Her Father and Sage came to visit every morning for a while. They only left to start their day after seeing Saena awake and moving. They seemed very worried. Perhaps it was because they feared Saena might not wake up again after falling asleep, or maybe it was because they had wandered the entire mansion like mad people in the middle of the night, searching for Yuri. It wasn’t hard to understand their feelings. Even so, Saena spent her time in a…-

She had been lost in trivial thoughts about how remarkably beautiful her hands had become since earlier. It was also strange how her family members, whom she hadn't seen up close in years, all looked oddly younger. "Do you know how shocked we were when a child who was down with a cold suddenly fell into a coma and wouldn't wake up?" Sage stroked Saena's head while letting out a sigh of relief. His voice seemed slightly choked with emotion, showing his genuine relief. "...A cold?" "You were…

There was a burst of light in an instant. Saena slightly closed her eyes and then reopened them at the suddenly overwhelming brightness. The first thing that caught her eye was the dazzling chandelier hanging from the ceiling. And then, the gazes. Feeling the sudden attention directed at her, Saena slowly scanned the hall. When she debuted for the first time, those gazes had felt so suffocating. She couldn’t even remember how she had made her…

“Miss!” Even though the sun had been up for quite some time, Saena hadn’t moved from her room, and it seemed the news had reached her nanny, who came looking for her. Ugh. The nanny’s energetic voice carried an ominous tone. Saena pulled the blanket over her head, pretending to be asleep, but it didn’t take long for her act to be discovered. “I know you’re not sleeping.” “……” “You need to get up and get…

Saena returned to the townhouse. Upon arrival, she instructed the attendants to move the materials and was about to enter the building when the porch appeared unusually chaotic. The butler was pacing back and forth, flustered, looking quite disoriented. ‘Is there a guest coming over?’ It seemed far too hectic to be merely preparing for a guest's visit. The staff of the Debov family were generally well-trained, so it was unusual for them to act so…

The Founding Festival ended. Whether it was short or long, for Saena, it felt strangely eventful. Even though she only attended the first and last banquets. 'I'm glad it's over.' Saena left the townhouse immediately the day after the final banquet. As soon as she entered her room in Delvon, Saena threw herself onto the bed. Thump. "Yelp!" Saena screamed in response to something on the bed making a strange noise while fluttering about. "Ah!" As she raised her startled body to…

"Ugh..." The next day, Saena woke up with a throbbing headache. Why does her head feel like it's about to split? Pressing her forehead, Saena rose and scanned the room. Her memories gradually returned. 'Ah right, this isn't our house.' After drinking last night... Her memory after drinking the whiskey was hazy. Perhaps mixing drinks when she wasn't even good with alcohol had been a mistake. Or maybe drinking spirits had been the mistake. "Water..." Her throat burning intensely,…

"Miss!" Saena returned to the mansion more mentally than physically exhausted and fell asleep after undergoing another simple treatment in her room. She really wanted to sleep in late today. But her nanny barged in first thing in the morning. "Miss, wake up!" "Mmm, why.... I want to sleep more." "You can't. We've received a visitation request!" A visitation request? "...This early in the morning? Don't tell me it's for today?" "Yes." Who would send a letter requesting a same-day…

In the carriage on the way back, Saena held Yolly and scolded it. "You, why are you causing so much trouble? You know exactly what you're doing, don't you?" The way it rolled its eyes while wagging its tail clearly showed it was pretending not to know. "I really want to hit you." When she shook her fist above Yolly's forehead, its ears drooped down, clearly showing it understood everything. "Kyang!" Its bark sounded exactly like it was saying 'I'm wronged!' "What, wronged?" Judging…

The imperial palace, the tallest building in Phaesle. Perhaps because it could be seen from anywhere in the capital. It felt as if eyes were attached to the top of that tall tower, following and watching Saena's every move. Even after leaving the imperial palace, she felt that gaze continuing to follow her. The sticky, uncomfortable feeling didn't improve even after arriving at the townhouse. "Prepare the carriage!" This wasn't the time to be alone in the capital. She needed to go to…
