Count Ferga's brow furrowed as he observed his nephew's unfamiliar expression. "You can't possibly......" Contrary to his hopes, Eli truly seemed to have taken a liking to Edelle Michelin. Enough to gift her his mother's jewelry. Count Ferga carefully chose his words. "I don't know if you're aware, but that young lady is surrounded by rumors. She hasn't even properly had her debutante ball." "......" "Since you've brought her here, things will only get noisier from now on." It would…-

Today was the first time Edelle Michelin had properly shown herself in high society. Every noble in the Empire must attend the Foundation Day ball hosted by the imperial family in the year they turn eight, and from that time gradually begin their social activities. However, Edelle Michelin had never appeared at any banquet, ball, or even a simple tea party since that day. Still, rumors about her were abundant. Various stories circulated, from being the person who elevated a carriage company to a…

Anton wasn't the only one staring in disbelief at his clean plate. All four siblings of the Atwood marquis family seated at the same table wore identical expressions. With each bite of the bacon—crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside—a subtle sweet apple flavor spread throughout their mouths. Cole, the third son of the Atwood family sitting across from Anton, began making a fuss as soon as he swallowed his bacon. "This is amazing! Bacon that tastes like apple!" "Cole, your voice is…

The previous Grand Duke Norton died twenty years ago fighting monsters. There wasn't an imperial citizen who didn't know about his sudden death, leaving behind a sickly wife and young son. Edelle felt particularly saddened by this incident. She had often heard her mother, Cecilia Michelin, who had been friends with the late Grand Duchess, lament about it. 'If Erickson had lived, Valentina could have lived longer too.' The fact that the Grand Duchess had also died from illness about ten years ago…

A few days later, on the day of the Grand Duke’s party. Edelle visited the grand ducal residence much earlier than the party's start time, arriving early in the morning. She immediately followed the grand ducal butler to the kitchen to check if preparations were proceeding well. "Miss, am I really allowed to cook here?" Gale whispered nervously. Despite his build suggesting he could take down a cow with his bare hands, he was quite timid. Edelle looked at him with exasperation and…

As the sunset began to color the sky, Edelle returned to the Count's residence in the Grand Duke's carriage. Butler Reynolds, who had tensed upon spotting the grand ducal crest engraved on the large carriage, welcomed Edelle as she disembarked alone. "Welcome back, Miss." "Yes, what's for dinner?" "It's being prepared. Gale says he'll make a noodle dish with the perilla oil he pressed today, along with the meatballs prepared this morning." "Perilla oil sounds amazing!" Edelle beamed,…

"Well done!" "What do you know." Edelle grumbled at her brother Durant, who always praised her first before anything else. The siblings were on their way to Jo's Sandwich Shop. They were going to hang a new sign engraved with the ribbon. Durant, who had heard about what happened in the reception room a few days ago, grinned while carrying the new sign under his arm. "Why wouldn't I know? You're feeling regretful right now, Eddie. You rejected the offer, but you still have lingering…

'Why does he have to be so handsome......' Edelle was feeling the insurmountable wall of his appearance, as imposing as his high rank, when the moment was interrupted. "Forgive my late introduction. I am Monty Swift, in service to His Highness the Grand Duke. His Highness merely wishes to ask for an explanation of what situation occurred and what you experienced. Isn't that right, Your Highness?" Monty cleared his throat and gave the Grand Duke a meaningful look. It was a signal to cooperate so…

"But that would make things annoying for me." Edelle, who had been sullen the entire journey back from the convent to the mansion, suddenly blurted out her complaint. Liam couldn't immediately understand her words and gave her a puzzled expression. "Pardon?" "If I reveal that I'm the one hanging ribbons, people will target me instead of the ribbons." "Are you planning to reveal that you're the one hanging the ribbons, Miss?" Liam's eyes widened. He was surprised because just a few days ago,…

Bread with a crispy exterior and moist interior, freshly baked in the morning. The hollowed-out center filled with sautéed onions and meat. "Finally......" Edelle swallowed hard. The aroma of sautéed onions rising from the sandwich in her hand made her feel dizzy. Finally, the people of Fonete were putting cooked meat instead of cold ham between bread. And even sautéing onions with it! "I can't resist onions sautéed in meat drippings." Edelle quickly took a large bite of the…
