Chapter 11 “You’ve become much more gentle, haven’t you?” Anyone would become gentle if they got a sword like this. “The person who took the promissory note was completely covered in a cloak when they came to the bank. Since the Duchess had given instructions not to check the identity of the person bringing her promissory note, we followed that. But it still felt suspicious. Coincidentally, Her Grace also went out that day.” “Kalsen, even if the one who took the money was Bella,…-

Chapter 03 The fatigue from last night hit me. Thanks to spending hours dealing with people while keeping my shoulders stiff and tense, my whole body ached. Rozelle was quite well-connected in high society. The young ladies of her age admired and loved Rozelle. Actually, Rozelle was also exceptionally good-looking, so she naturally drew people to her. It seemed the female lead adapted quickly because Rozelle, who was practically the queen bee of high society, accepted her. Dealing with…-

Chapter 10 “What did you say?” I jumped up and pushed past Amy, running out of the bedroom. As I rushed toward the study where Leon was supposedly studying, I thought about our relationship before I left for the temple. We had been doing okay, hadn’t we? At least, it looked that way on the outside. So what changed? Why am I running like this? I realized I was afraid everything I had built with him would fall apart. “I’m sorry, but we were ordered not to let anyone in.” “What?…

Chapter 02 So this is what a male lead's birthday is like. It was splendid, splendid, and more splendid. Plus, there were rows of vintage, romantic carriages lined up, the kind you'd only ever see in movies. I was one of them. I gave appropriate responses to my parents, who were chattering on about the romantic engagement announcement that was supposed to happen today, and stepped down from the carriage. The hall was crowded with people. The orchestra was playing music, people were…

Chapter 01 When I first possessed this novel, I thought I was lucky. There were no longer any family members who tormented me, nor a grandmother who was desperate to marry me off. To be precise, it was a grandmother who was frantic to sell me off to a 45-year-old widower. So, even if they were indifferent to each other, this world where my father and mother were alive and there was no grandmother trying to marry me off was much better. Plus, my position was stable. My role was to help…

Chapter 9 On the last day before returning to Aster’s castle, I was anxious and on edge because I still hadn’t found the Holy Sword. I started openly searching every corner of the temple. The priests would avoid me whenever I appeared. Even the high priest, who used to greet me every day, had completely disappeared. “Where the heck is it!!” I shouted and paced the room nervously. Shouldn’t there be some secret mechanism hidden in a statue or something? At least under the bed? Annoyed and…

Chapter 8 “I think something went into my ear. Can you clean it out for me?” “Nothing went into your ear, Leon. You heard me right. I’ve decided to go to the temple for a week to pray.” “Waaah! I want to go too!!” Why is he acting like this when he clearly should be happy I’m leaving the castle? Because I walk around so actively inside the castle, Leon has been struggling to secretly train and handle work. I’m trying to ease his burden, at least for a week. So why is he…

Chapter 7 “What?” No way. Even if she was cast aside, she was still the Duke’s wife—no, the Grand Duchess! She must have brought a dowry. Even if she was unwanted, Bella was famous for her luxury even before marriage. The Marquis, who cared a lot about appearances, must have shown off too. “Then whose money was I shopping with?” “You either charged it to Lord Carsen’s account or wrote down the amount you wanted in the ledger and took the money.” No way. I thought…

Chapter 6 After Leon left, I turned my gaze back to the Marchioness. “Tell me the truth. I ate that chocolate too.” “It was really hard to get that chocolate. It was delicious, wasn’t it?” “It wasn’t just regular chocolate, was it?” The Marchioness looked at me with an innocent face, as if she truly didn’t know anything. But behind that fake sweetness, I could see something sneaky in her eyes. “You’re really going to pretend you don’t know?” “I really don’t…

Chapter 5 He stood in the center of the banquet hall and suddenly began to cry out loud. People, shocked by his behavior, froze and stared at him—then screamed and stepped back. I pushed through the crowd and stood in front of him. Water had pooled at Leon’s feet. Drops were falling from the ends of his pants. “Did you pee yourself?” I blurted out in shock and quickly covered my mouth. Then I grabbed him and looked around, trying to find someone to help. The faces around us…
