Chapter 42 While I shuddered at the chilling sense of foreboding, Green’s ray carrying me had already made its way to the front of the crowd that had been fleeing with us. Around then, the ray slowly stopped moving and sank toward the ground. Soon, it exploded all of itself except for one small ray, and Green’s voice came through. “There’s a little more room now.

Chapter 19 From the moment Lumiela arrived in the North until now, the Grand Duke's Castle had been anything but peaceful. There had already been a great deal of tension because they had replaced the merchants they had previously done business with. And now that Becky had been driven out as well, there was no way the atmosphere could be anything but unsettled. ‘I guess I wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep.’ Ora could not fall asleep, and old memories kept coming to her for no…-

Chapter 18 Kaiden, walking with a stiff expression, deeply frowned and muttered a curse. “Fuck….” He was on his way back after handing over a woman named Becky to the soldiers in the underground prison. The maid’s eyes had been full of confidence that he would help her. “P-Please save me. My lord, I really only did what Her Highness the Princess ordered me to do……!” And when he remembered how she had continued to slander Her Highness even after her crime was…

Chapter 37 Marriage Announcement Yuri and Yi-seo entered a sundae-guk restaurant near the company that was famous for its food. Because of the chilly weather, the tables quickly filled up. Yi-seo’s eyes lit up as she stared at the steaming bowl filled with plenty of tender sundae in rich, savory broth. Blowing on a hot piece of sundae before eating it, Yi-seo said, “We were lucky today. We got in without having to wait in line.” “Really? I didn’t know this place was that…-

Chapter 36 Things That Need to Be Kept Secret It had already been more than two weeks since Yuri started working as Hu-shin’s secretary. After the coffee incident, Hyun-joo had been cold toward Yuri for several days, barely speaking to her about anything other than work. Whenever they were alone, Hyun-joo would occasionally throw out some outrageous comment that left Yuri sweating with embarrassment, but overall, they were getting along well enough. As usual, Yuri was the first to arrive…

Chapter 35 If You Know, Do Better From Now On After leaving Hu-shin’s office, Hyun-joo walked back to her desk like someone in a daze and sat down. Seeing her like that, Yuri carefully asked, “Hyun-joo, did something happen? Your face looks….” Hyun-joo shot Yuri a brief glare before answering bluntly. “The Vice President told me to bring his morning coffee again. He said Secretary Jin should do it herself.” “What? No way….” “That’s what he said. I was a…

Chapter 36 By the time they reached the Petra Kingdom's delegation heading toward the Kingdom of Moro, Baron Ethan Esteban was a complete outsider. Not only was Prince Alex the head of the delegation and most of its members his close associates, but Ethan himself also made no effort to fit in with them. Whenever someone spoke to him, Ethan gave only the bare minimum response, and even that was cold and indifferent. He treated Prince Alex the exact same way. “He’s being treated…-

Chapter 35 “So, in the end, Derek Grenville proposed to Elisa Leslie…” After hearing the report from his aide, Prince Howard let out a groan and rubbed his throbbing temples. He had heard that Derek would propose to Elisa soon, but he never expected him to do it immediately after being discharged, much less in the hospital lobby. “At least it happened after Ethan left the capital.” If Ethan had still been in the capital and heard this news, he would have refused to go to…

Chapter 34 Only then did Ethan finally speak, his voice low and hoarse. Howard was annoyed that Ethan was still saying such things at a time like this, but he could not argue with him because he knew what was written in the contract. There were two clauses in the contract in question. First. If Ethan went to war and returned safely, Count Leslie would acknowledge the relationship between Elisa Leslie and Ethan. Second. The contents of the contract were not to be disclosed to…

Chapter 33 “Anything else.” Jii deliberately paused for a moment to make the atmosphere more dramatic. “……” “……” “What else did he say?” Sang-ah urged her impatiently. This, too, was one of the tactics in a battle of wills. When the other person became impatient, the balance that had been held so tightly would naturally begin to tip toward her side. And that meant gaining the upper hand and taking one step closer to victory. “He asked whether I had…-
