Chapter 16 Just as the young man beside them was about to accidentally collide with Mia, Asad noticed what was happening a split second earlier. He wrapped an arm around Mia’s waist from behind and lifted her clean off the ground. That intoxicating fragrance once again clouded Mia’s senses. Instead of Mia, Asad’s turned back collided with the young man. The young man, who was inexperienced at dancing, flushed and apologized. As the song ended, Asad skillfully took Mia’s hand again…-

Chapter 15 Asad elegantly bent his extended hand toward his body, then gave a slight bow of his head. It was a military salute. After raising his head, he walked past her with an indifferent expression. Kisha’s ring-adorned hand was still suspended in the air. Her cheeks turned as red as the dress she was wearing. People who loved gossip saw the scene and began whispering among themselves. “What was that? He practically sent a cold breeze blowing through here. Wasn’t the rumor that…

Chapter 14 Kisha bit her lip in frustration. Junpei pretended to be shocked. “Surely you don’t still believe that lie? That you rejected Grand Duke Uliel’s advances? Hahaha. Honestly, our Crown Prince really is blind when it comes to these things.” “If you only came here to tease me, leave.” “I couldn’t possibly do that. We still have business to discuss. What happened with the plan to invest part of the debutante donations in the mines?” “His Highness promised an…

Chapter 13 Asad suddenly joined their conversation. His shirt was soaked with sweat and clung tightly to his body, as though he had just finished a swordsmanship sparring session. He must be heading to the bathhouse soon after sweating like that. Remembering the matter of assisting him with his bath, Mia unconsciously swallowed. “Secretary?” “Ah, yes! As far as I know, one of Sofia’s cousins is an apprentice at a dressmaker’s shop, and she’s very talented. Talented enough to finish…

Chapter 12 “What? Grand Duke. You just said that reading a young woman’s personal letter was improper.” “You said she might be plotting something. Isn’t it your job to find out information that could pose a threat to me?” “Ah, yes…” The Grand Duke really was completely self-serving. He acted as though he cared about maintaining his dignity while making sure he got everything he wanted. Shuri grumbled under his breath, but nevertheless proceeded to recite the contents of…

Chapter 11 Mia felt as though she were dreaming. She wanted to let out a huge cheer. But she couldn't. If she actually shouted, she might become permanently hated by everyone in the residence. It had only been a few hours since the estate had been thrown into chaos by the news that Grand Duke Uliel had hired a resident secretary. A new secretary for the Grand Duke, who was famous for never keeping just anyone by his side! And a woman at that! A young lady who had not even made her…

Chapter 10 “What is the matter, Grand Duke?” Morin leaned closer to look at the section Asad had pointed to. There was nothing written there. Only after seeing the old woman’s puzzled expression did Asad suddenly come to his senses. He quickly composed his expression, pretending nothing had happened. “It’s nothing.” He naturally tucked the document into his clothes. “I’ll take care of this matter quickly. The seizure of the Lisicha residence will be lifted…

Chapter 9 “Yes, that is…” “Speak.” The guest continued to hesitate as though something was troubling them. Junpei, realizing what was on the guest’s mind, slowly shook his head. “Surely you don't mean that foolish Mia Lisicha wrote the threatening letter herself? The same woman who likes to steal the forks Grand Duke Uliel has used?” “She must have done it to clear herself of the accusation of being the blackmailer. Otherwise, there’s no way to explain the identical…

Chapter 8 The guards’ loud, spirited greeting echoed through the room. Asad returned to his usual chair and sat down. Unfortunately, he was dressed entirely in black, making him look even more like the Grim Reaper. Shuri stood firmly beside him. “Well, do you feel like telling me now how you knew about the heavy rain in advance?” Mia moved her lips hesitantly before speaking as though she had made up her mind. “I’ll tell you if you have everyone else leave.” One of Asad’s…

Chapter 7 I want to die. I want to die. I want to die. No. I want to live. I want to live. I want to live. Mia’s mind was waging a fierce war between those two thoughts as she walked barefoot down the stairs leading underground, her hands bound with rope and her body surrounded by heavily built guards. “You’re disgusting, jumping out of a tower while naked. Are you a pervert?” What a bastard. As if I wanted to do that. Just thinking about standing there in nothing but her underwear…
