Chapter 11 "It's not stubbornness. I'm saying this because I truly believe I can do it." "Fine. Let's say I help you meet Duke Whistler somehow. The Duke is very different from me. If something irritates him, he might just slit your throat on the spot, you know?" It was frustrating that he didn't seem to consider even the possibility of her succeeding, but Alosha decided to understand the losses he could see as a merchant group head. "Alright. Then help me for just one month. If I die before that,…-

Chapter 16 What had been in those eyes looking at me was actually resentment. After my mother and father passed away, he turned his arrows of resentment toward me. *'You killed them. You killed my daughter-in-law and my son... you killed them. You should have died too! Then I could have at least forgotten!'* So I couldn't bring myself to completely hate him. "But it seems my words aren't being heard. I've gone to Viscount Muteso several times, but I've only been given orders to comply…-

Chapter 18 "Are you... Duke Whistler?" The host cautiously asked the man, who looked like he'd never even held a kitchen knife, let alone a sword—a man who didn't seem to be 188cm, nor even 180cm for that matter. "I apologize. Duke Whistler was delayed due to a busy schedule. I am Crawler, the Duke's proxy." "Pardon? But the participant themselves must be present for this auction..." "Please don't worry too much. He said he would attend before the event ends, so please continue with…

Chapter 42 The Outsourced Job ‘So that’s the kind of expression he makes when it’s just the two of them.’ Perel observed his lord leaning in close to the duchess in a manner he had never seen before, clumsily fitting his bulky frame into a tiny chair. “Sir Perel!” The duchess spotted him and waved with a smile. At her words, the Duke, Loic, slowly turned his head toward Perel with an expressionless look only Perel could read, muttering under his breath: “You’re back…-

Chapter 64 Jin-won straightened his back. "I want to drop the charges." "What...? Are you..." "Is that possible?" When Seo-ah—the victim herself—stated that she didn't want any punishment, Go-eun and Seung-hee were released from the police station right away. But Seung-hee vanished like the wind shortly after, and Go-eun's family went completely bankrupt, leaving behind nothing but mountain-high debts. According to Jin-soo, Go-eun was buried so deep in debt that she actually begged to be sent to…

Chapter 1 One Year Later in Blenheim Wow. The visitors entering the exhibition hall were stunned. They were nobles from the capital visiting the Northern region to attend the Imperial Exhibition held in Blenheim. The sunlight streaming through the glass dome gently illuminated the massive columns and delicate sculptures inside the exhibition hall. Luxurious exhibits from merchants and workshops across the Empire filled the space. The visitors looked around, constantly gasping in…

Chapter 40 The Whisper of the Devil Jed had just cut off Yuren’s head. Before it even hit the ground, Ferda shot a magical arrow, blowing it apart. “Ugh!” Jed instinctively covered his face, worried that some pieces might land in his mouth. He shouted at Ferda, “Why did you blow up the head like that?!” Ferda calmly wiped the blood from his cheek with his thumb. “We need to be sure.” “Is it really necessary for a confirmation kill? Just separating the head from the body…-

Chapter 67 A Sudden Blow It was the same at the perfume shop we entered next. “You know how it is—if you stay on Her Highness’s good side, your business will thrive.” ‘Saying that out loud right now is probably just making things worse…’ But the baron was so eager, wiping sweat from his forehead and trying hard, that it felt awkward to stop him. “What are you waiting for? Go and assist Her Highness.” So the shopkeeper reluctantly introduced a few perfumes to me. None…

~Chapter 43~ As expected, the Duke of Kylas’s estate was overwhelmingly grand. While the Count of Pellon’s mansion was no small place, this was on an entirely different scale—almost worthy of being called a palace. At the end of the day, it’s still just a house people live in. Harriet tried to calm her nerves before they got the better of her. When the carriage arrived at the entrance, a footman with striking looks approached and politely offered his escort. “Lady Listerwell’s…-

Chapter 19 Alisis waved her hand with exaggerated gestures and shrugged. As if to show that her actions so far had been a joke, Lodia eventually let out a hollow laugh. Then, Alisis grinned at her and headed off in another direction, and only then did Lodia breathe a sigh of relief. Histein, who had bowed toward his superior's retreating back, looked at Lodia as soon as he straightened up. "Are you alright? Her Excellency can be quite playful." "I'm fine. She just seems a little…-
