"Ha!" The sound of hooves rang out powerfully as he spurred his horse. The Bickman mansion was appearing beyond the beautiful trees that were beginning to turn red. His heart pounded, and a smile naturally rose to his lips. He had thought a month would be enough to visit Freemont, but it ended up taking over two months. Due to the journey being longer than expected, he could feel the season changing. Managing a territory as vast as his was no ordinary task. Fortunately, both Freemont and Edmus…-

"Now, we stand before a historic moment." Maya solemnly looked over each of the servants standing before her. Though the weather was incomparably bright, a sense of gravity flowed through their expressions as they stood in their neat uniforms. She had tied her hair, combed more neatly than usual, into a single knot and had eyes that blazed like a predator before a hunt. Thanks to this, even her freckles, which usually gave her a cute impression, seemed to exude the intimidating aura of tattoos that…

It was a windless night. A light drizzle had fallen, leaving the ground moist. The clouds were rumbling as if more rain would soon fall. Riding toward the villa where Hestian was staying, smelling the thick scent of vegetation, Quido stopped when he saw something. The area in front of the villa, which was usually shrouded in darkness at this hour, was as bright as if it were on fire. There appeared to be well over a hundred soldiers gathered. Quickly dismounting, he carefully approached through the…

Several busy days passed. Lucienne gathered information through the merchant group and planted people near Duke Gerard and Count Hestian to monitor their movements. After meeting Gerard that day, Hestian subsequently summoned elder nobles for several meetings. She couldn't know exactly what discussions took place, but given Duke Tofsen's involvement, she could guess they weren't unrelated to Delmer's death. With merchant group work and territory management piling up, Lucienne was buried among…

"What on earth is that appearance? Did you really come alone with just one coachman and one carriage? Do you know what the Count might have been planning? He's a person who's desperate to kill you!" As soon as I got into the carriage, words poured out of my mouth like a waterfall. With Tom seated in the middle, I had to lean forward to look at Lars on the opposite side. Seeing him slowly blinking while rubbing his face as if truly exhausted made my stomach turn. I gripped my skirt tightly and raised…

Rumon, who had been tearing into meat dripping with blood, wiped his greasy lips roughly with the back of his hand and opened his bleary eyes. Then he subtly looked over the woman in front of him. At a glance, she was dressed like a maid from a wealthy noble family, but what was strange was that she had the eyes of someone who handled a sword. In fact, the large man standing next to her had a fierce face and emanated an unusual aura. Being fond of alcohol, he often got into various disputes, so he…

The swaying carriage was filled with a suffocating silence. I glanced at Lars sitting beside me. I couldn't tell when it would be appropriate to speak to him as he stubbornly stared straight ahead with furrowed brows. The man who had been so passionate this morning seemed like a different person. "Achoo!" As I rolled my eyes, thinking about the letter concerning Commander Sephir in my possession, a sneeze suddenly escaped. When I sniffled, feeling a chill, I heard a soft sigh. Turning my head…

"What did you just say...?" Duke Gerard Micover nearly dropped the wine glass he was holding. The shadows of flames flickering on the wall wavered chaotically like his mind. Unable to believe what he'd heard, he looked at Beitram sitting across from him, but there was no particular expression on his reddish face. Despite the fact that what he had just said was not something one could say so casually. It was truly astounding. Hurriedly setting down his wine glass, Micover stood up abruptly to show…

"A hunting competition?" Lars stared at Pelowic with sharp eyes. Pelowic, who was personally pouring tea, frowned. "I asked you to tell me about the engagement first. What exactly happened?" "It's probably just as you heard. So, you've been invited to a hunting competition hosted by Duke Gerard?" "I haven't heard anything, Duke. So I'd like you to tell me yourself." Pelowic looks at him with a stubborn expression as he sets down the teapot. Lars didn't continue and turned his head. The…

Asla decided to rely on her only decision. She believed that even Enoch's twisted obsession could be corrected through conversation. 'I won't expect grand feelings like love from him. I'm fine with that.' Still, since Enoch kept their marriage declaration document bound by their marriage vows, they could live supporting each other as companions. Objectively speaking, he was a man too good for her. Asla clung to her last hope and returned to bed, forcing herself to seek sleep that wouldn't…-
