︵‿୨ ₊‧꒰ა ୨ৎ ໒꒱ ‧₊ ୧‿︵ The expression on the Grand Duke's face as he looked at me was strange. Somehow, he almost looked displeased. “The imperial family would never approve of a marriage between two ducal families.” “....?” Why was he pointing out something everyone already knew? ‘Whatever, now’s really not the time for this.’ I pulled him aside into a shadowy corner. “I’m sorry for grabbing you out of nowhere, but I…- 485.7 K • Ongoing
- After saying that, I glanced around. ‘I still don’t see anyone from the Duke of Akelos’s family.’ Did he not come today? The book club meeting wasn’t just a social gathering. With members like these, they sometimes debate real policies and those decisions could even be adopted. ‘That’s why I thought he would definitely come to the book club meeting…’ Perhaps I should have sent a letter… No, if a letter went from House Delosif to House Akelos, even the emperor would take…

- I just stared at the person listed in the family register, who suddenly started to cry in front of me. Honestly, I had no idea what to do. “Hey, why are you crying…?” “I’m not asking for your forgiveness.” Of course not. It was true that I was an idiot. It was also true that I got into a lot of trouble and tarnished the family name. All the foolish things I did were handled by Akain and Zerno. Especially Akain, who had to take responsibility instead of Zerno, who was the heir and…

- Serkael, who had been listening to our conversation, seemed to have finally caught on to the misunderstanding. He asked flatly. “Honestly, I’d like to know how ‘body’ got twisted into ‘breeding’.” "…That bastard, is he messing with me?" "Calm down. It’s not his fault God didn’t grant Serkael any social skills." Serkael’s face twisted in annoyance. “God is a made-up concept invented by humans seeking salvation. Divine power is simply mana that exists in…

- The aura shot out from Zerno and instantly wrapped around Serkael. Of course, Serkael didn’t just let himself be caught. As he swiftly leaped back and began chanting, cracks began to form in the chains of aura with the chanting of the spell. “D-Did the Tower Master just retreat? Wait, is he chanting? He’s actually chanting a spell? “A jump? He can do something like that?” “No, the chanting is even more surprising! The man who always used magic without chanting is actually chanting…

- “It would have been a lot better if you hadn't shown your face, but it's a shame.” "Brother Akain, you still make such funny jokes." Cleas let out a light laugh, but his eyes stayed cold. ‘Akain’s instincts are as sharp as ever.’ Like an animal. Akain had instincts as sharp as any wild animal. Even without knowing his true intentions, he was already wary. ‘As expected, there’s no point trying to probe Akain…’ Considering family standing, social influence, and everything…

- I spoke to Alice. “I need to wash up.” “Should I bring you a wet towel?” “No, I’ll use the bathroom.” “Understood.” Alice quickly ran off to prepare the bath. And somehow, she got the water temperature absolutely perfect. ‘What did she even put in the water?’ It smelled sweet, like milk, but felt light and silky on my skin, almost like floating in a cloud. The way the water wrapped around me was softer and smoother than silk. ︵‿୨ ₊‧꒰ა…

- Cleas let out a small laugh. “You really think it’s a relief that your rival in love is still alive?” “I may have fallen for you, but that doesn’t mean I hate my sister. I still want her to be happy.” “You’re something else. You betrayed your beloved sister, all because of me.” “You’re the one who made me this way.” Mikarin gave him a soft, pitiful smile and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Keep painting me with your colors. If you want it, I’ll do anything…

- Mikarin rushed toward Cleas. Then, grabbing both of his hands, she spoke with a trembling voice. "Please don’t do this. I’m really scared…” It was the day of Cleas and Nikaearsha’s engagement ceremony. “Lady Mikarin Telsi?” “Ah…!” Mikarin was quietly crying in a corner. “What's going on? Did someone behave rudely toward my fiancée’s cousin?” “No, not at all. Everyone’s been very…

- They had assumed she had long forgotten her dead mother. They thought she was the type of person who couldn't even be bothered to offer a proper greeting. Suddenly, a deafening shout rang out, striking like a bolt of lightning. “This spirit stone isn’t our mother—!” It was Zerno. The man, who never showed emotion, scowled fiercely, his fury evident on his face. “You ended up like this because of that thing! How many more foolish things are you going to do...!” “Then...…
