~Chapter 23~ What? “I think you misspoke just now.” “Uh.” He looked thoroughly flustered. Seeing an adult so awkward because he thought I was mad felt strange and a bit fascinating. Looking up at that massive body—which somehow seemed less imposing today—I spoke clearly. “I’m not mad. I was surprised yesterday, but I wasn’t upset. I’m the one who’s sorry for yelling so rudely.” I bowed deeply from the waist. I could feel a prickling stare on the top of my head. Crash.…-

Chapter 06 An Unexpected Feast “What?” The Knights, who had been focused on their meal, paused mid-bite. I thought they were too busy eating to pay attention, but apparently, they had been listening to me all along. The atmosphere at the table instantly turned icy. “I’m joking. I didn’t mean to suggest I was spying on you.” Sensing the sharp gaze of Hedrick, who was silently chewing his meat, I quickly added, “I just thought you wouldn’t stay long in the capital.

~Chapter 14~ The maids stood in front of the east room as if in silent prayer. “…This feels strange,” murmured the maid opening the door. The east room—The most prestigious room in the castle, in the best location. “Wait, I’m about to cry again…” “Don’t… You’ll make me cry too.” One maid tilted her head back, pinching the bridge of her nose. Hazel’s eyes also blinked damply. It was a child’s room. A space the duke and duchess had decorated themselves. “My goodness,…

Chapter 43 A Delicious Picture Milo and his wife were passing through Goldrain. They were on their way back home after selling the wool they had gathered over the winter. “How about we stop to eat?” Milo asked his wife. They had left early in the morning, but it had taken longer than expected to negotiate prices. If they had gone straight home now, they would have missed mealtime completely. “I am feeling a bit hungry,” His wife replied, glancing around with a hesitant…

~Chapter 29~ Making a barrier with Uncle to protect this place! “I want to take swordsmanship lessons!” Uncle’s eyes widened like he’d heard something completely unexpected. “What?” “I’m going to learn sword fighting! I’ll become super strong too! Isn’t that what northern men are like?” Uncle frowned, looking reluctant.“Well… I guess?” I didn’t notice his expression because a good idea had popped into my head. ‘If I join the knights, it won’t be strange if I go…

~Chapter 16~ As the sun set and darkness fell, the smell of delicious food filled the whole castle. “Oh my, this is something. It’s like a completely different place now.” “Butler Adolf!” I ran toward Adolf as he entered the dining room. “What about Uncle? Is he here yet?” “He’s on his way down now. But… is it really okay for everyone to do this together…?” I pulled the signed paper from my pocket. “It’s fine. I already got the Duke’s…

Chapter 21 I was still learning how to read, so I couldn’t make out everything. But as I pieced together the letters written in a straight line, it looked like a name. “Lil… Lian? No, Liliana?” “No!” Dedrick, startled, reached out to grab the paper in my hand, but I quickly pulled my arm back. I looked up at him with a mischievous grin as his face turned red. “Is this my name? Are you giving me a name?” “Uh, well…” He scratched his neck, avoiding my persistent gaze. He…-

Chapter 76 Everyone there had attempted to speak to Dedrick at least once. Soon, Dedrick appeared at the picnic spot. The maids, itching to acknowledge him, gazed at him with burning anticipation. Dedrick’s expression grew even colder under their stares. “Come on over, Dedrick. I wanted to celebrate your mission with the Black Hawk, so I arranged this gathering. We didn’t get to properly congratulate you back then.” Delani greeted Dedrick with a sickeningly sweet smile, naturally…

~Chapter 11~ “Uh…” His eyes widened a little when he saw me. His smooth lips twitched slightly, and then he leaned to whisper to the attendant beside him. “Hey.” “Yes, young master.” “…Something feels weird with her here.” Even with his hand over his mouth, I could hear it all. ‘So, the new stone is bothering him!’ If I want to adapt here safely, I need to get along with him too! I swallowed nervously. ‘Of course, I have my ultimate item.’ I had prepared something…
