̊ · : * ✧* : · ̊ About ten minutes later, I was sipping my coffee alone. During that time— “Hah, so Belinda is also Ulysses’s girlfriend?” “Lady, too…?” “I was in a relationship with Ulysses for four years…” The cycle of rechecking, which I had lost count of how many times it had repeated, continued. Watching them like that, I couldn’t help but ask: “Why did you all keep it a secret?” “Well—” All three of them…- 485.7 K • Ongoing
- ̊ · : * ✧* : · ̊ I wasn’t sure why Yusril had shown up at Ulysses’s birthday, but it worked out in my favor. Just in time, we arrived at an empty gazebo. I sank into a chair and spoke up. “When did I go looking for you? I was actually looking for the real Duke.” “You found me, though.” His quiet voice echoed in my ear. At the same time, a large hand rested on the armrest of my chair. As the distance between us quickly closed, an unfamiliar…

- Ulysses was reputed to be the most upright person among the ‘Adulterous Five.’ A handsome man who was kind, gentle, and good-natured. That was how people saw him. ‘Hah… but seriously? Three-timing?’ Ulysses was also proud to be aboard the infidelity express. I never expected him to be innocent. ‘Out of all of them, the one who seemed the most normal? And he’s juggling three relationships?!’ Even Cleas was only juggling two relationships. ‘No, wait. It could be more…

- “I’m not asking you to take responsibility. I’ll take care of myself, so please let me stay by your side.” “I’ve already told you, I’m more than willing to invest as much as you need.” “I can’t be satisfied with a relationship bound by money alone. I want to share the same boat with you, my lady.” “You’re going to build an incredible merchant guild.” “What’s the point if my dreams have already changed?” “....” Repeating the same conversation every day…

- “We should leave Nikaearsha out. She doesn’t match their level anymore, does she? She’s just an empty husk, not even an Awakener.” “But wasn’t she the key figure in the ‘Akitane Deal’ this time?” “Hah, that’s just Delosif pulling strings to control public perception. They did it to protect the family’s reputation.” “…Yeah, it’s hard to believe Nikaearsha was able to pull off such a huge deal.” Mikarin smirked quietly to herself. ‘No matter how much my…

- Mikarin, Cleas, Raphael, Lucvan, Ulysses. Just recalling the chaotic web of these five adulterers was enough to give me a headache. ‘No, hold on. Raphael should be studying abroad right now.’ The thought of not having to see at least one of them was a relief. At that moment, Cleas lightly pushed aside my hair. “Hurry up and get ready. Or—” A low voice whispered against the white nape of my neck, where his fingers had brushed through my hair. “Do you want me to…

- ̊ · : * ✧ * : · ̊ ‘What kind of situation is this?’ I frowned as I found myself stuck between Cleas and Yusril. Meeting Yusril here was truly a golden opportunity. No matter how many times I had requested an audience with the Grand Duke’s household, the answer was always a flat rejection. ‘Today, I’ll absolutely make sure to meet the real Grand Duke!’ However, no matter what I said, Yusril kept slipping away, dodging me at every turn like a…

- Even before my return, Viscount Barento had looked out for me in his own way. Hmm. “I should go thank him.” “That’s a wonderful idea! He’ll definitely be very pleased!” Why does she like the idea of Viscount Barento being pleased so much? “I really hope… you two can get along well.” Viscount Barento held real influence in Delosif, so building a good relationship with him would be good. “Since it’s a special occasion, how about bringing him a gift?” I nodded…

- My heart raced. ‘First, let’s take another look at Alice’s profile.’ Since Alice wasn’t someone with special abilities, I wouldn’t be able to check anything specific regarding that. Still, there was no harm in seeing how it looked. — Name: Alice — Gender: Female — Age: 22 … — Personal Relations: Nikaearsha (Master), Arnold (Friend), Lena (Friend) ... — Talents: Service (B-rank) / Observant, Attentive, Dexterity I was a bit…

- Knowing the truth and suffering because of it… or living happily in ignorance. She would choose the former, though she wasn’t sure which was the right answer. “The ones who lied and deceived me were others, not you. Why would I resent the person who told me the truth?” “....” “Thanks to you, I was able to break free from the lies, even if it’s only now. Thank you.” “…But pain is still pain. That hurt doesn’t just go away.” Nikaearsha’s murmuring seemed less…
