Chapter 57 After Reston left, the Count of Rotheroa visited Aileen's room. It was the first time since Aileen had come to Rotheroa. Aileen received the Count in the small sitting room attached to her quarters. “……You're not lacking for anything, are you?” The Count of Rotheroa's lips twitched. It was lamentable that this was all he could manage to say at this moment, but it was the Count's best effort. Aileen stared at the Count with indifferent eyes. Not once during her time here…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
Chapter 73 Sparks of Passion A short while ago, the Grand Duke called me in to tell me the outcome of the punishment for the criminals. “I remember you said you’d handle it yourself, but…” He hesitated, then told me they had found out who was behind it. I thought for sure he’d name the head maid. But the name that came out of his mouth was, unexpectedly, “Is the person you had in mind the daughter of Count Avoir?” “Lady Meisel?” When I asked how he figured it out,…- 3.0 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 56 Aileen clenched her fists. Her heart pounded heavily. She felt suffocated by the silence emanating from the Crown Prince and the Duke of Chesskant. “……It's not a bad method.” As soon as Crown Prince Christon's words fell, Aileen let out a breath that was almost a sigh. “However, for that to be possible, we'll also need the cooperation of the Count of Rotheroa.” Crown Prince Christon turned his gaze to Reston. “That shouldn't be difficult. He may not be good…

- Chapter 72 Wounds Cut by Words This wasn’t removing the head maid’s title in name, but it clearly meant that from now on Bennet would handle all the actual duties of the position. Marzella, however, couldn’t find the right words to protest. The Duchess had just told her she was still the head maid. But the authority of her title had already crumbled. The “Zella’s Parlor” that she had spent years improving — saving budget to replace the leather on the sofas, changing the…

- Chapter 55 Aileen thought about what she could do. *‘Think of me as your guardian angel, Aileen.’* It was the first kind word she had heard since her mother passed away after she was born into this world. It wasn't as if everyone in the countryside was simple and pure. After Spelrin became a nouveau riche, only people coveting his money gathered around Aileen. Their sweet words meant to soothe Aileen were different. Rozel was the first genuine comfort Aileen had ever…

- Chapter 71 Transfer of Power I hadn’t abandoned my plan to keep a low profile in Blenheim and eventually leave quietly, but that didn’t mean I would just stand still and let someone attack me. Up until now, I had made an effort to let the head maid, Marzella, keep at least some dignity. It was a kind of respect for someone who had worked here for many years and risen to the position of head maid. But now she had gone so far as to shamelessly plot something that disgraced the household she…

Chapter 40 “Have you been well?” I greeted her politely. “Yes, thanks to you, Your Highness. How have you been lately?” Cassia asked carefully, her eyes full of concern. I tilted my head, thinking about what had happened recently in the Marquis family. “Yes, I’m glad my brother was proven innocent.” “Oh, that false accusation.” Cassia repeated the words with a meaningful tone. I noticed how her expression changed quickly. It told me she wasn’t truly worried. “Did…- 518.4 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 39 The sweet winter vacation had ended, and we returned to Aster. We never found the beast that had appeared in front of me. Maybe that’s why Leon seemed to be in a bad mood when we left Palanuvo. Aster greeted us with even harsher cold. “Can I stay in Palanuvo this winter?” As soon as I got off the carriage, I asked Leon. He laughed awkwardly but never actually said yes. We hurried into the castle. Thankfully, the heating magic tools had been activated inside, so it…

- Chapter 38 ‘Am I crazy? What am I even doing right now?’ I tried to lower my hand, but it froze midair, and my expression stiffened too. Even Leon, who had been smiling, lost the expression on his face. His eyes gleamed strangely as he looked at me. Leon slowly moved closer to my face. Even blinking felt difficult. A suffocating heat surrounded me all at once, and hot breaths escaped from my lips. Not wanting him to notice my ragged breathing, I held my breath. My heart was already out of…

- Chapter 37 “Wow…” Palanuvo made me let out a natural gasp. It wasn’t just the heat and humidity hitting my skin the moment we arrived. The blazing sun, the beautiful scenery, and the lively people—everything was enough to make anyone gasp in awe. I looked around and raised my hand to block the sunlight. “Bell-bell, what’s that trash? It’s gross.” Leon pointed at the bracelet on my wrist. I had hidden it under my dress sleeve, but when I raised my hand to shield my eyes, it…
