Winter to spring. During the changing seasons, many people working in the ducal family moved busily. Some decided where to hold the ceremony, while others determined how to decorate the space for the ceremony. 'They're even deciding each dish to be served at the reception in advance, aren't they?' Despite preparing step by step to avoid rushing and ruining things as the wedding approached, everyone was still busy now that the wedding was near. 'It's not like I'm not busy either.' I was…-

'......Why isn't he saying anything?' I felt an intense desire to escape from the suffocatingly quiet atmosphere. After all, Theodore, the male lead's brother and my future contract husband, had been staring blankly after muttering "I can see your face." Like someone deep in thought. As the silence made me feel increasingly uncomfortable, he met my eyes again. Those eyes were different from when he first apologized to me. They had a special gleam, like someone who had discovered hope. But since…

Memories of childhood generally fade as time passes. Even now, while I'm still considered young, I can barely remember the distant time just after I was born. So I sometimes wonder. Given that I still have difficulty distinguishing people's faces due to the curse, wouldn't it have been even harder when I was younger? 'It's strange.' With such thoughts, I had been living the same routine every day, but today was different. At the end of the day. Not wanting to encounter anyone, I…

"Let's adopt this child." A voice as clear and beautiful as a pearl. When I heard those words from the owner of that voice, I cannot express how happy I was. I thought I wouldn't have to survive another day on dry, crumbly bread. I thought I wouldn't have to see people coming back injured and demanding I heal them with my healing ability. Believing this, without hesitation, I followed the Marchioness. "From now on, you will be called 'Isabelle Valenti.'" "Isabelle......" "Do you…

My mother, with eyes wide open, covered her mouth as she examined the clothes filling my wardrobe. They were all bought by Ian. Masterpieces from skilled tailors, expensive fabrics, and famous designers—truly works of art. I had been just looking at them, too precious to wear, but my mother was busy examining the hangers, touching the fabrics, and exclaiming in admiration. An ominous feeling circled that one of them would no longer be mine today. "Kayla, these were bought by the Duke,…-

The cautious voice belonged to someone familiar I heard every night. But I couldn't answer that question and pretended to be asleep by closing my eyes. I didn't know what expression I should wear or what words I should say. His presence, which I had faced so many times before, now felt more unfamiliar than anyone else's, and my heart pounded violently as I heard his approaching footsteps. "I heard you haven't eaten anything. Should I bring you something to eat now?" He seemed to have pulled…

I tried to understand the current situation while covering my lips. Did I just get kissed for no reason in front of all these people? Beyond embarrassment, I felt wronged. I had thought his repeated questions about how many times he could kiss me today were jokes, and even after my face was grabbed, I lacked the sense of reality to anticipate such a worst-case scenario. And Ian had precisely targeted this vulnerability, executing his plan with impeccable timing. "I-I won't forgive…

The marriage certificate included the Chief Justice's handwritten signature, which was said to be rarely seen, and beneath it, Ian's and my names were written side by side and stored in the court's archives. Once everything was settled, Ian opened the conversation with a friendly smile. "Thanks to you, the matter was resolved quickly. Thank you." "Not at all. This is for Miss Pernia, of all people, so it's only natural." Though it had happened so suddenly that I still felt dazed, Chief Justice…

There was only one time like that. I snuck out of the house without my father knowing and climbed a mountain in the middle of the night to see the full moon. It was a night when sweat stuck clammily to my hands, mixed with tension and excitement, and my breath was so painful that I couldn't speak a word...... "......I think it's much higher than I expected." "Are you tired?" "Yes." "Then take my hand." The strong guiding hand raised my spirit when I was about to give up. After climbing…

Not long after Felix escaped, the capital was suddenly attacked by northern soldiers. Kervic, sensing danger, hurriedly gathered soldiers to fight them, but the situation was unfavorable. "Soldiers have already been dispatched due to security issues at the eastern border. There aren't enough to defend the capital." "The soldiers who went to suppress the southern farmers' uprising are hurrying back to the capital... but if we're not careful, defense might be difficult as they'll be caught between…-
