Meanwhile, Yuelina, who knew nothing, sat at the end seat with Maelyn. Emily, firmly suppressing her anger, gestured to the maid waiting behind. Soon after, the maid began filling the teacups with hot tea. "Your Highness the Grand Duchess. Thank you for accepting our invitation." "Not at all, Lady Emily. The honor is mine." "I heard this is your first social gathering?" "Yes, that's right." Emily smirked. "Hmm. I wonder why? That means you've never received an invitation,…-

Giselle, who had lost her magic stones and had to return a large sum of money to the principality, clung to Emily and shed tears. Giselle told Emily that the Grand Duchess harbored malicious intentions and drove a wedge between Theo and her husband. She had been such a kind friend. But overnight, their fortunes began to decline. Just because the noble men had said a few words to the Grand Duchess. She could only believe, as Giselle said, that the Grand Duchess must have intervened. Perhaps it…

"Raye... how do you roll it so well?" "Your Highness the Grand Duchess does it better." "No, Raye, I think you have a natural talent." Unlike Maelyn and Yuelina whose dough had uneven thickness, Raye's pie dough boasted a consistent thickness. Her fingertips had become sensitive from sword training since childhood. She couldn't be careless even with rolling out pie dough. Hans was also impressed with Raye's pie dough. If she hadn't been Yuelina's dedicated maid, he might have taken her…

"Flower bouquets over there! Over there!" "Wait. Why are you taking the roast inside? It should be in the outdoor banquet hall!" "Everyone hanging decorations come here!" The Duke's mansion bustled with activity before an important event. Tina and Nelie's father, who arrived early at Tevant for wedding preparations, surveyed their surroundings with overwhelmed eyes. "Wow." "This is really......" To those who had lived in the countryside all their lives and only recently settled in a small…-

"Damn it, damn it all!" Crash! Old fences and flowerpots shattered with a rumble from merciless punches and kicks. Still not venting his anger enough, Benson huffed heavily while thoroughly drunk. Villagers who saw this passed by fearfully avoiding him. Their eyes held traces of 'here he goes again.' Noticing that, Benson threw whatever he could grab at the passersby. "What are you looking at! Huh?" "Eek!" A passerby who suffered the misfortune of getting hit by the flying stone hurriedly…

Elroy emerged from the platform watching the setting sun. The Tevant family carriage waiting in front of the station slowly approached. It was thanks to the bank branch and villa he had established in the nearby town. 'She was this close all along.' Elroy looked self-deprecatingly at the rural village awaiting development and maintenance. The smoke rising from distant hearths and the quiet atmosphere were incomparably peaceful, unlike the surrounding villages that had already begun development.…

"Annelie!" Nelie straightened her back and waved at Mrs. Mora's shout while passing through the field. After patting her numb back from being bent over for so long, the woman continued with a generous smile. "Come by later and take some rye bread! I made too much and have plenty left!" "Yes! I definitely will!" Nelie nodded with a smile. Villagers passing by greeted her with a word or two. Have a good day, how is your father's health, are you still drawing illustrations...... Nelie answered…

A bird crying at night wailed as if following her sorrowful footsteps. With each step she took, a lingering attachment seemed to grab her ankles, but Nelie never looked back. She felt that if she looked back, she might unconsciously turn her steps toward that place again. To that place where she would have nothing to do but sit alone in a dark room, waiting for the Duke who would be talking with the Princess of Lambert at the party. She didn't want that. The newspaper office she arrived at…

The news reached her while Nelie was busy exploring the newspaper company's new warehouse. "Wow, that's our Duke for you." The director, who seemed to have forgotten that he had published a caricature insulting the Duke in his newspaper, rubbed his hands together while looking at the newly built warehouse. The neatly organized warehouse had shelves and cabinets installed for storage, making it look neither old nor cramped like before. 'So now.' Should she come back here now? Nelie thought…

"Are you really okay, Nelie?" "Huh?" "You seem out of it." When Jerome expressed his concern, Nelie forced a smile. An unfinished illustration still lay before her. "Sorry, Jerome. You even lent me your studio, but... I can't concentrate." "No, about the studio... I've always wanted this." Jerome said that and smiled gently. "I just think... if you had a better studio, you could do so much…
