'What a miserable land. It's too cold.' Cecil, sitting in the reception room, rubbed her frozen earlobes. The white snow settling on her eyelashes fell with a surreal quality despite it being summer. Cecil looked beyond the moist glass window while blowing out white breath. The northern season was always struck by blizzards. The butler poured her a warm cup of tea. "His Grace the Grand Duke will be here soon." "Fine." To think she had set foot here herself. Cecil frowned irritably while…-

"My name is Anne." The girl who came to the Duke of Adrian's mansion after being introduced bowed her head politely to the kind-looking head butler. "So you're the child who was supposed to come today? From the viscount's house?" "Yes. That's right." Anne handed the letter of introduction to the old butler. He scanned the paper and then examined her face. "Are you really eighteen?" "Yes, I often hear that I look older." "We don't lack servants, but since the viscount strongly…

"Jeff... are you crying?" After escaping from what would be recorded as the worst dinner in the history of the duchy, Jeff went straight to his bedroom and huddled in the corner. Until Estelle returned after cleaning up the situation, he remained crouched on the floor with his head leaning against the wall. Looking down at his drooping figure that seemed especially pitiful today, Estelle said: "I'm sorry for exposing you. But... the situation was too urgent. You know, if we had fought there... it…

Long wrinkled curtains hung on one side of the room where frames of pure gold encased masterpiece paintings. Opening those curtains revealed a secret space inside. There, men dressed in luxurious fabrics woven with elaborate patterns were gathered in secrecy. "Ahem! My apologies. I'm a bit late." A man with a massive build dripping with grease entered belatedly and sat down at the table where fragrant teacups were placed. "Well, couldn't you have... left the dog behind? For such an important…

Drrruk. Drrruk. Caesar's eyes opened involuntarily at the noise of something hard being dragged across the floor. He frowned with displeasure but wasn't surprised. There couldn't be two women in this mansion who barged into his bedroom every morning without knocking and disturbed his sweet sleep. 'How tiresome.' Caesar, who had buried his face in the pillow, got up. Because the damn purification time was approaching. "......" Oh? He blinked slowly. "Your Highness, I apologize for…

Estelle arrived at the annex, which was as grand as the mansion itself, and busily scanned her surroundings with roving eyes. "Initially it was a two-story building, but it was expanded when it became quarters for the knights. The training ground floor was originally paved with stone slabs, but they were later removed and replaced with sand because they were frequently damaged during training." The knights who spotted Estelle bowed their heads awkwardly. They glanced at her curiously but didn't dare…

The next day, Caesar, who had been dozing in bed, stirred at the sound of the door opening. The noise was enough to wake him from his light sleep. No one had ever dared to disturb him, but that day was different. "Fuck......" Caesar cursed as he raised his upper body and looked at the insane person who had boldly invaded his bedroom. "Good morning!" The woman who greeted him with a refreshing voice threw open the tightly closed thick curtains. The dazzling sunlight assaulted Caesar,…

Jeff swallowed hard as he watched Estelle wringing water from the hem of her skirt. An involuntary groan escaped his lips at the sight of her smooth legs. He felt like he was on trial once again. 'How did it come to this......? I was just going to show her to the room and leave......' Estelle kept detaining Jeff as he tried to leave. She made uncomfortable requests without hesitation—asking for clothes to wear, help with pulling strings, or unbuttoning buttons. "What are you doing? Undo this in…

The commotion at the separate palace quickly subsided. Felix commanded the servants to continue preparations for departure with a cool face, and the subjects moved in unison. I returned to the separate palace yard with a blank expression after chasing Kervic. 'Laila... does she know too? That Kervic brainwashed Lecia with dark magic?' I traced the ending of the original story. After executing Kervic by holding an enormous stake burning, Felix spared Laila. He believed her words that she not only…-

A few hours before the assassin attacked Marina. Felix couldn't concentrate on his work because of his restless heart. He had been on edge since he learned he would have to work through the night to prepare for the suddenly decided northern inspection. 'Semper.... How bold to suggest overturning Kervic's achievements.' Felix smiled faintly as he recalled Marina Enchester's insistence on going to Semper, her logical arguments, and the materials she had presented. 'Does she really intend to stay…
