Chapter 2 “That felt kind of unpleasant.” As Leon walked holding Kalsen’s hand, he roughly shook it off after Bella (Bell-Bell) disappeared. “What’s so unpleasant?” “…It just felt weird. Like she was teasing me or something.” “Would she really do that? Honestly, this isn’t something to say about her, but isn’t she rumored to be the least intelligent person in the Empire, second only to His Highness? Even if we assume she’s a fool…” “She’s acting completely…-

Chapter 01 “No, no, that’s not what you do.” I kept my mouth shut and shook my head as I pulled the snot-covered cloth from Leon’s shirt out of his mouth. Leon got annoyed and showed his teeth like he was angry. “I don’t want to! Give it back!!” “Hmph! Just behave.” I ignored his whining and wiped his nose skillfully. Then Leon rubbed his snotty hand on my dress. “Hey!!” When I spoke in a low voice, Leon’s face started to scrunch up like he was going to cry…

Chapter 23 As soon as the prince finished speaking, Hystein opened his mouth with a rigidly hardened face. "Unfortunately for His Highness the Prince, I am this young lady's guardian and legal protector. If you wish to marry her, you would need my consent, but regrettably, I have no intention of agreeing to His Highness's proposal." With Rodia behind him, his demeanor as he faced the prince was eerily quiet yet filled with rage. Overwhelmed by his momentum, the Prince of Chellda…-

Chapter 22 Hystein called her name. Rodia looked up at him. There was no hint of reproach in his emerald green eyes. "Is what His Highness the Prince said true? What happened that day?" Hystein asked, his expression showing that he didn't believe Rodia would have acted that way without reason. Rodia's eyes trembled slightly. Hystein was supporting her from behind. He was, as he had promised, becoming a place she could lean on. She swallowed once, then opened her…

Chapter 21 "That can't be." Hystein chuckled softly and stopped walking. When she heard no footsteps following behind her, Rodia also turned around. Hystein, who had been standing behind her looking at her, shrugged his shoulders. "And besides, so what if it is? If you're scared or having a hard time, running away isn't a bad thing. There's no rule that says you absolutely have to overcome every obstacle." "...Is that so?" "Yes." Hystein answered firmly and closed the distance to…

Chapter 20 Four or five elaborately dressed young ladies were approaching Lodia. Among them were some who had been lingering near Histein just moments before, and faces Lodia recognized. 'Surely they're not coming here...' Lodia firmly believed they weren't, but the moment she made eye contact with the woman at the front, she resigned herself. Their target was indeed her! "Hello? You're the one accompanying Mr. Roatt as his partner, aren't you?" "Oh, yes..." Lodia swallowed nervously.…

Chapter 19 Alisis waved her hand with exaggerated gestures and shrugged. As if to show that her actions so far had been a joke, Lodia eventually let out a hollow laugh. Then, Alisis grinned at her and headed off in another direction, and only then did Lodia breathe a sigh of relief. Histein, who had bowed toward his superior's retreating back, looked at Lodia as soon as he straightened up. "Are you alright? Her Excellency can be quite playful." "I'm fine. She just seems a little…

Chapter 18 A navy blue jacket, matching vest and trousers, a white shirt. The man, dressed in turn, attached blue topaz cufflinks to his sleeves and checked himself in the mirror. In the mirror stood a man with turquoise eyes, his bright, deep golden hair resembling sunlight neatly styled. "Huff..." "Are you nervous?" Rikart asked him as he tied a blue cravat over his white shirt. "A little? That's funny. Me, nervous." "You're human too, sir. It's only natural to be nervous when…

Chapter 17 "You did very well. Yes." "The market in Parnue is different from Marseon, so you found it more entertaining, did you?" "Why, why didn't you come even later? Since you were already late, you might as well have stayed another day." "...I was wrong, Uncle." "The delegation is visiting Heint on official business, so please do not address me by a personal title, Your Highness." Duke Filemer twisted his mustache with his finger and said gruffly. The Second Prince didn't like his…

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…
