Chapter 16 At the muttering, Histein impiously snatched the letter from his superior's hand and read it. The contents of the letter were brief. The main point was that the Second Prince of Cheda, who had been in marriage talks with Astrid, the only legitimate daughter of the House of Chester, Heint's royal family, and the next Queen, would be visiting. Histein was dumbfounded. They had no intention of preserving the name of the former royal family, the House of Chester, before the next…-

Chapter 15 Lodia was very busy. It wasn't that she was busy doing any particular work. It was because the second round written exam for the place officially named the 'Judiciary' was only ten days away. Before she knew it, the year had changed, and the end of January was just around the corner. Lodia, wearing a thick indoor dress but still cold, had wrapped herself in a blanket and was poring over books she had studied during her school days. "There's really no other way now!" Lodia felt…

Chapter 14 Even before the Fleur Citizen's Revolution, the House of Chester's finances had been in poor condition. The national debt continued to grow due to the royal family's extravagance, and the treasury was emptied as if it had a hole in it. The nobles, too, squeezed taxes out of the commoners and indulged in their own luxury and dissipation. It was only natural that a revolution would occur. After the revolution, which had been stained with the blood of many, succeeded and the cabinet…

Chapter 13 Histein's private office in Vicebian Palace was a mess, cluttered with all sorts of documents. Rikart grimaced and found a chair among the papers to sit on. It hadn't even been a month since Histein had collapsed from overwork. Rikart had been forced to insert even minute-by-minute rest periods into his superior's schedule. "Thirty minutes is enough." "I didn't say anything?" Histein chuckled and soon focused on his work. However, it wasn't long before an uninvited guest…

Chapter 12 Ten days later, just as Histein had forewarned and the job posting had stated, the application period began. Lodia submitted her application as soon as the registration office opened. When she submitted her former professor's letter of recommendation from her time at Prombote and the 'McKennan Prombote Medal' together with the other required documents, groans erupted from those around her. After all, with a letter of recommendation written by her professor herself and a Prombote…

Chapter 11 Alisis Fedelov, the 2nd Chancellor of Haint. She had been resting her chin on both hands, observing the face of the man right next to her for a full 15 minutes. “……Is there something on my face?” “Huh? No?” “…….” Histein felt incredibly pressured by her smiling cheerfully at him. “If you have something to say, please say it.” “Really? Can I?” “If I said no, would you not say it?” “No?” “…….” At the company, he was…

Chapter 10 A while ago, on the day of Rodia's graduation ceremony. Hystein, who had arrived at the school long before the ceremony began, ended up witnessing an unpleasant sight. A man clinging to Rodia's side, taking pictures with her. Hystein found that man oddly irritating. He was also the man he had met during the funeral arrangements some time ago. *'Isaac Wallace, was it?'* His face and neck were flushed red, clearly showing he was flustered and shy just from standing next to…

Chapter 09 "I think I'm going to burst." Rodia stroked her full, round belly with a satisfied expression. The cook hired for the new mansion was exceptionally skilled. It had been a truly satisfying dinner. The perfectly cooked salmon steak with its crispy skin was particularly artistic. Lying on the chaise longue, smiling contentedly, she suddenly sat bolt upright. "Come to think of it, the taste is great too." She rolled her foot on the marble-patterned deep green tiles on the…

Chapter 08 Having come to stay temporarily at the Roart mansion, Rodia had truly enjoyed herself for just over a week. She tinkered on the piano, which she remembered playing as a child, and read romance novels, which she had never read before, on her friends' recommendations. The ten or so days she spent at the Roart mansion were like a symbol of deviation for Rodia. And today, she stepped into the ivory-walled building at 26-7 Grandel Street. The thirteen-year-old building, newly…

Chapter 07 "You know that's an insult, right?" "It was a mutter." He erased Damian from his mind. "For now, I want to play until I'm sick of it. Doing nothing, just playing." "Miss Proxhate." Hystein called her name with a resolute tone and gaze. "You want to play until you're sick of it? There's a timing to life. While you're playing, others will be securing their positions and drawing the life they've designed. Can you afford to be so leisurely?" When Hystein had called…
