Chapter 012 “You dare…!” 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 Somerset’s reckless swings. A sharp breeze brushed past Somerset’s neck, sending a chill down his spine. ‘If he had learned swordsmanship…’ The reason Dedrick hadn’t learned to wield a sword was simple: Delani had stopped him. Using his small and weak body as an excuse, Delani had…-

Chapter 011 “Hey, you’re here?” “……” 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. “I thought we’d spar for the first time in a while.” Under the guise of sparring, Somerset had always abused Dedrick. “It was just sparring, wasn’t it?” If Somerset taunted him with that excuse, Dedrick knew he couldn’t argue back. “What are you waiting for?…

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, “Didi, how do you write ‘Have a lot of money’?” He smiled slightly and wrote the words in my notebook. “What about ‘Be happy’?” “Like this.” He wrote it next to ‘Have a lot of money’. I carefully copied what he wrote, adding his name, and handed it to him. “I hope you’ll be happy, Didi.” “…….” Though…

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. “You did great!” Encouraged by my praise, Dedrick continued speaking slowly but steadily. “How could I have stolen your book, brother?…

Chapter 008 Seeing the girl’s bright smile, Dedrick felt a strange tickling sensation in his chest. It tickled so much that he couldn’t help but rub his chest for no reason. “…Just me?” “Yeah, only you, Didi. I approached you with a very sly and devious plan—to survive. Didi, you’re going to become such an amazing person that you’ll easily be able to save me.” For someone claiming to have approached with devious intentions, she looked unbelievably soft and harmless, leaving…

Chapter 007 With just that smile, everything he had tried to ignore about that girl came rushing back. Her face on the first day, awkwardly greeting me, came vividly to mind. The girl who gave me earnest advice with her plump little lips in an effort to help me. The girl who chattered cheerfully, introducing herself and asking me not to be wary of her. The girl who lit up with joy whenever I responded to her. The girl who shielded me from Somerset and Axel whenever they tried to bully me. For some…

Chapter 06 There’s no way he could sense my presence… Is it because he’s a Duke? He’s really suspicious. I wondered about it while cautiously touching the necklace. Sure enough, the spell on it seemed to have disappeared, as there was no reaction when I touched it. The Duke scanned the room while looking at Delani, who stood still as a statue. “Or should I search the place myself and humiliate you?” “…Bring it.” In the end, the Duchess backed down. “Wait, were…

Chapter 5 I immediately returned to the Grand Duchess’s wardrobe. From the crack in the door, I could hear the voice of a woman. “So, you’re saying there’s nothing wrong with the anti-theft magic?” “Yes, Madam. It seems someone must have touched it to trigger the magic. Otherwise, there would’ve been no reason for it to activate…” “……” Even after the maid Gemma finished speaking, the Duchess remained silent for a while. Peering through the gap, I couldn’t help…

Chapter 4 “…….” When he clenched his hand, I took a step back, smiling awkwardly. “Sorry…….” “…….” He kept his head down, gripping the fork tightly with his reddened hand, and began twirling the pasta. The noodles looked springy and perfect on the outside. It looked delicious. I could feel Dedrick sneaking glances at me. “Is it awkward? Should I just crawl into the closet?” Instead of answering, he hesitated with the fork full of noodles mid-air,…

Chapter 3 Seeing no intention to open the door, I quietly lay down inside the wardrobe. There was no need to force my way out and upset Dedrick. As a wardrobe monster, being locked inside wasn’t scary—rather, it felt cozy and comfortable. With my body and mind at ease, I drifted into thought. ‘Why is Dedrick so wary of me?’ …The answer was simple: because he didn’t know me. Of course, I never explained who I was to him. People naturally become cautious around the unknown. So, maybe…
