Chapter 11 What's the point of struggling desperately to cultivate a peaceful future? The family is already out there scattering ashes everywhere! *'I thought I possessed a good family, but I was wrong!!'* I needed to find out what exactly they had been hiding. This was no time to be casually asking Lindberg for 'good ways to compliment men.' I needed to commission him to find out what Roteroa was hiding, and about the Dowager's grudges. *'As soon as I get back—no, it's a bit late today.…-

~Chapter 44~ Her heart raced. People were selling soap everywhere, so would Cedric really scoff at the need for a non-disclosure agreement over something so trivial? But she had come this far—there was no turning back now. “This is the business plan. I thought it would save time to have you look at this first, so I’ve prepared it in advance.” The documents seemed flawless when she had reviewed them this morning, but now that she was about to present them, a sense of unease crept in, as if…-

Chapter 19 It was that evening. It had been a while since I'd been to a social gathering like this, with all the haha and hoho. I think this was the first time since that day I said, "I won't announce an engagement." After what happened yesterday, would today be okay? "Do you know what kind of gathering this is?" "Just a light dinner. You don't need to be so nervous. It's just Grandmother gathering people she likes for a meal." Wait a minute. Does that mean I've finally earned…

Chapter 69 How to Ease the Heart There was a red line across her forehead—like a thin crack on glass. A mark left by the eggshell that scratched her skin. “It’s just a little scratch. It’ll disappear in a day or two.” As the Grand Duchess said that with a slight pout, Loic clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms. He felt a deep sense of betrayal from the people of his territory. He had spent his entire life fighting to protect them as Duke of…-

Chapter 16 Alosha threw her high heels down to the first floor, then, with the spirit of a high school girl sneaking over the school fence to get to a snack bar, she slipped her body over the terrace railing. "Just don't fall to your death." Taking a deep breath, Alosha began to move sideways, one careful step at a time. The fluttering of her dress in the occasional breeze was unsettling, but fortunately, she was about halfway there when—with perfect, infuriating timing—a loud *whoosh*…-

~Chapter 53~ The phrase on the poster, “If I wash away your sins, you will be saved,” which quoted a scripture, was strangely fitting. People stopped by the store and looked at the poster, laughing a little but also impressed. “A soap that washes away sins? Haha!” “I guess dirty skin is a sin for women.” “Really? Should I buy one for my wife too?” Even middle-aged men who normally didn’t care about beauty products bought several bars, saying they’d give them to their…

Chapter 64 A Tiring Meeting “Is it true that… the two of them haven’t even spent their first night together?” At Cecilia’s question, Perel’s ears turned bright red. “Well, I… I don’t really know about that…” He actually did know, but he couldn’t possibly talk about such things with an unmarried maid. Seeing his reaction, Cecilia’s expression hardened as if she had gotten her answer. “Oh my, that’s worse than I thought. Don’t tell me there’s something…

~Chapter 45~ Cedric silently calculated something and exchanged a few words with his aide to confirm some possibilities. Then, he wrote the revised content on the business plan. He never once asked for Harriet’s opinion, but she couldn’t really complain. ‘How can I jump in when I don’t even understand what they’re saying?’ Even though it was her business plan, watching Cedric expand and refine it made her feel strange. On one hand, she was happy to be recognized by him, but on the other…

Chapter 10 Everything was going smoothly. When I told my father that the Dowager Duchess of Cheskant and her acquaintances would also be accompanying us on the volunteer trip to Muteso, he even did a little shoulder dance. *'The Dowager Duchess of Cheskant must be considering you as the Duchess's wife once again. My child, Roseel. You must do well. You must win back the Dowager Duchess's heart. From what I know, the Dowager Duchess favors clever and calculating young ladies. How should I put…

~Chapter 54~ “Really? She thinks of the other person first? That’s surprising. Did she really come out of the monastery a changed person?” “I’m not sure exactly, but she definitely seems extremely careful about getting involved with men.” “She was hurt by love and even got cast out by her family… Oh! That was a slip of the tongue! Haha!” Bella was horrified that people were starting to feel sorry for Harriet. She had worked so hard to make Harriet seem like a pitiful, ugly…
