Chapter 58 When Dedrick flinched, I patted the back of his hand. “Don’t worry, The Grand Duke’s wife won’t investigate you.” If she got caught doing that, she would have to face the Empress. Delani didn’t want that. Even if she found Perez annoying for supporting Dedrick, she wouldn’t dare make enemies with the Empress. But if her plans kept failing, who knows? The Emperor was supporting the First Prince right now. So, it wasn’t impossible for her to reach out to him. For…-

Chapter 71 Marilyn struggled to catch her breath, her fingers weakly tapping against his chin before falling limply. She smiled faintly, reassuring him. “I think… I can bear it.” Even as her breaths grew fainter, Marilyn smiled brightly—but it was clear how fragile she was. “So… don’t blame yourself too much. This isn’t your fault, Didi.” At her gentle comfort, Dedrick buried his face in her palm and sobbed. The guilt of failing to protect her strangled him. “I…-

~Chapter 24~ I headed to the forge with the Grand Duke. His hobby was weapon development. Drawing blueprints himself, commissioning their creation, and then testing the completed products—this was his only real pastime. ‘Well, since many of them actually went into mass production, I guess it’s not just a hobby.’ One of House Jebert’s main businesses was the weapons trade. The high-quality minerals mined from the territory’s surrounding mountains were famous across the continent. ‘The…-

Chapter 23 Early in the morning, Joanna woke up from bed. No matter how comfortable the room was, she couldn’t sleep well whenever she came here. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she frowned. “Ugh… so annoying.” Although she couldn’t show it in front of the Blackwood family, Joanna disliked Somerset, who was always showing off in front of her. He was chatty and greedy, and she hated that he was a man wrapped around his mother’s skirts. “The whole engagement must be something…

Chapter 45 “Why are you suddenly saying such pretty things?” As I wondered, I suddenly remembered how Dedrick had been more hurt than me when he heard about my past. ‘…He was worried about me.’ Because I was abandoned due to my horn, which absorbed blood during the war. ‘He wanted to make sure I didn’t hate myself. He wanted to show me that my horn is more beautiful than anything else.’ Like a gift, he had come to me with a rose. “Didi…” Feeling touched, I softly…

Chapter 72 Dedrick and I sat across from each other, looking completely cleaned up, as if nothing had happened. “Now it’s time to deal with the mess we’ve made.” “I shouldn’t have…” “Hey! We agreed not to blame ourselves! I would have done the same if I were you. And besides, I’m really grateful to you, Didi!” “Mm…” Afraid of the reactions outside, neither of us had stepped out of the room yet. So before leaving, we were putting our heads together, trying to…

~Chapter 28~ Ch. 4 ‘Humming…?’ Morris Lilton, former vice-captain of the Jebert Knights and now steward of the annex, frowned at the old duke’s strange behavior over the past few days. “Hm hm hm~.” Balok Jebert, the man said to scare birds right out of the sky, was humming early in the morning. Even wiggling his hips a little. ‘His leg seems to be in better condition somehow.’ Morris quietly set the tea down on the table. ‘Was Ruby-an’s ointment really that effective?’ If…

Chapter 49 Is there such a thing as being naturally drawn to something without even trying? Just then, Joanna arrived and greeted Dedrick. “Lord Dedrick, it’s been a while.” My eyes briefly met Dedrick’s in midair. We had already decided what to do if Joanna spoke to him. Our plan was… “…Please don’t talk to me. I don’t want to be scolded by my brother, Somerset.” How pathetic! Unlike his usual stiff way of speaking, he mumbled and looked around nervously,…

Chapter 51 I listened carefully to the voices of the nobles. “Was Young Lord Dedrick close with the Second Prince?” “They look so friendly…” “Did I perhaps insult Young Lord Dedrick before?” Among people Dedrick’s age, the most influential figure was undoubtedly the Second Prince. The Second Prince liked talented people and wasn’t kind to just anyone. Since he looked close to Dedrick, everyone was busy thinking. Was Dedrick really that capable? Should they start…

Chapter 46 Even though it was about him, Dedrick seemed indifferent. “You won’t get in trouble just for wearing a formal outfit, right? Let’s ask the Grand Duke for one!” “No.” “Then I have no choice! I’ll secretly get one and put it on you while you’re sleeping!” “…….” “So just wear it, okay? I’ll take care of everything!” “Then… make sure it’s loose.” “……Why?” What is he planning? Dedrick answered in a small voice under my…
