~Chapter 28~ “What are you talking about? Why won’t you accept this document?” John had rushed to Perillas that very day and barely managed to meet the bank manager just before the bank closed. But as soon as he felt relieved, the manager of Aceti Bank refused to accept the ownership transfer document. “To change the ownership, we need to confirm the return of the land first. And the person whose name is on the document must come in person to sign the return confirmation, as long as…-

Chapter 25 I manipulated Dedrick from the side. “Just say you brought the wrong book. You were trying to bring another one but made a mistake, and now you’re going to put it back.” “It was just a mistake. I was going to put it back,” Dedrick repeated exactly what I said, and Joanna, showing clear disappointment, drooped her shoulders. “Ah, I see.” Joanna, fiddling with the fairytale book, nervously spoke to him. “Don’t put it back. Read it, it’s really fun!” “No,…-

~Chapter 2~ “No, I don’t need it.” And just like that, I was rejected.So cleanly that I was left speechless. “Ughhh…” “Ugh?” Leviathan lightly tapped my lips. “I thought you were quiet, but you’re a foul-mouthed kid. You fooled me.” His deep purple eyes stared straight at me. When I pouted, he somehow softened his gaze. “I don’t get what you’re saying all of a sudden, youngest.” “Hah…” Well, maybe I was too hasty.To Leviathan, I was just a kid he met a few…-

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 19 A Midnight Surprise I crossed my arms and said, “I won’t leave this room until Your Grace lies down in bed. I don’t care if the servants misunderstand.” “……!” “But if you do as I say, I’ll leave right away.” “I refuse.” “Are you saying you don’t want me to leave?” “Don’t play word games.” “Then hurry and lie down.” I smiled and persistently stared at the Grand Duke. “Why are you so…

Chapter 41 “Didi, should we check the upper shelves?” Since we couldn’t find it on the lower shelves, we raised our eyes. And finally, we found the book! In that huge library, we managed to find about five books related to the World Tree. “Only five books? No wonder it was hard to find.” Those five books were rarely read and placed on the top shelf, making it difficult to take them down. Since we needed to ask the librarian to borrow them, we secretly took the books and left…

Chapter 22 “State your condition.” “Think of me as a close friend, and when we’re together, let me see her freely.” “…” “I have a lot of affection for you, and I’m curious about the girl too. Of course, I’ll respect you as a person!” It wasn’t a bad condition. Actually, it was good. Perez seemed eager to maintain a long-term connection with Dedrick. If we shared a secret like this, things would definitely work out in Perez’s favor. “Dedrick, accept it. It’s…

Chapter 35 Dedrick stepped forward with his left foot, extending his arm to strike Jacob’s neck with the wooden sword. Jacob effortlessly dodged by stepping back. With that, the sparring match began in earnest, both of them clashing their swords seriously. Clang! Clack! As they fought, Jacob constantly pointed out Dedrick’s weaknesses. “This time, attacking the legs would be more effective than using your arms.” “I’ll remember that.” “Straighten your back. Your wrist is too…

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 43 When I opened the wardrobe door, Dedrick was standing there, hugging his pillow tightly, peeking out with just his eyes. “Why are you standing there looking so cute?” “…You always say I’m cute.” “Because you are cute!” At my sincere outburst, he chuckled softly and slowly climbed inside the wardrobe. “I feel a little sick…” “Huh? Where? Are you having symptoms?” I turned pale and quickly grabbed his arm to check, but there was nothing…
