“I understand roughly what you're trying to say.” A somewhat positive response flowed from Dietrich. “But there's no need to add uncertainty just to prove a point.” That was all. His focus on practicality and efficiency was as businesslike as ever. He had always been this way since they first met. Unless he trusted someone, he would analyze others' words and weigh the benefits. His position as Margrave had only made his cold demeanor…-

Hoo A draft of night air flowed through the slightly open window. Every time the candle flickered and moved, the shadows cast on her face also trembled. "Does this mean the first night was a mistake?" "Fortunately, it's not like that." Dietrich turned his body and lifted the pillows that were gathered in one place. His scent lingered faintly like an echo where he had just passed. "If it’s an old man with a lot of suspicion,…

“……” For a moment, she was unable to speak. The overwhelming wave of emotions rose up, blocking her throat, leaving her unable to express anything. Contrary to her worries, the child appeared healthy. It was impressive that he had grown up well despite never been able to taste his mother's milk since he was born. ‘My child. My baby.’ She recalled the countless times she had gently caressed her round belly, the anticipation she…

“Then I’ll take it as your permission.” Tenesia gave a soft smile. “By the way, when is the family dinner? If I remember correctly, Margrave agreed to have dinner together once a week.” The questions kept coming, as if trying to fill in the five days of silence. Instead of answering, Dietrich turned his gaze to the butler. “Prepare dinner immediately.” “Understood.” He nodded as he watched the…

It was night, but Dietrich had not yet arrived. Even as Tenesia, exhausted from waiting, ate dinner alone, and while she was preparing for bed, the castle gates, which were firmly closed, did not open. She knew that the maids behind her were exchanging nervous glances, but she ignored it. Dietrich was a busy man. Even when she was Grace, it was common for him to return later than scheduled. So, there was nothing strange or worrying about the…

"Ah, no, I wasn’t going to slap her… I just wanted to touch my daughter a little more." It seemed that the Baroness finally realized where she was. She tried to excuse herself with an awkward justification, claiming her innocence. The knight continued holding her wrist until Tenesia finally told him it was okay to let go, which he did. "Tenesia, I didn’t raise you to put a nail in your mother’s heart like this." Her tone had softened…

It was a simple question, but Grace swallowed hard. Wouldn't any human naturally long for life? A desire to live just a little longer. A desire to hold her child, whom she had struggled to give birth to. Among all her desires, one person came to her mind. ‘Dietrich. My husband.’ Grace fluttered her eyelids, staring blankly into the air, and nodded faintly. She wanted to see her husband again. She wanted to send a message, asking him to return to the…

"Where is she now?" "I thought there would be an uproar if I didn’t let her in, so I’ve brought her into the hall for now, but…" "It’s fine. Just tell me everything." "…She says she won’t leave until she takes you with her." Tenesia stiffened her expression. "Where is Margrave now?" "Master usually goes to inspect the borderlands at this time. He’ll probably return around dinner." Unfortunately,…

‘Who needs me?’ If it weren’t for the breath tickling her ear, Tenesia would have thought she misheard. The warmth still lingered, almost as if it would melt her ear with its heat. Her husband misses her. It was such an absurd thought that she almost wondered if it was a misunderstanding. And the fact that it was true seemed even more surprising. ‘Dietrich... misses me?’ It must be because of her own guilt. She hadn’t really…

Tenesia had only thought of it lightly. After all, it was a two-year contract marriage. There was no need, nor reason, to hold a grand ceremony. She simply thought it would be fine to live as though she were a hostess, barely present, and then leave when the time came. However, the world was not so kind to Grace, nor to Tenesia. "I forgot I had to deceive the people here too." Tenesia swallowed a silent scream. No one, except the two of them, knew about…
