~Chapter 27~ “She seems to have her own plans, so I’m watching with interest,” Trisha said, smiling widely, which was rare for her. Though they didn’t interact often, Cedric had always seen Trisha with a blank or slightly irritable expression. Seeing her this happy was the first time he could recall such a moment. “It seems you’ve taken a liking to Miss Harriet.” At those words, Trisha’s smile disappeared, and she put on a slightly cold expression, as if embarrassed to have been…- 1.8 M • Completed
- ~Chapter 26~ “You need to choose the evening dress quickly. It takes some time to make one.” Once again, the waiting staff quickly opened the style book for her. Even Harriet, who was waving her hand dismissively, saying it was too much, found her eyes naturally drawn to the elaborate dress illustrations. “You know, there’s that style young ladies like these days. It’s the one with multiple layers of pleated chiffon.” “Oh, that dress? It does take a lot of work, so it’s…

- ~Chapter 25~ “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Harriet. I’ll show you to your room.” “Thank you.” “Please, you don’t need to be so formal. Would you like your meal brought to your room, or would you prefer to dine in the dining room?” “You can bring it to my roo—huh?” “Understood. I’ll carry your bags for you.” The kind maid picked up the bags from the floor and led the way. Harriet had already glanced around when following the butler earlier, but the Pellon…

- ~Chapter 24~ At Trisha’s words, Harriet’s expression changed slightly. “If you’re talking about life at my uncle’s house, yes, I did go through some hardship.” There was almost a boldness in Harriet’s response, and Trisha let out a small chuckle. As expected, her grandniece was not an ordinary person. ‘She seemed quite smart, even as a child.’ Trisha still remembered the time 13 years ago when Arthur’s family came to visit her sick husband. Back then, Arthur and Lillian…

- ~Chapter 23~ Moreover, in her bag was the “Guardian Assignment Notice,” which officially stated that Countess Pellon was now her guardian. So, what did she have to fear? Harriet was lost in memories of the past year she had spent at the convent when someone knocked on the door. “Sister, have you packed your things?” “Oh, Emma!” Harriet welcomed Emma, who had come to get her, with delight. On her first day at the convent, Emma had seemed so cold, but now Harriet found her endearing…

- ~Chapter 22~ The letter said it wasn’t too late, even now, and that if he just apologized to her father, she would forgive everything. “People who haven’t lost something never admit it even after it’s been taken from them. Well, if she keeps acting foolish like that, it’s good for me.” Suddenly, Harriet came to mind. Even after her uncle drowned and her father inherited the Listerwell title, Harriet didn’t realize her true position for quite some time. She would naturally try to sit…

- ~Chapter 21~ “You can’t read all of them, which is why I’m sorting them like this, isn’t it?” Usually, everything was delivered to Trisha, but the amount of mail during the year-end holidays was simply too overwhelming. Therefore, anything from familiar names was sent to Trisha, while Andre checked letters from unfamiliar names first. Only those deemed worthy of Trisha’s attention were then delivered to her. As Andre, the experienced butler, was quickly sorting through the stack of…

- ~Chapter 20~ Harriet was the first to speak. Cedric carefully studied her, looking at her in disbelief, as her appearance didn’t resemble that of a noblewoman at all. It wasn’t until Harriet’s patience was wearing thin that he finally opened his mouth to speak. “I’ve heard the news.” “What news?” She asked, even though she already knew. Instead of responding directly, Cedric said something entirely different. “It wasn’t my intention, but I feel some responsibility for…

- ~Chapter 19~ “Crazy guy…” “You’d have to be at least a little crazy to be a member of Cedric Kailas’ secret organization, wouldn’t you? Hmm… It’s still such a thrilling word, ‘secret agent.’” “Please, enough…” Cedric felt a shiver down his spine from second-hand embarrassment. His friend, Edgar, might look like a carefree playboy, but he was incredibly smart and quick-witted. Sending him to the Kingdom of Kandia as a spy under the guise of studying abroad had seemed…

Chapter 75 Olive reported every miracle Hebenia had shown. Especially the teleportation he had experienced himself. He explained it as logically as possible, almost like he was presenting a paper at an academic conference. When he finally finished— "Ah." The Holy King barely managed to say that one word. "Um... ah... hmm..." "Your Holiness?" "Ah... well... first of all, I'm relieved that Young Lady Clavis is safe." The Holy King cleared his throat. "Being sentenced to exile through…- 1.9 M • Ongoing
