"Where are the turnips? The carrots? The onions? Where are all those things?" Ah...... so that's what I should have bought. But nothing came to mind when I was there. I was just drooling over the delicious smell of meat, the sweet aroma of that apple whatever dessert, and the scent of bread. And the caviar that brought back old memories. 'This just came in yesterday, madam. It's a delicacy that only nobles eat in the city, but I brought some. If you serve just a little when hosting guests,…-

Startled, he turned around to see a man with a bushy beard smiling at him. Though clearly an unfamiliar face, the man patted his arm familiarly. "Ah! It is you! It is! That guest! It's hard to forget such a handsome face." "Pardon?" "Well, you paid a week's rent in advance and then disappeared after just one day with no word! I was wondering what you were up to! You left your horse and luggage at our inn and vanished—how worried we were!" "Me...... you mean?" "Ho! A young man like you…

"......Purple." "Hm?" "Your eyes...... they're purple." Rian's muttered voice was slightly hoarse. We both remained motionless. Just staring blankly at each other. In that moment, I truly couldn't think of anything. Looking slightly upward, all I could see were blue eyes the same color as Clairfield's blue sky, and lips so high I would need to stand on tiptoe to reach them. I was firmly trapped in his arms. Just like when we first met. Being small in both height and build,…

Standing at the top of the tower with fierce winds blowing, looking down at the dizzying depths below, my body trembled. But there was no time to hesitate. I needed to quickly carry out my decision before McNally returned. I should also forget about the ancient diary written by someone from the past I didn't even know. But the words that man supposedly said kept circling in my mind. The suspicious man who suddenly appeared before Clarence one day and insisted this castle belonged to…

"What?" McNally clearly thought I was a crazy woman. "You must not know, but this place has been abandoned for over ten years. There's not even electricity!" "There aren't any ghosts, are there?" "How would I know!" "Well, it doesn't matter." When a person is about to die, they stop being afraid. With one foot already in the afterlife, if I meet a ghost, I'll just ask them to tell me about the other world. "She's insane! Truly mad!" McNally muttered. "The moment she entered…

56 hours earlier, Seoul. "......This is all." Attorney Hwang placed a small envelope on the desk as he spoke. "Just this one thing?" "......Yes." Attorney Hwang had called me to his office a week after my father's funeral. The shares of Myeongseong Group were divided between the main house madam and her children, and the affiliated companies were also meticulously split up. Land and various real estate properties, as well as assets scattered overseas, all went to the remaining three…

"Ah, wait a moment!" In an instant, the world spun around and my body flipped over. Huk, huk, huk. Unfamiliar hot breath scattered my hair, but I couldn't move a finger. Both my wrists were firmly gripped. And those thighs straddling and pressing down on me. I was trapped beneath a sleek, firm body, unable to even struggle. What the hell is wrong with this crazy guy! "Huk! Huk!" Hot drops of sweat rolled down the man's bare chest, dripping onto my forehead. "L...... let go of…

Pfft! I almost laughed out loud. Of course that's impossible. How on earth would I know someone from 130 years ago? Just admit you're curious. Looking up close at this man with legs so long they barely fit on the bed, and a body that, though roughly wrapped in a blanket, was clearly solid and impressive, I couldn't help but wonder about his face too. No, no, it's not like that. This is someone who collapsed half-naked in my castle's pond, so I'm just trying to identify him. I'm not some…

"Seeing everyone so busy makes me feel rushed. I'll quickly eat something and come back to help. Please wait just a bit." "Oh no, Miss. The accumulated dust everywhere is no joke. We'll handle this work, you should just rest..." As Hubert was speaking kindly, "Yes, we're terribly short-handed right now, so please hurry back." Rian cut in spitefully. I felt pathetic for having had shy thoughts about our little secret. "Fine! I said fine!" I grumbled as I turned and walked toward the…

"What? No...... well, I mean......" The woman's face, which had been filled with anger as she shouted with her hand on her hip, gradually softened. I could see her mind working hard, considering what I had just said. "It must be incredibly difficult to manage a household alone. I'm saying I'll recognize you as the head of the family. You're probably already managing the farmland in place of your absent husband, but if I properly guarantee your rights in a document, you can feel secure even if…
