The lights came on in the study of the Blemer Grand Ducal residence. Illuminating the study officially announced the Grand Duke's return to the capital. Though he had already reported his return to the Emperor, he needed to attend an Imperial City ball soon to make his presence known in social circles. Ransel, the second son of Count Wonser and the loyal aide to the Grand Duke of Blemer, hesitated briefly at Kaien's order. "Again? The Emperor is not an easy person. Will he readily…-

"Send the bill to the Blemer Grand Ducal family." "Yes, it's an honor to serve Your Grace today. When you send a servant next time, we'll bring all the products to the Grand Ducal residence, so please call us at your convenience. We look forward to seeing you again." The jewelry workshop owner who had turned pale when Kaien appeared and frantically claimed it was a closed day now bid us farewell with flushed cheeks and a deep bow as we left. The workshop owner was quite pleased, saying they had…

The villain is a man with a strong obsession for what he considers his. 'Even after meeting the female protagonist, he might straddle both relationships and not break up with me.' I glared at Kaien while cursing inwardly, but quickly lowered my gaze when our eyes met. The carriage interior was quiet as Kaien and I sat facing each other. 'Then I should make him want to break up.' Though I don't fully understand male psychology, I could act like a woman he'd want to avoid. "Ah, I just…

"Ivy, now you must die. I've found true love, so you who know my secret are in the way." Behind me was a cliff, and in front of me stood Kaien. Next to him clung a woman in a dress whose face I couldn't see. Kaien looked down at me and drew his sword. The blade was so well-honed that it reflected my frightened face. "Let's end this." When did he go from trying to keep me to this? Tears poured down my face as I couldn't believe the situation. "Kaien, why are you doing this? I won't tell…

"Wh-what brings you here? What a coincidence meeting in a place like this." Even to my own ears, my voice sounded pathetically shaky. ‘Calm down, Ivy.’ Mother often said that even if you enter a tiger's den, you just need to keep your wits about you. Of course, the mindset that led someone to enter a tiger's den in the first place should be fixed, but anyway. Kaien's silent smile was as brutal as someone who had just finished a slaughter. "It looks like you're fleeing from me in the…

"Carriage movement ban?" "Yes, I passed the message to the coachman, so you'll give me cookies, right?" When I opened the kitchen door on the first floor, the child stood there, hands behind his back, fidgeting with his feet. Perhaps feeling anxious that he couldn't call a carriage himself, the child looked at me nervously. "Give him cookies, Love." "Hmm, yes, Miss." While Love went to get cookies with a displeased expression, I questioned the child. "Did you meet the…

His words were cold, but he was my savior, and above all, his face compensated for his frigid tone. The brown hair covering his forehead looked wild, and his black eyes, shining even in darkness, were so deep they seemed to pull me in. With distinct features and deep-set eyes that were captivating, he was the most attractive man I had ever seen. As I stared at him entranced, a cold droplet fell on my arm, and suddenly rain began pouring down. It came down as if someone had emptied a bucket all…

The moment I turned my head to look at the man, I stopped breathing. He had a hood wrapped around his head in the style of the neighboring country Magris, casting a deep shadow on his face, but his black eyes flashed from within. My shoulders trembled at the feeling that his black eyes, like pupils of unfathomable depth, were sucking in my very soul. "I-I don't know who you are, but this is a matter between the lady and me! Don't interfere!" "Let go of that hand if you don't want your wrist cut…

Whenever my mother talked about the novel, she would say: "We should just watch without interfering. If we meddle and the story goes wrong, troublesome things might happen. Be especially careful never to get involved with the villain." She earnestly warned me not to go anywhere near him, saying that since the villain was malicious, heartless, and cruel, it would be disastrous if I got entangled and caught in the crossfire. When high-ranking nobles attended parties, they were surrounded by so many…

"It's a miracle! How did they find their daughter after 15 years?" "I know, right? A miracle happened in the Hemington family. To think they found a daughter they thought was dead!" The front page of today's newspaper featured this story prominently, and people gathered in small groups on the streets were all chatting excitedly about Rebecca Hemington. "My acquaintance's son's friend's younger sibling works at the Hemington residence, and they say that when the daughter returned, the Countess wept…
