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…-

~Chapter 04~ Aston asked Bella with a face full of curiosity as if he was dying to know. At his words, the expressions of the Viscount Listerwell and his wife mirrored Aston’s curiosity. When they first heard Bella’s plan to “pin a brooch on Harriet’s dress, a brooch that she couldn’t even dream of owning,” they thought Bella would handle it well and didn’t ask many questions. But if the brooch’s owner was the Duke of Kailas, it became a different story. “I’m curious too,…-

Chapter 56 In the end, Axel couldn’t hold back his feelings of resentment towards Delani any longer. “Is it all my fault? Are you saying my brother did nothing wrong? The rumors started because he hit Dedrick first, didn’t he?” “You little—” Somerset glared at Axel, but Axel didn’t even glance at him. Watching this, Delani responded coldly. “Axel, you need some discipline.” Axel’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Mother?” “Stay in your room for the time…

~Chapter 14~ “Whenever Bella went to the masquerade, she wore a mask that covered most of her face and dressed in a way that didn’t reveal much skin. And when she met the men she seduced in the garden, she always wore a robe.” The men, who had touched and even kissed Bella, wanted to see her again in the bright sunlight, but Bella, who only desired a night of pleasure and the valuable information those men held, rejected their advances. And during those times, Harriet served as the perfect cover…

~Chapter 50~ Even though Benedict had told himself it would be fine, sitting face-to-face with Cedric in the drawing room of the Duke of Kailas’s estate brought a strange tension. He spent over 30 minutes on small talk before smoothly shifting to news of others, as if casually updating Cedric on his own life. “By the way, do you know Viscount Livingston?” “I think I’ve heard the name. He built some wealth through construction, didn’t he?” “Oh, so you do know him? His son runs a…

Chapter 65 Originally, I only counted my height up to my head, but now I can’t do that anymore. The height difference was too big. Dedrick chuckled and said, “That’s cheating.” “No, it’s not! My horns are part of me too.” I stood against the wall and insisted, “Measure with my horns!” “Alright.” He walked up to me and marked the wall at the tip of my horn. I looked up at him, staring intently. He touched his slightly reddened neck and asked, “…Why are you…

~Chapter 46~ As expected, Roxana sighed deeply and held her forehead. Harriet clung to her more. “Please give me one more hour of lessons about economics. Also, could you recommend some books to read? And if you happen to have any summary notes… maybe I could borrow them…” “You really are a shameless thief.” “But no matter how much I steal your knowledge, it won’t decrease, right? So I’m not really a thief.” Harriet gave a cheeky grin, and Roxana finally gave in. Trisha…

Chapter 49 Do Whatever You Want “Cecilia, a Grand Duchess’s maid should have some decorum. Why are you opening your mouth like that?” “Oh my, I think it’s less open than your Highness’s.” “Ugh.” I cleared my throat and closed my mouth. In just a week, we had become much closer and were now casually exchanging jokes. As I had admitted during our private conversation, Cecilia wasn’t particularly modest for a maid. At first, I thought she’d be more reserved,…

Chapter 48 Deep Grudge Clop, clop. As the sun began to set, the sound of a knight’s horse echoed in the garden as it headed toward the castle. Servants walking by blushed as they saw the owner of the golden hair, glittering in the sunset. It was Tiern Bierri, the captain of the 9th Knight Brigade, known for his cold demeanor as much as for his good looks. The 9th Brigade was a special task force that carried out important missions separate from the regular knights, and Tiern had just…
