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…- 1.9 M • Ongoing
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,…- 3.0 M • Ongoing
- 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…

- Chapter 27 Getting the Recipe “I-I’m sorry, Your Grace! I thought the room was empty!” The maid had entered, carrying a tray with a water jug and cups. “Leave it and go.” “Y-yes!” Startled by his cold tone, the maid quickly placed the tray on the bedside table and rushed out. After all the effort he had put into scolding the Grand Duchess about not visiting him at night… And now, he had been caught watching her sleep. How pathetic. At least the maid had seen them…

- Chapter 26 The Effects of an All-Nighter As soon as I returned to the castle, I asked Perel for a list of the knights’ names. Since I had already decided to put in effort, I thought it would be best to write the name cards myself. Even if the gifts were all the same, receiving one with your own name on it would feel more special. If I call out their names while handing out the gifts, it’ll make a stronger impression too. Looking back now, it was an incredibly reckless decision. Writing…

- Chapter 57 “Just changing our hair color makes us look like completely different people.” With the elegant uniforms that Nema had made, we looked exactly like a group from a powerful noble family. I was curiously admiring my reflection in the window when Verity revealed something surprising. “Pex modified the magic tools.” “Uncle did?” “This magic tool can avoid detection from other tracking magic tools. We already tested it in the village. As expected from a former magic…

- Chapter 25 Meeting the Knights (2) “It’s nice to meet you.” The Grand Duchess smiled warmly as she handed out small packages. “It’s an honor to meet you.” With his face flushed red, Theor bent his knee slightly, accepted the package, and stepped back. “Sir Hassel.” “Yes! Your Highness!” At the call of his name, the knight Hassel quickly stepped forward. Meanwhile, Loic used his tall height to sneak a peek into the basket. Each neatly wrapped package had a…
