‘No, not yet!’ I quickly erased the grim future from my mind, the one where I’d be sent to a convent by the Marchioness Lindsay. There’s a saying: even if you enter a tiger’s den, you’ll survive if you keep your wits about you. Surely there must be a way to avoid getting entangled with the Duke Hiclid, who was storming toward me with an aura as fierce as that of a tiger. I’ll act like it was a complete coincidence. I mean, it was a…-

Although the Marquis does not monitor my every move, it is only natural that he would take an interest upon hearing that I, who have refrained from all external contact during my period of reflection, have suddenly decided to send a letter. “It’ll be a nuisance if he checks the contents.” Understandable, considering the destination of the letter is... "A magic tool specialty shop!" Mia’s eyes sparkled as she spoke. “What are you…

“What?” At Jayden’s baffled voice, my heart shriveled to the size of a bean. ‘I’m doomed.’ Of course he’d be flustered. To think that the mysterious intruder he believed was threatening his sister turned out to be a perverted criminal, his own sister, no less. Looking at the situation objectively, it could easily seem like I’d kidnapped some handsome man off the street. ‘… I should just confess…

Eugen looked confused, clearly not understanding. “Tied up? Why?” “Well… please don’t take it the wrong way. It’s not that I think you’re a bad person.” I came clean about how severe Eugen’s sleeping habits were, and that because of it, I couldn’t share a bed with him under the current circumstances. “…I see. I didn’t know.” He answered with a blank expression, but there was a brief silence where I sensed a hint of…

"Um, and maybe... date too...?" I struggled to figure out how to respond to Reynard’s awkward suggestion. Then, out of nowhere, the man who had put me in this dilemma let out a hearty laugh. "I'm joking. I just wanted to tease you a little." Leaning against the armrest of the sofa, he propped his chin up with one hand. "Seems like I was a bit shocked. It's rare for someone to reject a proposal so cleanly." A…

I coughed repeatedly, barely managing to form a proper sentence. “…What, what did you say?” I thought I heard something about marriage just now, but no matter how I turned it over in my head, I had to be mistaken. That wasn’t the kind of word that would naturally come up in this situation. Reynard blinked as if slightly surprised. “Oh dear, are you alright? It seems something went down the wrong pipe.” Only then did I…

I had to scream silently when I saw Eugen waving at me so casually. ‘Why is he here again?!’ It was obvious. He must have come for the same reason as Reynard. That much was easy to guess after hearing what Reynard had said earlier. If Reynard was suffering from the bed’s curse again, then Eugen must be in the same situation. More than a week had already passed since he had last slept in my bed. ‘I know. I know that,…

"I'm really sorry, but due to my current situation, I haven’t been able to open an account there. Would it be too much trouble for Your Highness to open one for me?" "Lady Charlotte." "You know how the Central Bank of Kelmir operates on a strict confidentiality policy. As long as I have the account holder's name and the password, I can use it without any issue after you've set it up..." "Hold on." Reynard raised his hand, cutting me off…

“Ugh.” I didn’t even have the luxury of thinking deeply. “Give it here!” Quickly, I snatched the silver hair from Jayden’s hand and hid it in my grip. “Why are you being shy and asking about someone else’s white hair like that?” “White hair?” “Yeah, my white hair!” “But from what I saw, it seemed more silver than white…” “You must have seen it wrong. It was definitely…

“I have an urgent matter to discuss, so I plan to visit tonight. If this is inconvenient, please reply with a preferred date and time.” I read the concise note, consisting of only two sentences, over and over again. Just in case, I checked the back, but that was all the note contained. "Where’s the compensation? My money?" My mood sank from the sense of betrayal, but soon, the phrase "urgent matter to discuss" started to weigh more heavily on my…
