Edith stepped onto the pure white carpet and momentarily regretted how carelessly she had taken things in the past. The man walking toward her from the far end of the aisle, Skyle, shimmered so brilliantly that he seemed as though he might merge with the light and vanish at any moment. ‘Should I have done something—taken some kind of measure?’ In truth, Edith had no particular dream or romantic ideal about weddings. It wasn’t just that she had never planned for marriage before—it was…-

“The Robedan Royal Theater is under His Majesty’s gracious patronage. Since His Majesty is like an uncle to me, how could such a place disregard our House of Valesia?” The Young Lady of Valesia, taking a step forward as if to intercept her mother, spoke in a cordial yet clear voice. “But Vivianne, surely—if that weren’t the case, why would they keep us standing here like this?” Though the young lady's composed tone seemed to calm her mother slightly, the older woman’s frustration…

Chapter 1: Benefits for the Children of National Heroes Edith placed the wooden cup in front of Vincent. After a brief pause, she spoke with great caution. “I’m terribly sorry, but the tea isn’t prepared yet.” “It’s fine. I shouldn’t have arrived without notice, so please, don’t worry about it.” Vincent gently smiled as he briefly glanced down at the white milk in the cup. However, he did not touch the wooden vessel. ‘How did such a distinguished person end up in…

In the aristocratic circles, the influence of society newsletters was considerable. It didn’t take long for everyone in the palace to learn about Duke Devion’s newfound romance. “The Duke of Devion, getting married? The banquet halls will overflow with tear-soaked handkerchiefs.” “It seems fate always has its own plans.” ‘“But has anyone even heard of the Brussels Barony before? This is the first I’ve heard of them.” “Well, that’s probably why he’s marrying her. No…

Ah. It was at that moment Edith realized for the first time that the Duke had an exceptionally pleasant voice. She hadn’t noticed it before, distracted as she was by his overwhelming appearance and peculiar way of speaking, but the Duke’s voice carried a rich, deep timbre that was soothing to the ears. It wasn’t until he spoke her name—not a sentence she had to ponder over—that the quality of his voice struck her fully. “By your reasoning, I suppose I should call you by your name as…

Knock. Knock. “Did you enjoy your conversation?” Edith wanted to ask why he phrased it like that, but the sudden knock at the door cut her short. As her small lips closed weakly, the Duke's gaze, which had fleetingly landed on her, shifted away just as quickly. Edith could only stare blankly as the door creaked open. ‘Was I too intrusive?’ That evening, Edith lay on her side, clutching a large pillow close to her chest, lost in thought. She hadn’t even managed to ask the…

*** That afternoon, Edith made her way to the imperial palace to meet the Duke. The imperial palace, which she was visiting for the first time, exuded an air of antiquity, akin to an old temple, with its grandeur and elegance. As she took in the atmosphere, she recalled the relatively modern appearance of the Ministry of Magic’s building, a reminder of its recent establishment. Following the instructions, she stepped into the drawing room, where Duke Devion and Vincent were waiting…

From the day she awakened in this world as Edith, she had possessed a peculiar ability: the power to assess the condition of children. If Edith had met the child personally and seen them with her own eyes, their name would inevitably appear in her "treasure chest." Initially, the information displayed was usually limited to the child’s mood or basic state. However, as Edith acquired more details, the entries would be updated accordingly. At times, the treasure chest even offered glimpses into…

Edith couldn’t help but chuckle at the voice she heard. It was so monotone that it made him sound as though he was genuinely curious about why she was laughing. Her senior had been like that too—more interested in understanding ‘why’ something happened rather than engaging in idle chatter. In truth, she hadn’t been a particularly sociable senior. Most of their peers found her rather uncomfortable to be around, but Edith had oddly liked her. “Ah, speaking with you, Your Grace, reminds…

Chapter 2: Designing a New Life A few days had passed since then, and Edith once again found herself at the doorstep of Duke Devion’s mansion. This time, it was to move in. Though their marriage had not yet taken place, it was inevitable that a ceremony would occur soon, so Edith had agreed to the decision. As usual, she was somewhat intimidated by the imposing grandeur of the Duke's mansion. But soon enough, she straightened her posture, lightly slapping her cheeks. ‘This is the…
