Chapter 10 “…” At those words, Owen fell silent for a moment. He could more or less imagine what had happened. While he was busy with the endless work and the Emperor’s orders to go to war, the butler must have insisted that, as a count, he needed to maintain the dignity of the castle and improve its appearance. The story about the blue roses probably came up around then as well. A situation like this did not happen simply because the head of the household was…-

Chapter 9 Pesha put the quill back into the ink bottle, then turned her whole body toward Philia and pressed her for an answer. Philia replied in a hushed voice, as though the butler might still be somewhere nearby. “The butler… He didn’t officially apply and get hired for the position. He’s a commoner.” “…” When a family was large or belonged to the higher ranks of nobility, they usually hired a lower-ranking noble, such as a second son who could not inherit his…

Chapter 8 Pesha was walking briskly when she spotted a maid quietly mopping the seemingly endless hallway with a bucket and a mop. She spoke to her. “Good work. I have something to order the butler to do, so could you call him to my room?” “Yes, Your Ladyship.” While the maid went to fetch the butler, Pesha returned to her room and, instead of dwelling on how overwhelming everything was, began writing down the tasks she needed to handle in order of priority. Just then,…

Chapter 7 Early the next morning, Pesha woke up and, with the help of the maids, washed her face and changed her clothes before heading to the dining room for breakfast. The building had already been old when she was first given her title. Even if it had been renovated, that fact did not change. Cracked windows here and there along the way, faded still-life paintings in plain frames, and wooden stairs that had slightly sunk and creaked every time she stepped on them made her feel dizzy,…

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 5 At those words, Pesha's face turned pale for a moment. Of course. He's supposed to marry Io, but he shared a ring with me instead. It did not comfort her at all. She weakly listened to the maids' words of comfort when Owen, who had been talking with the knights, approached her. “The sun will set soon, so we cannot rest here for long. Please get into the carriage.” “Ah, yes.” Pesha forced a smile and climbed into the carriage, sighing deeply inside. Just as…

Chapter 4 “What?” For a moment, Pesha wondered if she had heard correctly. Everyone knew this was a political marriage, so did they really have to kiss when they were practically strangers? Panicking, Pesha looked around, but suddenly Owen’s large hand grabbed her face. He forced her to look directly at him, but his expression remained as stiff as ever. “L-Lord…” Ignoring Pesha’s obvious embarrassment, Owen lowered his head. Surely he’s not actually going to…

Chapter 3 “So getting married has made you bold, huh? How dare you look down on the House of Rydell?” “The House of Rydell abandoned me first, so I’m saying I have no interest in this family either. You don’t have to worry anymore about me taking your place, so isn’t that a relief for you?” Pesha spoke casually as she walked past Jeremy. She had already been forbidden from leaving the house, and she didn’t want to get into another pointless argument with Jeremy, only for…

Chapter 2 When Pesha was around nine years old, she fell from a tree and hit her head. That was when she realized that she had been reincarnated into a romance-fantasy novel. In the original story, “Pesha Rydell” was a wicked villainess who bullied the female protagonist, Io Clark. According to the novel, “Pesha” was Io’s childhood friend of the same age. She had always subtly looked down on Io, but when Io’s circumstances began to improve, Pesha could no longer control her…

Chapter 1 “What exactly are you talking about?” The man’s low voice scraped against the floor, as though reflecting his foul mood. He had always been a blunt and taciturn man, but Pesha had never seen him look this angry before. Because of that, Pesha secretly watched his expression. With sharp eyes set beneath deeply sunken brows, a high-bridged nose, and strongly masculine features, the man had the handsome appearance of a perfectly carved statue. Yet his expression was…
