Chapter 23 “It should be the same as what's on my plate. It's the same menu as the Grand Duke of Wolverlake's, isn't it?” I muttered to myself as I picked up an almond from the nuts on my plate and held it out to Hamjjik. Hamjjik took the almond with both hands and stuffed it into his mouth. Crunch, crunch. He gnawed away at it enthusiastically, filling his cheek pouches to the brim. Watching him eat, I thought he was adorable. I kept picking out walnuts, peanuts, fruit, and other…-

Chapter 22 The entrance to the tent opened slightly, and the light from the torch outside slanted in through the gap. Judging by the presence he sensed, Aiden thought it was Hamjjik. A moment later, the sea breeze slipped through the slightly open tent flap. It wasn't the cold season, but the night wind was still chilly. Hamjjik wandered around inside the tent for a while, rustling about before going back outside. Leaving the tent entrance slightly open. ‘Why didn't that little spirit…

Chapter 21 “If I’d known that, I would have eaten with you.” “What?” “Actually, I secretly went and ate some myself.” “……” I rolled my eyes around for a moment before cautiously asking, “How many?” “……” This time, Aiden’s gaze turned toward the sky. He seemed to count something in his head for a moment before nodding. “One hundred.” “…Pardon? How many?” “One… hundred.” Was that even possible? I slightly furrowed my…

Chapter 20 After whispering together for quite a while with their heads pressed together, Hamjjik once again raised the corners of his mouth into an evil grin. The fat black cat nodded, thinking that Hamjjik's two protruding front teeth were rather cute. Aiden's heart nearly fell out of his chest when everyone started congratulating them. He hurriedly checked Theodora's reaction. She was looking at him with a slightly sulky expression. Thinking that she might have realized…

Chapter 19 ‘Aah! What do I do?!’ It seemed like everyone had seen what was above my head. I screamed inwardly without even realizing it. My eyes instinctively searched for a mouse hole to crawl into. I wanted to cry. I wanted to just run away. I had sworn that I wouldn't give this womanizer any opening, but instead of doing that, I'd practically confessed to him outright! ‘Good grief! What an absolutely mortifying piece of history!’ Ignoring the cheering people, I hurriedly…

Chapter 18 He was holding a beer glass that was almost empty. It was the calm 모습 I was used to seeing from him. Then the color of the surrounding lights changed slightly. People began moving closer together and dancing slowly. The name for this dance might have been different here, but to me, it looked like the blues. As everyone's movements slowed, Aiden became easier to see. He was looking somewhere else when he suddenly raised a hand and made a gesture refusing someone. Then he…

Chapter 17 “Lady Hedesson has been watching me all this time… I can't believe it.” “……!” After thinking over our conversation, I realized that Aiden had gotten the completely wrong idea. “I'm sorry. That's not what I meant.” I quickly waved both hands to deny it. I was incredibly flustered. “Pardon?” I mean, how could he misunderstand me like that after all these years of seeing each other? “I wasn't only watching you at the academy…

Chapter 16 I wasn't entirely sure, but it didn't seem like the right time to confess. Should I push her away, then? After thinking it over and deciding what to do, Aiden carefully softened his words. He told her that he had been thinking about the young lady he would marry. It was true. He intended to marry Theodora, after all. Theodora's eyes widened as though she were genuinely surprised. She looked so adorable that Aiden nearly broke into a wide smile. No. I can't. Not…

Chapter 15 “Nothing in particular. It was very easy.” “……” “There are hardly any things that are difficult for me.” It sounded as though he had simply made the flower crown while he was at it and given it to me. In other words, the flower crown had only been something he made as part of the activity. It had no special meaning. What the heck? So I was the only one getting excited for no reason. My fluttering heart sank. I had gotten my hopes up for nothing, and somehow,…

Chapter 14 “People from the Wolverlake family have the ability to communicate with certain animals.” “The ability to… communicate with animals?” I had heard that some families possessed mysterious powers unique to their bloodline. But the Duke of Hedesson’s family had no such ability or magic, so his answer was truly surprising. “Yes. The chances of success aren’t very high, but somehow, I managed to communicate with one today.” His answer was so calm and…
