— A luxurious mansion resembling a palace. Melissa Linderto was reading a newspaper in front of the softly burning fireplace. After folding the newspaper and her glasses and placing them on the table, she stared intently at the small velvet box beside them. When she opened the box, a tulip-shaped brooch decorated with rubies and emeralds was revealed. The jewel passed down through generations of Linderto women shone brilliantly as if new, despite being hundreds of years old. Next to the…-

— If there was a place where every view made a perfect picture, it was here. Napas Harbor. White ships swaying with the wind next to the blue sea, streets lined with cafes. The fish markets stretching on both sides overflowed with liveliness from the people. Passing through that vibrant street, Ellin entered a shop. When she opened the door, a small bell rang with a cheerful sound. "Hello, mister. Has what I ordered before arrived?" When Ellin entered the shop with a bright face,…

— "Is that what you came to say?" Jonathan paused as if choosing his words, then spoke again. "Of course, I guessed wrong. I'd like to apologize to her for that. She was a deep and wise woman, so she quietly left you. That's a thing I’m grateful for, but it doesn't mean I want you two to reconcile." Dominic gave a twisted smile after hearing the Crown Prince's words. He leaned back completely on the sofa and tilted his head back. He weakly said, bringing his arm to his forehead as if…

— "Perhaps you had a plan all along? Maybe you deliberately said those things to make me anxious. If that's the case, you're quite an impressive woman." Ellin couldn't believe what she was hearing. She was so stunned that words failed her. "......" The Duke treated her like a wicked woman who had deliberately approached him and married him. She couldn't tell the difference between what he thought of her and what people were saying about her stepmother Rosana. No, hearing these words…

— Dominic loosened his cravat with a tired face. "I'm glad the negotiations ended well. I thought they would drag on much longer." Even the villagers who had strongly opposed the railway somehow accepted the proposal willingly, having heard something from somewhere. They probably overheard plans to develop a massive resort facility for nobles along with mine development when the railway was laid in this region. Of course, it was the Linderto side that leaked that information. It was…

— 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…

— The next day, as soon as dawn broke, Paige visited the Duke's mansion. "I am Paige Hiddleton. I've come to see the Duchess." Paige shrank back upon seeing the tall, stern-looking butler. "I've already been informed that the Madam's friend would be visiting. Please follow me." 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…
