Prologue “I heard a strange noise, so I came to check… Is everything all right?” The elderly butler looked around Mia’s bedroom with a puzzled expression. It was a dark night. Candlelight flickered against the walls, and a feather quilt lay crumpled on the bed. Other than the fact that Mia Lisicha, the Grand Duke’s secretary, had unusually flushed cheeks, there was nothing particularly strange. Mia frantically waved both hands. “What do you mean, something happened? Nothing…-

Chapter 11 I was practically dragged along by Varkan, clinging to his thick forearm. A fierce blizzard lashed my face so violently that I couldn't even open my eyes. It wasn't until we entered a cave that I was finally able to see again. “We should take shelter here until the blizzard dies down.” Varkan spoke indifferently as he brushed the snow piled on top of his head from his hair. “There are shelters like this scattered throughout the Fedrika Mountains in preparation for the God's…-

Chapter 6 As if he could read Pesha's bewildered feelings, the butler apologized and spoke. “I’m sorry. Since the territory is rather small, it has been difficult to find enough workers for the construction…” At that moment, Owen’s eyebrow twitched. Although I hadn’t known Owen for very long, I thought I could tell which part of the butler’s words had caught his attention. ‘How dare he blame the small size of the territory in front of the head of the family? It’s…-

Chapter 9 ‘This is bad!’ Tears once again gathered in Hyerang’s eyes. Just then, the Jae-in’s gaze turned toward the table. It was the watchful gaze of someone checking whether she had eaten her food properly. “Hic! I-I didn’t do it on purpose…” Hyerang spoke in a trembling voice, frightened, when the Jae-in suddenly raised her hand. Startled, Hyerang shrank back and squeezed her eyes shut. But then— Pat. She felt a soft hand gently stroke the top of her…-

Chapter 2 Carnike followed Duke Reinach and sat down at the table. Only then did she notice the gifts the Emperor’s attendant had left behind, still sitting there untouched. Embarrassed, Carnike cleared her throat. “I’ll have the table cleared.” “No, there’s no need. I have a meeting with the officials soon, so I can’t stay long anyway. Besides, I came because there’s something important I need to tell you.” Something important? Carnike tilted her head and looked at the…-

Chapter 2 At the word police, the expressions on both of their faces darkened instantly. They whispered in low voices. “W-What? Why are the police here?” “Damn it. Looks like someone reported us again.” As if this wasn't the first time something like this had happened, the man pushed the woman behind him. “Move aside.” He then cautiously opened the door and asked with a friendly expression, “What seems to be the problem?” The police officer answered his…-

Chapter 21 Oh, my goodness. Cecilia's heart began pounding for an entirely different reason. Now that Esmerilda was certain of her identity, she quickly closed the distance between them and pressed her for an answer. “Countess Cecilia Winterhall? The wife of Davion Sisledown Winterhall?” A moment later, Esmerilda crossed over the lift and bent down to examine Cecilia's face. Cecilia was so flustered that she began to stammer. “Ah, no, I'm not.” “Oh, come on. You are. I could…-

Chapter 16 This time, Cecilia could not hide her surprise. She choked and started coughing, her face turning slightly pale. “You-you were a soldier?” “Yes. I graduated from the Royal Oaktree Military Academy. I retired from the military for personal reasons.” Until now, whenever her coworkers asked about Arkan's occupation, Cecilia had lied and told them that her husband was a retired soldier. But it turned out that he really was a retired soldier! Goodness, and not just any…

Chapter 32 My Husband Lives Inside the Painting As the conversation dragged on, I looked around, searching for a moment to catch my breath. “At the banquet, did you deliberately pretend not to know Young Master Noah Pistachio?” “Pardon?” Instead of answering, I pointed with my chin toward the newspaper lying beside him. The front page was plastered with a huge headline about Gael embezzling funds from his suppliers. Rather than focusing on his disappearance, the article centered on…-

Chapter 23 Even Though I Only Watered Them “All right, Rainid. Research time! Rudolph, this time, ask the soil where we should plant the medicinal herbs. The soil should be awake by now!” Rainid had been woken up before sunrise, put through swordsmanship training, and was now completely exhausted. And yet Mother was full of energy.
