Delia clasped her trembling hands together and stood inside Kaiel’s bedroom. The dagger, secured near her waist, poked her side, reminding her of its presence. Her heart pounded in her chest from the tension. Thinking about it now, poisoning his tea and bringing it to him wasn’t that difficult of a task. It was just that she had messed that up and wasted a precious opportunity. As Delia held her breath, she could hear Kaiel’s low, steady breathing in the silent air. It was frustrating to…-

Heavy rain poured down on Sheriton since early morning. The servants’ loud voices pierced through the clamorous sound of the rain. “Miss!” “Miss! Please come out!” “Aren’t you going to have breakfast?” It was incredibly noisy in front of Delia’s bedroom as the servants called out to her at the top of their lungs. One of the maids sighed with a worried look on her face. “What’s wrong with Miss……. She was fine until yesterday.” “Well, actually,…

A short while later, Delia arrived at the bridge located on the long corridor of the villa. From there, she had a clear view of the scenery below, including the people passing by. If anyone were to ask why she was walking around with a random flowerpot, there was only one reason. A new way to eliminate Kaiel Ceder. Soon, a long shadow stretched out from the end of the corridor. Delia extended both arms, clutching the flowerpot, over the railing. Kaiel emerged from the end of…

She was running out of creative and diverse methods. In fact, she had just returned from another attempt. For the past few days, she had been roaming the capital at dawn, acquiring a deadly poison from a hunter and applying it to a needle, which she then stuck into Kaiel’s bed. If this failed, she had no other ideas. Moreover, the burning determination to kill him that had fueled her for the past week was fading, replaced by a creeping sense of avoidance and emptiness. ‘I…

Realizing this, Delia reflexively grabbed whatever she could get her hands on. She thought it would be his collar or arm, but what met her fingertips was none other than his hard Adam’s apple. Startled by the unfamiliar sensation, Delia quickly withdrew her hand. “I didn’t know you were going to strangle me.” Kaiel looked down at Delia quietly. There was a hint of amusement in his voice, but Delia was in no state to notice. “How did it feel?” Delia lifted her head at the…

Meanwhile, Delia planned to enjoy some peace and quiet now that the aftermath of her failed assassination attempt had subsided. As she brushed Delia’s long hair, the maid told her about what had happened while she was ill. “His Highness the Crown Prince and Her Highness the Princess have been taking turns visiting you. Oh my, they’re both so beautiful…! It’s breathtaking every time I see them.” “What about Kaiel?” “As expected, the Grand Duke is always on your…

"Kaiel, when did you leave yesterday?" When Delia suddenly asked during breakfast, Kaiel's pupils contracted slightly. "I didn't even know you left because I was asleep." Only after she said this did Kaiel pick up his spoon again. Watching Kaiel empty his plate, Delia suddenly seemed to remember something and smiled warmly. "You know what, Her Highness the Imperial Princess sent a gift to Lady Rant in my name." Kaiel silently raised his head. Delia continued speaking. "How can she be…

CH 6 The gift, which was the size of a small box, was wrapped in green wrapping paper. A red ribbon wrapped around the whole thing, and Delia's name was written on a small paper attached to it. The problem was that Delia had never sent such a gift to Lady Rant. 'Who could it be?' If it wasn't her, someone must have sent the gift to the lady on her behalf. 'I can't open a gift meant for the lady, well......" Delia picked up the box and shook it lightly. There was no particular…

She thought he would stay by Lady Rant’s side a little longer, but he came to see the Empress right away! If he came all the way to the Empress’s Palace himself, this must be that ‘one visit’ from the original story. After this, the Imperial Palace would turn into a bloodbath, and the situation would only spiral into despair. ‘This cannot happen!’ Forgetting that she was disguised as a maid and in hiding, Delia shot out like a bullet. She had to stop Kaiel at…

Only when Delia forcibly pushed him away did he take a step back. But that was all. Kaiel turned back to look at her. His eyes were flickering with an emotion that felt out of place with his cold gaze. He asked, each word laced with force. “I haven’t heard the answer yet. How are you feeling, Delia?” ‘He’s worried about my condition in this situation?!’ Delia felt a surge of emotion welling up inside…
