Chapter 1. Our Child Could Never Be the Second Lead (1) “Semin, I like your movies.” As usual, Dokyeom was gentle, though there was a slight tremor in his voice as he confessed his feelings to Semin. His pronunciation was clear, but his gaze was turned slightly away. Semin liked even these shy moments of his. “I like your acting when it’s captured on my camera, too. I always have. From the very beginning.” As Semin continued her answer, Dokyeom’s face brightened. When their…-

Chapter 25 “Yes, apparently.” “I can think of one reason, but I wonder if that’s the only one. The moment I danced with the secretary, that man grabbed her arm and rushed onto the terrace with her.” The Crown Prince smiled slyly. “Could he have been swept up in a moment of passion, just like my traitorous father?” His gaze remained fixed in midair, as though he were picturing the terrace from that night. Even when Kisha reached out like a white snake and stroked the area near…-

Chapter 24 “…And that’s why I like living as Mia Lisicha. I like this world, too.” For a moment, Asad could say nothing in response to her honest confession. Mia scooped a spoonful of sugar with the teaspoon and dropped it into her teacup. The white sugar dissolved instantly into the reddish tea. She lifted the cup, took a sip, and smiled. “I never want to go back to my old life.” Mia gazed out the window. The garden outside was lush and green. Judging by the silence that…

Chapter 23 Asad buried his gaze in the stack of papers once again. “First, an environmental analysis. What are our strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats?” After reading through the papers for a long time without even noticing that his tea had gone cold, he furrowed his brow. “This is practically a business proposal. So what you’re trying to say is…” Mia swallowed hard. This moment was just as nerve-racking as the corporate recruitment interviews she had once…

Chapter 22 Even a funeral probably wouldn’t have felt this heavy. Early the morning after the ball, the dining room of the Uliel residence was filled with nothing but the clinking of silverware instead of conversation. Even Shuri, who was usually so talkative, couldn’t bring herself to say anything. It was only well after the meal had begun that she finally spoke. “Um, Your Grace. The food on your plate doesn’t seem to be getting any less.” “Hm?” Asad lifted his head from…

Chapter 21 “The number of Uliel knights who died beyond the border over the past three years because of the Crown Prince’s greed to awaken his ability on the battlefield.” Asad paused. “When the social season ends, the Crown Prince will summon the knights to another battlefield again.” Asad recalled the battlefield he had stood on until only recently. “Waaaaah—!” A tremendous rumble shook the earth. It was the roar of the foreign tribes lined up across from the…

Chapter 20 “What an idiot…!” For a moment, Asad’s hand instinctively reached for the sword that wasn’t there at his waist. He looked ready to charge forward and cut the young man’s throat on the spot. It was Mia who brought him back to his senses. “No, Your Grace.” She grabbed his arm and shook her head with frightened eyes. Asad barely managed to regain his composure before gritting his teeth and whispering, “What happened?” “I-I don’t know either. In the…

Chapter 19 “Yes, now that I think about it…” The people watching were stunned. Asad had begun pressing his left chest awkwardly, pretending to be distracted. It was an obviously terrible performance. “I think I’m breaking out in a rash here. Is this wine from the South, by any chance?” “Yes, it is, Your Grace…” The servant pouring the wine cautiously nodded. What? The Grand Duke really does get hives when he drinks wine? I just blurted that out! Mia was the only one…

Chapter 18 “Your Highness!” At the Crown Prince’s voice, the aide who had been waiting behind him stepped forward. “Tell the head maid to bring this young lady a dress suitable for her. I’ll change and head to the ballroom.” “Yes, Your Highness.” The aide hurried away to carry out his master’s orders. Only Mia remained standing there, staring at the tips of her toes. “Then, I’ll see you in the ballroom.” The Crown Prince awkwardly reached out and took her limp…

Chapter 17 Asad let out a short scoff. Kisha was glad to see even that slight change in his expression, even if it was a look of contempt. “People with nothing better to do.” “Please dance the next song with me.” He glared sharply at Kisha as though he could no longer tolerate her. “Leave me alone, Kisha Astrid. Don’t make me bring up that night when you came to see me yourself. It may be none of my business, but wouldn’t it be wiser for you to conduct yourself according to…
