Chapter 7 Liliot, the senior maid of the mansion and the woman closest to the Duchess, was old enough to be like an aunt to Adelia. She had also been a kind and reliable person who had helped Adelia with all sorts of things ever since she first came to the mansion. Even so, Adelia still hadn’t gotten used to having someone else wash her body for her. Because of that, every time she took a bath, she always had to listen to at least one round of nagging from Liliot. “How was the research…-

Chapter 6 When she looked at the clock, it was already 4:00 p.m. Professor Siern had been very careful when he said that they would sometimes have to leave late. But Adelia wanted to stay in the laboratory for even one second longer. “Yes, I understand!” “Good. That’s all for today. You may go home.” Go home…? Adelia’s heart ached again, and her shoulders trembled. Am I going to become a proper working adult like this? When she was at the Academy, everyone had high…

Chapter 5 “More importantly, an intestinal disease? What kind of disease is it? Does it damage the intestinal lining, or does it affect the stomach?” “…It’s closer to damaging the intestinal lining.” “Really? Then what happens? Does it cause vomiting? Or diarrhea? Chills?” “…Are you interested in medicine too?” Adelia let out a small “Ah!” and smiled shyly. “A little. But please don’t misunderstand. I’m only curious about how fungi, viruses, and other…

Chapter 4 It was true that Adelia had been Roerston’s junior at the Academy and had graduated at the top of her class. Even when Roerston had still been a student there, he had heard rumors that there was a genius in one of the lower grades. So it wasn’t accurate to say they were complete strangers. But there was one far more important fact. Their marriage… …was a complete scam. Years ago, the Whitton family had completely fallen apart when Adelia was ten years old. Her mother…

Chapter 3 Siern quietly watched Adelia, pleased by the way she reacted with wonder and excitement. “By the way…” Adelia looked up at him with hopeful eyes. “Who exactly are you?” “Huh…?” She froze for a moment before quickly standing up straight with her hands folded in front of her. “My name is Adelia Whitton. Starting today, I’m a new research student who will study and work in this laboratory.” “Adelia Whitton? I’ve heard that name before… Adelia…

Chapter 2 People nearby noticed the sunset-colored hair showing beneath his hat and immediately recognized Roerston. “Look! That’s Duke Ipsel!” “Oh my, he even brought his wife all the way to her laboratory. He’s so kind.” Hearing them, Adelia’s cheeks turned even redder. He truly was the most handsome man in the Kingdom of Regan. Even if someone placed him in the busiest street in the capital, Del Bottom No. 3, no one could possibly fail to recognize him. He was tall with…

Chapter 1 Prologue Adelia stared at the man standing in front of her, Roerston, with her mouth hanging open. “What… what did you just say?” “I said that if you want to repay the debt you owe me, Junior, there is a way.” “No! I mean what you said after that.” “Oh, that method?” Roerston smiled. In that instant, the atmosphere around him seemed to change. He truly had the kind of face people would call the most handsome man in the world. His hair glowed like the…

Chapter 47 “And then?” At Casana’s question, I recalled that time. Before long, I found myself bouncing my shoulders excitedly. “I hopped around and danced.” “Danced?” “Yes. When the adults danced to the music in the middle of the square, we danced along at the outskirts. The atmosphere was really nice.” “……” Casana’s expression grew even worse. “What’s wrong?” She cleared her throat. “So you carried food for the party and danced along at the…-

Chapter 46 The reason Ruklrus betrayed me 2,300 years ago. Even though I haven’t been able to forgive him completely, I now know why he did it. To protect his people and their property. He had a great and seemingly convincing justification of his own, but from my perspective, having been used as a tool, it must have been infuriating. He may have accomplished his goal, but I had been betrayed. And afterward, I fell in love with Akarn. When Latano returned and Akarn withdrew, I, who had…

Chapter 26 My Husband Lives in a Painting Apparently, Claude was interested in something else. “Who is that child? His name is Johen, I believe.” Since I wanted to change the subject anyway, I took a sip of black tea before answering immediately. “Johen is a child who lives at the Agnus Orphanage.” “The Agnus Orphanage?” I briefly wondered how much I should tell him, then decided to give him only a suitable amount of information. “Johen’s older sister, a girl named Anne-Marie, has…-
