Chapter 10 I felt a little ashamed of my past self for ever having found this interesting. Tap. I closed the book without a hint of regret and got to my feet. Rather than reading some ridiculous story about a dragon that amounted to nothing, chopping firewood was far more worthwhile. “Whew.” I stretched and stepped outside the front door. The air felt noticeably warmer. The weather wasn't particularly cold today, either. Could spring already be on its way? According to Nina, who…-

Chapter 9 “!” For the first time in a long while, Zenos's eyes widened in genuine surprise as he sharply inhaled. Apparently, his opponent was just as startled. Renee Blanche, who nearly fell backward from the shock, barely managed to suppress a scream as she cautiously took a few steps back. The basket she had been holding slipped from her hands, and its contents immediately scattered across the floor with a loud clatter. “Eek!” Her round eyes, opened wide in surprise, sparkled…

Chapter 8 “Your Highness.” The unexpected newcomers were servants wearing maid uniforms like Betty's. Among them was the maid who had come to the cabin calling for Betty on the first day I arrived at Celeste. Was her name Dora? But aside from her, most of them were strangely well-built. The maids stood with stern, solemn, and serious expressions, their hands planted firmly on their waists as they stared at me. Dark shadows fell along their prominent noses, which stood out just as…

Chapter 7 The moment the doors opened, an enormous cloud of dust and a musty smell rushed out and engulfed us. “Cough! Cough! What on earth…” I had thought I had developed quite a tolerance for dirty environments after sweeping and cleaning the cabin. But this body really was incredibly weak! After waiting for the dust to settle somewhat, I carefully stepped into the library one foot at a time. Swish! Betty, who moved faster than I did, reached the window on the opposite side and…

Chapter 6 “Oh my~” “What on earth is going on?” “I heard Her Grace the Grand Duchess and her maid finally met!” Before long, a group of servants had gathered around Renee and Katarina, watching the scene unfold. Annoyed by the rising commotion, Katarina whipped her head around. One of the maids who happened to meet her gaze flinched and immediately lowered her eyes. Amid the whispers ringing in her ears, a servant across from her briefly smirked. They say the enemy of my…

Chapter 5 As though she had made up her mind about something, Betty squeezed her eyes shut and fired off her words in one breath, almost like she was shouting a battle cry. Then she cautiously opened her eyes, let out a deep sigh, and continued. “Either way, His Grace the Grand Duke usually stays in the western tower, where his study is, rather than the main building. You’ll hardly ever run into him.” “Then what’s the problem?” “Well, that’s true, but… Could you please…

Chapter 4 “Are you all right?!” Betty, who had promptly thrown down the tray containing breakfast, came running toward me with her eyes wide open. ‘This is so embarrassing….’ Of all things, she had to catch me looking like this… But Betty, who had no idea how humiliated I was, was practically jumping around even though she wasn't the one who had fallen. “What were you doing out here? Why weren't you inside?! Did you end up collapsing? Are you dizzy? Has your anemia come…

Chapter 3 ‘That last part was a lie. Was it too obvious?’ Telling them to give my regards to that young lady had honestly just been something I said without meaning it. Young lady or no young lady… forget it! I wanted to warm myself by that fireplace right now! The freezing weather had already worn my patience down to nothing. “…Then, we shall take our leave.” Had they finally understood what I really wanted? After hesitating for a moment, the two maids bowed so deeply…

Chapter 2 Inside a luggage wagon, where wooden crates and piles of straw were rolling around together. I had fallen asleep for a while, and when I woke up, I rubbed my eyes vigorously before flopping down on top of the straw. Was the sun gradually setting? Or were we heading toward a colder region? Or perhaps both? As the chill slowly seeped into my body, I instinctively wrapped my arms around myself, only for silver hair to spill over and tickle my arms. Absentmindedly playing with my…

Chapter 1 It was a very strange sensation. It was a tingling feeling that swept through me from head to toe, as if I had been drowning in water only to be suddenly pulled up to the surface in an instant. “My lady! Are you all right?” “Oh my! The bride….” “Shall I call for a physician?” The voices of several people around me buzzed from every direction. After hearing came touch. Someone’s thick arms were wrapped tightly around my body. Then I felt the violent…
