Chapter 50 That was a remark mocking them for being born as illegitimate children, unable to rise above their lowly status. I frowned deeply. “Pfft! The stench is so bad it could make my nose go numb!” A boy beside Somerset chimed in eagerly, trying to please him. Oh, you. I’ll remember your face. At the low-quality joke, Dedrick furrowed his brows. Somerset raised his voice even more. “Why the frown? Is the light too dazzling after being in the dark for so long?” He…-

Chapter 49 Is there such a thing as being naturally drawn to something without even trying? Just then, Joanna arrived and greeted Dedrick. “Lord Dedrick, it’s been a while.” My eyes briefly met Dedrick’s in midair. We had already decided what to do if Joanna spoke to him. Our plan was… “…Please don’t talk to me. I don’t want to be scolded by my brother, Somerset.” How pathetic! Unlike his usual stiff way of speaking, he mumbled and looked around nervously,…

Chapter 48 “Haa…” She was having nightmares—that said it all. Even though Joanna was struggling, her parents kept pressuring her to apologize to Somerset immediately. But she ignored them and locked herself in the library. She wanted to figure out the feeling she had when she heard those words from Dedrick. “Give up for my sake.” Now, she finally understood what she felt at that moment. Shame for still being trapped under her parents’ control, humiliation at being…

Chapter 47 “From now on, Didi, you have to call me Mary. Okay?” “Okay, Mary.” Hearing him call my name made me smile again. He smiled brightly too. ‘Wow, this feels really good!’ I finally had a name. This was the first name that was really mine, except for one from a previous life that I hardly remembered. No one had ever known me before. I was always alone. But Dedrick had stamped my existence into this world. From the moment he first saw me, he had saved me in a…

Chapter 46 Even though it was about him, Dedrick seemed indifferent. “You won’t get in trouble just for wearing a formal outfit, right? Let’s ask the Grand Duke for one!” “No.” “Then I have no choice! I’ll secretly get one and put it on you while you’re sleeping!” “…….” “So just wear it, okay? I’ll take care of everything!” “Then… make sure it’s loose.” “……Why?” What is he planning? Dedrick answered in a small voice under my…

Chapter 45 “Why are you suddenly saying such pretty things?” As I wondered, I suddenly remembered how Dedrick had been more hurt than me when he heard about my past. ‘…He was worried about me.’ Because I was abandoned due to my horn, which absorbed blood during the war. ‘He wanted to make sure I didn’t hate myself. He wanted to show me that my horn is more beautiful than anything else.’ Like a gift, he had come to me with a rose. “Didi…” Feeling touched, I softly…

Chapter 44 Delani finally looked up from the catalog and gazed at Axel. Then, she spoke calmly. “You’re not the firstborn.” Axel’s face twisted, almost as if he was about to cry. Did Delani really believe that only the eldest son could inherit the title? It’s been ages since the concept of firstborn inheritance disappeared… “I trust you don’t hold such narrow-minded beliefs about the firstborn inheriting everything in this day and age,” Axel said. Oh… His sarcastic…

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 42 “This time, I won’t let it slide! You always got beaten up and never said a word, but now you ran to Father and badmouthed about us? I won’t forgive you!” “If you did something wrong, you should be punished! The one who hits is guilty, not the one who gets hit!” Even though Axel couldn’t hear me, I still shouted at him. “I’ll get revenge.” “In what way?” Tell me. I need to know so that my Dedrick can prepare in advance. But Axel didn’t answer.…

Chapter 41 “Didi, should we check the upper shelves?” Since we couldn’t find it on the lower shelves, we raised our eyes. And finally, we found the book! In that huge library, we managed to find about five books related to the World Tree. “Only five books? No wonder it was hard to find.” Those five books were rarely read and placed on the top shelf, making it difficult to take them down. Since we needed to ask the librarian to borrow them, we secretly took the books and left…
