Chapter 9 “Are you scared? There’s no need to be so surprised. Those two are always like that.” The family physician, Ayla, had approached me at some point and whispered quietly. “Huh?” “Whether positive or negative, Cain is pretty much the only person who can get a reaction out of Vael. From Vael’s perspective, Cain is the only guardian he’s had since he was four years old. And from Cain’s perspective, Vael is the nephew he cares about most in the world.” “……How did…-

Chapter 8 Cain took Luciela, who was carrying the tray, toward a room tucked away in a corner of the second floor of the ducal residence. As Luciela walked along the long corridor, she suddenly stopped. Despite it being the middle of the day, the atmosphere in the hallway was gloomy, and very little light entered. The old carpet covering the floor was worn and faded in numerous places. As though servants rarely passed through this area, only the stale smell of dust and a chilly coldness…

Chapter 7 Luciela swallowed as she looked over the kitchen equipment. Fortunately, Cain had been telling the truth when he said that she had been examined by a doctor while she was unconscious. The sensation in her fingertips had returned. “Let’s see…” After washing her hands with the water that had been prepared, Luciela searched through the pile of kabocha pumpkins stacked in the corner of the kitchen and picked up one that was small but surprisingly heavy. “I’ll make kabocha…

Chapter 6 The scenery of the ducal residence was so overwhelming that even calling it magnificent seemed insufficient. Elaborately carved marble pillars and meticulously maintained gardens that seemed to stretch on forever. The Vellaon family had always been wealthy, but the rumor that the current duke had tripled the family’s fortune during his reign did not seem exaggerated at all. After leaving the carriage to Lucan, Cain took Luciela and headed straight for the kitchen of the ducal…

Chapter 5 The fact that Mother occasionally disappeared meant that I had to be left on my own. That was why Mother used every bit of knowledge she had to prepare me for the world. “Lucy, when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you need to run away immediately. Sneaking in among pirates is one option, too. They’re always looking for good cooks.” “Lucy, the year you turn ten, there’ll be a typhoon in the South Sea, and the price of sugar will skyrocket when you’re eleven. Let’s…

Chapter 4 “……!” Cain’s molars sank into the crispy, fried exterior of the potato. Then the fluffy flesh inside melted across his tongue, releasing the rich umami of butter. It was an incredibly sophisticated and elaborate flavor for something as simple as a potato. What amazed him most was the seasoning. Between the saltiness of the coarse salt, layers of an unfamiliar dried herb aroma unfolded one after another. The combination cut sharply through the richness of the butter…

Chapter 3 “I thought we wouldn’t be able to catch her until that person joined the extermination force……” “Basilisk poison! Spit it here! This is the right guy!” “Exactly. There was someone here…… Oh my? This person……!” The woman examined Cain’s body and suddenly noticed the crest of the Bellaon family. She flinched in surprise. Then, as though she knew him personally, she brushed Cain’s hair aside and examined his face. She even opened his eyelids with her…

Chapter 2 “They say that food made with this tastes like heaven. No matter how much you complain about the fishy smell or anything else, do you really think the lord, who can’t forget this taste, will take your side……” “So you’re the thief.” Luciela muttered in a low voice. “What?” “That belongs to me. To me and my mother.” Luciela pointed at the bottle Nigel was shaking. “Do you know how carefully I had to figure out the ingredient ratios just to make one…

Chapter 1 “177…… 178…… 179!” Luciela straightened her back after crouching on the kitchen floor. Just ten seconds of rest. “Huff…” She panted heavily as she looked at the enormous pile of potatoes she had prepared. Every potato, peeled until its surface was smooth and gleaming, looked plump and delicious. But all that came from Luciela’s mouth was a sigh. The number of potatoes she had peeled since morning was a whopping 179. Which meant she still had fifty more to…

Chapter 11 Spring of 1861, Tavern Near Maponaru, Hanseong Body servant Gak-sim had changed my appearance. I was dressed like an ordinary child from a jungin family. Instead of silk clothes, I wore cotton, and instead of a manggeon, I wore an ordinary tanggeon. Household servant Mak-soe followed behind me. The inside of the tavern was noisy. Porters and boatmen were drinking, while a group of bobusang had occupied one corner. Their bundles of goods were set down beside them as they ate their…-
