"No way. Why would Rebecca break my leg? It's a misunderstanding. Just my own mistake." Isilla answered indifferently while eating grapes in bed. Except for her bandaged leg, she looked like a young lady resting at a resort. She detached a grape and made it bounce like it was walking, then "As I was getting into the carriage, my shoe slipped and I fell backward......" She popped it into her mouth. "And it broke." "Is your head okay?" I urgently checked Isilla's head, but there were…-

The day after our engagement, we headed to the Imperial City to report our engagement to the Emperor. While walking down the corridor guided by Count Barcha, who managed the Imperial City, Prince Bahel approached from the opposite direction. "Grand Duke, I heard about your engagement. Congratulations." His attention quickly turned to me. "Is this the future Grand Duchess?" "This is Ivy from the Viscount Rabbit family, Your Highness." "Congratulations on your engagement." "Thank…

"Roland?" While everything that came from Helbaitz's mouth was devastating personal information, Roland's situation was the worst. If he wasn't of Blemer blood, his position would be revoked and he would be expelled from the family. But there was no one as capable as Roland in his family. "Through the temple's verification process, we've confirmed that His Grace is free of the curse. We Blemers have finally been liberated from the shackles of the curse." "I never thought such a day would…

I could feel the burning anger in his eyes. I anxiously watched Kaien sitting beside me, worried he might explode if this continued any longer. He was already feeling sorry for making me take on the curse. "Have you observed me to be such a rash person?" "Of course we believe Your Grace. However, since you care for the lady, your judgment might be clouded by personal feelings." "For a lady with no abilities to remove a curse—naturally, this situation raises suspicion." "There are…

I raised my head after speaking vaguely and roughly, unable to explain in detail, and saw both Baron Gohalm and Kaien with their mouths open. "Somehow?" Yes, even Kaien wouldn't understand. That curse had been so stubbornly attached to him. Baron Gohalm, who had been opening and closing his mouth, stammered. "S-so the curse detached? You're saying it just happened somehow? How could this happen when holy artifacts had negative effects on His Grace's body?" "What happened to the curse…

Kaien is a life-saving benefactor who rescued an abandoned life, a comrade who shared life and death, and someone more trustworthy than family to Edwin. Though Edwin's head was still attached because he hadn't revealed the curse, Kaien didn't even accept him as a subordinate. An overwhelming difference in power. Though he narrowly avoided it, the trembling that made his hair stand on end didn't subside. Kaien Blemer, who didn't even treat others as equals, now treated Edwin as an…

I embraced Kaien from behind as he gazed out the window. My arms filled with his body. Kaien placed his hands on my arms that held him. I couldn't help but smile. "Edwin came too, but he left quickly." The excitement from the party guests had transferred to me, making my cheeks hot. The beer we shared was delicious, and the home party atmosphere along with Kaien's gentle expression made me feel elated. I nestled in Kaien's arms as we looked down at the alley together. "The viscount has…

"The curse." Kaien wasn't surprised. He examined the curse carefully with cold eyes. The curse didn't avoid his gaze and glared back at him. The curse jumped onto the table with a thud and approached Kaien one step at a time, like a beast cornering its prey with no escape. The deep, raspy voice coming from its small open beak felt ominous, but its appearance was still just that of a small bird. "I'll kill you." Kaien slowly stood up and pulled out a sharp dagger from behind his…

As I rose from the sofa, Kaien knelt on the floor to match my eye level. His small consideration made me smile. "When I was young, my father became a baronet and started working at the Finance Department in the Imperial City." Though we had risen from commoners to baronets, our household wasn't much different from others. Some households had mothers who did housework and took care of children, while many neighbors had children staying home alone all day because their parents were…

"This was conducted secretly by the grand temple." Ransel, who had been standing quietly, surveyed the elders in the gathering. "Some of you were present at that meeting, so you should know the situation. Tell us. Should His Grace have rejected the temple's proposal at that time?" Ransel, seemingly irritated, flashed his characteristic sneer, grating on their nerves. "Holy knights were positioned all around, waiting for His Grace. If His Grace had shown any different reaction at that meeting,…
