She swallowed the laugh that threatened to rise and instead let her lips curve in a faint, unreadable smile. “Or is it that you hope to ensnare a high noble and climb the ranks that way?” What on earth was he saying now? If I’d intended that, I would’ve acted closer to Axion! She let the Crown Prince’s absurd words pass in one ear and out the other, refusing him so much as the flicker of a reaction. Still, he seemed tireless in his needling, pressing further. “Well, I suppose the…- 723.2 K • Ongoing
- He was going to say that out loud? Unable to mask her surprise, Evelyn glanced between her fiancé and Khalid. As she had feared, Axion’s expression twisted, as though he had just heard something utterly intolerable. “Evelyn, is that true?” His voice was devoid of inflection, yet his expression was lethally sharp. A peculiar tension seemed to seize every part of her, and she clutched her skirts tightly in both hands. She could hardly deny it now since she and Khalid were already friends.…

- She gathered her scattered samples and arranged them neatly on the table, her thoughts already swirling with possibilities. Then, glancing at the clock, her eyes widened in surprise. “Huuk— How did it get so late?” Hurriedly gathering her things, Evelyn made her way to the city square with her escort knight at her side. ︵‿୨ ₊‧꒰ა ཐི༏ཋྀ ໒꒱ ˚₊ ୧‿︵ The square was overflowing with people, all eager to catch a glimpse of the grand…

- “Ahh, I suppose I can believe you now. You’re soaked.” Maxim coated his fingers generously with her slick fluid and stretched it into a long string for her to see. Daisy’s face turned deathly pale at the sight. “You see this? This is all from you, Izzy. So, since it's already come to this, why not just do it?” “Haah, hng, let go...!” “Let’s not overcomplicate things. You’re wet, I’m hard. All that’s left is to put it in. Simple, right?” Maxim showed no signs of…

- In the past, just imagining a sum of that amount was enough to send her over the moon. It’s an odd thing. Strangely, now she felt nothing. “Your Highness, you look absolutely stunning. Truly, it’s like an angel descended from the heavens.” Mary bounced on her heels as she fussed over Daisy. Well, she might be right. She certainly put more effort into dressing up today than she had for her wedding. The wedding had been rushed, and she had to make do with a small dress, and no proper…

- On the day of Maxim von Waldeck’s homecoming party, the Waldeck townhouse was bustling with activity from the early morning. It was a momentous day, as it marked the arrival of House Waldeck’s two mistresses, who had spent most of their time in the outer territory, finally making their entrance into the royal palace. At least, that’s how it felt for the former Grand Duchess. She might have lost some of her grandeur with age, but she was still a noblewoman down to the marrow. She had been born…

- “Well, I definitely crossed a lot of lines that night…” That night, the Grand Duke and Duchess of Waldeck were like a pot about to boil over, too hot to handle. Remembering how close they came to going all the way—up to the verge of penetration—made Daisy’s stomach clench, the lingering ache in her lower belly still enough to make her shudder. But the moment things got too heated, she cussed him out, and she cried. She’d fallen asleep with her hands tied because of the man who said…

- "This is my mission, therefore, none of your business.” "Why not? Don’t you think the boss sent me because he knew you’d be a moping mess?!” Daisy was certain she would be more of a hindrance than a help. And the moment Daisy flatly rejected her offer, Rose practically exploded. It’s not like I didn’t do it because I wasn’t capable. Why is she being so dramatic about it? Daisy was at a complete loss. "W-we... kissed." Sure, there had been a sheet between them, but she did rub…

- If Rose found out about her divorce plan, she had no doubt it would go straight to Count Therese’s ears. And if that happened, then everything would fall apart. “…It’s actually my rival list. Do you know how much work it took to get? High-grade intel.” Daisy remained calm and immediately spun a believable excuse. “What? Rival?” “Yeah. A list of women in high society who are after Maxim von Waldeck." “Why the hell are you carrying something like this around? Are you planning…

- Even Evelyn, with no great expertise in art, could see at once the quality and mastery in the pieces that surrounded her. Soon, the attendant guiding her stopped before a hallway of an entirely different character from the one they had just traversed. “From here, my lady, you must go alone.” “Alone…?” She glanced toward the dim, shadowed corridor, her expression tightening with a flicker of unease. The attendant gave an apologetic smile. “The master is exceedingly thorough.” Of…
