling for Leon earlier. Was there something you needed?” “Oh, it was nothing important.” I tried to brush it off, thinking the conversation might drag on, but the Grand Duke’s gaze remained fixed on me. His eyes clearly demanded to hear the rest of the story. ‘Well, it makes sense for him to be curious about why I called his knight so late at night.’ In the end, I told him about the tomato stew recipe. As his suspicion…

Chapter 60 Before Verity started explaining, I warned him. "You'd better explain this carefully. Depending on what you're about to say, I'll have to decide whether to become a devoted daughter, attack an old man, become an ungrateful brat, or completely turn against my family." "Do you really think that depends on how well I explain it?" He began by explaining my ability. "The Clavis family possesses a power that is passed down through blood." "You mean... the power to open space?" Aunt…

Chapter 30 A Midnight Invitation “The Grand Duchess called for Leon? For what reason?” The air grew cold as the Grand Duke’s voice sank. Both Leon and Perel flinched, but Whitley remained calm as he replied. “She did not specify the reason.” “She only called for Leon?” ‘What about me?’ “That’s correct.” Reading Loic’s thoughts, Whitley gave a firm and almost cold response. “Then… should I go with the head Butler?” Leon hesitated, glancing at Loic,…

Chapter 59 By the time we arrived at Trans Station, the transfer station, it was already late at night. After getting off the train to change trains, our group walked to the next platform. Verity gently wiped the drool from the corner of Hebenia's mouth with a handkerchief while she slept soundly on Ian's back. "She's sleeping so deeply. Doesn't look like she'll wake up anytime soon." "Once she falls asleep, she sleeps so deeply that she wouldn't even notice if someone carried her. She was…

Chapter 29 A Surprise Gift (2) “Perel,” Loic said in a low voice. “You’ve become quite bold since the Grand Duchess arrived.” “…I will correct myself,” Perel responded. “I was just wondering if she got her clothes fitted properly today,” Loic added. “Huh? Do you mean Coutere? Did you really call them?” Perel, who was usually efficient and precise, had been making comments lately that made Loic clench his jaw. He had been the one pushing Loic to do this, and now…

Chapter 28 A Surprise Gift (1) ‘I don’t have to buy everything they brought, right?’ The jewels on each dress were obviously real, and judging by the luxurious fabric, the raw materials alone must have been expensive. ‘Wait, since the Grand Duke called Madame here, is he the one paying? Or is it coming from my personal funds?’ A cold sweat suddenly ran down my back. ‘I’m the Grand Duchess, yet I can’t even ask how much the dresses cost.’ “Your Highness, would you like…

Chapter 58 The notice we saw at the station. The large diamond-shaped lock engraved on the train. And the day we first visited the Deste Estate. “Those marks represent Clavis subsidiaries. The symbol of the Clavis family is a key, so every business or foundation related to them uses a lock as its emblem.” That was what Ian had told me. “The Clavis family was officially wiped out, so why are all of their subsidiaries still running so well?” I clearly remembered reading a newspaper…
