"Strictly speaking, he's a boy rumored to be an illegitimate child." Mrs. Moson took a deep breath, regaining her composure. She expressed surprise that I, having just arrived in the territory, knew about this matter. "He's a boy His Grace rescued from the Forest of Demonic Beasts before going to Lindal. Rumors spread that he brought an illegitimate child under the pretext of being a survivor from the Forest of Demonic Beasts." "I remember. But the child was young then, and I had only recently…-

Three elders had attended the banquet, but a fourth arrived late at the main castle, and all four entered the reception room. When I greeted them accompanied only by Mrs. Moson, two of the elders made no effort to hide their relief, while Roland checked whether anyone else was in the reception room. The initial conversation atmosphere was mild. The customary admonitions that elders could give to a Grand Duchess. Along with requests to lead the grand ducal household well, they also lectured me…

"Welcome. Since you mentioned having an appointment in the afternoon, I hastily arranged this meeting." "It was my request." Elder Marien greeted the Grand Duchess as she entered the reception room. Though they hadn't set a precise appointment during yesterday's banquet after arriving at the Grand Duke's castle, the Grand Duchess had summoned Marien the next day. Even traveling in a magically stabilized carriage, she must not have fully recovered from the journey's fatigue. As soon as the…

The main castle is located at the top of the enormous Grand Duke's castle. After arriving, being shown to our room, and resting briefly, it became time for the banquet. Kaien went straight to his office with administrators, secretaries, and other retainers upon arrival, and only returned to our room when it was time for the banquet. "You're here?" Kaien simply leaned against the door, quietly gazing at me. "Should I cancel the banquet?" "What? Why?" "I don't want to show you to…

Asilia, known as the Grand Duchy. After passing a signpost at the territory's border that read 'Asilia begins here,' I spent a night at an inn. I opened my eyes in Kaien's warm embrace to find the world outside the window blindingly white. As if entranced, I got out of bed and approached the window. "It's snow." The capital was relatively warm, so even when it snowed in winter, it melted quickly without accumulating, but here the overnight snowfall had piled up to ankle height. The entire…

Recently, he had been wearing his formal uniform frequently to meet with the Emperor and nobles to handle affairs. With his shining epaulets and black uniform displaying the grand ducal family, I had seen him off this morning, but seeing him again made me speechless with how handsome he looked. He wrapped his arm around my waist and naturally kissed my cheek. "I heard you were here." "Are you on your way back to the residence?" "Yes. Are you finished talking?" "Not yet. We've just started…

Café Magi still had a long line of people waiting to buy desserts. The path where the demonic beast had passed through had been a mess, but parts of it were now restored, and people were as lively as before. "Thank you for visiting us." Without even mentioning my name, the clerk recognized the emblem on the carriage and guided me to a private room. Isilla and Rebecca had already arrived. "You came early." "Oh, of course. When meeting the Grand Duchess, we should wait in…

"Emperor Ulriciaan! We made you emperor! You should remember our contributions!" The Duchess screamed at the Emperor with bloodshot eyes and a face flushed bright red. But it was merely the whimpering of a dog that had lost the fight. "Ransel!" As if they had been waiting for Kaien's call, all doors of the courtroom opened simultaneously and knights entered. "The verdict has been delivered. Take her away!" When the knights grabbed the Duchess's arms at the command, she resisted by shaking…

"Cu-curse? Are you saying there's a curse above my head? No! Get away! Ugh, cough!" The High Priest flailed his hands trying to knock Helbaitz off his head. When he used holy power, Helbaitz cut his rosary with sharp claws. The unrefined holy power made him even more excited as he rampaged. "He-help! Save me! Your Grace! Your Majesty!" Helbaitz dodged the hands while somehow managing to stay attached. Even when the High Priest wrapped his arms around his head and crouched on the floor…

Kaien opened the door of the nobility seats and extended his hand to me. I took his hand and descended into the courtroom, standing at a distance from the Duchess. People looked puzzled since normally a previous witness should be dismissed when a new witness appears, but that wasn't happening. "Please introduce yourself." It felt strange when Kaien addressed me so formally. The tips of my toes curled inside my shoes. "I am Ivy Blemer." Our recent marriage had been widely publicized so…
