He figured she’d give up soon enough, unable to outlast her own fickle nature. After all, Judith Melveryn had never once managed to see anything through to the end, aside from her obsession with the crown prince. So, he hadn’t put much thought into the words when he said them. ‘A week? No, if she lasts more than four days, that’ll be a miracle.’ …Well, it wasn’t something he needed to worry about anyway. But Axel didn’t know. That the Judith Melveryn standing before him now…- 77.7 K • Ongoing
- He figured she must have understood by now. After all, he saw her soft, relaxed expression harden the moment he said his final words. When she finally shut her lips in a firm, straight line, he saw the Lady Melveryn he remembered. ‘Perhaps she’s come to her senses, albeit belatedly.’ …Still, the idea of Lady Melveryn confessing that she liked him? Even thinking back on it made him laugh under his breath. It was just that ridiculous. If even he couldn’t believe it, anyone else who had…

“In any case, you are here as my fiancée, are you not?” “Ah… Y-yes, of course! I’m indeed Elizabeth Bailey…!” “Of course.” Yet, as he answered, his expression hardly seemed suited to the situation. There was a hint of excitement on his face, he almost looked satisfied. “Then we’re settled.” He nodded slowly as he spoke again. Cynthia found herself at a loss for words, unsettled by his unreadable manner. “You must be tired. Allow me to escort you back to the…- 86.5 K • Ongoing
- Elizabeth Bailey… When Tesion asked the question, Cynthia couldn’t help but think of the heroine from the original novel. There was no doubt that she was truly beautiful. So that was why, despite her rather dreadful personality, there were always droves of men desperate for even the slightest touch from her. In the end, she even built herself a reverse harem… “…Elizabeth is beautiful.” “More so than me?” “Hmmm… Well, I suppose that’s a matter of personal taste, but to me,…

- ౨ৎ With the maid’s assistance, Cynthia somewhat managed to pull herself together. Still looking dazed, she sat at the table, waiting for Grand Duke Tesion Romanov. Soon, the rhythmic tapping of a cane hitting the marble floor echoed from the hallway. Cynthia quickly snapped to her senses and tidied up her appearance. A moment later, Grand Duke Romanov entered, his appearance flawless and impeccably put together. “Ah. G-good morning, Your Highness…” Cynthia rose…

- The evening meal was immensely satisfying. It wasn't just the endless stream of gourmet dishes that she usually couldn't even touch, but the fragrant wine only added to her cheerful mood. Sitting across from her, Tesion, who had been quietly eating, finally spoke up with a hint of concern in his voice. "My lady, the alcohol content in this wine is quite strong. You shouldn't push yourself too much." "Push myself? Refusing to drink such excellent wine would be an insult. To the wine itself, an…

- Tesion replied in a gentle voice, the smile never leaving his lips. Despite his inability to see, he was sharp and perceptive enough to grasp the situation with ease. ‘Was he always this quick to smile?’ For some reason, she felt strangely embarrassed. Cynthia lowered her gaze and busied herself looking at the tall trees around the garden. ‘Let’s just… focus on the garden.’ While wandering her eyes around, she spotted a quaint little arched bridge nestled between the…

- The moment she actually arrived at Grand Duke Romanov’s mansion, Cynthia began to fully grasp how insane her actions truly were. ‘Still, if I don’t get those five million mints, my life from here on won’t be any better than rotting away in a prison cell.' Now that escaping the novel by the female lead’s death had become a distant dream, Cynthia, who was still buried under a mountain of debt, desperately needed that money. “We’ve arrived, my lady.” “Huh? Already?” At the…

- Cynthia was so shocked that she froze in place, unable to say a word. “...” "What did you just do?" "Ah… w-well, um… it’s just that…" Even as she tried to explain what she had done, the words felt absurd to her own ears. She had forgotten, once again, that she was supposed to be Elizabeth, and began to stammer. “Th-the… h-hair…” “My hair?” A faint crease appeared on his otherwise smooth forehead. He frowned, clearly confused by what she was saying. ‘Ah,…

- There was no way the Grand Duke hadn’t noticed how different she was from their first encounter. And even if, by some insane stroke of luck, he hadn’t— ‘Why would anyone stay engaged to a woman who gets caught brushing his hair without asking or offers him a cookie that just hit her lap…’ Cynthia hung her head, despair written all over her face. Right next to her, completely oblivious to her mood, Dale chirped cheerfully, "Oh! He finished the cookies, didn’t he? The butter cookies…
