ETDO Chapter 41
Arthur patted Ethan on the shoulder and hurried out of the box with his secretary. Ethan, after seeing Arthur off with a deliberate affectionate farewell, closed the door firmly and turned to me. With the light from the bright hallway blocked, only the dim interior lights illuminated the box. Ethan grabbed a chair and wedged its back firmly under the doorknob, securing it. Then, slowly undoing his bow tie, he began to approach me. His movements were relaxed and unhurried, like a male lion approaching…-

ETDO Chapter 40
As Mary responded in a meek voice, Lisa's still-cheerful voice chimed in. “He bought it when he accompanied the Duke to his territory during that emergency. He said it was a local specialty. I heard he searched the whole town to find one she'd like! Mr. Richard is so proactive, it's a shame Mary just…!” “Lisa! Stop it!” Mary clapped a hand over the chattering Lisa’s mouth and bowed her head. “I apologize, Madam.” Smiling to put Mary at ease, I patted her shoulder lightly and…-

ETDO Chapter 39
Mary gulped, her gaze fixated on the clinking pouch. Inside her, a fierce battle raged between personal greed and loyalty to her mistress. A maid's life was an endless string of arduous toil from early morning till late at night, and most of the time, the treatment was extremely poor. This was to be expected, as the elegant lives of the nobility were maintained by exploiting the labor of their servants. And this tendency was even more pronounced among the nouveau riche gentry. Those not born into…-

A heavy rain was pouring outside. It had been fine when we arrived. While Mary asked the doorman to call for the Beaufort carriage, I stepped slightly under the eaves to look outside. The streets in the bustling city center were well-paved, but not all roads were. Would the carriage be able to travel properly in this downpour? I looked around, worried, as people hurriedly took refuge in buildings to avoid the rain. “Lily!” Startled by my name being called through the rain, I looked…-

ETDO Chapter 37
Seeing him standing there with his loose shirt unbuttoned to his chest, hands tucked into the pockets of his light summer trousers, I suddenly realized that I had been waiting for Ethan all day since yesterday. He asked, “Can you swim?” “No,” I paused for a moment, then asked, “Can you teach me?” Ethan nodded and grinned. “How about now?” Seeming surprised at my words that the swimming lesson would start immediately, he tilted his head. “Here?” “The weather is…-

Pretending to hand my champagne glass to a nearby servant, I stealthily glanced towards Ethan and Lady Wellington. For some reason, both of their expressions were serious. Acting as if I hadn't seen anything, I picked up a new glass and slowly walked toward Arthur. “Lily, aren't you drinking a bit too much today? I'm a little worried…” “I’m fine. I can still handle it, Arthur.” I sat down beside him and gently slipped my arm around his. As Arthur smiled and kissed my forehead, the…-

ETDO Chapter 35
Arthur didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. He put on his usual polite smile and replied, “The victory is practically guaranteed, so I should have a celebratory drink.” The Crown Prince chuckled and offered his glass to Arthur. They clinked glasses, smiled, and took a large sip. The Crown Prince’s gaze which had been wandering lazily over the field where the final match was taking place, lingered on Court 3. In a low, somewhat somber voice, he murmured, “Those two… they…-

ETDO Chapter 34
The rules of the game were relatively simple. The teams took turns, in a predetermined order, hitting their balls through the hoop wickets. The first team to hit the final stake (the final target) won. The skill of hitting the wooden balls with the mallet, however, was more challenging. The distance between the wickets stuck in the lawn was considerably farther than it appeared. This meant that accurately judging the correct distance and applying the appropriate force required a more skilled technique.…-

ETDO Chapter 33
Eventually, we didn’t delay any longer and hurried back to the Duke’s residence. Having heard the whole story, the Crown Prince and Princess expressed their concern and wished me a speedy recovery. I later learned that Arthur had originally planned to have the winning horse and jockey brought over for me to see. However, coincidentally, the incident that day fortuitously thwarted this plan, and I couldn’t help but feel inwardly relieved. In truth, even without that incident, I had no desire to…-

ETDO Chapter 32
“You’re going to bet on the racehorses?” Arthur nodded. “You can bet on any horse in any race. Of course, no one knows whether they’ll win or lose.” I momentarily wore a dubious expression. It was only natural, as the word “betting” automatically made me think of my father. Memories of the days we hid in the dilapidated shack and attic, with its straw-covered floor, flooded my mind. “It’s okay, Lily. We’re just doing it for fun, this one time only. With Ethan and…-
