Chapter 38 “You’re not even going to ask why I went to the border?” “I’m not curious.” “Hey! It was because of you! I stopped you and that delinquent bastard from getting kicked out. Nikolai was about to ask Father for permission to throw you out while he’s at war. I stopped him!” So Nikolai must have tried to send urgent word to the Duke at the battlefield—and Helbern blocked it. “I see.” “What’s with that reaction? Aren’t you going to thank me?” “Did…

Chapter 37 About twenty minutes earlier. Helbern is on the move! He’s muttering that he’s hungry. Looks like he’s heading to the banquet hall! But the butler said he barely ever eats there! I heard he usually eats with the knights at the training grounds. So what’s with this sudden meal?! This is bad. There’s no food prepared for that lunatic. And it’s obvious he’ll say something outrageous the moment he sees Docep. If I run away now, I can avoid him—but…

Chapter 36 Meanwhile, Francesca was feeling uneasy after hearing that the family physician she had sent to Halara had suddenly disappeared. At Karl’s urging, she headed toward the banquet hall on the first floor. She prepared a meal for me. It was unusual. She had heard it was meant as a thank-you gift for the dresses. I never asked her to do that. All she had wanted was for the girl to stay quiet and behave. Besides, Francesca didn’t have much of an appetite and rarely enjoyed…

Chapter 35 The moment I opened my eyes in the morning, some shocking news reached me. “Getti ran away?” Apparently, Getti fled yesterday without looking back. No one knew the exact reason. “Could it be because of what happened yesterday?” The one who told me this was May. “I don’t think so.” If she’d run away just because she’d been rude to me in front of the servants, she would’ve done it long ago. Instead, she had stayed behind and even waited for me in my…

Chapter 34 When I looked at the titles, the box was filled with boring books like The History of Bloodymary, Noble Etiquette, and World Maps and the History of War. She must have gone through a lot of trouble to bring them all the way here, but I saw no reason to read them. ‘I already know far more impressive things than what’s in those books.’ But if I outright refused, it would just turn into another argument. “I can’t read.” That was a lie. I actually could read…

Chapter 33 “No!” No one knew exactly what had been said, but Geti’s face went deathly pale in an instant. “Fine. I’ll let this matter end with me.” With that, she tried to leave, stubbornly clinging to her pride until the very end. Bang—! “Aaah!!” Before she could get out, Junel played a prank and knocked her flat. And not a single person went out to help Geti when she screamed. This time, I gave Junel a thumbs-up. Yeah, yeah. We’d have to see her…

Chapter 32 “Then what on earth happened?” Even if he was the protagonist, Docep had been stuck at one star for a long time. He was physically weak. No matter how diligently he practiced swordsmanship, his ability had still been trapped within the limits of a one-star knight. Come to think of it, there was something else strange. “Docep wasn’t scared at all before going in. He talked like he knew he’d come back alive.” It was strange. Really strange lately. “So you did…

hapter 31 “Twenty outfits? Then how much would that even cost…?” Hiding behind the staircase and eavesdropping on the conversation, Geti’s mind raced. Custom-made clothes by a personal tailor weren’t enough—twenty of them? Even if she combined an entire year’s wages, she couldn’t afford even one dress. So how could that woman possibly— “Who does she think she is?!” The lady was clearly favoring her! Geti ground her teeth, her face flushed red. Leaving things…

Chapter 30 “Hahaha. I just came in recently, so there’s a lot to learn, and I keep getting lost.” When I awkwardly made that excuse, Hatsen immediately relaxed his expression. “That makes sense. Bloodymary is so large that just walking around the castle once can take half a day.” “You believe me?” “People with real skill don’t lie.” Even though it would’ve been natural to suspect a maid wandering around freely, he showed no such sign. It was clear he truly liked my…

Chapter 29 I returned to the annex with a bright smile. On the way, I stopped by the main house kitchen and asked them to prepare food that was easy to digest and nutritious. They didn’t seem to know who I was, but since it was for Docep’s meal, I figured they’d take care of it properly on their own. It was already quite late, so I decided to prepare my own breakfast tomorrow. “Where the hell have you been wandering around?” As soon as I returned to the annex, Geti, who had been…
