The auction day approached. I memorized and re-memorized the precautions for the Bleed auction. "They won't provide a list of participants, right?" "They won't. Just in case, don't remove your mask." I nodded. I took the mask and put it on my face lightly. "Hmm, that doesn't seem sufficient." "Pardon?" Cedric looked around and brought a black cloth. "You should wear this along with the mask." "I'd stand out too much, wouldn't I?" "It would be awkward if you were recognized…-

"20,000 gold! 20,000 gold has been offered." The host's voice rose noticeably. It wasn't surprising that he was excited, given that I had suddenly called out almost xdouble the amount from 11,000 gold. Shouldn't a person participating in an auction for the first time show some recklessness? I hoped my behavior would make me appear to others as a noble lady who knew nothing. Everyone looked at me with surprised expressions. "20,000 gold has been offered! Is there no one else?! If not, I will…

"Ce-Cedric?" "Allen should be sound asleep by now." "Please calm down a bit." He didn't seem to hear her words. Judging by his slightly spinning eyes, nothing she said would stop him. She was trapped between his hands, clasping her own hands over her chest. His black hair, bathed in moonlight, looked particularly dark tonight. "Claire." Calling her name, he naturally took her hands and raised them above her head. He buried his face against her now defenseless chest and inhaled…

I should have made the contract earlier! She savored her leisure time sitting in a rocking chair, drinking tea. With so many eyes always watching over Allen, she wasn't worried. After contracting with the divine beasts, she used their power very efficiently, just as she had warned them. As a result, the divine beasts' eyes were full of hostility when they returned to the duke's residence. Above all, the most satisfying thing was that thanks to the divine beasts playing with Allen, she and Cedric…

She didn't know how many times she had regulated her breathing and pushed. Her entire body was drenched in sweat. Though Serina was helping beside her, she too seemed somewhat tired from the increasingly shorter intervals between contractions. "Hoo, hoo." "Just a little more effort, please!" Rien, who was holding her hand, looked at her with worried eyes. Serina wiped sweat from the back of her hand and did her best. The room was filled with heat. Her entire body felt like it was breaking…

"Fortunately, you arrived at the perfect time." The place where Rowell guided us looked busy. He said that there happened to be a banquet where elemental spirit masters would gather to prepare blessings. I looked around excitedly. My attention was drawn to the flowers and trees blooming everywhere. "I'm so thrilled that we can receive a blessing." "It is my honor to bless the life soon to be born. I hope you enjoy the Jemontsha banquet during your stay." "Thank you. This will be an enjoyable…

"Claire." A low voice called my name. "Cedric?" "......I think I need to make the room security more thorough." "Huh? Security?" I tilted my head at his words and rubbed my eyes. I tried to get up, but my body felt heavy. "Ugh, so heavy." There's no way I would be this heavy just because my stomach was full. Only then did I notice the animals that had settled beside me and fallen asleep. There were even several large cotton balls on top of my belly. "All of you, get…

"Is it true?" "Is that true? Check again to make sure you haven't felt wrong." Cedric and I asked Davin simultaneously. He said with a gentle smile, "It's certain. The power flowing through your body has calmed down, and it seems the child has settled in. Your body must have been under a lot of strain, but now it seems the power has harmonized." "......My goodness." I covered my mouth with my hand and looked at Cedric. We couldn't speak for a long time. "So the unstable energy in my body…

After Cedric returned from the imperial capital, he strangely became busy. Oversleeping because we were together every day might be one reason, but visitors to the grand ducal residence never ceased. "I can't take it anymore!" I couldn't stand it any longer and barged into the office. "Cedric, let's talk." He looked up from his documents to see me. I walked to the desk and showed him the schedule, saying, "Why, why is my schedule the only one in such chaos?" "That's because you have…

Radia village was peaceful even upon revisiting. Especially the sunset seen from the cliff was fantastic. Seeing the burning red light spread across the sea's surface with the red sun hanging on the horizon, my heart felt warm. "It doesn't feel real." I shuddered at the thought of the relentless connection with my father that had seemed endless. "Still no word from the Grand Duke?" "He's probably rounding up those involved. There's no one in Lendsa with as much influence as His Highness the…
