Chapter 79 The doorknob turned, and just as I hurriedly stepped away, Dedrick added in a cold voice. “Let me make this clear. Stop sending me letters. It’s uncomfortable and burdensome.” “B-but, Dedrick! I’m Ebony Silius!” “I know.” “W-wait… weren’t my letters being blocked by the Grand Duchess? She was the one who opposed our engagement…” Ah, the engagement. There’s a bit of a story behind that. When Delani tried to send Dedrick to the Silius family as a…-

Chapter 78 He swept back his damp hair and let out a long sigh he had been holding. A strange glint flashed in his blue eyes. “How dare they touch what’s mine.” Anger surged within him. His determination to become the heir grew even stronger. “I just need to endure for four more months.” Once he succeeded in the subjugation and secured his place as the heir, he would push the Grand Duchess, Somerset, and Axel aside. No one would dare lay a hand on Marilyn. He clenched his fist…

Chapter 77 “……Why are you here?” “I felt uneasy after leaving like that… and Somerset wanted to apologize too, so we came together. May we come in for a moment?” The veins on Dedrick’s jaw tensed. “I’m busy right now…” “Hey, we’re here to apologize. Let’s talk inside.” Without waiting for permission, Somerset shoved past him and entered the room—only to stop in his tracks. “Mother.” At Somerset’s signal, Delani stepped inside. She glanced around…

Chapter 76 Everyone there had attempted to speak to Dedrick at least once. Soon, Dedrick appeared at the picnic spot. The maids, itching to acknowledge him, gazed at him with burning anticipation. Dedrick’s expression grew even colder under their stares. “Come on over, Dedrick. I wanted to celebrate your mission with the Black Hawk, so I arranged this gathering. We didn’t get to properly congratulate you back then.” Delani greeted Dedrick with a sickeningly sweet smile, naturally…

Chapter 75 “Madam, are you still bothered by that bloodstain? That was just a ghost…” “Yes, a ghost. That’s possible. There have been rumors about ghosts in the ducal castle for a long time. But if you think about it, isn’t it strange? Even though there’s talk of a ghost in the castle, His Grace doesn’t seem to care.” “His Grace has always been indifferent, Madam.” “And doesn’t that seem suspicious to you?” Delani recalled everything that had happened over the past…

Chapter 74 ‘I’m anxious….’ I was sure she had witnessed me coughing up blood in Delani’s room. It seemed like she had put the matter on hold for now, being preoccupied with solving the Somerset issue. ‘She’s not the type to let this slide.’ She would find a way to dig into it. For a moment, the thought that this incident could drag Didi down with me made me curl up in fear, hugging my knees tightly. ‘I can’t let that happen.’ An unexplainable sense of unease…-

Chapter 73 “Now that the evidence has come to light, there’s no turning back. Especially since His Grace the Grand Duke found it himself.” Delani’s voice, gentle yet firm, reached my ears. How did she get in here? Entry should be strictly prohibited. Did she bribe the servants again? Well, considering how long she’s lived here, bribing them would be a piece of cake for her. “Damn it, then how the hell…!” “I plan to persuade Axel.” “…What?” “The head of…

Chapter 72 Dedrick and I sat across from each other, looking completely cleaned up, as if nothing had happened. “Now it’s time to deal with the mess we’ve made.” “I shouldn’t have…” “Hey! We agreed not to blame ourselves! I would have done the same if I were you. And besides, I’m really grateful to you, Didi!” “Mm…” Afraid of the reactions outside, neither of us had stepped out of the room yet. So before leaving, we were putting our heads together, trying to…

Chapter 71 Marilyn struggled to catch her breath, her fingers weakly tapping against his chin before falling limply. She smiled faintly, reassuring him. “I think… I can bear it.” Even as her breaths grew fainter, Marilyn smiled brightly—but it was clear how fragile she was. “So… don’t blame yourself too much. This isn’t your fault, Didi.” At her gentle comfort, Dedrick buried his face in her palm and sobbed. The guilt of failing to protect her strangled him. “I…

Chapter 70 Left alone, Somerset tried to stand up by holding onto the wall, but his legs were too weak to support him. “Damn it, damn it!” I let that guy do this to me…! Though he kept talking tough, his body was clearly trembling with fear. The overwhelming killing intent he had just faced made cold sweat drip down his back. Somehow, he managed to get up, but he couldn’t even bring himself to look at the tightly shut door. As he walked away, he suddenly frowned. “But what did…
