She could feel his face coming closer and closer. Ba-dump, Ba-dump. Her heart pounded wildly in her chest. Chu, soft lips pressed gently against hers. Daisy clenched her trembling hands tightly. ‘Once our lips touch, it’ll be over, right?’ But things didn’t go as she had expected. “....!” Their wet lips slid against each other, locking in a deep kiss, and suddenly, his warm tongue swiftly slipped between her teeth. ‘Why is his tongue… pushing its way in?’ Behind her…- 415.4 K • Ongoing
- Marriage is a crazy thing. Dressed in a wedding gown with a veil atop her head, Daisy forced a smile onto her lips and straightened her back, trying to ignore the painful cramp building up. “Isn’t that bride the illegitimate daughter of Count Therese? She’s quite pretty.” “So what if she’s pretty? She’s about to become a widow nonetheless. It’s just pitiful.” “Indeed. It’s no better than selling off your own daughter.” The murmurs of the guests reached her ears, loud…

- Axion rose from his seat and moved toward her at an unhurried pace. ‘W-Why is he doing this?’ Taken aback by his sudden approach, Evelyn nearly let out a cry. She managed to stifle the sound, but her heart pounded wildly in her chest. Propping his chin in one hand, he gazed at her. “Are you nervous or something?” “…What?” Before she knew it, he had a handful of her rosy hair in his grasp, his eyes flickering with a dangerous light. There was something almost perilous in the…

- The Marchioness, unable to ignore how her daughter kept picking at her food, asked with a worried frown. Still lost in thoughts of her fiancé, Evelyn felt heat rise to her cheeks. She quickly composed herself, not wanting to worry anyone, and offered a vague excuse. “It’s nothing. I’m just a little tired, that’s all.” From across the table, Viaton, in the middle of slicing his steak, interjected with a drawl. “Hm, you looked completely spaced out to me.” His remark hit the…

- Even Evelyn, who had known her fiancé for ten years, sometimes found him difficult to deal with, so how much more so must it be for his subordinates? At times like this, it was best to simply let things go. She looked at the company manager with a hint of sympathy and replied calmly. “It’s quite alright.” Nevertheless, Axion’s mood still seemed less than sunny. “Axion, shall we go in now?” When she gently tugged at the edge of his sleeve, he finally managed a reluctant…

- Evelyn stared fixedly at the path that led in the opposite direction of her destination, then hurriedly turned to her trusted attendant. “Sir, what’s down that way?” Gideon glanced around, following her gesture, and soon replied with a touch of reluctance, “It’s best not to go near that place.” “What? Why not?” “Because it’s a den of the worst sort.” Evelyn was thoroughly bewildered by her attendant’s unusually serious words. And with good reason… It was…

- As if nothing had happened, Larie answered brightly and left the bedroom, leaving Evelyn to let out a soft sigh between her lips. “She truly is hopeless sometimes.” Her gaze drifted to the flower petals resting softly atop the duvet. “Did you actually trust me?” “…Well, something like that.” As the memory of that conversation with Axion surfaced out of nowhere, embarrassment flooded her green eyes. ‘Why did he look at me like…

- Evelyn couldn’t find the words to respond. Ever since meeting her current family, saying ‘I’m fine’ had become something of a reflex, a habit born out of not wanting to let them down. Moistening her lower lip, she finally spoke, her voice soft. “It was because of the necklace you gave me that I was able to stand my ground.” She hadn’t simply confronted the crazed noble without a plan. She’d thought that if she stalled for time, it wouldn’t be long before her fiancé came to find…

- Maybe it was the strange tension in the air, but Evelyn felt a chill creep down her spine for reasons she couldn’t quite explain. The man, his eyes filled with unmasked hostility, quietly began to murmur an incantation. Whoosh— In the next instant, golden chains infused with magic whipped through the air and coiled tightly around the young man’s body. “Argh—! Aaagh!” Evelyn looked on in alarm as the man in front of her suddenly cried out in pain without warning. ‘What’s…

- “So the rumors were true. There really is a beautiful young lady here.” Ugh. The stench of alcohol. At the sudden appearance of a drunken young nobleman, Evelyn instinctively furrowed her brows. “Are you not hearing a word I’m saying?” “Young lord, it seems you’ve had far too much to drink.” The fact that he was spouting such nonsense said it all. She bit back the rest of her words and clicked her tongue inwardly. However, the man, as if offended by her remark, suddenly…
