MGN | Chapter 9
Felix Henri Pierre de Broglie, the crown prince destined to become Monaco’s next grand duke. Maël had one impression of him: a typical aristocrat. And Maël’s definition of an aristocrat wasn’t lengthy. People who, aside from waving silently at official events, were shockingly rude. To elaborate, the longer the titles stuck to their names, the less they understood the virtue of consideration. Yet, they were somehow acceptable beings. “Yves, how did you get into guys? Is it fun? I heard…-

“You think you know them well, but in the end, you realize you don’t know them at all. That’s how it always ends.” “What do you know, oppa? You’ve never even been married!” It was a doubt he heard endlessly at work too. How could he sincerely handle divorce cases when he’d never been married himself? But Maël knew. Those blinded by love couldn’t truly see their partners. Those who came claiming their partner had changed after marriage were simply those who missed what they…-

MGN | Chapter 7
In Monaco, where demand is so high that new buildings are under construction every day, it's a thirty-minute drive. Maël lived in Nice, France, commuting across the border. “Living in Nice? There?” Monaco folks, who disliked leaving the country unless flying a private jet, always widened their eyes when he mentioned his address. But even so, Maël had no intention of changing the home he barely secured after paying off his father's gambling debts. Even though Nice was a famous French…-

It was an unexpected blow. From the files, Maël seemed to cherish his only sister dearly. Mentioning her pregnancy should have made Maël come in with his head bowed. But then. "Rejecting the proposal without even listening properly?" Yves froze for a moment, then laughed in disbelief. The lawyer, perhaps sensing the irritation seeping through, put on a businesslike smile. "It's not because of my luck, is it? That's just an excuse. Especially since you know about your sister's…-

MGN | Chapter 5
Since Yves banned knocking, his secretary Mikola made a point of opening the door loudly, as if to be heard. Yet, the office door handle on the 5th floor of the Riviera Hotel moved smoothly without a sound. Maybe it was because they spent a fortune on it, unlike the previous office. The Riviera Hotel chain business, started by the Grand Duke's family, was a ridiculous comedy of losses. Yves couldn't tear his eyes away from the report, utterly baffled, when Mikola approached and handed him a black file.…-

"A lawsuit isn't a gamble." I regretted saying it as soon as it left my mouth. The man might have been a brute at the casino, but here he was a client. I considered apologizing but just sat down instead. Almost simultaneously, the man spoke. "I got some recommendations. They say Maël Montmatier is a lucky charm at the casino and the only knight for Cinderellas in court." "It's Maël Moon, and you can call me Maël." I corrected him, dropping the latter part of my surname, but he didn't ask…-

MGN | Chapter 3
"Yves!" The man called by the crown prince naturally took a seat next to Maël. Standing beside him, it was clear. The man in the black suit, as if it had swallowed all colors, was astonishingly tall. Maël looked up at his brazen face and then at the piece of paper on the table. "Are you sure about this? This isn't even poker. If it's not the number Maël picked, you'll lose everything." "Losing once might not be so bad." The man's insolent informal speech drew uncomfortable glances. Crown…-

"Give me the pen." Maël blinked in confusion before reacting a beat too late. "Are you crazy?" At his angry words, Manon finally turned her head. Her gaze was so firm it felt like his heart was sinking. He thought she’d realized by now. Every marriage is ultimately a contract, and Manon was on the verge of a particularly nasty one. Yet she was still going through with it. "Are you scared? Is that why? It’s really not a big deal. Breaking off an engagement sounds huge, but people forget…-

“What’s all that about?” “A gift. Remember when I said I wished you could get married too? Since I wouldn’t have a real family once I left, His Highness the Hereditary Prince remembered and said that!” “So... His Highness the Grand Duke won’t use his veto on the law anymore?” “Yep! It’s a gift!” No matter how influential a family is in a country, changing a nation’s law as a wedding gift for the eldest son seemed absurd. ‘Is the law a joke?’ I was more…-

MGN | Chapter 21
The contract was filled with signatures on every page, as if guaranteeing the listed terms. It was no different from the final prenuptial agreement Maël had sent last. Except for one thing. The name of the contractor was written above Manon's childishly round signature. Maël bit his lip and opened his phone. He checked the attachments in the last email he sent to the Grand Duke's legal team. The contract appeared on the screen. After fumbling a few times with trembling hands, Maël finally…-
