Chapter 21 "That can't be." Hystein chuckled softly and stopped walking. When she heard no footsteps following behind her, Rodia also turned around. Hystein, who had been standing behind her looking at her, shrugged his shoulders. "And besides, so what if it is? If you're scared or having a hard time, running away isn't a bad thing. There's no rule that says you absolutely have to overcome every obstacle." "...Is that so?" "Yes." Hystein answered firmly and closed the distance to…-

Chapter 23 As soon as the prince finished speaking, Hystein opened his mouth with a rigidly hardened face. "Unfortunately for His Highness the Prince, I am this young lady's guardian and legal protector. If you wish to marry her, you would need my consent, but regrettably, I have no intention of agreeing to His Highness's proposal." With Rodia behind him, his demeanor as he faced the prince was eerily quiet yet filled with rage. Overwhelmed by his momentum, the Prince of Chellda…

Chapter 9 The Royal Ball The grand ballroom glittered under the light of the chandeliers. People’s eyes were filled with admiration and envy as they looked at Noxia. But when they looked at me… their gazes were sharp with ridicule and disdain. The way they sneered at me made my shoulders instinctively shrink. “Is that lady the eldest daughter of the Brelloff family? She looks so… unimpressive.” “Neither her looks nor her skills stand out compared to her younger sister.” “Hohoho. I…-

Chapter 20 Four or five elaborately dressed young ladies were approaching Lodia. Among them were some who had been lingering near Histein just moments before, and faces Lodia recognized. 'Surely they're not coming here...' Lodia firmly believed they weren't, but the moment she made eye contact with the woman at the front, she resigned herself. Their target was indeed her! "Hello? You're the one accompanying Mr. Roatt as his partner, aren't you?" "Oh, yes..." Lodia swallowed nervously.…

Chapter 18 A navy blue jacket, matching vest and trousers, a white shirt. The man, dressed in turn, attached blue topaz cufflinks to his sleeves and checked himself in the mirror. In the mirror stood a man with turquoise eyes, his bright, deep golden hair resembling sunlight neatly styled. "Huff..." "Are you nervous?" Rikart asked him as he tied a blue cravat over his white shirt. "A little? That's funny. Me, nervous." "You're human too, sir. It's only natural to be nervous when…

Chapter 08 Alosha raised the hand with the Phoenix Ring on her middle finger toward that handsome, infuriating man who stood there with an easy shrug. “Does this help you understand what I'm talking about?” “That is—” Emil Laos let out a scoff, but the moment he recognized the ring on her finger, his eyes widened. Got him. Alosha slowly lowered her raised hand and looked down at the ring on her finger with satisfaction. “Ahem. Since you said you're tired, I'll keep this…-

Chapter 19 Watching Alosha's desperate acting, Duke Whistler let out a scoff. He rose from his seat, drew his sword, and pointed it at Alosha. “……You seemed to recognize me right up until you passed out, but now you can't remember after waking up?” “Wh-what are you talking about? I really don't… Could you please put the sword away first and let's talk things over?” “Since you say you can't remember, I'll tell you. You are a spy from a neighboring kingdom. When I caught wind…

Chapter 14 "Indeed, our Alosha looks truly beautiful today." "Thank you." She received the compliment somehow, but it didn't make her feel particularly good. Alosha felt she could understand the mindset of a villainess who wants to torment a female lead who's more eye-catching and prettier than herself in a romance fantasy novel. With Alexis as her escort, she arrived safely at the palace, where a masked staff member came out to greet them. "The Nocturne Count's family and their…

18. You Don't Have Any Friends, Do You? The moment she opened the faculty office door and stepped inside, Ha-rin headed straight to the desk of her homeroom teacher, Ms. Park Ga-ryang. "Ha-rin. Welcome." Noticing Ha-rin, the teacher greeted her in a warm voice as she stood up from her seat. At her teacher's bright expression, the tension Ha-rin had briefly harbored gradually melted away. "Let's step into the counseling room for a second." "Okay." She sat facing her teacher inside the counseling room…-

Chapter 11 "It's not stubbornness. I'm saying this because I truly believe I can do it." "Fine. Let's say I help you meet Duke Whistler somehow. The Duke is very different from me. If something irritates him, he might just slit your throat on the spot, you know?" It was frustrating that he didn't seem to consider even the possibility of her succeeding, but Alosha decided to understand the losses he could see as a merchant group head. "Alright. Then help me for just one month. If I die before that,…
