Stella smiled at Leah and then clamped her mouth shut. After rolling around on the bed for a moment, she turned her attention back to the books. ‘These children’s books are useless.’ Most of the children’s fairy tale books she had featured fearsome dragons or evil villains who put the prince and princess in danger, leading them to fall in love. Dragons only existed in legends, and no villains could get into this northern castle with its ironclad security, so there was no chance Ignis would be…- 546.2 K • Ongoing
- Stella’s eyes began to twinkle like stars. It felt as though she had the entire world in her hands. Just the thought of being able to stay with Ignis and Karentina in the future filled her with immense happiness. ‘How can I get them married? Marriage is something that happens between people who love each other, right?’ The little girl found issues related to adults’ marriages and love too difficult to understand, so she threw the question back at Joseph, who was standing at a…

- Before Ignis returned, Karentina always made sure to have meals with her, no matter how busy she was. Stella always looked eagerly forward to that time. Stella held Leah and glanced at her brother. Ignis met her gaze as his eyes curved into a soft smile. 「 His Highness the Crown Prince has apologized. 」 Stella was lost in thought, remembering Karentina’s words. Something was strange. ‘I’m sure my brother didn’t properly apologize.’ It was…

- “Even though you must be busy, please spend a lot of time with Princess Stella. Time spent with family is the most precious.” “....” As mixed emotions surfaced on Ignis’s face, Karentina stifled a smile as she watched him. “Then, I’ll be on my way now.” Karentina, after greeting properly according to etiquette, left the greenhouse with Leah. As soon as they opened the door and stepped out, the chilly north wind brushed past her face. The dizziness in her head quickly…

- 「There was something strange attached to you, so I removed it.」 ‘...Ah!’ At that moment, she remembered what Zion had said to her when they returned to the castle. If Zion hadn’t discovered that magical mark back then… Karentina swallowed hard. ‘What am I going to do?’ She felt guilty, thinking that her unnecessary meddling to bring the male and female leads together might have twisted their relationship. ‘Since when did I become such a…

- ‘What’s this? He’s easier to understand than I thought.’ Ignis would probably be as beautiful as Stella if he smiled, but with his cold and stern expression, he never did. It seemed that only Stella got to see him smile. Soon, Karentina shifted her gaze away from him and stood up. “About Rublia.” “Yes?” “As the Young Lady said, the flower’s meaning is like a dog, but it’s still used as a good medicinal herb.” ‘...Why does he always compare things to dogs? Did he…

- Just as she sat in front of the flowerbed with Leah, smiling contentedly as she looked at the cute flowers, a long shadow suddenly fell over her head. Karentina mumbled without much thought. “Zion, do you happen to know the name of this flower? It’s really cute, but I can’t seem to figure out the name.” Zion, who was a formidable demon who had lived for such an immense amount of time, would probably know the names of flowers. Karentina, who had paused as she heard Zion’s words in…

- Darkness had already settled over the ducal castle as if a fierce storm had swept through. “Stella isn’t coming today…” Whether it was because she heard something from Gemma or figured it out on her own, Stella didn’t come to her room. ‘I could use the power of the soft, squishy rice cake at a time like this!’ Even though she smiled faintly and acted as if nothing was wrong, her mind was still unsettled. “Just... I have things to think about.” Karentina lay down on…

- Karentina sighed inwardly as she thought about the contents of the original story. Before becoming the Imperial Consort, Christina was known as the Swan of the Empire, the belle of the social scene. ‘She was graceful and beautiful above water, though beneath the surface, she engaged in all sorts of dirty deeds.’ The fact that the nobles believed the absurd story about Imperial Consort Christina’s illegitimate child was because she was considered a virtuous lady in social circles. Among the…

- Karentina arrived in her room and gulped down the water placed on the table. ‘Well, of course.’ She thought it was strange from the moment he was being so kind in the dining room. Pfft— “Male lead… Even though I look like this, I’m a true fan of the novel you came from.” Karentina wasn’t affected at all by Ignis’s rude behavior. In fact, it was so mild compared to what she expected that it was almost surprising. He seemed to be suspicious of Zion, though... She pursed…
