Chapter 18 They traveled throughout the morning, stopping around noon to eat and let the horses rest before continuing on. It was only around sunset that the group finally settled down at a suitable campsite. Penny got down from the carriage and patted her lower back. “Ahh. Riding in a carriage for so long is really hard. My stomach feels all queasy, too.” Penny turned to Leah, who was getting down after her. “How are you still so energetic, Princess?” Leah…

Chapter 30 If You Can't Avoid It, Try to Enjoy It At Hushin's sudden question, Yuri almost blurted out, "Yes." Honestly, she did not know if she really liked him, but she did not dislike him either. However, she could not reveal feelings that she was not even certain about. Even if she really did like him, it was not something she should answer so carelessly. For a long time, she had only secretly longed for him in her heart. At one point, she had even allowed herself to wish that she could meet…-

Chapter 29 Do You Like Me? After reading the expression on Madam Lee Hae-won's face, as if she already knew everything, Hushin asked her directly. “Did you hear something from Baek Seol-ah?” “No. Seol-ah's mother came to see me…. She said she had a fight with you because of that secretary.” As expected, she had come already knowing about Yuri's existence. Baek Seol-ah obviously would not have said a word about her own mistakes. She must have blamed everything on Yuri. Hushin briefly…

Chapter 28 A Difficult Man and a Strange Woman The moment he saw her lips slowly part, Hushin, unlike himself, suddenly felt impatient. The urge to enter her mouth as quickly as possible came first, and he firmly pulled her chin toward him. As he stared at her lips, now right in front of his eyes, and was about to bring his lips closer, Yuri's firm voice stopped him. “No!” Hushin slightly tilted his head and looked at her at an angle, his brows deeply furrowed. “Why?” “This…

Chapter 27 Try Kissing Me One More Time The next morning. Yuri arrived at work early and began preparing for the day's tasks as usual. Yesterday, after receiving comfort from Yi-seo on the rooftop and calming herself down, Yuri hurried back to the office. She was surprised when Sang-jin told her to go home. She had already been worried that she had been away from her desk for too long, so she was relieved when she heard that all of the afternoon's schedule had suddenly been canceled. After…

Chapter 26 She Cried “Whew, I was in such a hurry to get out that I didn’t even get to use the bathroom.” After delivering the promotional materials to the president’s office, Yi-seo was on her way to the elevator when she suddenly changed direction. The moment she opened the bathroom door, she was shocked by the unexpected sight before her, and her mouth fell open. Yuri and Seol-ah were standing face-to-face, both looking disheveled. “Oh my! Yuri… What is going on…

Chapter 30 With a loud thud, the gondola shook violently. “Ah!” As it felt like the boat might overturn at any moment, Elisha let out a short scream. The knuckles of the hand gripping the railing quickly turned white. Her face, which she had squeezed her eyes shut on, also turned pale in an instant. Just as she had told Princess Camilla, Elisha hated water. More precisely, she hated falling into water. She was fine in shallow water where her feet could touch the bottom, but being in a…-
