Chapter 56 However, I wasn't particularly bothered that I had revealed my secret. I've never treated it like a secret anyway. I had always openly told people about it. After all, it was much more efficient to tell them in advance than to have them find out later and think I was strange. That way I can always say, "See? I already told you!" But no matter how many times I said it... Not a single person believed me. Well... how could they? Even I have trouble believing it. "..." I stood…- 1.9 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 55 Nema and I moved to a small resting area outside the training grounds. She doesn't seem to be injured... As we walked side by side, I carefully checked her body for any wounds. Thankfully, she didn't seem seriously hurt. Did she awaken as a Berserker? Just like Verity said... Had she lost her reason and gone on a rampage? If it was because of the conversation we had that day... Feeling guilty, I lowered my eyes. ...Huh? Something felt strange. Her hands are empty. The…

Chapter 24 Meeting the Knights (1) “Ninety-nine… handkerchiefs?” “Yes, I’ll be formally meeting the knights tomorrow, and I’d like to give them a gift.” Everyone around was stunned. While Leon and Norton seemed touched, the tailor shop staff looked more like they were in shock. Madam’s expression became troubled. “In just one day… that might be difficult.” I knew it. Making that many by hand in such a short time was unrealistic. “But a handkerchief is the most…- 3.0 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 23 A Large Order ‘Sigh, am I crazy?’ Loic secretly sighed as he met the Grand Duchess’s gaze. The first thought that came to his mind when he saw her pout was, “Cute.” ‘But it’s true that she’s incredibly cute.’ The strange thing would be not finding her adorable after seeing that expression. In the end, Loic felt the need to justify himself and confessed the truth. “Tomorrow, the entire knight order has training, so I’ll be at the training grounds all…

- Chapter 54 “Ian, look at this.” Inside the bucket Ian pulled up from the well was a small wooden box. It was old, but it had been kept in good condition. Looking closer, I saw that the joints had been tightly sealed with candle wax. We carried the box to the village hall. I took out the office knife that had been carelessly shoved into the pencil holder on the desk and carefully scraped off the wax seal. Then the lid opened. Inside the box were a train ticket, a letter, and a ring…

- Chapter 22 Resolution Loic ordered the kitchen to use plenty of fruit in all desserts. Fruits were rare in Blenheim during winter. Still, the head chef seemed determined to fulfill the duke’s first request. Desserts from the following day were laden with fruit, almost too much. Loic, who had started paying special attention to desserts, quickly noticed the change. Everything was like that. Things that he had never given much thought to before suddenly became real when the young woman…

- Chapter 21 It Bothers Me (2) In the afternoon, the Grand Duke had a full schedule, so I couldn’t disturb him any longer. ‘Maybe I should write a letter to Ferdinand?’ Even if Ferdinand wasn’t happy to receive my letter, I had at least to thank him for the expensive gift he sent me. Not that I expected him to reply. ‘Come to think of it, the Marquis has been quiet.’ Maybe he didn’t care about his unrecognized daughter running away. The Marquis’ family hadn’t sent any…

- Chapter 20 It Bothers Me (1) The next morning, as usual, I knocked on the Grand Duke’s door. The only difference from yesterday was that there was no loud crashing sound in response to my knock. Instead, it was as if the Grand Duke had been waiting right by the door—he opened it instantly, without a sound. “Good morning, Your Grace!” “Good… morning.” It seemed he had slept well. His skin looked smooth and radiant. His neatly combed hair revealed his flawless forehead and…

- Chapter 19 A Midnight Surprise I crossed my arms and said, “I won’t leave this room until Your Grace lies down in bed. I don’t care if the servants misunderstand.” “……!” “But if you do as I say, I’ll leave right away.” “I refuse.” “Are you saying you don’t want me to leave?” “Don’t play word games.” “Then hurry and lie down.” I smiled and persistently stared at the Grand Duke. “Why are you so…

- Chapter 18 Strategy After finishing my meal, I borrowed a few books from the library with Whitley’s help. Unlike before, Whitley didn’t keep his distance from me. Judging by his actions, it was clear that he was one of the few people who knew about the Duke’s curse. He also seemed to have been informed that the curse didn’t affect me. Did he feel some kind of comradeship because we shared a secret? Thanks to Whitley actively sharing information with me, I was able to…
