Chapter 39 The Fake Saintess The Emperor personally sent a congratulatory message for the birth of the new Saintess. All the nobles and important figures of the Empire sent expensive gifts to celebrate Annette’s birth. They also sent countless invitations, eager to see the baby, who couldn’t even open her eyes properly yet.

Chapter 38 The Villainous Companion For the next four days, I stayed in my room to recover. Honestly, I felt fine as soon as I woke up, but my doctor, Hosen, kept fussing over me multiple times a day, so I had no choice but to act weak. If the Grand Duke hadn’t visited me every morning and evening to keep me company, I would have died of boredom. I felt a little guilty seeing him so worried, but I liked how much effort he was putting in to take care of me, so I pretended not to…

Chapter 37 A Selfish Decision “Is she really okay?” Loic ran a hand over his face, looking worried. “Aside from a bit of anemia, there are no serious issues,” the doctor, Hosen, answered nervously. Despite working at the Grand Duke’s castle for nearly a year, this was his first time seeing the Grand Duke up close. Usually, his job was to treat knights returning from battle, not to care for the lord and lady of the castle. Thanks to the Grand Duchess’s collapse, he finally had a…

Chapter 63 According to Ian, my method had one major flaw—it gave the enemy a chance to fight back. "If they still have even a little consciousness left, they can counterattack. You have to kill them instantly so they don't get the chance to do anything." I nodded at his serious advice. He's completely right. There wasn't a single flaw in his reasoning. But with my ability, isn't this already my limit? All I can do is open and close things... Even while thinking about it, we continued…-

Chapter 36 Nursing “Your name is Morina? Try drawing something here.” Morina seemed surprised for a moment, but as Whitley brought her paper and a pen, she quickly started sketching the tea set on the table. It was clear she wasn’t lying about her drawing skills. In just a short moment, her small hands became completely absorbed in her world. Her young face quickly took on the determined look of an artist. Her eyes held a passion so strong that she would steal paper just to…

Chapter 62 Ian and I stood in front of the entrance. Ian reached out and touched the door. Unlike when Verity had tried, his hand wasn't pushed away. Click. As he turned the doorknob, the rusty hinges groaned, revealing a dark passage inside. Unlike the crumbling exterior, the inside had smooth cement walls and a staircase leading underground. "Both of you." Verity spoke. "Come back safely." "Yes!" "We'll be back." I answered cheerfully. Ian replied as calmly as always. Then…

Chapter 35 Hierarchy In situations like this, taking control from the start is important. There was no need to listen to everything she had to say. “You are the head maid. Your job is to manage the maids under my command, not to challenge my authority.” “I’m sorry, Your Highness. I would never dare—” “When I speak, you stay silent. The only person in this castle who is allowed to interrupt me is the Grand Duke himself.” “…I understand.” “Good. Now leave.” The…

Chapter 34 The Thief “Who sent you as a spy?” “A s-spy? No! I swear I’m not! I just…” ‘Wait, is he really about to stab her?’ The sharp tip of a sword was pressed against the girl’s throat. ‘Why is he acting so aggressively all of a sudden?’ Norton was never the kindest knight, but I’d never seen him this intense before. He was completely focused on protecting the castle, and it seemed like he was ready to kill the girl at any moment. I quickly reached out and…

Chapter 33 Today’s Special “…We’re really married.” “Huh?” “We’re truly married.” “…….” “We’re not a fake couple, are we?” The Grand Duke muttered in a low voice, just loud enough for me to hear. “The marriage contract is officially recognized by the temple.” “Ah… Right. The paperwork is real.” We had just agreed to end the marriage within a year, that’s all. Why is he adapting so fast? Not long ago, he was so serious about not…

Chapter 61 When we returned to the hotel, Verity was squatting miserably in front of our room. When I looked at him as if asking "What are you doing?", he answered honestly. "Nema cried herself to sleep." "I felt bad staying beside a sleeping lady, so I came outside." "But there's another room." "You could've waited there." "I don't have the key..." "Ah." Ian took the spare room key out of his pocket. While Ian unlocked the other room, I quietly asked Verity, "What…
