“Rumor has it that your husband struck quite a nice deal with the royal family in exchange for his deployment.” “What kind of deal? Isn’t he supposed to be their loyal hunting dog?” A dog demanding food from its master? It made no sense. “Yes, but the royal family was in a tight spot. They needed time to orchestrate an escape to the outskirts.” The surprise attack had caught them completely off guard. Desperate times called for desperate measures. Which must be why that pervert…- 415.4 K • Ongoing
- Though he’d already explained the reasoning when she first started the mission, his explanation had been vague at best. Essentially, they thought it prudent to keep an eye on someone from the royalist faction, “just in case” And who better for the role than the royal family’s hunting dog himself? But this time, she wanted real answers. “Everyone else avoided the role like the plague, so I planted you here, just in case things went south.” And there he went with the same evasive…

- "What exactly did you say?" "I said that His Highness the Grand Duke has gone mad over a woman, and he’s dragged me along for a grueling night." The aide quickly glanced at his boss's reaction, a bit worried. Maxim von Waldeck chuckled as he pulled out a cigar. Fortunately, he seemed pleased. The aide swiftly struck a match and held it up for Maxim. "I suppose you also described my ideal type?" "Yes." "Let’s hear it." "A woman with honey-blonde hair, green eyes, fair skin, a…

- “This rose garden is the most beautiful spot in the Therese mansion. The fragrance grows even stronger at night. Do you feel it?” “...” “We have many rare seedlings that were imported here from overseas. Most of them are quite costly, but thanks to the gardener’s skill, they’re all flourishing beautifully again this year.” Therese’s butler had been tirelessly guiding Maxim von Waldeck around the rose garden, casting him an occasional glance. The Grand Duke of Waldeck offered…

- Even if she was set up as Count Therese’s illegitimate child or supposed real daughter, being married made her situation anything but normal. “Let’s just go tomorrow. We haven’t given them any notice, and you’ve had some wine…” “That’s why I’m saying we should go now. It’ll help me sober up a bit.” She hadn’t actually meant she wanted to go right now, but when she tried to convince him otherwise, Maxim remained adamant. “Even…

- “What? What on earth do you me—” “Sexual intercourse.” When the former grand duchess asked in disbelief, Maxim provided her with the explicit answer. “Cough, cough, ack, cough—” Daisy choked, completely flustered by his blunt response, her face turning bright red. “Izzy, are you all right?” “Y-yes, I’m…” “There’s no need to rush. Chew your food slowly.” It was like rubbing salt into her wound. Maxim, sitting beside her, handed her a glass of water…

- Why is he pressing me about this…? Is he mad? But why would he be mad about this? It was baffling. “Are you angry?” “No, I’m just worried that you might not be feeling well, Izzy.” Unexpectedly, his concern came across as warm. His cold demeanor had thrown her off, making her think he was angry just because of his serious expression. From the start, her role in this mission as “Daisy Therese,” or rather, “Daisy von Waldeck,” was to act timid and delicate, so she dutifully…

- Show me? Had he completely lost it? Daisy went pale. “N-no. I-I’m scared… hic, sob.” As Maxim reached for his robe, she quickly began to sob, stopping him immediately. “Oh, I nearly made the same mistake again. Thank you for stopping me. It does that on its own, so please don’t worry about it.” How on earth was she supposed to ignore something that massive? She wanted to call him out, but this man would probably say, "Oh, are you going to look after me? By all means, be my…

- “I’ll keep it short today, just for formality’s sake. Don’t be too disappointed.” That line he’d said so slyly wasn’t a joke. He’d meant it seriously. She didn’t even know where to begin calling him out. "Y-you… even undid the clasp." “That was just a habit of mine, I did it without thinking… a genuine mistake." With Daisy in tears as she fired off questions at him, Maxim looked completely at a loss. "I swear, I held back as much as I could. I’m sorry. I…

- As expected, I haven’t lost my touch. The moment she focused, tears began welling up in her eyes. It wasn’t difficult, given she genuinely felt helpless. The reason code name Easy had become an ace at “Clean” wasn’t just because of her assassination skills, it was also her top-notch acting. "I-I’m so sorry… I can’t do this. I… It’s my first time doing something like this, and I’m just so s-scared…" As their eyes met, Daisy began sobbing even more pitifully. "Hic, sniff,…
