Chapter 13 I pulled myself together again. Right now, saving the child who had been unfairly separated from her mother was far more important than my childish jealousy and worries. "Big Sister Libby, Aunt Dallis, you heard everything, right? We're heading home now. We'll call again once we enter the forest." With tears in her voice, Aunt Dallis pleaded desperately. "I'll protect her with my life." Ian answered in a firm, reassuring voice. The video call ended. I slowly turned toâŠ-

Chapter 12 As we carefully opened the door... A chilling cold filled the room. It was a lonely little room with nothing but an old bed and a worn-out wardrobe. Aunt Dallis' young daughter was sleeping on the old bed, curled up tightly beneath a single thin blanket. It was obvious she hadn't been cared for properly. Her hair was tangled into a mess. The joints of her fingers and even her heels were dry and covered in white, cracked skin. Verity quietly muttered, "Baron Deste should alsoâŠ

Chapter 11 "I can sense a Demon's presence. Hmm..." Verity kept clicking his tongue in annoyance, clearly displeased by something. 'Looks like Baron Deste made a contract with a Demon in the worst possible way.' It was shocking enough that Baron Deste, who was supposed to be dead, was actually alive. But he had even made a contract with a Demon. He definitely didn't seem like husband material. "Is summoning a Demon really that easy?" "What an insulting thing toâŠ

Chapter 10 Hebenia looked at the owner of the herb shop and asked, "So, Sister-in-law, these herbs are really expensive, right?" "They're legendary herbs that people say went extinct. These are worth whatever price you ask." The herb shop owner put on his reading glasses, which hung from a string around his neck, and moved his abacus. "So, this is the price." "...Shouldn't we be the ones naming the price since we're selling them?" Hebenia frowned and stared at the abacus. "Veriâ no,âŠ

Chapter 9 The Deste territory was right next to the exile settlement. 'That's really suspicious.' My instincts immediately told me something was wrong. 'If we visit the Deste territory, maybe we'll find out more. Like the real reason the exile family was framed...' Now I knew that the exile family had been falsely accused. But was the entire country really willing to go this far just to make them mine ore? 'That alone doesn't make sense.' Before leaving the Primeval Forest, I calledâŠ

Chapter 012 âYou dareâŠ!â Facing the unwavering blue eyes staring at him, Somerset faltered for a moment, stepping back instinctively. This gave Dedrick just enough time to barely dodge Somersetâs reckless swings. A sharp breeze brushed past Somersetâs neck, sending a chill down his spine. âIf he had learned swordsmanshipâŠâ The reason Dedrick hadnât learned to wield a sword was simple: Delani had stopped him. Using his small and weak body as an excuse, Delani hadâŠ-

Chapter 011 âHey, youâre here?â ââŠâŠâ Dedrick had always feared that mocking smile. But this time, it was different. I can do this. As he thought of the girl, the trembling in his body subsided. âI thought weâd spar for the first time in a while.â Under the guise of sparring, Somerset had always abused Dedrick. âIt was just sparring, wasnât it?â If Somerset taunted him with that excuse, Dedrick knew he couldnât argue back. âWhat are you waiting for?âŠ

Chapter 010 An awkward silence filled in the air, so I decided to change the subject. Gripping my pen firmly, I looked at my notebook and asked, âDidi, how do you write âHave a lot of moneyâ?â He smiled slightly and wrote the words in my notebook. âWhat about âBe happyâ?â âLike this.â He wrote it next to âHave a lot of moneyâ. I carefully copied what he wrote, adding his name, and handed it to him. âI hope youâll be happy, Didi.â ââŠâŠ.â ThoughâŠ

Chapter 009 Though his clenched fist trembled slightly, but Dedrick conveyed his point clearly. I found it so admirable. I thought he would take more time, but again, Dedrick was the type of male lead who could pick up ten new skills from a single lesson. He was an example of unbalanced talent. When he glanced at me, I clapped my hands lightly. âYou did great!â Encouraged by my praise, Dedrick continued speaking slowly but steadily. âHow could I have stolen your book, brother?âŠ

Chapter 008 Seeing the girlâs bright smile, Dedrick felt a strange tickling sensation in his chest. It tickled so much that he couldnât help but rub his chest for no reason. ââŠJust me?â âYeah, only you, Didi. I approached you with a very sly and devious planâto survive. Didi, youâre going to become such an amazing person that youâll easily be able to save me.â For someone claiming to have approached with devious intentions, she looked unbelievably soft and harmless, leavingâŠ
