"What?" Arsen doubted his ears. Was she asking if he couldn't perform as a man? Arsen had never heard such a thing in his life. Ah, perhaps it's a joke? Lydia often played mischievous pranks. But there was no playfulness in the serious and anxious eyes looking up at him. "I'm okay with it even if you have that kind of problem." Wait, this isn't just suspicion but almost certainty. And what does she mean by "okay with it"? "I won't abandon you or anything because of that. So feel free to…-

"Have you heard the news that Marquis Evansi saw his grandson?" "Yes, Your Majesty. The Evansi family has double the cause for celebration. I've sent an appropriate gift, so you needn't concern yourself too much." The emperor and empress, who had been at odds over Rozena, regained a surface-level peace. They weren't like before, but they occasionally dined together and made small talk. Now the imperial couple no longer seemed to fight. However, those who served the imperial couple up close knew…

Flora, who had gone to bed, belatedly received the duke's summons and entered the master's room. He, whom she had expected to be busy discussing the ambush, was already prepared for bed in a somewhat light gown. "I hope I didn't wake you up." "......I wasn't sleeping." After Flora calmly responded and naturally tried to find her usual place, Claude raised his hand to stop her. "Come here and sleep. You got involved because of me." At his voice, which seemed quite affectionate, Flora…-

The weather turned fickle as they entered the height of summer proper. The morning's cloudless sky poured down sudden showers, then around noon the weather cleared up as if it had been a lie and intense sunlight beat down. From that day on, though Flora was a maid, she spent most of her time with the duke. It was a miscalculation to think being alone together in one space wouldn't be particularly uncomfortable. "Do you still need my protection now?" Flora glanced out the window where bright…

The sound of quiet knocking reached her ears. Flora's eyelids flew open. The surroundings were still dark as the sun had not yet risen. About to call out asking who it was, Flora quickly changed her mind. Thinking it might be Claude like yesterday, she left the bed and hurried to the door, carefully turning the doorknob. However, Deverik stood beyond the opened door. "Butler?" "......You're awake." The butler handed her neatly folded clothes with a slightly apologetic…

It was a day no different from any other. After breakfast, she strolled briefly through the garden, and upon returning to the mansion, Yulvi approached and pointed to the guest reception room. "Flora, someone's here to see you." "......Me? Who?" Flora's eyes widened slightly at the news that someone was looking for her, not the master. It was the first time in her life she'd heard that someone was looking for her. But what followed was even more unexpected. "Well...... it's Young Lord…

"You've worked hard." As it was a coronation ceremony, Marquis Evansi, who had been virtually confined to his residence, also came to the imperial palace. His face was full of pride as he patted Arsen's shoulder. Though he had hoped for Arsen's victory, the marquis had also worried that he might be defeated. But to bring such a perfect victory… "I'm proud of you." "You flatter me." His son had failed, but he had gained an excellent son-in-law. The marquis chuckled and looked fondly at his…

If blood must be shed, it would be by his hands alone. He didn't intend to borrow the hands of Lydia, Kedrick, or anyone else. "......" The flickering fire created shadows on Arsen's face. Lydia quietly studied that face. Had he met Count Wonde in her previous life? Had he taken revenge on him? She couldn't know. But one thing she did know was that this time, she needed to stand behind Arsen. This was something Arsen had to do. Lydia couldn't take his revenge for him. "I'll resolve this…

Using the excuse of wedding invitations, Lydia planned a tea party to introduce Emily and Maria to society. It would have been easier to prepare alone, but she was even busier as she had to teach Emily and Maria the qualities of noble ladies. However, despite Lydia's frantic efforts, the tea party was deserted. "......No one is coming." "Is it because we're the ones hosting the party?" Emily and Maria became dejected when no one showed up even though it was time. "No, Her Majesty the Empress…

The Bayern ducal mansion had many treasures. Among them was a necklace with a pearl called the Mermaid's Tear. A necklace with memories attached—his father had proudly held his hand and explained it was "a treasure stolen by grandfather," only to get hit by his grandfather. It was a not particularly pretty necklace that his grandmother had kept and passed down to his mother. However, the family elders cherished the jewel because they believed the Mermaid's Tear could cure any disease…
