Chapter 2 The day Lumiere was born. Her mother was executed for uttering an ominous prophecy. ‘The day the black falcon of the North spreads its wings, a shadow will fall over the sun.’ It meant that the black falcon symbolizing the Grand Duchy of Winterheim would cover the sun of the Wijer Empire.

Chapter 9 It’s Best to Avoid Dirty Things Seol-ah walked over in heels so high that they looked intimidating. After briefly looking at Yuri, who was dressed in a robe, she stepped right up to her. Before Yuri could even move away, Seol-ah slapped her across the cheek. Smack! “Ah.” Yuri’s vision flashed, and her left cheek burned. A clear red mark remained on her cheek where Seol-ah’s hand had struck her. “What the hell are you doing…?” “That’s your punishment…

Chapter 8 The Man Who Can Do Everything With a faint hope that he might still be there, Yuri carefully opened the bedroom door and stepped into the living room. Fortunately, Hushin was nowhere to be seen. Well, at this hour, he should naturally have already gone to work. Yuri was thirsty, so she walked toward the kitchen. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she was instinctively drawn toward the island table by a savory smell that tickled her nose. The moment she saw the table, Yuri's…

Chapter 7 Because You Were My First While Yuri was sharing a passionate kiss with Hushin, her back suddenly sank onto the soft mattress. “Ah.” Startled, Yuri opened her eyes. Hushin’s heated gaze was fixed on her wide, round eyes. “If you’re surprised by just this much, you’re making me embarrassed. Relax.” Yuri could read his strong determination in Hushin’s eyes as they met. However, she did not know what to do because she felt awkward and embarrassed lying beneath…

Chapter 5 Confidentiality Agreement Hyunwoo, who had been fiddling with his empty glass, carefully began to speak. “Um….” When he hesitated and took his time, Yuri spoke first. “Father, I mean… Chief Jang. I’ll go see him soon, so please explain things well to him so that he won’t be too shocked.” “Yuri…. I was completely in the wrong.

Chapter 4 Breaking Off the Engagement Husin had Sangjin, the chief secretary, investigate Yuri's background because he had become curious about her past. He had more or less guessed what had happened, but he confirmed that Joo Sang-hee had taken Yuri, who had been left at an orphanage without parents, and raised her as a shield for her daughter, Seol-ah, training her to obey her every command. No wonder she had looked so sorrowful when he first saw her, as if she had some kind of sad…

Chapter 3 Tell Me the Real Reason You Came to Me Perhaps he liked seeing her flustered. After widening the distance between himself and Yuri a little, Hushin spoke in a deep, heavy voice. ‘Well, forget about that. How about I make you a proposal, Ms. Jin Yuri?’ ‘…….’ ‘I also really need a secretary who works as hard as you do. Would you consider coming to work for me?’ ‘Ha! What kind of ridiculous… Are you saying you want to recruit me even though I’m your…
