Baron Fischer provided all the materials he had gathered. Maybe he was just waiting for an opportunity. The documents included an analysis of why the flowers’ price was inflated and information about the sellers. ‘I wanted to know if Brantley’s plan to become a dealer and take revenge on Duke Eisen is feasible.’ This was…

The fortune-teller threw the beads onto the table with his thick, muscular arms. The beads clattered and then came to a stop. “What does the reading say?” “…” The fortune-teller stared silently at the beads. Duke Eisen, growing anxious, asked again. “What does my fortune look like? Will my investment luck continue?” “…” The man,…

“This Young Lady is with you, Mut ?” The staff member asked, clearly caught off guard. But I was even more flustered, no, more baffled. However, the man called Mut was shameless, speaking even more brazenly, “Mind your own business about what’s ‘mine’.” “Oh, I apologize for my rudeness. Shall I guide you back to…

Even just seeing other men glance at Hanelope made him feel like he was going to go mad with jealousy. When Gallota demanded marriage from her, the urge to kill was almost unbearable. ‘I can’t be satisfied just being by Hanelope’s side, just being her shadow. I want… Hanelope.’ It was an undeniable conclusion. To…

On the day the delegation returned to the Eastern Continent, the farewell ceremony was modest. This was due to the tragic incident that had occurred the night before. Palleta, in shackles, was the first to be put on the departing ship. I stood in a quiet place, away from the crowd, watching the scene. After…

“What do you mean?” Gallota, not understanding my intention, asked blankly. “Mahach wants to catch the murderer of the crown prince more than anyone. So when he hears this, even if the recording is erased, he will become a more powerful witness than the recording itself.” Gallota seemed to finally grasp my intention and nodded…

“That’s right, the evidence that the Fourth Prince killed the Crown Prince.” Gallota stared down at me with wide eyes. He trembled violently and then suddenly burst into laughter like a madman. “What? You’re going to give me evidence that the Fourth Prince killed the Crown Prince? Hahaha…!” Gallota glared at me. “Are you mocking…

Talot grinned, “He hasn’t said anything, but we all know. Our brother has someone he loves. Your Highness has an expression like you don’t believe me. Or maybe you don’t want to believe it?” ‘Was I making such a face?’ I absentmindedly touched my cheek. I felt my facial muscles stiffen. Seeing this, Talot smiled…

The knight’s demeanor was far from disrespectful. His manner of speaking was refined enough to belong to a noble, and his deep voice was very pleasing to the ear. Yet, Duke Eisen instinctively shrank back. “W-what gives you the right to tell me what to do…?” “A noble duke like yourself shouldn’t be wandering around…

“What makes Brantley so special to you?” I asked. Talot’s eyes gleamed at my question. “When you see him bravely charge forward and take down enemies, no man could help but fall in love. He was so magnificent. Sigh…” Talot sighed in ecstasy just from reminiscing. “And that’s not all. When the mercenary group was…

Gallota’s sly smile crossed Brantley’s gaze. “By the way, the Princess seems to be very close with her escort.” He was still smiling, but there was a grimace of annoyance. Along with his insincere smile, his eyes were tainted with something else. Brantley lowered his head and clenched his fists. It seemed he was desperately…

Gallota narrowed his eyes and silently stared at Yenna. “The Princess of Berg?” “Yes. The one who dared to tear her corsage at the banquet. She is said to be one of the most respected women in Berg.” “If I marry into the Berg nobility, the Emperor will be pleased as well.” “Not just pleased,…

The banquet ended in an uncomfortable atmosphere of cordiality. Still, Grandfather invited them back to the hunting grounds the next day. “I would love to drown them in the sea right now. I’ll be merciful for now. I believe we can extract important information from them,” is what he said. Besides, when the Crown Prince…

A dazzling interior with nowhere for the eyes to rest. Elegant music flowing gracefully. A sophisticated scent teasing the nose. The grand hall where the banquet was held was stunning to the point of ecstasy. Brantley wasn’t near the center. He stood by a pillar, gazing towards Hanelope. The escort knights were only allowed to…

“But you guys injured me..” “If you’re upset, challenge me to a formal duel. If you’re confident enough to win against my knight, that is.” In a formal duel, regardless of status, people could fight. ‘In extreme cases, one could even kill their opponent.’ Although it was a brief meeting, Jacob was probably aware that…
