Chapter 11 She was the perfect example of a student who stood out only within the school. The kind of person who would lose her way the moment she graduated and was thrown into the real world. What on earth was Father doing all this time without even giving her advice about things like this? Roerston eventually complained, even bringing up his late father, then put down his pen with a click and crossed his arms. "At this rate, when are you ever going to repay everything?

Chapter 9 Roerston’s father, the previous Duke of Ipsel, had been anonymously supporting Adelia all this time. Even so, it was generally customary for a sponsor to stop providing support once the person they supported became an adult. However, Roerston had decided to continue supporting Adelia, following his father’s wishes. “You can continue studying with my support, just as you have until now, Junior.” At those words, Adelia’s face became somewhat pale. Roerston tilted his head…

Chapter 8 The moment those words left his mouth, Adelia’s eyes widened so much that they looked ready to pop out. “Th-That person is him?” “Yes. You didn’t know?” How was I supposed to know?!

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…
