Priest Homer quickly pulled the shoulder of the priest who was about to touch the remains to the princess's arm, disrupting him. So urgently that his priest robes fluttered. "Stop the examination!" "Priest?" The priest looked back at Priest Homer with a bewildered expression. "It was the ring." Kaien, standing beside me, muttered softly. His voice was so quiet that only I heard it. His hand lightly brushed my hair as if giving a kiss. "Priest Homer?" "Priest, why?" Priest…-

While Priest Homer was looking at Kaien, Duke Teian and the prince entered with quick steps behind him. The duke approached the Emperor, whose expression had hardened, and spoke in a low voice. I heard it too since I was not far from them. "Your Majesty, I apologize. A servant announced the Grand Duke's arrival." "It can't be helped. Good work." When the Emperor perfunctorily acknowledged the duke's efforts and turned his gaze to the priest, the duke's expression changed completely. At…

Kaien's carriage arrived at the grand ducal residence. I had welcomed him at the entrance before, but being married made it feel different. Though we got married today, so much had happened that it felt like days had passed. As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, Kaien rushed past the servants who were greeting him and came straight to me standing on the entrance steps. Despite whatever tiring events had occurred, his eyes sparkled with longing, joy, and anticipation like a boy's. Seeing…

"Grand Duke, do you intend to sacrifice the princess instead of yourself?" Kaien didn't even turn his head toward the duke who spoke to him. It was strange enough that Duke Millers Teian, who hadn't been invited, attended the wedding, but now he had followed the Emperor's summons and taken a seat. The Emperor sat with a gloomy expression, apparently unwilling to speak until the princess's examination was complete. In the meantime, the duke came to Kaien's side and spouted nonsense. Kaien…

Maids from the grand ducal household arrived early at dawn. The previous day they had been busy in the morning for the engagement ceremony, but today they came with packed meals before sunrise, in the blue dawn, and pushed my mother and me into the bathroom. Love obediently ate snacks, following Benji's advice that staying still was the best way to help. My father escaped, making excuses that he had work left at the Finance Department and would attend the wedding later, afraid he might be dragged…

Rose Hall in the Imperial City was smaller than the Main Hall where our wedding would be held tomorrow, but it had a cozy and sacred atmosphere. The engagement ceremony of the prince, the future Emperor of Ingmier, was held modestly with only a few major nobles in attendance. The prince, dressed in his formal attire, looked more dignified and dependable than before. Rebecca stood beside him in a beautiful and elegant blue dress, and anyone could see they were a perfectly matched couple. The high…

"I feel sorry for the madam." A person who travels freely and lives comfortably as she pleases is pitiful? Father was always left to clean up the aftermath of accidents that happened during her travels. Love's words were so absurd that I couldn't help but laugh hollowly. If she were a stranger, I might understand, but Love knows our family situation inside and out. She's been our maid since before I entered the academy and has seen me spending lonely times without my mother, yet she says…

To put it simply, the strange phenomenon that threatened me did not occur. After that, Rebecca visited the grand ducal residence. As someone who would soon need to prepare for engagement and marriage, she wanted to learn how these events were conducted.

At that moment, I approached and joined their conversation…

"Welcome." When I arrived at the Hemington family mansion, it was Prince Bahel who greeted me, not the count or the head butler. The servants and Count Hemington, who belatedly emerged into the reception room, seemed to accept as routine the prince welcoming guests at the Hemington residence as if it were his own home. 'So it's true that he comes to the count's mansion every day.' "Rebecca will wake up soon if you wait a little." "I'm sorry for only visiting now. Is Rebecca…

"How have you been all this time?" Helbaitz, who usually grumbles and barely acts when ordered, voluntarily fluttered ahead of the horse, insisting on being the guide. But the horse walked faster, so he eventually landed on the horse's head. He skillfully controlled the horse, leading it in the desired direction. They were heading toward the upscale residential area on the outskirts of the capital. "Edwin is hiding in a place like this?" I thought that if he were alive, he would have…
