Elfleda guided them up to the second floor, to her reception room where sunlight streamed in abundantly. "The social circles in the capital are worse than here, never less severe." "Severe? What do you mean?" Rudbeckia asked Elfleda as she sat down on the sofa. "I mean the financial extravagance is severe. Since it's a cold region, winter fabrics are expensive to begin with. Even with poor designs, people win with fabric quality. Of course, you'll win with both fabric and design." Elfleda…-

Abel stared at the King of Jains with cold eyes. The King of Jains watched him cautiously. Having let go of Emperor Federico's hand, the King of Jains's last option was now Abel. "......Are you unwell? If there's anything troubling you, feel free to speak." The King of Jains's gaze wandered over Abel's hair, which was light brown. 'I heard mages have black hair.' Abel sensed the King's gaze and withdrew his magic. The King's eyes widened as he saw Abel's hair turn black. "......A mage is…-

At that time, Benjamin had been almost out of his mind for the past few days. He had been so preoccupied with Princess Jains's disappearance that he had forgotten about other matters for a while. But Benjamin never imagined that among the things he had forgotten and postponed would be the disappearance of his own children. Benjamin roughly opened the door to the Empress's palace. The Empress stared at Benjamin with a cold expression. "What rudeness is this." The Empress was in the middle of…

At the banquet hall where Marian and Helena had not yet returned… After a long time of maintaining his sanity, good news arrived for Cesare. "Vanessa? Is that true?" Cesare asked in a lowered voice. The servant who came with the errand bowed his head. The truth wasn't something the servant could know. He had only heard the message from the coachman who came from Count Yulian's estate. "What's the matter, Cesare." "......It's nothing." Cesare smiled brightly. Benjamin wore a puzzled…

She felt déjà vu. This repertoire of being thoroughly exhausted, receiving a goodbye kiss in a dazed state, and then being delivered back to the count's mansion felt extremely familiar. And if things went well, this might not even be the end. Eurene entered her room with mixed feelings, unsure whether she felt good or bad. Usually, even if she occasionally felt a bit guilty, she would feel pleasantly languid after meeting Van, but today was completely different. Probably because she had seen so…-

How did it come to this? Eurene thought blankly. The incident began three hours earlier when she received a familiar tea time invitation. After sleeping in until noon and rubbing her disheveled hair while coming downstairs for breakfast, the butler suddenly presented her with a sealed letter. Shuddering at the strange sense of déjà vu, she took the letter and opened it. Then she gasped in surprise. To Miss Eurene Eifel I would like to enjoy good tea while chatting together. Would…

— Rumble, crash! Thunder and lightning came with the downpour. Dominic, who had ridden through the pitch-black night in the rain, quickly dismounted when he reached the mansion's entrance. Due to his sudden late-night arrival, there was no one waiting outside for him. "Oh! Your Grace!" When he entered the corridor completely soaked, the servants and butler who finally saw him were startled, looking as though they had seen a ghost. "Is my mother alright?" As he removed his wet…-

— "My goodness. Look who's here. The duchess has arrived!" Rosana's affected voice made everyone in the living room turn toward the entrance. Marie, who happened to be carrying tea, nearly dropped her tray in surprise when she saw the person who had just entered. 'Miss Ellin?!' Wearing a form-fitting dark purple dress and a hat adorned with flowers and feathers, she embodied the very essence of a noble lady. She was no longer the provincial young lady in a faded floral dress with her…

— The duke's mansion was deathly quiet in the evening, in stark contrast to the splendid wedding ceremony held during the day. The atmosphere had settled so calmly that it was hard to believe today had been a wedding day. Jeffrey asked Higgins, who had walked down the long corridor. "Is he still in the study?" "Yes. Just like always." When Higgins shrugged his shoulders while looking back at the study, Jeffrey made a slightly troubled face. No matter how he thought about it, this…

— At that time, another carriage was heading toward the duke's residence. The two carriages passed each other at the straight entrance to the duke's mansion. Ellin, looking out the window, made eye contact with the owner of the passing carriage. "Ah......" The person wearing a pretty hat adorned with flowers and jewels was Silvia. Unlike Ellin's surprised expression, Silvia's face was very dark. Her eyelids were red and swollen, perhaps from crying. Silvia's expression upon seeing…
