— The baron and Baroness of Nilson could not hide their joy as they held the invitation from the duke in both hands. "Honey, it seems our family is finally getting the recognition it deserves." "I never thought the duke would extend his consideration to us. We should be grateful." "If your business goes well now, we'll be able to live in the capital without feeling inferior. Our Janice has already married into an excellent family, now if only Ellin......" Rosana, who had been firing words…-

#1. — "Aah......" Duke Dominic Linderto felt pain as if a needle pierced his head. "Jeffrey. Bring me some water." His rough, cracked voice called for the butler, but there was no answer. Only then did he realize he wasn't in his room but somewhere else. Pressing his eyes that refused to open, he slowly raised his body to find himself in a greenhouse filled with the cool air of dawn. He sat up on the long sofa and tried to remember the previous night. He hadn't drunk much last…

When Eurene drowsily fell asleep and opened her eyes again, a reddish sunset was faintly spreading across her round forehead. She slightly frowned while rubbing her cheek that had been pressed against her palm and her sleepy eyes, then let out an exclamation. Through the window, she could see white sandy beaches and rolling blue waves. It was the sea at sunset. The sea's color, as if covered with red flowers, was spectacular. Unconsciously entranced, she pressed her face against the glass window. Beyond…-

Eurene stared somewhat blankly at the preserved fruit that had fallen to the floor. The yellow flesh gleamed daintily, looking delicious. Even though it was shattered into pieces and covered with dirt. A mocking voice reached the ears of the rarely shocked Eurene, whose lips trembled. "Oh my! What happened?! Are you alright, Miss Eifel?" Eurene slowly raised her head to look at the woman who had caused this disaster. Red high heels stopped at the edge of her vision. Above them were sleek, well-shaped…

Days passed like that, and it seemed as if the routine would continue—boring, unchanging days spiced up with thrilling secret meetings. The fortunate Eurene naturally thought so. But before even three days had passed, shocking news arrived. "Sister-in-law, what did you say?" Eurene thought she'd misheard. I must not clean my ears enough. I'm hearing things. To the woman denying her own eardrums, Countess Eifel kindly confirmed the health of Eurene's cochlea. Of course, Eurene was perfectly healthy…

"We have arrived at Duke Carca's mansion." Startled by the coachman's sudden announcement, Eurene had been lost in her heated memories of carriage sex. She almost left a drool mark on her expensively arranged dress. As soon as she stepped out of the carriage, she was surrounded by the murmuring voices and laughter of people. Eurene looked around, blinking her eyelashes that a maid had painstakingly extended. What's this? She said it would be a small tea party, right? This was more like a debutante…

“Well, isn’t His Grace handsome?” Rona's dreamy words made Eurene nod her head. The main attractions of today's party are two things: the luxurious chocolate cake she is eating for the second time, and the Duke and Duchess standing in the middle of the party hall. Eurene absentmindedly licked the cream off her spoon. She mumbled, “But he's married.” “Can't you be quiet? You little brat.” “Ouch.” She rubbed her plump arm, which had turned red from her friend's sharp snap.…

"He has quite good taste." "What?" He looked at her with an irritated expression as she failed to understand his words, making her feel like she had done something wrong. "I mean wearing clothes made by craftsmen. My clothes are also made by the Empire's finest craftsmen." "What? Ah~ I see. That's a very important similarity. Sophisticated taste!" He looked down at me with an arrogant face as if to say, "You don't have the same discerning eye that I do." With an awkward smile, I pretended…-

It was late at night, and she wondered if he wouldn't come today. The acting Grand Chamberlain came in to inform her that the evening administrative meeting was continuing to run late. Thinking he wouldn't come as the night grew deeper, she laid her tired body on the bed. Perhaps because she hadn't been able to sleep due to various worries lately, she dozed off. Suddenly, she felt a chill and opened her eyes to find Charte looking down at her, making her sit up with a start. "Your…

Though I feared that the story had to be interesting every moment and that I might die instantly if it became even slightly boring, I also thought he wouldn't kill me so easily. We were comrades, allies who had weathered difficult times together! Thinking this way made me feel like we had a close relationship. I thought I could ask about his well-being, express gratitude to him as my lifesaver, and have a conversation as equals rather than as superior and subordinate. I even looked forward to…
