TCWO - Chapter 90 When my comment was posted in the opinion section, the rapidly updating comments came to a halt for about three seconds. Those who had been crying over the newsletter, those gritting their teeth and attacking the duke and me, and even those defending us, all seemed to stop simultaneously as if it were prearranged. ‘Was it really this intense?’ Ian’s right to succession was certainly a sensitive topic. Everyone was aware of it, but it was one of those taboo subjects no one dared…-

TCWO - Chapter 88 busted. Kyle’s expression could be summed up in one word:busted. My face grew darker and more menacing. Just thinking about the trouble that article had caused me still made my blood boil. “You said you’re not in it for the money, so there must be another reason, right?” He should know better than to bring up money at this point. My voice was laced with intimidation, and Kyle averted his gaze. “Well, uh….” His red eyes wavered uneasily. I could almost hear the sound…

TCWO - Chapter 89 Follow-up: The Grand Duke and Duchess, Their Love Shines Bright Even in the Grip of Darkness! Who Threatens Their Beautiful Romance? I experienced a momentary lag. It wasn’t because his pronunciation was unclear or because I couldn’t hear, but it took quite some time for me to process his words. “So…” I asked, adjusting the spoon that had slipped from my hand, “Are you… worried about me?” “You state the obvious.” The response came immediately, simple and…

TCWO - Chapter 86 “Ambush at the Resort! Who Are the Evil Forces Targeting the Grand Duke and Duchess?” “Y-Your Highness! The Grand Duchess is still…!” “This way is off-limits…!” Without even knocking, the door was flung open as the princess burst into the room, followed by servants wearing flustered expressions. “Move, move, out of my way!” The princess skillfully dodged them all. “Grand Duchess, Grand Duchess! Are you okay? Hwaaah!” As she clung to the bed sheet, tears and…

TCWO - Chapter 87 Although my body had already recovered, I ended up staying two more days at the secondary palace due to the excessive concern of those around me, especially Vivi. It was only after that that I was finally able to return to the Grand Duke’s residence. After returning, I thought I might finally be free from all the nursing care, but that was just wishful thinking. Perhaps the news had spread widely, even reaching the Grand Duke’s household, because the remaining servants were fussing…

TCWO - Chapter 84 It all happened in an instant. Ian’s eyes widened, and as soon as I escaped from the mage’s grasp, he moved. In the blink of an eye, Ian closed the distance and swung his sword. Sshhk. With a sickening sound, the mage’s head rolled across the ground. He hadn’t even been able to scream. “Ugh.” Instinctively, I squeezed my eyes shut and turned my head. My entire body trembled, my heart pounding as if it had become the only thing keeping me alive. ‘I-I really almost…

TCWO - Chapter 85 “Instead of standing, why don’t you sit down? My neck hurts looking at you.” I gestured toward Ian. “Duke?” “…Yes.” Still seeming somewhat disoriented, he reluctantly sat in the chair by the bed, following my cue. Though he was complying with the patient’s request, his expression didn’t look good. ‘I can see exactly what you’re thinking.’ By now, this fragile man was probably feeling a deep sense of responsibility and guilt about my injury. He must be…

TCWO - Chapter 82 I was dumbfounded as Ian naturally held out his hand, asking for my wrist. When I remained frozen, he tilted his head and gently took my wrist himself, slipping the bracelet onto it with a calm touch. “Since you’re right-handed, it’s best to wear it on your left wrist.” The white shell reflected the lights above, shimmering softly. Ian glanced down at my wrist and, in his usual detached manner, commented, “It’s pretty.” “…What?” I stammered, and only then did he…

TCWO - Chapter 83 “…Are we being followed?” Suddenly, here? Unlike me, who was flustered, Ian calmly scanned the surroundings, speaking in a composed tone. “It happens occasionally. I expected it. Since I accompanied His Majesty to the separate palace, the Emperor’s faction must be displeased. As you know, they see me as a dangerous figure.” “…” “Still, I thought they’d ambush us on the way back. This is a bit earlier than I expected.” …What is he even talking about? I…

TCWO - Chapter 80 ‘As expected…’ It was such a cold and sharp response, it felt almost awkward. While I knew that Ian hadn’t yet realized his feelings for Diana during this period, even taking that into account, his attitude seemed a bit too much. ‘Diana basically ran away because of you, you idiot!’ Suppressing the urge to smack him upside the head, I asked, “If you weren’t that close, then what kind of relationship did you have?” Ian hesitated for a moment before responding after…
