Chapter 156 I Thought You Might Need Some Help (3) Marianne, Gabriel, and Bernard had all been expecting something, to some degree. Brigitte’s hands, weaving three dishes to completion simultaneously, had been beautiful enough to watch. “How is it possible for it to taste like this…” “It was definitely frozen, wasn’t it?” But none of them had imagined it would be like this. It was shocking. And understandably so — there is a saying that for seafood dishes such as these,…- 2.8 M • Completed
- Chapter 35 Cola Just Helped (2) “Miss Penelope, I want to refuse the investments.” “All of these?” “All of them.” A firm statement. Penelope, who’d been running around since morning gathering investment proposals until her shoes were soaked with sweat, felt hurt. Actually, she was a bit sulky too. “You said you needed more funding.” Cola was a very promising business even now. It had a powerful narrative riding the Bellaby-social circles trend, and the taste itself was…

- Chapter 34 Cola Just Helped (1) Cola was released to the market. The price was 2 pence per 355ml bottle. It could be purchased at the Cola Wholesale Direct Sales Location at the warehouse branch near Nortaris Central Station, with a purchase limit of 100 bottles per person. Social circles where the upper classes mingled were quick with rumors. Though there was variation in timing, social circles had anticipated ‘mass production of Cola’ even before the factory was built. From around that time,…

Chapter 10 "Hmm, excuse me…… Bright Young Lady?" "……." Silence is the best pressure tactic. As I wordlessly stared at the orange-haired young lady, she rolled her eyes guiltily. "I'm sorry. I know it's hard to forgive me. But at the time, I had no choice." The orange-haired girl, who had been hesitating and gauging my reaction, cautiously opened her mouth. "People's hearts don't always do what we want, right? I had a really hard time too. I'm sorry for hurting you,…- 2.6 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 09 Just what kind of life had the Bright Young Lady lived? As I gazed at the portrait with a complicated expression, lost in an indescribable feeling, I sensed someone's presence. "Ah, Your Grace the Duke." I tried to pretend I hadn't noticed, but Sophie went ahead and greeted him. Unable to avoid it, I turned my head and saw the Duke of Bright. "Hello." Like it or not, he was a duke of the empire, so I at least observed formalities and bowed my head to him. "Hmm, good…

- **Chapter 08 "Didn't she have anyone to help her?" With a family like the Brights, surely they could have found her good friends or a proper chaperone from an early age? At my question, the Crown Prince gave a bitter smile. "Unfortunately, the Marquess Bright's daughter had no one. Those who claimed to be her friends were busy using her, and the high society veterans with hardened bones treated her as prey." "I see……." "The greenhouse flower, starved for affection, couldn't…

Chapter 30 “High Priest, a moment.” One of the priests secretly called for Feiden. Feiden, who had been busy bestowing meaningless blessings, hid his irritation and turned around. The priest’s green eyes fell on Dekiel standing not far away. ‘He just exchanged words with Ian like a greeting, saying he’d aim for victory this time.’ Dekiel seemed to have no intention of participating in the hunting festival, merely waiting for him with a face full of composure, shrugging his…- 1.6 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 07 "……If it's not too forward." I fidgeted nervously with my teacup amidst all the turmoil in my mind, then cautiously opened my mouth. "Could I hear about the Marquess Bright's daughter?" From what I'd experienced so far, I understood that the Bright Young Lady was extremely disliked by the people of the capital. But no matter how I thought about it, I couldn't understand why. The Bright family was a prestigious house of the empire, and the Duke and Marquess were famous…

- Chapter 29 “It must have been a lot of work preparing everything.” Ian praised Dekiel’s efforts while surveying the forest of the Viente duchy. “Brother… even the High Priest said he’s never seen a hunting festival prepared so perfectly.” “It’s all thanks to your careful oversight.” The young duke was deliberately modest, lowering himself. And he quietly gazed at Ian’s chest. “You must have been busy. Both you and your fiancée.” Ian opened his eyes wide,…

- Chapter 06 "Ha." What great eyesight. I was so surprised that a strange sound escaped me. He was the first person since I'd arrived in the capital to recognize that I wasn't the Bright Young Lady. The fact that there was at least one person with properly functioning eyes brought a wave of both gratitude and sorrow. "What do you mean……." The clerk looked visibly flustered, glancing back and forth between the young beauty and me. She had just been about to arbitrarily declare me the…
