When Florian's party arrived at Moorfield, the horses were completely exhausted. Dain and the coachman Ryle had caught up later, allowing them to travel by carriage part of the way, but Florian eventually got out of the carriage and rode ahead on horseback with just one hand. His mind was consumed with the thought of meeting Clarence and conveying his true feelings. The thought of leaving her alone in that empty room on that rainy night when they confirmed their feelings for each other was driving…-

"Jensen!" A red stain on the butler's clothes grew like a flower, and Jensen slid down to the floor. While some servants rushed to the fallen butler, turning him over and examining his wound, Florian ran to Griffin, who was wrestling with Dain. He kicked the hunting rifle on the floor, sending it flying far away. "Let go! You bastards! How dare you lay hands on me! I am the Count. I am Count Harford!" Griffin, who had pushed Dain away and stood up, was taller and bigger than anyone there,…

The silence suggested Griffin had left. He certainly hadn't gone to fetch help, but had probably abandoned him, assuming he would fall on his own. So he shouldn't harbor false hope. He couldn't expect any help to resolve this situation. Florian firmly gripped the branch with his functioning left hand and prepared himself mentally. Then he lowered his body along with the gradually sinking branches, supporting himself while holding the branch with just one hand. Fortunately, the bundle of…

After Marina and the maids left, I stood by the window for a long time, looking at the gradually darkening sky. I really enjoyed these quiet moments alone. By now, I had shed all resentment and hatred toward Rian. What happened was a tragedy caused by an unavoidable accident, and in the end, we both found what we wanted, so all turned out well. Anyway, I changed the fate written in that diary. Though June has long passed, I'm still alive like this, and I've protected my castle and territory…

"There's no problem between us." Florian spoke lightly to the worried-looking Jensen. "We're simply respecting each other's domains. It might seem strange, but she's a proper Baron with her own title, so this is for the best." "I'm sure you're right. I apologize for speaking out of turn." Jensen bowed his head. "No, thank you for your concern." Florian replied gently. Jensen glanced at the Count, then bowed with a "Rest well" before withdrawing. The Count who had returned after a…

The envelope was completely empty. At first, her letters had seemed perfunctory, but they gradually grew longer, and reading them once or twice a week became enjoyable. It was also nice to share our innermost thoughts and discuss various concerns. But in this letter, after going on and on about that well-built fellow, she suddenly cut it off. Who said I had no interest? What an unusual personality, really. Here I am, unable to sleep as I prepare for our wedding ceremony scheduled for…

[Dear Clarence, I've safely arrived in Highcross. After passing Moorfield, a sudden downpour lasted for two days, delaying my schedule as I was stranded. By the time this letter reaches you, summer will likely be half over. Our marriage registration should be completed by then. I took care of it immediately upon arrival here. I'll send the relevant certificates in my next letter for your confirmation. Rest assured that I'll make perfect preparations for our wedding ceremony in…

"You're welcome. Between us, this is nothing. Don't be too embarrassed. Snakes are certainly frightening creatures." Yes, I was wondering why he wasn't teasing me about this situation. I heard Rian turn off the lamp and lift the blanket on the opposite side of the bed, chuckling to himself as he got in. I immediately regretted not having endured a bit longer. But the bed was so enormous that he remained far away, and the faint scent of sage and musk wafting through the darkness calmed my mind, so…

The woman who had become his wife was truly transparent as glass. Her face immediately revealed her feelings whenever she was even slightly upset. Nevertheless, it was somewhat endearing to see her trying so hard to hide her true thoughts. Not that it did much good. Florian moved closer and began unfastening the small buttons one by one. Meanwhile, Clarence gathered her long, wavy hair that flowed down to her waist and held it up high on her head. This revealed her long, white…

The two massive doors looked exceptionally tall and majestic. The pale green doors trimmed with gold were intricately carved with the Philoraine family crest, roses, sun, and vines. I hadn't noticed when passing by, but now standing directly in front of them, they seemed too ornate and flashy, making me feel quite uncomfortable. Moreover, the six pairs of eyes sparkling behind us made me nervous about moving even a finger. "Here we are." While everyone was tensely staring at the door, Cory…
