Chapter 4 Leon was lying on the sofa in the sitting room next to the bedroom, kicking his feet, but quickly got up when I came in. “Bella!!” He ran over to me excitedly like a puppy seeing its owner. “But…” “Here! I brought you chocolates and candy!!” “No, not that. Your hair looks like a lion’s mane now?” His face looked confused, but his eyes were sharp. “My head was itchy, so I scratched it. Maybe I have fleas?” “Ew, I hate fleas. Bella, that’s…-

Chapter 3 “Not the duke’s wife, but the Grand Duke’s wife. To be exact, the Grand Duchess. Do I really have to explain this to you? Who was she again?” “Oh my, you’re so funny.” I’m not joking. I really don’t know. “Robin, can you help unload the luggage?” I learned his name from a middle-aged woman who politely greeted me. “My lady, why have you gotten so thin?” Her eyes welled up with tears. I didn’t know who she was, but seeing those tears she shed for me…

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…
