Chapter 47 At Aurelia’s words, David merely shook his head and let out a gentle laugh. She had turned him down so coldly, yet here she was back home, wearing her discomfort on her sleeve, asking how he could possibly know. “It’s not just because you’re my daughter... Lily, you’re simply far too easy to read.” David meant every word of it. That was why he felt all the more sorry for Aiden, who hadn't even noticed the heart of this easy-to-read woman before jumping headfirst into a…-

Chapter 46 It was a question packed with many meanings. From the very beginning, there had been no assumption that Aurelia would become a pianist. The question was meant to ask why she wouldn't marry him instead of choosing between becoming a copyist or a tutor. "I have plenty of plans. I’ll tell you the details later. Nothing is set in stone yet." "Are you going to keep working under someone else? If that's the case..." Aiden paused for a moment. Seeing him take a deep breath, it seemed as…

Chapter 45 “Right, I understand. I’ll leave quickly.” Noticing her flickering, uncertain gaze, Ethan left Eroica behind like that. The shoulders of Ethan as he turned to leave were so broad. “Ethan……!” Calling out his name toward that departing back was not something Eroica’s mouth had done of its own volition. Ethan turned his head slightly toward her with a bright, welcoming heart. Eroica’s silver hair was shining brilliantly, just like the day she had first come to find…-

Chapter 44 Kailef felt displeased as he read Andrea's thoughts while his older brother looked at him fondly. Why was he falling for such a ridiculous act? It was not as if Andrea had been the first to reach out to him in the imperial palace, where no one had ever extended a hand to him. Even Andrea, despite his kind nature, had found Kailef's existence burdensome. Their relationship had merely stopped at the point where Andrea did not hate him. When Kailef dethroned his father and…

Chapter 43 “Just wait and see. Whatever that revenge may be.” Revenge breeds revenge. The only things their eyes were fixed upon were each other. Eroica, who never avoided Kylev’s gaze, once again noticed a small gap forming between them. In the end, he stepped back, and the sight made her sneer. “It won’t hurt as much as what I give you.” She slipped through the gap and leaned closer, whispering into his ear. Her voice was so quiet that only Kylev could hear…

Chapter 41 At the end of his gaze, he saw a pit. It was a small pit filled with a thick-looking black liquid. It was not as if it were boiling inside a pot, yet bubbles were rising from it. Whenever those bubbles grew too large and burst, something like spores floated away on the wind and spread through the air. “That is the curse. If you leave it alone, the seeds of the curse will spread all over the place like that.” That was why it was the first thing they had to get rid of.…-

Chapter 43 I could not understand why the Empress had summoned me to the Imperial Palace that day. However, judging by Ray's reaction, I could only guess that it was probably not for anything good. And because I thought the reason might be related to the struggle for the throne, there was nothing I could do. All I had was my status as a noble. ‘I need power.’ I needed to have something in my hands so that when my friend was in trouble, I could at least use that something to help…

Chapter 42 It was the Empress’s question about whether there was someone Raymund was interested in. Deep down, Seiana had hoped that he might be conscious of her as a woman, but Raymund was firm. “Absolutely no one.” It was good that ‘……Ro’ was not included either, but that also meant he did not see her as a woman, so Raymund felt disappointed. Silence settled between the two of them, but Raymund’s mind was anything but quiet. The Empress’s…

Chapter 24 The Male Lead Went Crazy Over the Troublesome Villainess The people began moving according to the cook's gestures. “Don't pour all the oil out. We need to take the rest up with us, so spread only a thin layer across the bottom.” “Up? Where?” “Onto the wagons.” The cook pointed with his chin toward the cargo wagons. Everyone nodded and climbed onto the wagons. The coachman threw up ropes, and the porters pulled the barrels of oil up. The maids each took a…-

Chapter 25 “Owen……?” The employee, who had been about to frown and treat them as troublesome customers, opened his eyes wide when he suddenly heard Owen’s name. “Count Namoi? Wh-who? This man?” Owen, who had suddenly been thrown out as bait, looked bewildered, while the employee stammered in disbelief. Meanwhile, Pesha casually shrugged her shoulders and said, “Yes. We came because of a business matter related to the East.” The employee, who had been flustered…-
