If he were to strangle someone with the grip strength it took to crush a candelabra with his bare hands, they would die instantly. She realized now that when he had grabbed her by the throat as a warning before, he must have been consciously loosening his grip. It must have been a difficult task for him to even control it to that extent. Delia realized only now how ‘kindly’ Kaiel had treated her all along. After all, considering their first encounter, it wouldn’t have been strange if she had…-

Just as Niol was about to rise from his seat, Delia quickly stood up and obediently followed Kaiel’s command. Kaiel grabbed her hand and quickly led her out of the conference room. Delia hurriedly followed behind him, and as soon as she saw the door close behind them, she burst out. “Kaiel......! Why, why! Why did you drag me out like that?! We have to finish the negotiations! Do you know how important this is?!” Kaiel frowned. “Important?” “Yes!” He glanced back at…

Delia, unable to sleep a wink all night due to the questions swirling in her head, immediately sought out the maids and servants as soon as morning came. As expected, several servants came forward, claiming to have witnessed the fight between the Crown Prince and the Grand Duke. “The training hall?” What surprised Delia, as she listened to their stories, was that Kaiel had headed straight for the training hall after leaving the annex, not the Empress’s Palace. The training hall was located…

CH 7 Even after being led out of the office by the servant’s hand, Delia couldn’t come to her senses. ‘Don’t worry? Shouldn’t you be the one worried, Kaiel?’ Just in case, she waited for the system’s notification that he was enraged, but the system was also silent. He hadn’t felt a shred of anger, not even for a moment. It was she who was struggling and trembling the whole time she was trying to poison him, while he remained perfectly calm. The more she organized her…

Heavy rain poured down on Sheriton since early morning. The servants’ loud voices pierced through the clamorous sound of the rain. “Miss!” “Miss! Please come out!” “Aren’t you going to have breakfast?” It was incredibly noisy in front of Delia’s bedroom as the servants called out to her at the top of their lungs. One of the maids sighed with a worried look on her face. “What’s wrong with Miss……. She was fine until yesterday.” “Well, actually,…

A short while later, Delia arrived at the bridge located on the long corridor of the villa. From there, she had a clear view of the scenery below, including the people passing by. If anyone were to ask why she was walking around with a random flowerpot, there was only one reason. A new way to eliminate Kaiel Ceder. Soon, a long shadow stretched out from the end of the corridor. Delia extended both arms, clutching the flowerpot, over the railing. Kaiel emerged from the end of…

Delia clasped her trembling hands together and stood inside Kaiel’s bedroom. The dagger, secured near her waist, poked her side, reminding her of its presence. Her heart pounded in her chest from the tension. Thinking about it now, poisoning his tea and bringing it to him wasn’t that difficult of a task. It was just that she had messed that up and wasted a precious opportunity. As Delia held her breath, she could hear Kaiel’s low, steady breathing in the silent air. It was frustrating to…

She was running out of creative and diverse methods. In fact, she had just returned from another attempt. For the past few days, she had been roaming the capital at dawn, acquiring a deadly poison from a hunter and applying it to a needle, which she then stuck into Kaiel’s bed. If this failed, she had no other ideas. Moreover, the burning determination to kill him that had fueled her for the past week was fading, replaced by a creeping sense of avoidance and emptiness. ‘I…

Realizing this, Delia reflexively grabbed whatever she could get her hands on. She thought it would be his collar or arm, but what met her fingertips was none other than his hard Adam’s apple. Startled by the unfamiliar sensation, Delia quickly withdrew her hand. “I didn’t know you were going to strangle me.” Kaiel looked down at Delia quietly. There was a hint of amusement in his voice, but Delia was in no state to notice. “How did it feel?” Delia lifted her head at the…

Meanwhile, Delia planned to enjoy some peace and quiet now that the aftermath of her failed assassination attempt had subsided. As she brushed Delia’s long hair, the maid told her about what had happened while she was ill. “His Highness the Crown Prince and Her Highness the Princess have been taking turns visiting you. Oh my, they’re both so beautiful…! It’s breathtaking every time I see them.” “What about Kaiel?” “As expected, the Grand Duke is always on your…
