"I need to go back to the Luria Trading Company today." Elena got up early on her day off and tied her hair. Though she hadn't slept much after whispering sweet conversations with Rudfelix over candies all night, it was a pleasant morning. 'I should go and come back quickly.' She was planning to seriously deepen her relationship with Rudfelix today. 'How far?' While wondering how far he would allow, Elena was actually excluding Rudfelix's touch on her body. Ginny, who was making the bed…-

Several weeks had passed since Louise visited the underground prison. Day after day, Louise spent anxious time waiting for news about her brothers until finally, she heard the news she had been waiting for. She first heard it while Margaret was helping her with her appearance before going to the dining room. As always, she heard the news again during lunch with Rondimio, who had fallen asleep holding her in his arms. "Last night, your brothers who were in the underground prison…-

Rondimio truly came late to the empress's palace every day. He would briefly visit the empress's palace around lunchtime to apologize for not being able to have dinner together, eat with Louise, and then head back to the emperor's office. She had long wished to see him diligently attending to Araceli's state affairs. But it felt not just curious but strange that someone who had only known Louise was now living such a regimented life. "Margaret. About the drought that's hit the west recently. Is…

The ballroom was decorated in gold and purple, creating an elegant yet sophisticated atmosphere. Although the debutante ball was an annual event, using different colors was Grand Duke Rudfelix's idea. It had become a special tradition, designed so that whenever people recalled these special days, they would remember the colors. "I extend my gratitude to all who grace us with your presence. This year, we have something even more special. For the first time in a very long time, we have a young lady…

While her blurry eyes gradually regained focus, Elena wondered about the warmth touching her back. She couldn't quite remember when she had fallen asleep, but then she saw the hand holding the reins. Long fingers with prominent knuckles gripped the reins, causing blue veins to stand out on the back of the hand. The large man's hand forming a straight line reminded her of Rudfelix reaching out his hand while on horseback, and she finally realized where she was. 'I fell asleep while riding the horse…

The carriage was forcibly moving forward on an unpaved, bumpy mountain road. The horses pulling the carriage were struggling, exhaling rough breaths, and sometimes despite pushing hard against the ground, they remained in place. 'So this is what it's like.' Unlike a carriage running on flat ground, the vibrations coming through the walls were turning all her internal organs upside down. Since it was difficult to maintain balance standing up on the seat, Elena firmly gripped the window frame,…

"He really stepped in shit." From the beginning, he shouldn't have accepted that man. No, he should have let go when that man's schemes fell apart. He shouldn't have tried to use someone who had become completely rotten. "Baron Vulti denies it, but his double ledger has spread everywhere, and there's no way to contain it." Viscount Tozille explained the situation he had learned in a gloomy voice. He had stiffened his face considerably, as if it were his fault for not telling him to abandon…

It was just as Baron Vulti was entering the trading company. "Baron." A man with a friendly smile approached him. Baron Vulti looked at the man with displeasure. He wasn't happy to see someone who worked at the night market appearing in broad daylight. "I came to see you, Baron." "You came all the way here? I told you not to wander around during the day, yet you're out again. Should I cut off those legs to keep you in place?" As the man was someone who never listened well to his words,…

Elena pretended not to notice Rudfelix's gaze and focused only on the table. The table was filled with appetizing dishes, featuring a main course of salami decorated with roses. If it had been a course meal, she could have simply focused on each dish as it arrived, but Rudfelix had ordered everything to be brought out at once, so the maids had lined up to place all the dishes on the table. Elena lowered her overwhelmed eyes from the dazzling array of elaborate dishes. She wondered why he had ordered…

The year that seemed would never end had passed swiftly, and a new year had begun. The barren, white winter landscape had melted away, and the constellations had shifted slightly. This meant winter would soon end completely. "I can already feel spring approaching." "Yes, my lady. Winter is nearly over now." Even the longest season in Elia's life had an end. Her particularly painful nineteenth year would also end tomorrow. "So much has happened. Truly......" Elia murmured as she set…-
