~Chapter 68~ “Revenge?” “Yes! I really want to see that man fall in front of everyone.” Albert clenched his teeth as he thought of Cedric, who had openly looked down on him and his father ever since becoming a duke. ‘He thinks he’s some kind of noble, untouchable ice flower? I’ll make sure everyone sees he’s just a flawed human like the rest of us. I’ll make it happen!’ With Angelique on his side, Albert believed it wouldn’t be difficult to make that happen. A sinister…- 1.8 M • Completed
- ~Chapter 67~ Plop, clatter clatter… A candy that had been tucked between Harriet’s rosary beads rolled across the floor of the carriage. She had packed it earlier to snack on during the ride. ‘Seriously? Why now of all times?’ And of course, the sound it made as it rolled was unreasonably loud. When Harriet glanced sideways, she saw that Cedric was already looking at her. “Ahaha… a candy fell.” She forced a smile and awkwardly stood to pick it up. She had just grabbed…

- ~Chapter 66~ “The Duke says he’ll give you a ride back, Sister Harriet.” “Huh? Me? He’s offering me a seat in the Duke’s carriage?” “There’s plenty of room—after all, I’m riding alone.” It was certainly a generous offer. Harriet had been worrying whether staying another day would make Trisha anxious. But the idea of sitting just the two of them, in a small space, for several hours made her feel uneasy. ‘And it’s not like I can refuse in this…

- ~Chapter 65~ At the beginning of the business, Catherine felt guilty that those who served God were also making money. She even lost sleep, worrying that they might be using God for profit. But when they were able to welcome the orphans from Epere with open arms, when they could pay the monks and nuns even a small amount for their hard work, and when they could double their meal services to the poor from once to twice a week, Catherine’s perspective changed. “This must be the answer to my…

- ~Chapter 64~ “Have you been well, Emma?” “Of course! Everyone’s been doing well. It’s all thanks to you, Sister Harriet!” Harriet waved her hand, embarrassed by the praise. She knew it wasn’t just her doing. The convent, which used to look worn-down, now looked clean and organized—clearly thanks to increased income. And perhaps it was just her imagination, but there seemed to be a new sense of energy in the air. Then she realized: ‘Oh! The children from the Epère…

- ~Chapter 63~ “You’re here, Uncle. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.” “No worries. It’s been a while since I had a peaceful break. Ha ha!” Benedict responded kindly to Cedric, even though he had been kept waiting for thirty minutes. Of course, his real thoughts were quite different. ‘How dare he make his uncle wait? Arrogant brat.’ For someone of Cedric’s rank, letting an unannounced guest wait half an hour—especially during the busy year-end season—was practically…

- ~Chapter 62~ “Of course. In Bella’s world, any young lady from a house with equal rank is automatically beneath her.” Viviana clenched her teeth. She had sensed something strange about Bella for a while, but brushed it off as her own misunderstanding. After hearing Harriet’s explanation, she realized it wasn’t a misunderstanding—it had been her instincts warning her. “Unbelievable.” “Actually… there’s already a rumor going around,” Harriet continued. “They say…

- ~Chapter 61~ The low winter sun slanted through the windows, casting warm light across the cold air, as if trying to melt it. How long had they sat like that, in quiet waiting, under that pale golden glow? “Miss Harriet, I want to apologize.” “Miss Viviana…?” When Harriet turned around, she saw Viviana biting her lip, her brow furrowed. “That party where everyone blamed you… the place I stood that day felt strangely familiar. And I realized, you were usually the one standing…

- ~Chapter 60~ The tea table Harriet had prepared by the sunny window was beautifully decorated. There was a vase filled with red berries and green pine branches, pretty teacups, delicious desserts covered with glass domes, and other cozy touches. Unlike the larger tea party she had hosted before—which had felt more like planning an event and focused on formality—today’s setting was smaller and filled with Harriet’s personal taste. She couldn’t remember the last time she had enjoyed…

- ~Chapter 59~ Harriet was now a popular guest at Annabel Leighton’s tea parties and gatherings. At this one, themed “The Mood of Autumn”, Annabel had seated Harriet close to her. “Isn’t the weather lovely these days? The breeze is refreshing, and the falling leaves feel so romantic.” “You really have to be careful during spring bloom and this season. You might fall in love with just anyone.” Everyone laughed at the joke. Warm tea and delicious pastries made the girls’…
