'Right, they say you forget heartbreak by finding someone else.' Isilla needs someone else to make her stop thinking about Kaien. Who would be good? When I turned my head, Edwin was the closest person. When our eyes met, Edwin recoiled and stepped back twice. "Ivy? Why are you looking at me like that?" "What? What's wrong, Ivy?" I have a conscience. I can't match Edwin with Isilla. Edwin is also the villain's helper and likes Rebecca. 'Both of them end up dead or missing.' The…-

Of course, Kaien did not accept. "Words without sincerity. People around us might take it seriously, so stop joking." "I'll always be waiting for you, Grand Duke." Our eyes met as Kaien passed in front of me, but I avoided his welcoming gaze. Would Kaien look at me with the same eyes tomorrow? Until I saw Kaien after getting out of the carriage, I had been quite excited about witnessing his first meeting with Rebecca, a scene from the novel. But once I actually saw him, I wanted to go…

A bird's sound was heard from nearby. Ah, this again. Did I take off my bracelet again? Sometimes while tossing in my sleep, the bracelet gets caught in the blanket and comes off, so I felt around for my wrist with my eyes closed, but the bracelet was still there. It sounded like it was asking "What are you doing now?" which was so cute it made me smile. I've had this dream before while sleeping next to Kaien. When I opened my eyes, sure enough. A chubby black bird about the size of a…

"I've finished discussing with the Emperor about raising you to marquis so you'll have a strong background when you enter the household, and giving you part of the grand duchy as a fief." I remembered my father lying in bed calling "Your Majesty." This is not something to say with a contented smile! In my urgency, I clutched my dress and stood up abruptly. "No! If he rises to Marquis, my father will collapse! He might die! He's already bedridden from overwork just from becoming a viscount! A…

"Wow." "Who is it?" "Oh, black hair, black eyes—could it be His G-Grace the Grand Duke!" The sounds and colors around me faded as all my attention focused on Kaien. He looked only at me without glancing around and extended his long, thick-jointed hand toward me. "Ivy, I've come to get you." I held my breath as I looked at Kaien. I had clearly seen Lady Rozian enter, yet here he was in just a shirt without even a coat, looking as if he had just come out from his office where he had…

"Have we arrived?" When I got out of the carriage, a magnificent white main gate appeared with a vast forest stretching beyond it. I could barely see the mansion above the trees in a straight line beyond the gate, but even that glimpse showed how enormous it was. Nobles typically lived in their provincial territories and came to the capital during the social season to stay in town houses. To own such a large mansion in the capital—the Grand Duke's residence was truly different. "What is…

The pannier made my hips look fully inflated, and the waistline of the overdress had abundant peach-colored frills. "It feels like she’s leading around three little piglets." The V-line overdress design made it appear deeply cut, but it wasn't different from the ball gowns I usually wore. "The neckline is too low. How is this different from walking around naked?" Tired of the constant criticism, the Madam recommended a muslin dress that hadn't even been ordered. "Th-then how about this…

The young ladies with peach-colored blushes on their cheeks seemed content with just reminiscing, and with dreamy eyes, they told me what had happened when I was away. "Count Glee was sitting alone when the Grand Duke entered with a frightening face." "He roughly tried to grab the Count's wrist and pull him down, but the Count, conscious of the surrounding gazes, offered him a seat, suggesting they talk while sitting." "Were you following me? Why are you so persistent? As a Grand Duke, you must…

"I said that because the dress was pretty. Is that strange?" Rebecca, with tears in her eyes, still didn't understand what she had done wrong. "Since you said that about the dress the young ladies were looking at, they probably took it as a declaration of war because you coveted their dress. Dresses are a sensitive matter for young ladies." "Declaration of war? No! I had no such intention. Not at all......" These were things Rebecca needed to learn besides manners to adapt to the noble…

I met Edwin before I started dating Kaien. I found Edwin collapsed and injured on the street, brought him home, and treated him. Edwin treated me with great respect, calling me his benefactor, but we remained friends, and even after I learned he was a Count, our friendship didn't change. Could Edwin, with his puppy-like good nature, be the villain's sinister helper who acts like an information broker? I shook my head in disbelief as Edwin smiled gently. "Ivy?" "Ah, what were we talking…
