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?

— The couple left the mansion after finishing their meal in a warm atmosphere, sent off by the Marquis's family. They had been invited for lunch, but by the time they boarded their carriage, the sun was already hanging low. "His Majesty's health seems quite poor. He needs to hold on until the Crown Prince's wedding." Ellin was expressing concern about the King's health when her words suddenly stopped. An awkward silence briefly filled the carriage. "Shall we walk for a while? I have…-

— The Baron and Baroness Nilson, who returned home from the party, had a fierce argument. "What were you thinking, bringing in such a man as your cousin? How much do you want to drag down our family's honor?" Even the Baron, who usually avoided confrontation and rarely raised his voice, couldn't contain his anger today. "Family honor? Who saved your poor ass when you had nothing but a mere title?" Rosana didn't back down either. "Do you think you'd be living like this now if it weren't…

While Paige followed the butler across the hall toward the back garden, Dominic and Higgins came down the stairs. The two men curiously watched Jeffrey walking with a young lady. "It seems the Madam has…

— Melissa, returning from shopping in the afternoon, stepped out of the carriage with a very displeased face. "This is truly absurd, really." Seeing the old duchess enter with an angry expression, Ellin asked with concerned eyes. "Did something unpleasant happen outside?" At Ellin's words, Melissa stopped walking and turned to her. When Ellin looked at her in surprise, she stared intently for a moment before asking directly. "Is it true? That rumor." Only then did Ellin understand…

— Dominic forcibly removed Casey's arms wrapped around his waist. "Don't ever try this again, Casey Milton." Dominic turned to look at her with an icier gaze than ever before. "I'm not the same person I was when you left." "You don't even love that woman! You married her out of spite because of me, didn't you? I heard it's a loveless marriage. Isn't that true?" Dominic looked at Casey as if he found her absurd. "What are you talking about?" Despite his unpleasant expression, Casey…

— A carriage was racing through the main market street. It was Janice's carriage, who was furious because Royce hadn't come home for days. 'I should go shopping. Otherwise, I might go crazy.' She intended to release her explosive feelings by spending money. When she entered her usual jewelry store, she saw a few familiar faces. 'What are they talking about?' Unlike usual, they were whispering without noticing her entrance, which sparked her curiosity. "Elza?" When she called…

— 'Is she sick? She doesn't look well.' Though he tried not to care, his attention and concern kept turning toward Ellin. She had seemed normal until yesterday, but something felt off about her mood since their carriage ride home. 'Could it be?' While he was with the Crown Prince, the women had walked in the garden. Did Casey say something to her then? He shook his head slightly. Casey Milton might be cruel, but she wasn't that foolish. She knew better than anyone that the…

— "Nothing unusual happened?" When the Duke handed over his hat, Jeffrey accepted it respectfully and answered. "Yes. The young master from the Milton family just left." Dominic stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Jeffrey. "The Milton family?" A dark light flashed in his eyes. "Yes. He met with the old duchess and left shortly after." 'He came to see Mother?' A young nobleman who monopolized the affection of ladies from young misses to gray-haired noble women, and a…

— "What's wrong with your face?" Casey turned to find Eric had somehow approached right beside her. "What's wrong with my face?" Unlike her demeanor in front of others, Casey snapped coldly and briefly. "You look like someone whose favorite doll was taken by someone else. I can see you're trying to manage your expression while being extremely angry." Casey glared at her blood relative who could see not only her beautiful exterior but also her ugly interior. "It's because of that…
