At the banquet hall where Marian and Helena had not yet returned… After a long time of maintaining his sanity, good news arrived for Cesare. "Vanessa? Is that true?" Cesare asked in a lowered voice. The servant who came with the errand bowed his head. The truth wasn't something the servant could know. He had only heard the message from the coachman who came from Count Yulian's estate. "What's the matter, Cesare." "......It's nothing." Cesare smiled brightly. Benjamin wore a puzzled…-

She felt déjà vu. This repertoire of being thoroughly exhausted, receiving a goodbye kiss in a dazed state, and then being delivered back to the count's mansion felt extremely familiar. And if things went well, this might not even be the end. Eurene entered her room with mixed feelings, unsure whether she felt good or bad. Usually, even if she occasionally felt a bit guilty, she would feel pleasantly languid after meeting Van, but today was completely different. Probably because she had seen so…-

How did it come to this? Eurene thought blankly. The incident began three hours earlier when she received a familiar tea time invitation. After sleeping in until noon and rubbing her disheveled hair while coming downstairs for breakfast, the butler suddenly presented her with a sealed letter. Shuddering at the strange sense of déjà vu, she took the letter and opened it. Then she gasped in surprise. To Miss Eurene Eifel I would like to enjoy good tea while chatting together. Would…

— Rumble, crash! Thunder and lightning came with the downpour. Dominic, who had ridden through the pitch-black night in the rain, quickly dismounted when he reached the mansion's entrance. Due to his sudden late-night arrival, there was no one waiting outside for him. "Oh! Your Grace!" When he entered the corridor completely soaked, the servants and butler who finally saw him were startled, looking as though they had seen a ghost. "Is my mother alright?" As he removed his wet…-

— "My goodness. Look who's here. The duchess has arrived!" Rosana's affected voice made everyone in the living room turn toward the entrance. Marie, who happened to be carrying tea, nearly dropped her tray in surprise when she saw the person who had just entered. 'Miss Ellin?!' Wearing a form-fitting dark purple dress and a hat adorned with flowers and feathers, she embodied the very essence of a noble lady. She was no longer the provincial young lady in a faded floral dress with her…

— The duke's mansion was deathly quiet in the evening, in stark contrast to the splendid wedding ceremony held during the day. The atmosphere had settled so calmly that it was hard to believe today had been a wedding day. Jeffrey asked Higgins, who had walked down the long corridor. "Is he still in the study?" "Yes. Just like always." When Higgins shrugged his shoulders while looking back at the study, Jeffrey made a slightly troubled face. No matter how he thought about it, this…

— At that time, another carriage was heading toward the duke's residence. The two carriages passed each other at the straight entrance to the duke's mansion. Ellin, looking out the window, made eye contact with the owner of the passing carriage. "Ah......" The person wearing a pretty hat adorned with flowers and jewels was Silvia. Unlike Ellin's surprised expression, Silvia's face was very dark. Her eyelids were red and swollen, perhaps from crying. Silvia's expression upon seeing…

— "What are you thinking about so deeply?" She had been lost in her thoughts so deeply that she didn't notice the duke looking at her with curious eyes. "Oh, nothing. If we have that...... wedding ceremony, would it be alright to invite my great-aunt who lives in Castia?" Ellin asked carefully, not knowing yet how this contract marriage would proceed. She couldn't even tell if they would hold a formal wedding ceremony in front of people. Dominic answered with a bland smile, seemingly…

— Only then did Jeffrey feign surprise and respectfully bow. "I'll escort you right away, Miss Ellin. Please follow me." He politely ushered her inside, ashamed of his frivolity in comparing her to the count's daughter based solely on appearance. 'The atmosphere is different today too.' Ellin carefully stepped inside and took a small, nervous breath. The hall that had been splendid yesterday now felt like a solemn museum. "This way. Please watch your step." Jeffrey observed her…

— The baron and Baroness of Nilson could not hide their joy as they held the invitation from the duke in both hands. "Honey, it seems our family is finally getting the recognition it deserves." "I never thought the duke would extend his consideration to us. We should be grateful." "If your business goes well now, we'll be able to live in the capital without feeling inferior. Our Janice has already married into an excellent family, now if only Ellin......" Rosana, who had been firing words…
