      by ianthe “Thank you for your kind words. However, there are other concerns on my mind. Lady Letie, you might be overworked, exploited, or have your business taken over by others.” Letie, as the female protagonist, would succeed smoothly. But Kana pointed out potential issues, fitting her role. Understanding her concern, Letie added an explanation. “His Highness the Second Prince has agreed to secretly support me in this matter.” “Oh, then you can prevent any unwanted attention in advance. So, why…

      by ianthe Kana and Letie simultaneously directed their gazes at him. Flustered by the sudden attention, he cleared his throat and added,  “Ahem, I was just curious.” “Oh, I see.” “...Just stop talking. It sounds like an excuse.” Though there were slight differences, both Kana and Letie’s reactions were indifferent. Kana’s was more nonchalant, whereas Letie’s reaction carried a hint of annoyance.  To change the awkward atmosphere, Kana adjusted her clothes and shifted the…

      by ianthe Kiriel glanced at Letie and then shifted his gaze to the proposal and contract. In the quiet office, only the sound of rustling papers could be heard. He shook the documents he had finished reading and spoke coldly. “Healing water… It’s quite interesting, but I don’t see the necessity of making a deal with the lady.” “You just need to make a few magical tools with special engraved magic and take the compensation. It won’t require much effort since you only need to recharge them…

      by ianthe Before long, Letie informed Kana that the boating meeting had been successfully arranged and conveyed the location and schedule. The location was a villa in the south left by Letie's late mother, along with a nearby lake. They would meet at the Magic Tower and use the teleportation magic circle there to travel to the south. ‘This follows the novel’s plot. Good thing I cleared my schedule before and after.’ Kana intermittently attended other social gatherings, fulfilling her schedule and…

      by ianthe Kana felt anxious, worried that her star rating might drop. She could understand if Richard's comment was meant to check the sub male lead who was getting close to the female protagonist, but it didn't seem like that was the case. ‘No. In this scene, Kiriel should be paying attention to Letie, not me.’ Celia trailed off hesitantly. As Kana swallowed hard, Letie thankfully stepped in to block Richard. “Lord Richard, it might be fun to tease, but please stop. You’re making the two of…

      by ianthe “Yes. That's why I’m even more impressed with you, Lord Kiriel.” Kana nodded. Letie and Richard were astonished to see the usually cold and prickly Master of the Magic Tower melting into a puddle. Richard cleared his throat and interjected. “Sorry to interrupt when the mood is good, but shouldn't we be heading to the boat now?” “My apologies, Your Highness.” Realizing she had neglected the main characters, Kana quickly bowed. Richard shook his head lightly. “It’s fine. In…

      by ianthe “...No.” Kana lowered her hands and lifted her head. However, her slightly distorted face and still weak voice only deepened his misunderstanding. Kiriel clenched and unclenched his fist as he emphasized. “Don’t worry. All the attackers have been dealt with.” “It’s obvious. Oh, and thank you for protecting me in such a dangerous situation.” Thinking about the lost star ratings almost brought tears to her eyes, but Kana managed her expression. Kiriel extended his hand and…

      by ianthe CHAPTER 5. Monster Hunting Festival Kana spoke slowly. “Since Miss Olivia is well-connected, quite a few people will gather…” “That’s right.” “It will probably be filled with chatter about who will shine at the Monster Hunting Festival or to whom they will hand over their handkerchiefs while discussing light social issues.” “I think so too.” Evie nodded enthusiastically with sparkling eyes. The purpose of gatherings where supporting characters chat before a…

      by ianthe Alderaan, in line with his character setting, first attended to his younger sister, Olivia. "Here, Olivia." "T-Thank you." Olivia, still in shock, stammered as she received the spirit stone. Leaving his stammering sister behind, Alderaan turned to his industry friend. Kana's eyes curved gently. "Lord Alderaan, I'm glad you returned safely. And congratulations on placing third." "It's all thanks to your support, Miss Kana." Alderaan responded smoothly, showing the handkerchief wrapped…

      by ianthe "We'll have to hear it from those who return. Though it's probably best not to dig too deep." "Hmm." Evie noticed that Kana briefly glanced at Cordelia and Riden. It seemed to imply that the conflict between the two princes was the cause. She wisely kept her mouth shut. Ethan, the Empire's top sword master, also didn't miss that glance. His eyebrows twitched slightly as his suspicions were confirmed. "So, even the young ladies see it that way." "Yes." Kana affirmed. Although she didn't…
