~Chapter 19~ “Crazy guy…” “You’d have to be at least a little crazy to be a member of Cedric Kailas’ secret organization, wouldn’t you? Hmm… It’s still such a thrilling word, ‘secret agent.’” “Please, enough…” Cedric felt a shiver down his spine from second-hand embarrassment. His friend, Edgar, might look like a carefree playboy, but he was incredibly smart and quick-witted. Sending him to the Kingdom of Kandia as a spy under the guise of studying abroad had seemed…-

~Chapter 18~ The fear that had once felt like standing on the edge of a cliff was completely forgotten. Self-pity was a luxury she couldn’t afford anymore. Her goal was no longer just about surviving. She felt that the only way she could go on living was by avenging her family, including herself. Someone once said that if a person is tormenting you for no reason, you should give them a reason to do so. “A scandal maker? Fine. If they’re going to call me that, I’ll become a real scandal…

~Chapter 17~ “Oh… Has the news already spread?” “It’s become quite a topic of discussion.” But just as she began to wonder why this had led to a visit from a complete stranger, Alfonso spoke with a displeased expression. “After hearing that Viscount Listerwell ended his guardianship over you at the convent, it confirmed a suspicion I’ve had for a long time.” “What? What do you mean…?” “I was one of the people who went boating at Albrecht Park nine years…

~Chapter 16~ Since she had been labeled a troublemaker, no one would criticize John for ending his guardianship. ‘Did he plan all this when he blamed me for Bella’s actions too?’ Harriet felt completely deceived. She looked around in disbelief and frustration, letting out a breath of anger. Then, she threw the gold jewelry she had been holding onto the bed and rushed out of the room. She headed straight for the chapel. Because the days were shorter now, candles were already lit in the…

~Chapter 15~ No matter how much she thought about it, such a thing couldn’t be true. James wasn’t that kind of person. In the past five years, he hadn’t once looked at any woman besides Daphne. He was always kind, polite, and never hesitated when it came to imagining a future together. “I… I trust James. There must be some misunderstanding.” Daphne’s response, which seemed more like she was avoiding reality, made Melody sigh with sympathy. “I hope that’s the case too, but…”…

~Chapter 14~ “Whenever Bella went to the masquerade, she wore a mask that covered most of her face and dressed in a way that didn’t reveal much skin. And when she met the men she seduced in the garden, she always wore a robe.” The men, who had touched and even kissed Bella, wanted to see her again in the bright sunlight, but Bella, who only desired a night of pleasure and the valuable information those men held, rejected their advances. And during those times, Harriet served as the perfect cover…

~Chapter 13~ “I agree.” “I thought she was much better than the other guests.” With her companions also supporting her, Cathrine felt at ease and called for Harriet. Harriet, who had been planning to go to the soap workshop after breakfast, found herself sitting in front of Cathrine and Agnes without knowing why. “Sister, thank you for your hard work in the soap workshop. We appreciate your dedication.” “Oh, it was nothing.” Harriet’s humble response lacked the “looking…

~Chapter 12~ And then he left. Bella didn’t miss the sneer that lingered at the end of his words. “Did he just mock me?” She wanted to believe she was being oversensitive, that he didn’t mean it that way, but no matter how many times she thought about it, she reached the same frustrating conclusion. Cedric knew about the Listerwell family’s intentions in sending Harriet to the convent. He also knew that Bella’s attempt to speak with him was merely a side act of that. On top of…

~Chapter 11~ The fact that his twin brother had been chosen by the princess and made into a duke was the most painful thing for Benedict. “Damn luncheon…!” Every time he thought about it, his teeth clenched. The luncheons hosted regularly by the Empress every quarter were boring events where one had to agree with the idle chatter of the older ladies. Benedict, who had gone with his mother a few times and ended up completely exhausted, generously passed this task to his younger brother,…

~Chapter 10~ At my uncle’s house, I always carried stomach medicine with me. I constantly had diarrhea or constipation, and it was normal for me to have gas or stomach pains, so I just accepted it as part of life. But since coming to the monastery, except for the first few days, I haven’t had any stomach discomfort at all. ‘Why is that? Is it really because this place is blessed by God?’ Even though I didn’t believe in miracles, I couldn’t help but wonder. As I thought about it…
