Chapter 41 Stay the Night Yuri’s heart softened at Hushin’s plea, and in the end, she had no choice but to grant his request. He had never once shown her a vulnerable side of himself, but today he looked so exhausted that she found it difficult to turn away. She could even feel a faint tremor through her body from the fingertips of the hand wrapped around her waist. His face was a mixture of irritation and exhaustion, nothing like the expression one would expect from a man who had just…-

Chapter 40 Just Stay With Me. I Won’t Do Anything After hearing her answer, Hushin took a card from the inner pocket of his jacket and held it out to Yuri. “Please.” “Vice President, it’s quite late. I’ll get it for you right away, so could you wait just a moment?” “I have somewhere I need to stop by first, so I’d appreciate it if Secretary Jin could bring it to me.” “But it’s already very late. At this hour…” “Then let’s call it a work order…

Chapter 17 “Have you heard the rumor? Apparently, there’s been a constant stream of guests at the Bernstein Grand Ducal residence lately.” “Guests?” Creak. The quill that had been moving diligently across the page stopped with a strange sound. A drop of ink splattered from the nib, leaving a black dot on the paper, but I ignored it and looked up. Laura’s face was unusually serious. “They say it’s all a procession of marriage proposals.” “Marriage proposals? At this…-

Chapter 24 Becoming the Grand Duchess did not mean that her official duties would begin immediately. After all, the Grand Ducal Castle needed a few days to recover from the major event that was the national wedding ceremony. Those few days, until the castle returned to its normal routine, were practically an official period of rest granted to the Grand Duchess. “Your Highness, d-do you like it?” Lumiela let out a small laugh at Hanna’s nervous voice. Hanna had been a maid in…-

Chapter 23 Lumiela had just woken up and blinked sleepily. “What on earth is going on…?” She had wondered why she felt so stifled, only to realize that blankets and quilts had been piled high on top of her. ‘Even if he was worried I might be cold…’ She felt like a baby bird tucked away deep inside a nest. Her heart felt strangely ticklish. She let out a small laugh and removed the layers one by one. ‘It’s sweet of him, but I’m still a little…

Chapter 16 “Since you really became a priest, we were able to give up without putting up too much of a fight. But who would have thought it would end up like this?” “Exactly. And to think her opponent is none other than Marquess Zacherete…!” At the subtly pointed remark, the eyes of the noblewomen and young ladies gathered there burned with interest. “She may be good at business, but she’s hopeless when it comes to social activities, isn’t she? The only thing she knows how to do…

Chapter 15 Wow, seriously…… Grand Duke and Marquess Apparently Went to Obtain His Majesty the Emperor’s Approval for Their Marriage…… ‘Seeing Them in Person, Something Seems Serious!’ A Chain of Eyewitness Accounts from Palace Attendants! The newspapers of Orden were working hard again today. Hard enough that I almost wished they would be a little lazier. “At this point, it’s practically a done deal.” “……” “I told you to just give up…

Chapter 14 “Your Majesty.” A calm yet unmistakably sharp voice rang throughout the reception room. Gulp. I swallowed nervously and looked at him. ‘W-What is this? I’ve never seen him look this angry before.’ No, had I ever even imagined that this man could get angry? He always had such a pleasant, smiling expression that I had never thought of him as someone who could actually lose his temper. “My, someone’s awfully angry.” The Emperor seemed to have the same…

Chapter 13 I must have some kind of curse hanging over me. There was no other explanation for why things like this had kept happening to me over the past few days. In all my life, I never imagined the day would come when I would receive a tea-time invitation from the Emperor himself, the Sun of the Empire…… “W-What should we do?! His Majesty is definitely planning to punish you. Y-You know how much His Majesty cherishes His Highness the Grand Duke!” Laura’s panicked voice echoed in…

Chapter 51 After saying that much, I took about three deep breaths. Then I lightly slapped my cheeks three times. “…What I’m saying is that I can’t seem to escape those thoughts. I’m not trying to deny your existence or your feelings, but I know it has to sound that way, and I’m really sorry about that. But I’ve gotten a little better over the past four years, okay? Though I don’t know if you’d agree after seeing me like this.” Only then did I finally work up the…-
