      TCWO – Chapter 43 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 43 I waved my arms in the air as if to dispel the memories of that day that were clouding my mind. “Madam…? Are you all right?” “Huh? It’s nothing.” I smiled softly at Vivi, who was looking at me with concern. ‘Get a grip!’ I was just momentarily flustered because Ian suddenly got up close without warning and used his charm on me. I’m weak to good looks, that’s all. I definitely didnotfeel a flutter in my heart at that moment because of Ian. Nope. Even if every…

      TCWO – Chapter 44 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 44 After the chaotic and disruptive breakfast, I hurriedly escaped the dining hall as if fleeing. ‘What kind of change of heart did he have yesterday?’ I thought that turning Ian into a proper person would only make me proud, but now that his attitude had suddenly shifted, I felt more bewildered than anything else. Ian Cloud reading a newsletter? I couldn’t even begin to imagine what he’d think of the articles being posted in real-time. ‘No, maybe it’s a good…

      TCWO – Chapter 41 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 41 Ian tapped the heel of the shoe that wasn’t on his foot against the floor and said. “They say giving someone shoes as a gift means you want them to go to a good place.” After a brief pause, Ian asked “What place would that be?” “Oh, a good job, a good home, a good person… in a broad sense.” Isn’t that why in old movies, the male protagonist sometimes gives shoes to a lover when they part ways? I shrugged lightly, thinking of the sayings associated with shoes and…

      TCWO – Chapter 42 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 42 Ian, who had been rummaging through documents, looked up. “His Majesty?” “Yes. The princess’s birthday is approaching, and it seems he has many questions for the both of you. You should prepare yourselves.” ‘So the rumors circulating among the nobles after the visit to the Brilluze estate have already reached the imperial court.’ It wasn’t unusual for the Emperor to be overly interested in his half-brother, and now, with the princess showing interest in Eloise, it…

      TCWO – Chapter 39 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 39 The place we arrived at by carriage was Rilton Street, the largest shopping district and the heart of the capital. As it was a Saturday morning, people were already bustling from the entrance of the shopping district. Even through the carriage window, I could see people stopping in their tracks and whispering when they saw the carriage marked with the insignia of the Duke’s mansion. “You said you’re not one to care much about others’ gazes,…

      TCWO – Chapter 4 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 4 I was deep in thought. “Hmmm.” ‘The plan is certainly impeccable, but….’ “This is more serious than I thought.” After observing for a few days, I realized that Ian and Eloise truly had a relationship worse than that of strangers. Aside from breakfast, they never encountered each other, and even when they did, conversations were cut short by Ian Cloud’s sharp attitude, rarely lasting beyond three sentences. At this rate, I could see a future where I’d be completely…

      TCWO – Chapter 40 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 40 “It seems you’re treating practice as if it’s the real thing, my lady.” His voice was as calm and flat as ever, but I could tell. He was deliberately trying to tease me. As proof, Ian Cloud’s face looked subtly displeased, quite the opposite of his indifferent tone. ‘So, should I really go on a date with you? I’m not even Diana.’ I wanted to say that, but… It was true that I had gotten carried away on this outing after such a long time, so instead of arguing back,…

      TCWO – Chapter 37 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 37 As I had heard from the ladies before, below the main text was a blank space under the small heading ‘Opinion Section.’ No, to be precise, it was a space thathad beenblank. The reason for using the past tense was that it was now densely packed with all sorts of writing. Not only that, but I could see new opinions still popping up every few seconds. -Is this for real? -I saw it myself, and it was true. The Grand Duke openly kissed the back of the Grand Duchess’s hand. -No…

      TCWO – Chapter 38 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 38 “This weekend?” Ian set down his spoon and asked again at my sudden suggestion. I curved my lips into a smooth smile and nodded confidently at him. “Yes.” Of course, if it’s Ian, he would undoubtedly refuse, but today I was prepared with about ten reasons that he couldn’t say no to. With the Aria newsletter paying so much attention to us, wouldn’t it be a waste to stay quiet? ‘Let’s see if you can run away from this.’ While I was getting ready to quickly…

      TCWO – Chapter 35 Cover
      by Ayaka TCWO - Chapter 35 The one who had caught me was an unfamiliar man. He had moved so quickly to grab me that his curly red hair was right next to my forehead, brushing against it as it swayed. Looking just as surprised as I was, the man blinked rapidly and asked “Are you hurt anywhere?” It was only after I heard his question that I realized I had been holding my breath the whole time. Releasing the tension in my lips, which I had unconsciously bitten down on, I nodded. “…Oh, no. I’m…
