Rosette clutched her head. Words she had never told anyone spilled out smoothly. 'Stop talking!' Rosette had just confessed to murder. Yet Rosette's mouth wouldn't stop. "The, the only one who protects me is Her Highness! After the old maid serving Her Highness died, the head servant sent me here. Those filthy servant bastards. They're no different from the street thugs. Me, who had no power...... me......" Rosette drew in a sharp breath. "It was me. I said I would come. The black-haired…-

"......Has the princess learned the art of the bedchamber?" The Emperor muttered grumpily. "Your Majesty!" The secretaries called out to the Emperor with shocked expressions. Such things were learned by women on the streets. It wasn't something a noble princess should learn. The Emperor raised his eyebrows. "What exactly has that girl learned from the streets! She should be useful at times like this! If nothing else works, tell her to take off her clothes!" The secretaries kept their mouths…

Today was better than yesterday, hidden behind such crude wrapping. Marian had become a woman before he knew it. She had grown at least two spans taller than when he last saw her, and her cheeks had hollowed out making her face slender. Moreover, her now luxuriant hair gave off a sweet fragrance. Her skin, pale as if it hadn't seen sunlight, reflected the moonlight giving off a seductive glow like a mermaid's. Abel bit his tongue tip slightly. Her exposed slender neckline remained the same. Abel…

2. The lukewarm gathering continued until evening. The Empress and Emperor had joined hands to capture the heart of Princess Jains, who would become a new member of the imperial family. Marian maintained her place beside Cesare despite feeling tired. It was good that the imperial family members and Cesare were gathered here. Since Abel said he would come tonight, there would be a magical explosion soon. By being with them, Marian could secure her own alibi. After all, only Marian and Abel could…

Princess Jains smiled faintly. Benjamin and the Empress also chatted pretending to be cheerful. Then finally, like the main character, Cesare appeared. Cesare greeted with a smiling face. His gaze brushed past Marian last. Seeing her skinny body picking at food made him lose his appetite. Cesare sat next to Marian with an uncomfortable face. But at that moment, 'What is this scent?' Cesare turned to look at Marian. It was definitely familiar...... 'Ellie!' Yes, that scent. Cesare frowned…

Just as Marian had burned down a village, Abel had experienced something similar. When Abel awakened his magic at age three, fire broke out in the northern castle. House Drake quietly settled the matter and delivered compensation to the bereaved families. But the memory of that day would never be forgotten. No one could understand that devastation. Except Marian. Abel opened and clenched his hand. 'You came looking for me.' Having regained what was lost, he would take it. ** Before…

Changing her appearance hadn't made Marian unrecognizable. Even though he could barely use magic due to the sealing devices hanging heavily on his hands and feet, his senses and magic circuits were intact. Some things leak out unconsciously even when bound. 'Why are you in such a state......' He had imagined how Marian, who was like an ugly duckling, might be living now. But he never imagined she would appear like this, dressed like a street woman in the arms of trash like Cesare. When he was…

"Well......" Marian lowered her voice. Then she relaxed her power slightly. She could see Cesare's expression becoming hazier. The magical enchantment would continue as long as Marian didn't let her guard down. "I don't work anywhere yet. I haven't been in the palace long." "Is that so? Then I suppose it would be fine if you quit, right?" "Pardon?" Marian's eyes grew round. Even without Marian's intention, the conversation was flowing favorably. Cesare tapped Marian's cheek with his…

** "Haah!!" Marian rose from her bed, drenched in sweat. The bed was soaked as well. She looked around her surroundings. She felt her body. Her body had grown cold from the cold sweat. After being curled up for a long while, Marian only came to her senses when she realized she was in a room. She wrapped her entire body in the blanket. With her face buried in it, Marian sobbed. The tears she had been holding back burst forth. No one comforted Marian, no one protected Marian. No one loves…

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and headed toward those who were eagerly waiting for him. Cesare let out a hollow laugh. Taking responsibility for Marian wasn't Cesare's choice. Wasn't Marian too inadequate and disappointing a partner for Cesare? Cesare's lips trembled slightly. A mere maid's daughter. If Marian hadn't possessed that ability, she wouldn't have even been called a princess. The only reason Cesare overlooked Marian was for one thing alone. It was for his child that would be born from…
