"......Wow." The dazed Chris clapped his hands as if in admiration. Is it that people grow similar when they're in love, or that similar people are attracted to each other? Chris briefly thought that the two seemed somehow alike, knowingly or unknowingly. Especially in the way they gently persuaded others to get what they wanted. 'Well, what does it matter?' It's simply a joy for subordinates when the people they serve are capable and intelligent. Chris nodded with a satisfied…-

"It's anti-exius. It arrived two days ago. It was difficult to bring in fresh flowers, so we brought it in as dried petals in tea form." "Ah! So it's already arrived." Lumiere exclaimed briefly in admiration and received the box Chris handed to her. "The pills from the pharmacist of Tartien seem somewhat effective, but completely detoxifying would give us both peace of mind. Please make sure to drink one cup every morning and evening starting today." "I will. Thank you, Chris." Lumiere…

"......Lumiere, Lumiere! Are you conscious?" Lumiere, who opened her eyes slowly at the voice calling her, jumped up from her seat in surprise. In front of her stood Elina and Michael with worried faces, and Arwin who had turned pale. "Why, why am I lying down?" "You suddenly fainted, are you okay?" "Fainted?" "Yes. Not for long, about 10 minutes? Are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?" Elina asked worriedly, but Lumiere was too confused to give a proper answer. 'Why did I suddenly…

Schultz Tartien immediately took a carriage and crossed the bridge. He stopped the carriage in front of 〈Isaac〉 and went down to the basement with a flushed face and large strides. In his hand was the weekly magazine his secretary had brought him earlier, rolled up. The basement, not yet open for business, was filled with hazy floating dust and the smell of stale cigars due to poor ventilation. And in the deepest part of that basement was the room of 〈Isaac〉's owner,…

Several of his followers were quickly walking behind the man. "......Landers seems to think this palace is his own house." Karl watched Landers' retreating figure hurrying somewhere with a smirk. His indifferent gaze followed the end of Landers' steps as he walked with a slight limp, leaning on his cane. "He's been poking around everywhere lately, it's killing me. Led by Landers, all sorts of nobles are gathering at the palace." Fuego grumbled, holding his forehead as if he had a…

"......Something I need to do?" Rosa had thanked Karl for matters related to the orphanage, and also betrayed Evoque at great risk to apologize to her. And Karl Winger had probably done something in return. 'Everyone is trying to use me.' That thought crossed her mind briefly, but since she had handed herself over as a chess piece from the beginning, she had nothing to say. Rosa smiled as if asking her to continue. Lumiere then said something unexpected to Rosa. "I'm preparing a new…

"......" Again. Lumiere quickly lowered her eyes, feeling she might burst into tears inappropriately in front of Elina again. Why did her heart become so soft whenever she stood before Elina? Lumiere carefully raised her eyes to look at Elina. The stylishly aged middle-aged woman was looking at Lumiere without the slightest wavering. Her gaze was warm and affectionate. Staring at that face quietly, Lumiere somehow felt she understood why her heart weakened around Elina. She…

These days, the social circles were buzzing about the fire at the Tartien ducal family. Saying that even Tartien, who was said to make birds fall from the sky, was helpless against flames, nobles secretly and openly badmouthed them. The same was true at the hunting competition held regularly by the royal family every quarter. Although it lacked its former prestige because their king didn't attend, nobles who loved to gather and play attended without fail every time, wasting the national…

"To be precise......" "You said it should be a story with a hopeful ending, not an unhappy one." Lumiere repeated his words without missing a single letter. Luka nodded in agreement. Lumiere straightened her back and took a deep breath. '......Karl, when did you start preparing this story.' The owner of the largest opera theater in Levania. The only person who could spread this shocking story without any restrictions. She thought that perhaps he had been preparing for this moment…

"I heard that you helped me during that process, is that right?" Lumiere, who had finished her story, asked while holding Tamia's hand. Tamia hesitated for a moment before nodding briefly. "......I see. Then perhaps that help is related to my missing memories?" Tamia couldn't answer Lumiere's second question and just looked at her. Lumiere nodded with a smile. "Karl said you might not be able to answer. It's okay. That's enough. He said the anti-exius will arrive soon. He said it would be…
