      TCWO – Chapter 98 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 98 Support my translation for more and faster updates I blinked in surprise, placing my hand gently over my chest as I asked, “With… me?” Ian didn’t respond, instead raising one eyebrow as if to say, ‘Who else would I be asking?’ His expression made it clear that he was referring to me. The unexpected situation made my confusion evident on my face. “Are you serious?” “I didn’t think this was the time for jokes.” “…” “Are you unwilling?” he asked,…

The Seraph Ducal House was one of the leading noble families aligned with Ian, standing against the Emperor, the princess, and their supporters. Straightening up from his bow, he asked, “How have you been?” “As you can see,” Ian…

      TCWO – Chapter 96 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 96 Support my translation for more and faster updates As expected, the booming voice belonged to Vivi. She woke me with her loud voice and shoved me into the bathroom before I had even fully opened my eyes. Sure enough, inside the bathroom stood maids, all lined up with brushes, oils, and massage tools in hand. “Do we really… have to go this far, Vivi?” “Of course! Madame Zed made such a beautiful dress for you! You must dress accordingly. Oh, though you’re always beautiful,…

      TCWO – Chapter 97 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 97 Support my translation for more and faster updates When we arrived at the Imperial Palace, the sun was slanting down just beyond the spires. I glanced at the line of carriages stretching from the entrance to the banquet hall as Ian helped me down. Somehow, his hand seemed more tense than usual as he escorted me. I, too, was stiff with awkwardness. The entrance to the banquet hall was illuminated by flickering lights that sparkled like constellations, painting the night sky. I let out…

      TCWO – Chapter 94 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 94 Support my translation for more and faster updates I barely managed to swallow the tea I almost spat out and coughed lightly. “Oh my, Your Grace! Are you all right?” “Cough, I’m fine.” I wiped my mouth with the handkerchief handed to me by the young lady sitting next to me and asked, “…What’s this nonsense you’re talking about all of a sudden?” The noblewomen and young ladies who had gathered around me exchanged knowing glances. It was a sly look, as if they…

      TCWO – Chapter 95 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 95 Support my translation for more and faster updates The Mary Marquess family had already secured a stronghold in one of the main street’s large dress shops. And yet, they had reached out to us. ‘Since it’s the Marquess’s daughter and not the Marquess herself who made the inquiry, this isn’t an official move from the family.’ Was Lady Mary sixteen this year? Young ladies around that age are particularly sensitive to trends, so she was likely influenced by her peers. It…

      TCWO – Chapter 91 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 91 “…I am not unaware of Your Majesty’s intentions.” Ian looked directly at Elisio. “I also understand that giving up my right to the throne could weaken my position as a member of the royal family.” “You know that, yet…” Elisio frowned again, massaging his temples. “But, Your Majesty,” Ian paused briefly before continuing, “…the Grand Duchess was injured.” The Emperor hesitated. He slowly lifted his head to look at Ian. His face remained calm. “It’s…

      TCWO – Chapter 92 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 92 “…Pardon?” It was a response that came after several seconds—no, perhaps minutes—of silence. I doubted what I’d just heard over and over again, looking at him with confused eyes. What did he just say? Unlike me, who was flustered, Ian, the one who dropped the bombshell, remained as calm as ever. So calm it was irritating. “So, what you’re saying is…” “It means I have feelings for you.” “…” “For you, Eloise.” I was at a loss for words once…

      TCWO – Chapter 93 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 93 “A misunderstanding, you say…” “……” “So you’re saying the feelings I have for you are just a temporary result of the suspension bridge effect?” “Exactly!” I nodded quickly. Ian, who had been looking at me with a sour expression, spoke in a cynical tone. “You almost sound like you’re hoping that’s the case.” “…Ahem.” He hit the nail on the head. Of course, even if the world flipped upside down seven times, the feelings you have right now must…

      TCWO – Chapter 9 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 9 “What?” “M-Madam!” From both sides, I could hear the voices of Vivi and Madame Zed in a surround sound. “Did I hear you correctly? You said you’d buy all the dresses in the shop?” “If your ears aren’t failing you.” Upon hearing my confirmation, her face turned as white as a sheet of paper. She stared at me blankly and even pinched her own cheek lightly. “Ouch!” Oof, that must’ve hurt. She probably pinched herself too hard. Unlike me, who sighed quietly,…
