Chapter 27 “That’s strange. As far as I know, you don’t have any outside appointments today.” “W-why are you suddenly saying that?” “Well, you’ve been checking the time over and over for a while now.” As expected of Laura. She was incredibly perceptive. “Surely you aren’t going on a date…” “I am.” “Ah, yes. I thought so… Wait, what?!” Ah. Maybe I shouldn't have told her. It was bound to come out when I left the house anyway, so I figured it would…-

Chapter 27 She had not expected anything. She had thought it was not even worth expecting anything. Although she knew the performance would never be perfect, she had at least been willing to applaud when it was over. But Aurelia played her score perfectly, without making a single mistake. So perfectly that Leonard, who had been listening to Aurelia's performance with an indifferent expression, found his body leaning forward without realizing it. ‘This doesn't make any…-

Chapter 26 Aurelia was sitting in front of a grand piano that looked as though it had been made using only the most expensive materials. As she ran her fingers over the keys alone and recalled what had happened in the waiting room, Aurelia took a deep breath. The silence of the Symphony Hall had been so complete that, after being left alone, it felt as though it would choke her. She had to endure it to suppress the unbearable irritation that silence had caused. ‘I know he did it…

Chapter 25 “If your reputation would be ruined just by performing one song, wouldn’t it be ruined even without something like this happening?” “Young Master Deimus, you are saying that because you are young and free from prejudice. Of course, I also think it is something worthy of respect, but from the perspective of the older musicians…” “So, do those senile musicians bring more money to the Symphony Hall than I do?” Of course not. No matter what country or city…

Chapter 26 Creak. The rusty door opened, and two people entered the prison. Gerold’s face brightened when he recognized the man leading the way. “You! What took you so long?!” The man was a lawyer employed by House Valentine. “Do you have any idea how long I’ve been stuck in this horrible place because of you? Get me out of here immediately.” “I’m sorry, Young Master Gerold. That’s a little…” “What? Do you have any idea how much my father pays you every year?!…

Chapter 27 Eroika made the offer the old man most desperately wanted. Mille, who had been staring into empty space, flinched and looked into Eroika's eyes. Mille was the kind of person who habitually found it difficult to look others in the eye. He had a harmful gaze that made people feel as though they would catch a terrible disease just by looking at him. Mille knew every single secret Bosarva had. If he met Kaileph, none of the Emperor's secrets would be safe. Therefore, Mille's most…-

Chapter 25 “Haah…” I let out a long sigh and pressed a hand against my forehead. My head was so cluttered that I could barely focus on the documents in front of me. Because of that, I had been stuck working on paperwork that I normally could have finished in no time, dragging it out throughout the entire evening. No, more than these documents… “Actually, I have a way.” What on earth was that way? Option one: Threaten him and demand it back. “That would only backfire.…

Chapter 26 Kaileph’s expression did not move. It was as calm as the surface of a quiet lake. Bosarva was the one who should feel the coldness hidden deep beneath that lake. “This… you bastard… Wasn’t this position something you handed over to me because you found it bothersome? After everything I did to help your mother, how could you do this to me?” As expected, he brought it up. The story about his mother that he always used whenever he was at a…

Chapter 24 “What kind of ridiculous nonsense is that?! Stop talking crap!” Gerold shouted, the veins in his neck bulging. He desperately appealed to the people around him. “Don’t let them fool you! How could I possibly have stolen the ring from House Zacherete? She handed it directly to me herself! That’s why it’s in my possession now!” “Well, he does have a point. Saying that the young master stole it seems a little far-fetched.” “But why would the…

Chapter 25 “Are the children safe?” “This woman’s knight rescued the children, so they should be returning to the village soon. I will send Christina and Hailey back shortly as well. From now on, I will provide financial support for the children’s health and well-being.” The old man remained silent for a while before turning his body toward Kaileph. He wanted to get up and kneel, but his painful back left him helplessly lying down. Even so, he felt deeply honored. “Thank…
