Chapter 37 Jacob noticed it too, but he only frowned without responding. After all, Delani was the lady of Blackwood, so he couldn’t be rude to her. “I see… It looks like Dedrick likes you quite a lot.” “……” Jacob remained silent, but Delani began acting like a loving mother. “You know, Dedrick has always been weak. Losing his mother made him a little gloomy, too.” Oh no, here comes the badmouthing. I felt the urge to throw the tea at her, but I held…-

Chapter 36 “Huh?” Is he asking if he did well lifting me up? When did he get this strong? As I stood there with a dazed expression, Dedrick seemed disappointed that he didn’t get the reaction he expected. He mumbled hesitantly. “About the sparring earlier…” “Ah!” I had completely forgotten about it because I was so startled when he suddenly lifted me. I spread my arms wide and gave Dedrick a tight hug. “You did amazing! I was so shocked! I wanted to jump around while…

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 34 “Are you really okay with that?” “Is there anything more important?” Why is he asking me that? “Yeah. You should do what you think is important.” I sat down with Dedrick. “But, Didi, this might seem random, but your opinion matters the most to me. If you don’t want to be the successor or if you want to do something else, you can do that. Anytime. Okay?” “Okay.” “Just do what you want, Didi!” “I will.” I felt uneasy, like I was pressuring…

Chapter 33 Gemma stopped in her tracks and glared at the man named Arnold, as if she wanted to kill him. “Don’t call the Duchess by her name so casually.” “….” “We’re not the only ones at fault here. You’re not the only one holding the cards.” “But it’s true that it’s more favorable for me.” Gemma gritted her teeth, and the man shrugged lightly. “I’m not planning to do anything. I just want you to listen to my offer.” She turned around irritably and…

Chapter 32 Dedrick and I didn’t hear about Somerset until evening when Jenkinson relayed the news. “So, Somerset is currently…” “He’s under house arrest in his room.” “…” “The leader of the White Hawks has been dismissed as of today.” I muttered in surprise. “So, it was the wooden sword with the iron blade that caused his injury.” I gritted my teeth in anger upon hearing the truth from Jenkinson. “That bastard! Is that enough punishment?! Just house…

Chapter 31 “Hey, um…” “Yeah?” I quickly erased my smile and looked at him. Fidgeting with his hands, Dedrick hesitantly asked, “Is there anything you’d like to include in the name? Like a symbol or something…” Still struggling with the name, huh? I stared into his blue eyes and pointed at them. “Your eyes.” “My eyes?” “I want it to be something blue.” Dedrick touched the corner of his eye, looking a little embarrassed. “But that represents me, not…

Chapter 30 I glared at Somerset and swung my arm wide to loosen up before giving him a proper lesson. ‘This guy is just as scared of ghosts as Axel is.’ Whenever something strange happens, he runs away without looking back. ‘I’ll use that for my advantage and teach him a harsher lesson than usual.’ After all, monsters are supposed to be terrifying to humans. If it gets bad enough, it can leave a trauma. That’s exactly what I planned to give Somerset this time. ‘Looks…

Chapter 29 The soft, fluffy texture of his gray hair felt comforting under her touch. The girl carefully patted his head. “…Still, you’re probably in more pain than I am. I’m sorry for crying.” For some reason, she misunderstood, thinking it was her crying that bothered him. Dedrick didn’t bother correcting her. “I’m fine now, Didi,” she said softly. Dedrick pulled away from her embrace and looked at her. Her eyes and nose were red, and she was still sniffling, despite…

Chapter 28 The table was piled high with ointments and bandages, all taken from the infirmary. “Did I take too much?” After neatly organizing the medical supplies, I worked on the homework Dedrick had given me while waiting for him. By now, I’d improved enough to write a few words without looking them up. My handwriting even seemed to be resembling Dedrick’s. ‘Of course, that’s natural since he’s teaching me.’ Dedrick’s writing was so neat and elegant that I couldn’t…
