Chapter 20 It Bothers Me (1) The next morning, as usual, I knocked on the Grand Duke’s door. The only difference from yesterday was that there was no loud crashing sound in response to my knock. Instead, it was as if the Grand Duke had been waiting right by the door—he opened it instantly, without a sound. “Good morning, Your Grace!” “Good… morning.” It seemed he had slept well. His skin looked smooth and radiant. His neatly combed hair revealed his flawless forehead and…-

Chapter 016 It wasn’t exactly a funny comment, but Dedrick didn’t seem upset. In fact, he looked rather pleased. “So, you know about the Duchess and my mother, right…?” “I know.” I didn’t bother hiding it. Anyone who had been here long enough would know about that incident. And even if they didn’t, I’d already seen everything in the novel. “…I’m scared of the Duchess.” “Me too. Who would’ve thought she’d put anti-theft magic on the keepsakes? She’s a…-

~Chapter 25~ “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Harriet. I’ll show you to your room.” “Thank you.” “Please, you don’t need to be so formal. Would you like your meal brought to your room, or would you prefer to dine in the dining room?” “You can bring it to my roo—huh?” “Understood. I’ll carry your bags for you.” The kind maid picked up the bags from the floor and led the way. Harriet had already glanced around when following the butler earlier, but the Pellon…-

Chapter 17 Acting Like a Married Couple Knock, knock. Early in the morning, I knocked on the Grand Duke’s door. “Your Grace?” No answer. Just as I was about to knock again, I heard a loud noise from inside—thud!—and then the door suddenly swung open. Standing there, looking slightly flustered, was the Grand Duke. He was dressed in a shirt and vest, with his cravat hanging loosely around his neck. “Lady?” “Good morning, Your Grace! By the way, weren’t you going to…

~Chapter 3~ “It’s because of the victory festival. Bear with it.” “Ughhh… It’s too much!” Honestly, even in my past life, I couldn’t stand noisy places. And the Arcadia Magic Kingdom where I grew up was home to fewer than three thousand people—a place about as lively as a monastery… So the chaos of the imperial capital was way too overwhelming for me! I felt more drained than when I’d run into those dark beasts. “You should work on building up your stamina first.” Gasp! I…-

Chapter 26 The Effects of an All-Nighter As soon as I returned to the castle, I asked Perel for a list of the knights’ names. Since I had already decided to put in effort, I thought it would be best to write the name cards myself. Even if the gifts were all the same, receiving one with your own name on it would feel more special. If I call out their names while handing out the gifts, it’ll make a stronger impression too. Looking back now, it was an incredibly reckless decision. Writing…

Chapter 30 A Midnight Invitation “The Grand Duchess called for Leon? For what reason?” The air grew cold as the Grand Duke’s voice sank. Both Leon and Perel flinched, but Whitley remained calm as he replied. “She did not specify the reason.” “She only called for Leon?” ‘What about me?’ “That’s correct.” Reading Loic’s thoughts, Whitley gave a firm and almost cold response. “Then… should I go with the head Butler?” Leon hesitated, glancing at Loic,…

Chapter 29 Seo-ah backed away, but Taehyuk kept closing the distance between them. She had poured so much of herself into getting away from him, yet Taehyuk managed to erase seven whole years in just three short steps. "W-What are you talking about?" "I came for my kid." His words hit her with chilling clarity, making her heart drop right into her stomach. "W-What do you mean? I lost the baby back then. You know that." "No, I don't." Taehyuk's brow furrowed. "I couldn't verify it because you ran…-

Chapter 59 Seo-ah turned back toward him, her voice crystal clear and radiating a sub-zero chill. He hadn't moved an inch. "No." "Would you actually listen to me if I got down on my knees?" His words made Seo-ah's eyes quiver in disbelief. This man... kneeling in front of me? His tall frame, his crisp, immaculate appearance, the disciplined yet graceful air of a trained soldier, and those dark eyes locking squarely onto hers—she hated all of it. She hated the idea of him showing weakness in front of…
