* * * "Your Highness the Grand Duke. Your sudden visit surprised me." Count Eska awkwardly spoke while guiding Theo to the reception room. If Theo had visited a little later, Count Eska would not have been able to greet him due to attending the council meeting. "Would you like some tea?" "Yes." Theo sat on the sofa and looked out the window. It was already late afternoon. The sky was clear and crisp the day after the snow stopped. The sunset looked even more vivid on such a day. The…-

It was the blanket from Yuelina's carriage. Inside the blanket were two steamed potatoes wrapped in paper. The man looked down at Yuelina and spoke. "Cold, isn't it?" "......" "This is how we always live." "......" "That blanket. It's warm, isn't it? Thanks to magic stones, I suppose?" The man crouched down to meet Yuelina's eyes. His eyes glinted eerily. Yuelina was frightened by the man's gaze. The man who had brought her to this unknown place and imprisoned her seemed…

She's being held hostage because of me. "Get the First Knight Order ready, and send one Shadow outside the wall. We need to check if Delkan is involved in any way." "...Understood." "And tell the refugees outside the wall. From this moment on, I'll kill one person every minute." "...Your Highness." "For every minute Yuelina can't come home, I'll tear them all limb from limb." Theo spoke in a low, chilling voice. * * * The Tea-Pie ladies and Letitia all gathered in the reception…

"Your Highness the Grand Duchess! Get away, quickly!" She desperately grabbed the man's arm. However, the man lightly gripped Maelyn's nape. "Maelyn!" Maelyn choked and struggled before passing out. The masked man turned toward Yuelina. Though trembling violently, Yuelina checked Maelyn's complexion. "Now, let's go." The man took out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered Yuelina's mouth. A strong alcohol scent invaded her nose and mouth. Yuelina lost consciousness…

"Should I not go?" "Yes." "Should I just stay here?" "Yes." "But we still have time left to get to know each other, don’t we?" Theo belatedly realized that Yuelina was teasing him. Now she had a hobby of playing with his feelings. Theo moved closer, intertwining his fingers with hers. "Yuna. I have a way." "A way?" "Before the wedding, we just need to get to know each other quickly." Theo covered Yuelina's lips with his own. Yuelina slowly opened her mouth to his…

"Yuelina! How are the wedding preparations going?" "Have you tried on the dress? I heard rumors that it turned out wonderfully!" Yuelina began answering Emily and Mary's questions with excited shoulders. Somehow, as the wedding date drew closer, Yuelina's wedding was becoming everyone's event. * * * Theo brought a bookshelf into the study. This was the first time a bookshelf, not a liquor cabinet, had been brought in. He bought and filled it with all the books that were mentioned at the…

Emily and Mary and their husbands also drew their bodies closer intimately. The music changed to a slower and quieter song. "Then I'll move." Theo first stepped forward with his right foot. His left foot naturally followed. Then to the right, and back to the left. Though awkward, Theo was moving his steps in time with the music. Every time Theo moved, Yuelina's body swayed into his embrace. Her heart fluttered. Of course, Theo's heart was also racing. His small and precious wife was…

"Do you know about the blue wolf?" "Of course I do." "Every man knows about it." Emily and Mary's husbands spoke in unison. Yuelina glanced at Theo. Theo also looked at Yuelina and nodded slightly. "The blue wolf. You can only see them in cold regions." "Yes, that's right, Your Highness the Grand Duke. The blue wolf lives in cold regions, so they can be found in the Phaenyx Principality." Madam Eska added an explanation. The blue wolf. They were wolves that lived in small packs…

The two were guided by the butler to the first-floor reception room. Perhaps because only minimal lighting was on, the reception room gave off a cozy and warm atmosphere rather than a spacious and cool impression. Yuelina carefully examined the cushions embroidered with flowers and the red carpet with its unique pattern. It seemed every inch had been touched by human hands. "Your Highness the Grand Duke, Your Highness the Grand Duchess. Welcome." At that moment, Madam Eska approached Theo…

"What place?" What competition did Theo enter? "The Tea-Pie ladies. Maelyn, Raye, and Letitia. And me." "What??" "I'm curious about where I rank among them to you." Yuelina's eyes gradually widened. Was he asking her to rank people? "W-what ranking are you talking about, Theo?" "Do you like Letitia better? Or do you like me better?" Theo's expression was completely serious as he asked this childish and foolish question. He had reached a point where he could no longer…
