The carriage stopped in front of the mansion. Claire and Cedric tidied their appearances as if nothing had happened. "Your Grace. Your complexion......" Kaven tilted his head as he looked at Cedric. He brushed back his hair, damp with sweat, and handed his jacket to Kaven. "If you're going to say something useless, just help prepare for the hunting competition tomorrow." "Yes, understood." Kaven drooped his shoulders and turned away. "Is there anything I can help with?" Claire…-

The secret room that Cedric had kept to himself was ultimately scheduled for major renovation. Keeping it hidden would only make him think about it more. When I suggested exposing it and changing it into something else, Cedric was positive about the idea. "Can I really do whatever I want?" "Since it will be a space for my wife and I, anything is fine with me." After much consideration, we decided to create a relaxation space where Cedric and I could talk and fill our days. We discussed…

"I lacked courage, and this is the first time I've come here since my father passed away." Cedric's face was expressionless. Despite his calm appearance, I could feel his emotions. So I held his hand tightly. I felt tense about peeking into a space that contained memories buried deep in his heart. 'I know about the secret room, but......' Actually seeing it with my own eyes made my heart heavy. "I'll go down first, then follow me. The slope is steep and dangerous." He vanished into the…

Clarira couldn't close her mouth when she saw the huge sailing ship before her eyes. A place where hope begins, was it? Her heart swelled at the thought of the sailing ship floating on the sea. She didn't know why. She had never seen such a large sailing ship before. Serina must have brought her here because it was related to Claire. "As the sailing ship is completed, everyone's wishes are fulfilled, so it's a place where hope begins." Everyone's wishes? That must be to stop the emperor's…

Vahalla began reporting what had happened during our absence. "First, after the Marquis visited, other knights were lurking around, but there were no significant confrontations." Most of it was related to the imperial family. Vahalla and Cedric discussed administrative matters. I sat on the sofa, drinking tea and looking at a drawing of the completed sailing ship. 'This is better than I expected?' When I only saw the blueprint, there were limits to my imagination. Even in the novel, it was…

Morning dawned for their return to the grand ducal residence. The nobles were all disgruntled due to the search conducted the previous night. "How is the atmosphere?" I asked Dame Alita as I was finishing my preparations to leave. "It seems a lot of complaints will reach the imperial palace after the Harvest Festival ends." "The imperial palace seems chaotic, so it would be better to leave quickly." "I will hurry the preparations." While Alita hurried ahead, I approached Cedric from…

I returned to the back of the barracks. Before I could inform him of the progress, my arm was grabbed, and I was embraced by him. "Cedric?" "Shh, the emperor's knights are close by." "......Already!" "There's no time, please understand." Cedric removed my dirty clothes and dropped them on the floor. He laid me on the bed, slightly covered me with a blanket, and pressed his body close to mine. I opened my eyes wide at his lips that were dangerously close to touching mine. "What are you…

Before my private audience with Father, I returned to the barracks. I examined Cedric's body once more. "Are you really alright?" "Wife, I'm really fine." "Still, you need to be careful for a while. I know that white flower seed poison has severe aftereffects......" Sitting on the bed with Cedric, we looked at each other and smiled broadly. "I wish I could close my eyes and open them to find myself at home." "You're saying that because you're very tired. Your Highness, go to sleep early…

"......To win a competition on your first participation, I had promised to grant one wish to the winner. Yes, tell me what you want." People looked at Cedric with expectant eyes. Their faces showed anticipation for what he would request. "Please officially recognize my title as Grand Duke." "Recognize your grand ducal title? You are already a Grand Duke." Father laughed at Cedric's words. The nobles did the same. They seemed to be pretending not to know while knowing the meaning behind his…

The finals. Cedric had finally made it to the finals. I watched him with bated breath and an anxious expression. 'He looks unwell......' I was worried he might be injured. He was taking the current match very seriously. His eyes gleamed fiercely as he gripped his lance, not taking his eyes off his opponent. He looked handsome in his focused state. Yet, a corner of my heart was still anxious. Cedric continuing the competition despite the dangerous situation was probably to give me the…
