I couldn't bring myself to lift my head as I waited for the announcer's words. "Woaaaah!" Another loud cheer erupted. As the announcer declared that the Grand Duke of Monteroz had scored points again and won, my body went limp. "Wife." Hearing Cedric's voice close by, I looked up to see him standing with his back to the sun. The light was so bright that I had to shield my eyes, and only then could I see Cedric who had removed his helmet. Fortunately, he looked fine except for being…-

Beitram approached me holding a champagne glass. Looking at his expressionless face, wearing a white dress shirt and a blood-red brown vest, fear spread like heat across my face. Swallowing dryly, I bowed my head slightly. "Excuse me. I seem to have entered the wrong room." "Getting engaged?" Before I could fully turn around, Beitram's question flew at me. His voice had a rough texture that felt like it was scraping my spine. I glanced sideways at the slightly open door and answered calmly. "I…-

"Is it true?" Nix, who was moving the last cargo that had arrived by ship with the workers, turned his head at the voice that flew from behind him, panting. Tom's face, with the setting sun at his back, looked particularly red. It wasn't just because of the sunset. The terrible smell of alcohol was stinging his nose. Nix wiped away his sweat and straightened his back. Tom urged him with an anxious face. "Is it true that the miss is getting engaged to that so-called bone-dog duke!" "If you're…

A wine glass with intricate gold-inlaid patterns fell to the floor with a crisp sound. Beitram couldn't help but doubt his ears, though he knew he had heard correctly. "Who did what?" The air itself seemed to hold its breath at his ominous voice, which resembled a growling beast. Quido, who knew his master's temperament very well, bowed his masked face even deeper. "Last evening at Isabel Belzak's engagement party, Lucienne Bickman proposed to a young duke from Freemont." Beitram abruptly stood…

"This brother, this, this is a fun brother indeed. No, so, you ate all of that?" "Of course. Why would I refuse? I have the world's largest stomach, that's what." The tipsy blue mask exclaimed while pounding his stomach. I was listening to their uninteresting stories with my chin rested on my hand, looking indifferent. Having plied them with alcohol while making trivial conversation until they were somewhat drunk, I was taking a break. Amidst the commotion, I nudged Tom's side while watching…

Two weeks later, a ball was held. It was the regular banquet held annually in Duke Pruis's castle. Luxury carriages of nobles lined up in front of the ducal castle's grand garden, and male and female nobles showing off their splendid appearances arrived one after another in the grand banquet hall. That moment, Liana was being dressed surrounded by maids. When her makeup was finished, clothing store staff who had come and waited in advance helped her put on the light blue patterned dress she had…-

Liana woke up late every morning, ate the food Kelly brought, then sat on the sofa drinking tea while reading books she had brought from the library. After lunch, she dozed off in front of the warm fireplace, catching up on insufficient sleep. Since she couldn't sleep properly at night from having sex with Dain, she was constantly sleepy during the day. Then after finishing dinner, she would wash her body and prepare to spend the night with Dain. It was a repetition of the same daily…

A sorrowful aria echoed through a performance hall in Todd, the imperial capital of the Mancus Empire. The audience filling the seats looked at the female lead on stage with moved expressions. She was a veteran actor who had been playing leading roles in the Shariv Theater Company for a long time, and her name was Laura. During that time, in the waiting room behind the stage, there was a woman singing along to Laura's aria. She was a beautiful woman with platinum hair, pale blue eyes, and skin white…

"What? How do you plan to deal with the aftermath?" If Melissa married Lloyd, she would become the crown prince's consort of the Artzen Empire. Was he saying he would kidnap the crown prince's consort? No, that wasn't the most important issue. "What about the Magic Tower?" The Magic Tower had already faced all kinds of criticism because Melissa went there and didn't return. If Edgar Shortiras, the future Tower Master, kidnapped Lucid—no, the crown prince's consort—again, what would…-

"Because I love you." The quiet words pierced Melissa's ears. In fact, these were words she had heard before. Edgar had continuously confessed his feelings. With proposals, with words of affection, by not rejecting her kisses, by celebrating her coming-of-age ceremony that everyone else had ignored and already passed. But this confession was somehow different. It felt like a sharp arrow had flown and lodged in her chest. So deeply that it couldn't be pulled out no matter how much strength…
