"This sweet little lady here offered me some candy. Would you like one too, young lord?" “Candy?” Recognizing the candy in the Tower Master’s hand, Lucion shot a sharp glare at Edith. Edith frantically shook her head. "No! He asked me for it, I swear!" Lucion’s eyes hardened, his icy glare shifting back to the Tower Master. "You really have no shame. You couldn’t find anyone else to rob, so you picked on a little girl?” "Rob? That’s not—" “Trash.” "Wait,…- 165.3 K • Ongoing
- Every breath he took sent Edith’s nerves on edge, the pounding of her heartbeat drowning out all other sounds. And finally— "…Yes, I do." His voice was lighter, like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. "By these vows, I now pronounce you husband and wife." Edith turned to Lucion, her face lighting up with a radiant smile. "May the blessings of God shine upon your future together." Starlight rained down from above. ✦ ✦ ✦ Edith kept rubbing the…

- Any warmth Edith felt vanished in an instant. It was as if her blood had turned to ice. She exhaled slowly, trying to steady herself as the chill seeped into her veins. Now, she finally understood why Lucion looked at her with so much pity. "Did you look into my background?" "I did. Father paid a hefty price to bring you here. If that’s not being sold off, then what is it?" "That’s not—!" "You say you accepted this marriage because you needed to? Seems to me it’s more like you…

- "I won’t deny it. I needed the protection that House Frost can provide me." Edith said gently. She had chosen him as her safe haven. That wasn’t the kind of thing a bride on her way to receive a blessing was expected to say, but it was the truth. There was no point in sugarcoating it with a fake excuse like love. That would only backfire. Since childhood, Lucion’s world had been shaped by betrayal and threats, rooting suspicion and mistrust in him. For someone like him, love was the…

- “Master Lucion, you’ve wounded me.” “Get lost.” “Hic, so heartless.” Lucion ignored Oscar’s crocodile tears and stormed toward Edith with a dangerous glint in his eye. "I distinctly told you three days." "But—" "Go wait. Be patient." Before Edith could protest, Lucion smirked and suddenly scooped her up. "Gah!" He lifted her by her underarms, and Edith helplessly thrashed her feet mid-air, her composure vanishing in an instant. "This is a position that…

- "I’ll send her flowers. Prepare a bouquet of chrysanthemums. The ones my aunt likes so much." "Flowers always make splendid gifts. An excellent choice, master." An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. His aunt, Marquis Leicester, suffered from a severe pollen allergy, so a bouquet of flowers would be as deadly as poison. Especially chrysanthemums, which triggered her worst reactions. It was the perfect "gift." "I’ll be sure to select the finest ones and have them delivered…

- That was definitely Lucion and Edith, but the scene was unfamiliar to her. ‘What the heck! Every time we fight, we try to kill each other, so wh-what…?!’ Heat rushed to Edith’s face, and she shook her head furiously. "Miss Edith! Are you alright?" "Becky?" "I thought something terrible had happened," Becky said, her voice shaky with worry as she sighed in relief. "Why? Is there still something wrong with the young master?" Edith asked urgently. ‘That can't be. I’m positive…

- “I can.” “Is that so?” Lucion clamped his mouth shut as Khalid’s penetrating gaze bore into him, making him feel as if his every thought was being exposed. Despite Lucion's rebellious attitude, the warmth in Khalid's eyes didn’t waver. "You’re just like your mother. Stubborn to the bone." "You’re worse than I am, Father. You knew she was genuine, and you still bought her." Khalid’s eyebrows shot up at Lucion’s sharp tone. ‘So, he’s not completely uninterested.…

- Though she said that, the truth was that Edith held no particular feelings toward Lucion. She didn’t like him, but she didn’t dislike him either. That’s all there was to it. She approached him because it was necessary for her survival. It didn’t matter to her what kind of life Lucion had lived or what his personality was like. He was just a means to an end. “But when I heard you were sick, I got worried. I was scared something might’ve happened to you, young master." After…

- Haah. Each breath she exhaled formed a visible white cloud in the freezing air. Her body shivered as the biting cold sank deep into her lungs. Edith gulped, her eyes scanning the bedroom, which was now entirely encased in ice. Jagged spikes of ice jutted from the floor and walls. Frost coated the windows, and massive icicles hung ominously from the ceiling. It was like stepping into an ice castle. Crash—! Suddenly, a cup flew through the air, smashing against the wall behind…
