~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 54 The Grand Duchess’s Generosity “How much is the debt?” The Grand Duchess’s voice echoed through the dark street, making the man blink in confusion. Unexpectedly, it had been difficult to collect from the young sisters who were repaying their father’s gambling debt. Every time someone went to collect, rough-looking men in the neighborhood would block their path. To avoid the hassle, they’d shown up earlier than usual, late at night when most men were at the…-

~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 12 As if refusing to allow even the slightest warmth, Taehyuk spoke coldly. Before long, unbuttoning his shirt, Taehyuk turned toward Seo-ah. “Let’s stop wasting time with things neither of us wants to do. Let's just each get what we want. How about it?” Things neither of us wants to do. Those words lodged themselves in Seo-ah’s heart like a piece of ice. It was a heart that had been filled with Taehyuk’s warmth just a tiny bit over the past few days. Through the hole pierced by…-

Chapter 58 The Grand Duchess’s Visit That child—it was the same one whose runny nose I wiped at Marie’s inn. As the child tried to run toward me, a young man standing behind quickly grabbed him. “Artis, you have to stay still.” “No! I wanna go!” The child squirmed, trying to break free. “It’s okay. Come here.” I crouched down and gestured with my hand. The child immediately ran over and hugged me tightly. “Goddess!” “I told you, I’m not a goddess.…

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…
