Still, her voice sounded nearly identical to Elizabeth’s. Hadn’t Dale said the sisters shared a unique resonance in their tones? As long as she didn’t panic, there was no reason she’d be caught. So, trying her best to stay composed, Cynthia replied calmly, maintaining an air of indifference and chicness. “Of course not.” “…Is that so.” She quickly reached for the teacup in front of her, needing something to settle her pounding heart. “Has anything happened at the Bailey…- 86.5 K • Ongoing
- Dale, seemingly more nervous than before, kept wiping his hands on his thighs before finally speaking up. "You haven't forgotten what you've studied so far, right?" "Of course not." "And how did Lady Elizabeth speak again?" "Very haughty and rude." "Correct. And extremely so! So viciously that you'd wonder if someone could really be that terrible! Sharp-tongued and spiteful!" The truth was, Elizabeth had simply been frail since childhood, constantly suffering from headaches, which made…

- A heaviness settled over Cynthia as she looked at Dale, who still had his head bowed over the desk. “It’s been confirmed that one of the Bailey family’s inherited regions, Luteria, contains an enormous deposit of gemstones.” “Gemstones?” “Yes. A quantity so significant it could influence merchants not only within the former Dirotein Empire but also with other nations. But you don’t need to worry about the details… Here, take a look.” By then, Dale had slid the completed…

- ‘What a bunch of dramatic nonsense…’ Cynthia stood with her arms crossed, slightly leaning to one side. Dale observed her with a gentle smile in his eyes. “Our proposal is very simple. We only ask that you visit the Grand Duke’s estate when we call and spend some time with Grand Duke Tesion Romanov, Lady Elizabeth’s fiancé.” “…All I have to do is spend time with him?” “Yes. The meeting is expected to last about an hour, and all you need to do is have a brief…

- “Uh, yes?” “More! Say more, keep talking!” The noblewoman waved the fan in her hand in frantic circles, urging her on. Prompted by her insistence, Cynthia quickly opened her mouth. “Um… I-I just wanted to ask about the carriage accident…” “Oh my goodness!” “I can’t believe it!” As soon as Cynthia began speaking, gasps and cries of astonishment rang out from all directions. ‘...What’s so surprising about what I just said?’ She stopped again, visibly…

- “Huh? What did I say?” “N-No, it’s nothing. I must’ve misheard…!” The old man quickly adjusted his hat, turned bright red, and made a hasty retreat. Cynthia shrugged her shoulders awkwardly. ‘I forgot to watch what I say in public...’ Anyway! How could she escape from this novel? There was no clear answer. ‘Maybe...’ What if Elizabeth Bailey came of age quickly and mastered all the XX and XX with different men, like in the original story? In other words, if…

- “Getting involved will only bring trouble!” One by one, the bystanders began backing away from the wrecked, blood-soaked carriage. The smart choice was to leave the scene as quickly as possible and avoid any entanglement with that notorious family. “…He…lp…” “Huh? What did you say?” That was when Cynthia, her eyes unfocused, whispered in the faintest voice. The older woman leaned in, pressing her ear close to the young lady’s trembling lips. Cynthia…

- “Hht…” A faint moan echoed through the dimly lit room. Cynthia grasped the man’s shoulders as he pressed his lips to her neck, kissing her repeatedly. The polished metal of his military epaulettes felt cold against her hands. “Wait…” “Do you not like it?” The man, who had been trailing kisses along her jawline, lifted his head to meet her gaze. The moment she met his eyes, dark and glinting under the moonlight streaming through the large window,…

The day Judith first confessed to him, he honestly hadn’t even recognized her. And how could he? She looked nothing like the ‘Judith Melveryn’ he had known until then. The memory of her crouching under the soft blue moonlight, looking up at him, remained vivid in his mind. “P-Please go out with me!” Flushed cheeks, eyes sparkling like they held starlight, and a bright, innocent smile peeking through strands of pink hair blowing in the wind— He remembered it clearly. It was only…- 77.7 K • Ongoing
- “…My lady.” "Yes…” "I really didn’t want to say this, but... do you have a death wish or something?" Axel's expression was downright terrifying. His icy voice made me shudder involuntarily. "N-No..." "And you expect me to believe that ridiculous nonsense? At this point, I’m starting to think you're just doing this to mock me." It was unfair. He didn’t believe me when I simply said I liked him, so this time, I even explained my reasons, and now he thinks I’m mocking…
