Chapter 29 Perhaps because his anger had eased somewhat after talking with Derek, Count Leslie no longer confined Elissa to her bedroom. However, he did not lift the ban on her going out. So when Elissa told him that she was going to the boating festival on the Amor River with Derek Grenville, the count was very pleased and said, 〈You don't have to come home that day.〉 What on earth was he talking about?

Chapter 26 The invitation from Princess Camilla arrived on the fourth day after Elissa was confined to her bedroom.

Chapter 27 My body keeps feeling stiff and uncomfortable, but at the same time, I even feel like it is tingling. What is wrong with me? This is driving me crazy. Complaining inwardly, Jii briefly glanced at the men before slowly turning her gaze toward Arang and staring at her. Perhaps her brain was not completely useless, because Arang sent them out of the room. “How was it?” As soon as the door closed, Arang asked anxiously. “…….” “Dong-in Heo, he didn't notice,…

Chapter 25 I grew up thinking that I would marry Im Sang-ah. I never once thought that I would marry Im Sang-ah's arms and legs. “What are you trying to say?” He asked because he truly did not understand. If he had taken a step back and considered her emotional state, he might have realized that his words and actions were completely outside the bounds of common sense. Unfortunately, Dong-in did not feel the need to look at Sang-ah's psychological state objectively. It would take quite…

How old are they?” It was the moment Jaehyun suddenly turned toward the elevator, struck by an ominous thought. —Mina. Mina. You know her because we met her together yesterday, right?
