"You should be relaxing at home during your vacation, so why summon me here?" "As I said, I wanted to check if you've picked up any news regarding House Calixt while I was gone." "And as I said, Emil Calixt has been holed up in Northern Ingscent, and it's been ages since anyone laid eyes on him. The only news I caught wind of was his fleeting visit to the capital last season." He didn’t show up this time either. I couldn't help but ponder Duke Calixt's intentions. 'Is he planning to confine…- 246.2 K • Ongoing
- "What are these?" It was a four-year itinerary outlining the curriculum I wanted to learn. I had Elena's help in creating a monthly outline detailing what subjects I would focus on. “Then there’s not much I can do if you wish for this desperately.” Dad raised his hands. “You may go." Before I knew it, I was leaping out of my seat and rushing to give my dad a hug. "I'll do my best not to disappoint you." “You could never disappoint me, no matter what it is you do. So feel free…

- The marquis patted my head and offered to provide a letter of recommendation should I ever need one. ‘I was thinking of studying independently rather than attending the academy.’ I hadn't expected to consider enrolling so suddenly. Moreover, the end of the year was approaching, and Rilford’s entrance exam would be held soon. However, even after returning home, my dilemma persisted. ‘Just meeting that professor doesn't guarantee I'll learn about the madness of the small kingdom.’ If…

- Immersed for quite some time, Marquis Raymon herself appeared engrossed, comfortably settled in one spot. ‘Come to think of it, where's Hildred?’ At some point, I noticed he was gone and started to wander around in search of him. ‘Could he have gone outside?’ Well, maybe he was bored. Books were not Hildred Raymon's forte; rather, they served as tools to expand his knowledge. While my appreciation for books aligned with his, I still found solace in the stability that comes with…

- I gracefully greeted her, "Hello, my lord. It's been a while." Since I said any tea made from flowers or herbs would be fine, she promptly instructed her butler, who was right by her side. "Your dress is very beautiful." “I chose my favorite dress when I heard we would be receiving a very special guest. It’s rewarding to see that your eyes are pleased, Miss Velsia." Hildred pulled out a chair for me. Being in the presence of the marquis, he had to be conscious of his every move. It…

- I hastily rushed out of the room, and my nanny, who was just entering, called after me. “My lady?” "Ah, it's nothing!" Tat, tat, tat, rushing down the stairs, I reached the office where my mother was organizing the ledgers. "I'm going to visit Marquis Raymon." The general butler and my mom, who were closing the ledgers for the month, both widened their eyes. "Raymon? What's the sudden reason?" It might be more effective if I express a curiosity for acquiring books, rather than…

- "Ah, t-that person was summoned by the head maid, so they had to step away for a moment." "I guess you’ll do, then." “Pardon?” The maid replied, wondering if he was pointing to the oak barrel, and then pulled the cart into the room. "If you needed firewood, you could have called..." “Does seeing me outside of my room scare you?” Unable to respond, the maid fell silent. It was an unspoken confirmation. Creaak. As the door creaked open, the maid's hand reached toward the…

- We abandoned our plan to bribe the merchant delivering the groceries. Apparently, Duke Calixt's influence among the high-ranking nobility was so formidable that nobody dared to double-cross him, afraid of facing not only the termination of business ties but also potential retaliation. Instead, I opted for a different approach. Clip-Clop… “Agh, why are these horses suddenly stopping?" Before the journey, I had sprinkled a favorable scent of horses along the road leading to Duke Calixt's…

- "Oh, goodness, my lady… You don't look so good…" She left for a moment and returned with some medicine and a handkerchief to comfort my stomach. Isana was also present. "Are you hurting anywhere? You don't have a fever, but please hold on for a moment." Isana handed me lukewarm water with the medicine, and she handled it very cautiously. "Are you feeling this way because of the young lord?" Their question left me speechless. 'Am I truly worried about Emil or the unsettling…

- “M-Miss Lancaster…” After that, things took a turn for the worse. Valencia found me standing in the corridor and approached. “Lady Velsia…” I thought she was alone, but Hildred wasn’t far behind her. "What happened to Emil Calixt?" Examining my urgent expression, he quickly surmised what had happened. “I’m assuming Duke Calixt took him?” “…” “Did something happen in the process of the duke taking him away?” "You– I don't want to talk to you right…
