The carriage carrying Estelle passed through the massive castle gates and rushed toward the plaza. Perhaps because it was a luxurious and sturdy carriage, there was no shaking inside even when traveling over uneven roads. Estelle rested her arm on the window and propped her chin with a comfortable expression. The leisurely passing scenery was incredibly peaceful. Jeff, who had been anxiously watching her in the uncomfortable silence, finally spoke up. "I... I heard you were injured. Are you…-

The brown horse galloping down the gloomy slope foamed at the mouth and drooled, perhaps from having traveled a long distance. As the sky darkened, Jeff urged on his tired horse while trying to soothe it. He had no time to enjoy the scenery of the setting sun at leisure. This place, without a single hint of life-sprouting color, was the Black Forest. Its formal name was Schutzwald Forest, but due to its eerie darkness covered in pitch black, it was commonly known as the Black Forest. Jeff couldn't…

「The goddess's anger, which had persisted for hundreds of years, has finally subsided, and she has bestowed her blessing upon the Empire!」 This news struck throughout the Empire, literally turning the country upside down. The situation was so significant that even the Guardians, the regional emperors who rarely showed themselves, began appearing one after another in the capital. "I will return after hearing just a few answers from the saintess." Caesar's heavy voice echoed through the imperial…

There were noble ladies gathered at an outdoor table, chatting with smiles on their faces. They were all wearing expensive dresses, each worth enough to easily buy a mansion, flaunting their vanity and bursting into giggles. A woman who had been making arrogant chin gestures to the maid serving her looked at Maria's neck and asked. "Maria, the necklace you're wearing is so pretty... is it new?" Maria smiled shyly, stroked the blue pendant with her hand, and answered. "Yes. It's specially…

Estelle, who had been massacring the sweet chiffon cake on her tray with a fork, let out a deep sigh. 'I should have told him yesterday... I was too flustered... damn it.' She mentally rehearsed the words she had practiced beforehand. 'Your Highness, my family is about to be thrown out on the street. My mother is ill, and I have nowhere else to turn... My father spent money because of me...... Ah, is that explanation too detailed... Maybe something more concise would be better. Considering his…

Estelle walked while watching butterflies flying gracefully as if swimming between flowers. Wearing an outdated lavender muslin dress, she felt shabby compared to the splendid imperial palace garden. The dress she wore was one that had been left behind in the closet, perhaps abandoned by a previous guest. The length that covered her hands and the loose fit made it obvious to anyone that it wasn't her own. 'I should have asked Father to bring my belongings first... I wonder if Laura will be thoughtful…

How long does it take to fall in love? It usually takes a surprisingly long time to discover one person among many and develop deepening feelings, but for Estelle, it took only 1 second. She swears to God it might have been even shorter than that. The moment he walked in is still vivid before her eyes. His brilliant hair, infused with sunlight, blurred her vision, and the smile on the man's lips was so sweet that Estelle's limbs tingled with excitement. On the day she first visited the imperial…

"Close... the door." You stupid fool. Why did you come in with the study door wide open like that? Luke, whose head was still foggy and couldn't properly string words together, was inwardly cursing Max's foolishness. He barely managed to get up from the wet floor with support. He immediately sat back down and held his head in his hands. Even the slightest movement of his head made him dizzy and throbbing as if he would vomit. He barely managed to order Max, who was closing the door. "Make…-

The next day, Leon happily paid double the fee to the Alpen Kingdom informant and received information. He provided detailed information about the mansion where Robet Cameron was staying.

The carriage carrying Luke was racing at full speed. He was heading to Marquis Wilmoare's residence, which was closest to the port. He was one of the fellow investors. When Count Hugo had previously come to Luke to propose additional investment, he had sought him out first before Marquis Wilmoare, despite the Marquis being closest to the port where the ship had docked. He had said if Luke refused, he would go to Marquis Wilmoare next, which meant he had prioritized Luke over the Marquis. After that,…
