There was no warning at all. The transformation of ‘Kang Min-joo,’ living in South Korea, into ‘Estelle Blanche’ happened in an instant. It all began when she found herself lying in an antique bed after regaining consciousness. - “My dear, you’ve finally woken up!” - “Oh, my goodness. Valdash! Thank you, thank you!” It was as if she were on the set of a drama. Seeing the parents, dressed in what could only be described as costumes from a movie, clinging to her and weeping, Estelle…-

As Estelle's maids behind her held their breath with horrified expressions, Estelle alone confidently held her head high. Natasha glanced at Claude's complexion. As expected, his face had turned icy. It was as if the soft expression he had worn earlier, influenced by Estelle's spring-like atmosphere, had been a lie. "That can't happen." "Your position is secure now. Getting a divorce from me won't shake it." So that's what it was—Claude's contract marriage with Estelle must have served this…

According to Dorothy, the Duke of Richard always stopped by the glass garden whenever he returned from the Imperial Palace. "So, the Duke will definitely pass by here today as well. Since Tasha probably doesn’t know how to deal with the Duke yet, I’ll clean the outer corridor today." Though she gave a plausible excuse, the sparkling look in her eyes revealed her true intentions. 'Does she like the Duke? Or perhaps admire him?' It didn’t matter either way. Dorothy was planning to be sick…

Robert Dumont was the chief steward who had worked for a long time at the House of Duke Richard, managing most of the staff and affairs within the household. Following the recent assassination attempt that had been uncovered thanks to the Duchess of Richard, he had spent sleepless nights thoroughly re-investigating the backgrounds of the servants. As a result, he had dismissed anyone who showed even the slightest suspicion, leading to a temporary shortage of manpower. So much so that he was desperate…

After Estelle left, Natasha immediately grabbed her outerwear. There was a place she needed to go. As far as Natasha knew, there was only one person who could write her a recommendation letter to become a maid at the Duke of Richard's household. Although she had connections with other noblewomen, only one person could write such a letter for a matter as dangerous as the current one, which could result in her beheading if she wasn't careful. Natasha climbed into the carriage and informed the coachman of…

“Oh, it's not about trying to kill him. You'd probably have to sell a mine just to put in a request to assassinate the Duke.” Natasha chose her words carefully, considering Estelle’s pocketbook, which, though full of gold, likely didn’t contain enough to buy an entire mine. “Of course, if you can afford it, I think the death of a spouse is as good a reason for a breakup as any.” “That’s not death; that’s murder...” “There's not much difference between death and divorce, is there?…

Estelle was momentarily convinced she had misheard. "Pardon?" "Ivan." When Natasha called his name, Ivan rummaged through a drawer and pulled out an item. It was wrapped in fine fabric, which he handed to Estelle with respect. "This is...." Rustle. When she unwrapped the cloth, she found a beautifully crafted hair ornament adorned with jewels. "It's a recorder." "This?" "You need something that decorative to hide it in a lady's outfit." It was undoubtedly something that an ordinary person could…

"First, when Madam was Lady Blanche, I wrote a couple of those many complaints that were sent. So, I should at least know the face of the accused." Natasha set aside her teacup and continued. "Secondly, the fabric of that garment is too fine for a mere servant. But since it’s not adorned with flashy patterns, it’s just right for a noble on a covert mission." At those words, the lady flinched and clutched at her clothes. "Lastly, the crest of the Duke of Richard's family is engraved on the uniform…

"Look at this. Romanoff really went all out this time, huh?" Natasha read through the weekly magazine with an exaggerated tone. "Listen to this: 'Has the Duchess of Richard completely cleaned up her arrogant past? All the swirling rumors seem to have vanished since she got married. Could it be the power of love, or is it the power of the House of Richard? One can’t help but wonder...’ This is pretty much an insult to her face." "Well, it’s the 'Duchess of Richard' after all." "That’s…

Bang, bang, bang! The sound of the gavel echoed crisply through the room. Natasha loved this noise. It would not be an exaggeration to say she almost loved it. “Considering Count Velocita's negligence towards his family, the excessive burden the Countess had to bear alone, and the ridiculously low maintenance funds allocated to the Countess, it is determined that the cause of this family's breakdown lies with Count Velocita.” The judge recited the verdict in a steady voice. She could see the…
