“I was so worried about you, Miss. And I got scolded by the Grand Duke because of it.” “Scolded?” When she asked what he was scolded for, he vaguely replied that she should take better care of herself. She had no idea why everyone was being so secretive. What the…! But she could always ask Lisa to find out. Delia chuckled softly to herself. She had experienced being a female protagonist, rested on Kaiel’s lap, and gained a lot of plausibility points. It was all a win for…-

CH 1 In the noisy tavern, the innkeeper kept checking the wall clock with her head stretched out. She had been glancing at the clock so much that she had wiped the same glass about five times. People were each having conversations, seemingly all talking about the same subject. “When is she coming? I’m dying of curiosity…!” “Why, who? Who’s coming?” “She’s a regular here, but she’s quite unusual. She knows all sorts of stories. And she’s quite… cute.” “But…

The world inside the novel was vast. Meeting ‘Kaiel Ceder’, who was a Duke of a province, was difficult due to the low status of the body she possessed. All she had was the status of a noble, being the daughter of Baron Averbit, who had bought his title with money as he was originally a merchant. It was impossible to just go and seek out Grand Duke Kaiel Ceder in Tranade. Tranade was a very harsh place to travel to alone, and it was not easy for the daughter of a mere baron to request a…

Naturally, Delia’s gaze swept over Kaiel’s figure from top to bottom. When her gaze, which had taken in even the tips of his shoes, returned to his face, she barely managed to swallow the exclamation that almost escaped her lips. He was beyond what she had imagined. What would he look like? Would he really be as handsome as she imagined? What would his voice sound like? The face she had envisioned countless times whenever she thought of him. That perfect face was now standing right in front…

However, the people who had just started their conversation did not stop their relentless chatter. “Well, with such behavior, it wouldn't be strange if he had a handsome face, right?” The people had no way of knowing that the subject of their story was right there in the tavern. The real Kaiel in front of them and the rumored Grand Duke of Tranade had nothing in common. The rumored Kaiel was ruthless and cunning, but the ‘real’ one here was rather polite. Considering his attire,…

A rather bold voice was added, as if trying to instill confidence. "I know quite a lot, you see." It was then. Crash! "Kyaaaaaah!" Along with the sound of a glass breaking as it hit the floor from a corner of the tavern, an unexpected scream was heard. The quiet tavern turned into chaos in an instant. "...Kill him!" At the sudden shout, Delia's shoulders visibly shrank in surprise. 'Kill? Who? Here?' As she quickly looked around to assess the situation, her eyes fell on…

“You’re the one who spread rumors about me and recklessly rushed in under the excuse of helping. How do you plan to help?” As Kaiel listed her actions one by one, Delia felt both guilt and embarrassment. But she couldn’t back down. At least, now she had succeeded in engaging Kaiel in conversation. Considering the past six months where she hadn’t seen a trace of him, this was a huge opportunity. Moreover, just talking to her favorite character, Kaiel Ceder, was incredibly enjoyable for…

She couldn’t get an answer. No one had ever made him count to three. No one had the courage to endure until he counted to three. ‘Cute.’ Delia smiled and climbed onto the coachman’s seat, and the coachman politely made room for her. The carriage soon started moving. Winter in Sheriton was quite cold, though not as much as in Tranade. Trees with dry, bare branches lined the sides. As the horses picked up speed, the cold air stung her face. She wondered, how uncomfortable must it be to…

Past the grand castle gates, a wide and well-maintained garden appeared, with a fountain placed between straight rows of cypress trees lining the walkway. It was the Sheriton Palace she had imagined countless times. Delia couldn’t take her eyes off the scenery until the carriage reached the castle gate. Only when she saw Kaiel walking into the palace garden beyond the glass window did Delia stop admiring the scenery and snapped back to reality. She quickly opened the door and jumped out of…

In the novel, the three’s close relationship ended during their childhood. It didn’t last long. Eventually, Kaiel killed Nior after many conflicts. ‘In many ways, it’s a meaningful tree.’ Delia tried to ignore the heaviness in her heart once again. Instead, she looked at the tree more closely. It seemed to have been neglected for quite some time, yet it was full of bright red apples. One particularly ripe apple caught her eye. ‘Hmm.’ Delia glanced around. The tree was in…
