Chapter 10 The estate was huge. There were five large halls on the first floor, and the main building rose up seven floors. The Duke lived on the seventh floor, so Ilyin was only allowed up to the sixth. Lizzie’s explanation about the top floor was short. “Only the Red Delroses can go in. You can go in if you marry.” It meant guests were strictly forbidden. Ilyin wondered why there was only one main mansion, yet so many restricted areas inside it. Some corridors were clearly…-

Chapter 09 “Biflten is ruled by four families.” Ilyin could not immediately understand Lizzie’s explanation. Wasn’t Biflten ruled only by the Duke of Biflten? The maid with the red hair ribbon had disappeared earlier, and now maids wearing blue ribbons attended to her instead. Colors seemed important inside this castle. Lidan had introduced himself as part of the Blue North and wore blue tassels. The man with the crystal-blue eyes had worn red tassels. “The Blue North, the Red…

Chapter 08 Ilyin quickly stepped back. The blue cloth slipped from her head and fell onto the snow. What was that? Fear made her entire body tremble. Then— Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a black uniform decorated with red tassels. A man stood there. His voice was low and clear, almost like the growl of a beast. Unlike the others, he wore nothing covering his face despite the freezing storm. His eyes were a cold blue. His jawline was sharp. For a brief moment— Their eyes…

Chapter 07 The carriage shook nonstop. Ilyin tried to endure the freezing cold while forcing herself to sleep, but it was impossible. Her feet had already gone numb. She rubbed them repeatedly with her hands, trying to bring warmth back. Even inside the raging snowstorm, the carriage only moved faster. There was no way to know the time anymore. The sun had completely disappeared behind thick clouds and blizzards. The carriage passed through what looked like caves buried beneath snow. Then…

Chapter 06 “What is it now?” Even though it had been a week since he last saw her, Viscount Arlene did not look happy to see Ilyin. If anything, he looked annoyed. Ilyin quietly looked at her father. Was he ever a good father when I was young? Not really. He cared more about the reputation of the family than his own wife or daughter. Instead of pitying his wife after she lost her mind, he only became angry that she ruined the family’s image. Ilyin could not remember ever being loved by…

Chapter 05 If Ilyin had not seen it in her dream, she might have ignored it. But she already knew the answer. “If you don’t believe me, would you like to inspect the wagon yourself? We’re preparing it right now.” “Alright.” The merchant leader personally guided her to the wagons. Everything looked exactly like her dream. The only difference was the time. In the dream, it had been dawn. Now, it was late afternoon. The wagons were steadily being filled with thick cotton buffers. When…

Chapter 04 Ilyin had lived like this for more than twenty years.She was already used to the cold treatment, the strange looks, and the whispers behind her back. “A place that regularly sends supplies to the North. Most of the goods must be food that can last for months and come from warm regions.” That condition already narrowed it down to only a few places. Very few lands near Biflten had enough food to support large deliveries. Not many people wanted to live close to lands filled with…

Chapter 03 At that moment, the face of the leader changed drastically. If it were for other people, they would have thought he was laughing, but Ilyin knew. Even in Viscount’s mansion, she had seen maids who changed their attitudes strangely. It was mainly from new maids. They showed a strange attitude when they realized what Ilyin’s position was in the mansion and began to look down on her. But for the leader, it was the opposite. It was a more serious reaction. Ilyin, who…

Chapter 02 ‘What if I come out of Biflten?’ The relationship might fall apart after midnight. It was written in the recruitment of brides. Go back if you don’t like it. Still, I didn’t intend to return to this mansion. No one will welcome me anyway. My father, Viscount Arlene, doesn’t love me enough to accept me, who broke off the engagement and returned home. I’m sure he’ll kick me out by saying his reputation has been tarnished. Slam! The knight shut the door…
