Chapter 2 “What are you doing? Let’s go.” “……” “Are you refusing?” Dedrick hesitated before getting up, knowing full well that refusal would only provoke a barrage of insults from him. I prepared to follow Dedrick out of the room as well. Though I couldn’t stay outside the wardrobe for long… ‘Still, I should be able to manage for about an hour, right?’ If there were wardrobes in the dining room, I could have traveled there directly and observed from inside. But…-

Chapter 62 Perez bent over slightly, his body trembling. “Heh…” After clearing his throat, he made me an offer. “Why don’t you come with me? To the palace. I’ll treat you well.” That’s ridiculous. What would you even do with me when you can’t even see me? “I may not see you, but I enjoy being with you. I’m lonely… Stay with me for a while.” I rejected him without hesitation. What kind of cheap trick was this? At least you have your…-

~Chapter 27~ Did Hazel tell me? “The footsteps. The sound of the heel touching the floor was different. It seemed like you were dragging one leg a little…” “……” “And earlier, when we avoided the carriage in the village, you leaned to the right.” Chop chop. Her hands wrapping the cloth were very skilled. “So I thought maybe your leg hurt.” Huh, Morris let out a sigh without realizing it. “If you keep enduring it, it’ll hurt…-

~Chapter 18~ “Ah!” “Why do you keep barging in when someone’s eating…!” Uncle stood up abruptly, looking genuinely annoyed. Wait—how could that thick, heavy door break apart like a piece of paper? “Where is she?!” The voice roared like a wild beast. ‘An angry lion!’ Stepping over the broken door appeared an elderly man with a full head of white hair and eyes glowing cold blue. His huge mouth was open wide. A wild beast had appeared! ‘The Grand Duke of Jebert!’ His huge…

~Chapter 13~ “Your Grace?” “No, it’s nothing.” He roughly scratched the back of his head. ‘No way.’ She’s just a child born and raised in a remote village. She’s probably just not familiar with imperial clocks. ‘Looks like I’m the one still wandering the battlefield.’ A faint, self-mocking smile brushed over his relaxed face for just an instant—so brief no one could notice. I was startled. “W-what is this?” The burly maid sisters suddenly showed up holding…

~Chapter 19~ I kept my lips pushed out in a pout, and the Grand Duke clicked his tongue. Suddenly, his sharp gaze shifted to the butler, Morris, standing behind me. “Morris! Didn’t you say she finished her meal? You should have told me she was having a snack! You don’t disturb even a dog while it’s eating!” “I… did not think to account for Lady Ruby’s snack schedule.” Drip, drip. I could almost hear the sound of Butler Morris’s sweat hitting the floor. “What are you just…

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 52 Apple Pie Recipe ‘Is he having a hard time these days?’ The Duke looked gloomy on the way to the dining hall. When I asked if he was okay, he brushed it off, saying he was just a little tired because of the diplomatic envoys. “Has he been more stressed than I thought?” I asked Cecilia, and she nodded with a knowing look. “I heard from my father. He said the Duke is trying hard to invite the delegation from Rondoris, but it hasn’t been easy.” “Why…-

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 59 Dedrick was about to be held accountable, but then a distinct voice cut in from a distance. “You all know that’s nonsense, right? Calling him unlucky… Dedrick was just standing there. Lord Somerset and Lord Axel fell because of their own carelessness.” It was Ebony. Joanna glared at her, but she knew she couldn’t change Dedrick’s reputation by speaking up herself. ‘I believe you’ll do well at this banquet.’ ‘Don’t disappoint us again, Joanna.’ Her…
