Chapter 12 Blonde hair and blue eyes. Her features were quite pretty, but not particularly memorable. And yet, Lumierre wondered why she looked so familiar. Then she remembered. Becky Wensler. She was well-liked by those around her, but in reality, she was vain and lied as easily as she breathed. ‘Was it about six months after I died?’ She had constantly stolen things and thrown her weight around, claiming that she was the Grand Duke’s woman. Eventually, she had been caught and…-

Chapter 11 “Hmm, I cannot do anything about the price of pepper, but I can offer you this silk at a lower price.” “Silk?” The merchant spread a piece of green silk across the table. “I heard that His Highness the Grand Duke is going to take Her Highness the Princess of Wijer as his wife this time.” “That is correct.” “You Northerners have lived here all your lives, so you probably do not know this, but clothing for Her Highness the Princess must be made from silk…

Chapter 20 Playing with Fire After dealing with Yoo Ji-han and coming outside, Hushin approached Yuri, who had been waiting for him. “How are you feeling? Should we go to the hospital?” “Ah, no. I’m fine. Thank you for helping me.” Although she said she was fine, she could not hide the anxious look on her face. On top of that, the dried tear marks on both of her cheeks kept bothering Hushin. “You’re my person. Isn’t it only natural for me to save you?” “Yes. I don’t…-

Chapter 18 Jin Yuri, You’re My Woman Now Hushin slowed his pace when the sound of Yuri’s hurried footsteps gradually grew distant behind him. When he still could not hear her catching up, he stopped completely. Then he slowly turned his head to look back. Yuri was standing quite a distance behind him, her wrist being held by a man. The moment Hushin saw the scene, his brow furrowed deeply. What the hell? Who is that bastard? He strode toward them with his long legs and stopped…

Chapter 17 That Dirty Hand—You Should Have Moved It When I Told You After entering his office, Yuri continued staring at Hushin’s back for a long while. Then she turned to Sang-jin, who was standing beside her, and asked, “Manager Lee, what exactly happened?” “I’m sorry, Secretary Jin. I couldn’t say anything to help you earlier.” Sang-jin was just as troubled by the situation. After finishing his meal with the representatives of the outside companies, Hushin had…

Chapter 16 His Ever-Changing Temper Yi-seo took two cans of soda from the vending machine and placed them on the table. Then, looking at the employee ID hanging from Yuri’s chest, she said, “Honestly, you really know how to surprise people.” “I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you beforehand.” “You did this on purpose, didn’t you?” “Yeah…. I was curious about what you’d look like working here. I wanted to see you.” “Anyway, you’re really something.” Only then…

Chapter 19 “Here is the list of party guests.” Ethan checked the list the butler handed him. The handwriting was neat and straight as if measured with a ruler, and the names were arranged alphabetically, making it easy to read. As Ethan casually looked through the names, his eyes narrowed slightly. “Her Highness said she absolutely wanted to celebrate the new beginning of the hero who saved the kingdom, so I had no choice but to include her on the list.” The butler, immediately…

Chapter 18 The invitation Ethan had given her clearly had the name ‘Elisha Leslie’ written on it. It had been made for her from the very beginning. So his saying he would give it to Mother was a lie after all. A blatant lie just to threaten me. Elisha had suspected as much, but seeing it with her own eyes made her even angrier. “How dare you threaten me? You damn bastard!” Cursing, Elisha tore the invitation into pieces. But even that did not calm her anger, so she…
