Chapter 27 After seeing Joanna warmly greet him at a social party, Somerset’s one-sided love began. Although he believed he didn’t show his feelings, his mother noticed and even pushed for their engagement. His mother had always said he could have anything he wanted, and Somerset never doubted her words. ‘Sure, I yelled at Joanna yesterday because I was so angry, but I’ll just apologize, and it’ll be fine.’ He was the eldest son of the Blackwood family. Everyone admired him and wanted…-

Chapter 26 I turned to face Dedrick, smiling, and he awkwardly looked away, lowering his eyes. “Are you uncomfortable?” I asked. “……” “It must be really uncomfortable. You can sleep on the bed if you want.” “I’m going to sleep now,” he replied, hurriedly shutting his eyes and pretending to sleep. So Cute. To reassure him I wasn’t going to kick him out, I patted his arm and closed my eyes too. The warmth of our foreheads touching made it easy to fall asleep. Even…

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 24 The story in the book went into great detail about the fairytale. It went like this: One day, an orphan appeared in front of a prince.

Still, the orphan didn’t give up, believing that love could overcome all obstacles. The orphan did everything they could to help the prince, and surprisingly, the orphan ended up…

Chapter 23 Early in the morning, Joanna woke up from bed. No matter how comfortable the room was, she couldn’t sleep well whenever she came here. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she frowned. “Ugh… so annoying.” Although she couldn’t show it in front of the Blackwood family, Joanna disliked Somerset, who was always showing off in front of her. He was chatty and greedy, and she hated that he was a man wrapped around his mother’s skirts. “The whole engagement must be something…

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 21 I was still learning how to read, so I couldn’t make out everything. But as I pieced together the letters written in a straight line, it looked like a name. “Lil… Lian? No, Liliana?” “No!” Dedrick, startled, reached out to grab the paper in my hand, but I quickly pulled my arm back. I looked up at him with a mischievous grin as his face turned red. “Is this my name? Are you giving me a name?” “Uh, well…” He scratched his neck, avoiding my persistent gaze. He…

Chapter 20 I quickly moved to the Grand Duchess’s wardrobe. It was still quiet, perhaps because she hadn’t arrived yet. Carefully, I stepped out of the room and checked my surroundings. In the distance, I saw the Grand Duchess. She was heading into a nearby parlor, so I hurried to slip in through the door before it closed. “This matter needs to be settled here and now,” she said. “Mother!” “What other choice do we have? The fact that the prince’s belongings were found in…

Chapter 19 I’m glad I made a good first impression. In the novel, Perez clears up the misunderstanding with Dedrick and comes to recognize him, becoming a reliable ally. Even now, in a brief conversation, Perez could easily tell that Dedrick wasn’t the type of person to do what was being accused of him. He had a sharp eye. “How about checking Dedrick’s room, Your Highness?” Somerset straightened up and suggested confidently. She glanced at Dedrick with a smug smile, clearly trusting her…

Chapter 18 The more I attacked Dedrick, the more his favor increased, so the Duchess chose to stay quiet. ‘This feels so satisfying.’ I smirked at her, but then her gaze shifted to somewhere else. Following Delani, I turned my head and saw a maid nodding before leaving her seat. ‘She must be waiting for this moment.’ Just like in the novel. And just as expected, another servant approached Dedrick. “Young Master, it’s reading time.” I quickly spoke. “Didi, don’t…
