During the wedding preparations, I thought: When I considered everything carefully, it wasn't a bad choice at all. In this world where I was reborn as a Baron of a fallen family, this was the best choice I could make. It wouldn't be bad to just work alone at Clairfield and live by myself until I'm buried here without becoming anyone's partner, but if that's not possible in this world...... If I had to become the partner of some older nobleman like my mother in my previous life, or had to have…-

"What......" Just as I was about to speak, he approached and knelt on one knee before me. Gasps erupted from somewhere across the room. The servants lined up along the wall all looked at us with tense expressions. "What are you doing?" I whispered, but he didn't answer. He just looked up at me in that all-too-familiar pose—one I'd seen countless times in dramas and movies, but which felt unreal now that it was happening right in front of me. "Clarence Amalia Philoraine. Will you…

When everyone hesitated and looked at Margie Baxter, she finally seemed to gather her courage and spoke. "We...... heard about it, Baron. That you're sacrificing yourself for us. You don't need to do that. You shouldn't do that." "That's right, Baron! You mustn't!" The women's association members chimed in eagerly. "Hmm?" "About Rian, I mean, the Count." "Ah." "We heard about the marriage. And the other rumors too." "Other rumors?" "About why you're being forced into marriage,…

Dain's face turned slightly red. "She...... thought she was pregnant." "Ah, I see. Then of course they would have to rush the wedding. But it was a misunderstanding...... you say?" "Yes, it turned out my brother...... couldn't have children." "Really?" "When we were young, playing ball, I accidentally kicked him right in the......" "Oh, I see......" Florian frowned deeply, sympathizing with the pain of a young man he didn't even know. "Oh, there's absolutely no problem with using…

After hesitating, Florian sighed and began to speak. "It was at a tavern. I was...... tired of being a Count with nothing to my name and foolishly impulsive, while your father was...... desperate. But I swear I didn't extort anything. It was......" "Yes, I'm sure. You simply took advantage of an old drunk nobleman who couldn't think straight and had lost his senses, eagerly accepting whatever he offered." "I don't want to make excuses, but in the world of men, such foolish things happen…

The Count completely fell for the woman's shallow trick, jumping straight into the lake fully clothed, then bringing her out and holding her desperately as if she were a precious treasure. So of course Delia had to quickly bring up the contract to break the mood. Before things went too far. But instead of thanking her for bringing up the difficult topic, the Count flew into a rage. 'That contract is mine. It's my decision when to announce its contents and when to enforce it! Don't interfere in…

Clarence, who had been muttering incomprehensible words, raised her head. "Baron. Clarence!" Florian reached out his hand, unaware that he had unconsciously called her by name. His only thought was that she looked like she might fall and needed to be steadied. But Clarence pushed his hand away and took a step back. She looked at Florian as if he were some filthy poisonous plant and murmured. "It was you! That man in the diary! The man who took everything away and caused Clarence's death…

Sighing, Florian firmly wrapped his arms around Baron Philoraine's body to support her comfortably, then began swimming toward the shore. If she wanted to slap him instead of thanking him, well, she could do as she pleased. But although Clarence initially resisted with a jerk, her body soon went limp, and she leaned against him willingly, which reassured him somewhat. Thanks to this, they safely reached the shore and climbed out of the water. While Clarence was coughing and spitting up water,…

Screech. Suddenly there was the sound of a chair being dragged, and Rian stood up abruptly. The loud noise drew everyone's attention in the dining room. Rian elegantly extended one arm to the lady, who nodded slightly and lightly took it with her gloved hand. At that moment, my eyes met Rian's as he looked in my direction. He bowed his head elegantly to me, then escorted the woman out of the dining room. "......happened? So I was there and...... Huh? Are you listening, Baron?" Sir…

The moment she saw him, the bright smile illuminating her face disappeared instantly. Sadness? He thought he might have seen sadness on her face, but surely that couldn't be. "Count." She quickly changed her expression and nodded gently. "Baron." Florian also stood up and bowed his head. 'Should I invite her to dine together? It might be better to build some personal rapport before bringing up uncomfortable matters. To clear any lingering resentment if there is any.' 'What if that…
