"Do you like the name Olive?" Olivia's hand, which was crushing red berries, froze momentarily. As she quietly raised her head, she saw the boy Kale sitting in a chair waiting for medicine, looking at her with sparkling eyes. Thinking 'He must be at a curious age,' in response to the innocent question from Kale, who appeared about fourteen years younger than herself, Olivia tilted her head.

These days, whenever two or more people gathered at Elmano Castle, there was one topic they whispered about. It was about a certain woman Sir Worklan was desperately searching for. Marie was acutely realizing how quickly rumors spread, how greatly they inflated, and how absurdly far-fetched they could become. She couldn't avoid hearing this talk since it was everywhere, and while pretending to listen, she found the stories completely false except for the "woman" part, yet she couldn't step forward…

The carriage that departed from Castle Elmano in the dark dawn before sunrise finally stopped in front of a small mansion on the outskirts of the capital as the sun was beginning to set. Marie, stepping down from the carriage, was wearing an old, plain dress she already owned rather than the new dress Lariella had given her. The dark ash-colored dress with buttons densely lining up to the neck was very similar in design to the maid's uniform she usually wore. In truth, while Marie was thoroughly…

Dawn broke. Catherine rubbed her stiff eyelids while fumbling around the bed. Her hand met a familiar warmth. He hadn't let go of her until late, and Catherine had cried over and over again. Despite his seemingly indifferent personality, Lorendis was relentless. That relentless nature shone in his eyes, resembling a beast's gaze directed at her. 'This persistent personality is something I didn't expect......' Lorendis slowly opened his eyes. His coolly subdued pupils pierced her precisely. Catherine…

Elena rose while hugging the blanket and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand. She had just woken up to find Rudfelix, who should have been beside her, missing. "Alix?" Elena’s voice, heavy with sleep, called out for Rudfelix. "Sleep more." Elena squinted at the sound of his voice coming from nearby and looked around. 'This was the carriage.' That's why Rudfelix was close by. She had fallen into a deep sleep, perhaps overwhelmed by accepting him, despite being in a carriage. Even…-
