Side Story 4 Seo-ah’s eyes went wide with disbelief. "Did you... did you actually have the driver turn the car around?" When Seo-ah asked, Taehyuk simply raised an eyebrow and shot Jin-won a look. By now, Jin-won was completely used to Taehyuk's behavior and just let out a tired sigh. "You really need to dial it back a bit. At this point, it's practically a clinical obsession." Taehyuk owned up to it without missing a beat. "You're right. I am obsessed." "Ha..." Feeling completely embarrassed,…-

Side Story 3 "Why not? Aw, Daddy's feelings are getting hurt." "I can't help it! When I grow up, I promised I'd marry Gyumin. So Gyumin has to hold me. You can just hold Mommy, Daddy." "Absolutely not," Taehyuk said firmly. "What do you mean, 'no'?" Su-bin asked, looking completely shocked. "I mean what I said. Daddy's never sending you off to get married. You, me, and Mommy are going to live together forever." "That makes no sense!" "Why doesn't it make sense? Daddy can't live without you.…

Side Story 2 "Su-bin wins first place today, Daddy!" At Su-bin's proud declaration, Taehyuk smiled adoringly at his daughter. "As expected! Our Su-bin takes first place every single day. Maybe you should be the one waking Mommy up from now on, huh?" "It's okay, though. Mommy and Daddy are always busy with work, so it's fine if she sleeps in a little bit. Right, Mommy?" Su-bin beamed at Seo-ah. Seo-ah smiled back warmly at her daughter before immediately shooting Taehyuk a sharp glare. Whose fault was…

Side Story 1 "Come on, time to wake up." Seo-ah pressed a sweet kiss to Taehyuk's cheek. Taehyuk, who seemed to be fast asleep, suddenly opened his arms and pulled her down against him. "Eek!" A tiny squeal escaped Seo-ah's lips, but it was quickly swallowed up against Taehyuk's bare chest. "What in the world... you were awake this whole time! Come on, get up. We need to eat breakfast." Taehyuk just buried his nose in her hair. "Honey." Seo-ah pushed gently against his broad shoulders. "I am…

Chapter 12 The First Meeting (1) I climbed the stairs to the third floor and slowly made my way toward the room at the far end of the hallway. The corridor was silent. My footsteps echoed heavily in the dark hallway where no light reached. It was colder here than on the second floor, and I couldn’t tell if it was because of the chill or my fear of the Duke’s reaction to an uninvited guest. I couldn’t help but shiver. ‘Why does this feel so familiar?’ Suddenly, a memory from my…-

Chapter 11 Just Wait! Norton took me to a place called “Goldrain” after I told him I wanted to explore the shopping district. “This is a new street that the Duke established when he was renovating the city. It’s currently the largest shopping area in the north. The road is decorated with gold, so everyone calls it Goldrain.” The decorative stones embedded in the road were clearly gold-colored. “There are several gold mines in the Blenheim Mountains. The leftover gold was used to coat…

Chapter 10 A Hard to Meet Face The next day, I walked toward the training grounds with a light step. “Finally, I’m going to meet the Grand Duke.” The day before, when Norton returned to the garden: “Sir Norton, I’ve got good news. I figured out where the Grand Duke’s room is—third floor, west wing, the far end. Am I right?” “…No.” “Liar. You hesitated.” Though Norton denied it outright, his delayed reaction gave him away. He eventually confessed, under the…

Chapter 09 Exploring the Unknown Knock, knock. “…” Creak. Most of the rooms in the main castle were locked. Even in the few open rooms, there were no real signs of activity. Occasionally, I’d run into maids cleaning. “…Your Grace.” The maids who encountered me while dusting curtains or sweeping floors greeted me with reserved and reluctant expressions. It was the usual reaction toward the daughter of a marquess. How many rooms had I checked by now? Knock,…

Chapter 08 Arrival As we got closer to the destination, Perel kept insisting that I switch carriages with him. It was true that arriving for the first time as the Grand Duchess in a beat-up rented cart was a bit embarrassing, even for me. Not to mention, calling it a carriage was embarrassing—it was actually a cart meant for transporting goods. And I picked the cheapest one at that, I thought to myself. Hedrick had muttered under his breath, “That pile of wood…” as he glanced at my…

Chapter 07 Spicy Tomato Stew “Ugh, so noisy.” From early dawn, the sound of clinking dishes and people bustling around traveled down the hallway and into my room. Listening to the guests arguing about departure times as they passed by, I sat up in bed. When I went downstairs to the dining room, the knights were already eating breakfast. The first knight I made eye contact with awkwardly stood up and bowed. “Greetings to the Grand Duchess.” At his words, all the knights rose from…
