Even after several days, no letter arrived. For a day or two, she thought the carrier pigeons needed time, but as a week was nearly up, her nerves were on edge whenever a servant entered. "My lady, the repairs to the quarters are almost complete. Some furniture was old, so the Internal Affairs Department has agreed to provide new pieces." Seeing the head chamberlain's empty hands without a letter again today, Elia nodded. She felt deflated, thinking the few words she had courageously written seemed…-

Victor carefully buttoned the gold buttons on Rockfort's shirt. Marienne stood beside him, displaying several boxes containing cufflinks. "The second box." "Yes." Rockfort's gaze shifted to the row of cufflinks. Usually quick to decide, today he was unusually particular, starting from the shirt selection. "Remove the first row." "Yes." "That one, that one, and...... that one too." His long fingers pointed at each decoration in the box. Then his finger hovered in the air above the box…

Once the fire was lit, Rockfort tore off his ceremonial robe and shirt roughly and impatiently, not even noticing that the buttons were being ripped off. Seeing Rockfort half-naked in an instant, Elia unconsciously bit her lip tightly. "I told you that would have the opposite effect." Her head felt foggy, making his voice seem distant. Only his hot tongue boldly exploring her mouth and the heat between them felt vivid. But today they wouldn't stop here. As if both their instincts knew this…

Many things had happened since Lorendis returned. First, he discovered the fact that she was terminally ill. So Dennis was tearfully bringing his disciple to find an antidote. Second, she had an audience with Tessler in the capital. He seemed to disapprove of Catherine, but for now, he appeared to be leaving her alone. Third, Lorendis was by her side. This was the biggest change. Lorendis, who had been absent for a long time, was now guarding Catherine's side. "His Grace will escort you to the…-

Lorendis straightened his uniform and stood up, while Tessler recalled increasingly fading memories. "You look exactly like the former duke." "He was Your Majesty's brother." "I still remember that stubborn head of his. Such a foolish man who wandered battlefields without valuing his life until he went missing." Tessler leaned back crookedly and ordered him to leave. A stiff and upright bloodline that might never bow its head, foolishly rushing into danger. That was Helen. "Have you still…

Catherine had a faint impression. Until now, she had only thought about leaving this place, and with a strong sense that everything was borrowed, she had maintained only minimal dignity. Now, after a long time, life returned to her. Nancy finished the preparations busily and smiled with satisfaction. Catherine was also somewhat surprised by her vibrant vitality. "How does it look?" "I like it." Today she chose a dress in a deep red color. It was adorned with elaborate lace that exposed the…

Morning had dawned, but the medical wing was still filled with dim darkness. Dr. Dennis fell into serious contemplation. It had been days since he wept bitterly with a gloomy heart after giving the lady a terminal diagnosis. 'What is this?' Dr. Dennis greeted the mistress every morning and collected a few drops of blood. That was his daily routine, and it would continue every morning until the lady received a clean bill of health. "Master, what seems strange?" "You fool! Didn't I tell you…

Dr. Dennis was still staying in the medical wing, and fortunately, even by the next day, he had not reached a conclusion. "My lady, I apologize. Since I'm conducting this examination alone, it's taking more time." Dennis, who had promised to deliver results quickly, remained quiet for several days, and Catherine briefly let her guard down. Several days passed. Well, it took Dr. James a week to produce results too. Perhaps this would be similar. "Oh...... I made a mistake." That day was…

Lorendis looked up at the sky where snowflakes were falling. Today, the snowfall was particularly rough. A white storm arose, and a snow field spread out before his eyes. "The weather isn't cooperating today." "Helen has always been like this." Lorendis brushed off his silver armor. The armor shone nobly even in the blizzard. Helen's flag waved solemnly within it. "We'll delay the schedule. It's difficult to push through this blizzard." "No. We'll move up the schedule." Lorendis gazed at…

Catherine stayed in bed all day, just sleeping. Drowsiness lulled her head into a pleasant daze, and her mood sank into tranquility. "His Grace...... seems to have kept her up all night." "She was completely worn out last night. Miss Nancy, please try speaking to the lady. It's difficult to approach her right now." Catherine smiled awkwardly. They find me difficult to approach? Am I difficult? Catherine didn't have a particularly difficult personality. She was simply lethargic about life. All…
