SMFCV Chapter 28
Chapter 28. Proof of Love The blazing fire devoured the letters with relish. Forgetting her nakedness, Mine screamed and dashed toward the fireplace. She grabbed a vase and poured water over the flames, but the papers had already turned to black ash. Like a child who had lost her mother, she crouched before the hearth, sobbing. "What have you done? They were proof of our precious love!" "Proof, proof, proof." Even though he merely repeated a single word, it felt as if Neumonte had torn her heart…-

SMFCV Chapter 27
Chapter 27. The Notorious Freshman The central staircase leading to the attic was a spiral, illuminated by golden sunlight streaming through a wall of windows. Spring had arrived. In the gardens outside, lilac trees bloomed in soft shades of lavender, their fragrance almost teasingly wafting up as if it might somehow reach even here.

Chapter 26. Cruel Justice The clear stream glinted in the sunlight, refracting the rays like a shattered mirror. In some places, the light danced in rainbow hues. It was spring—the season when hibernating frogs awaken and leap into the water, scattering droplets in their wake. Yet, by the muddy banks of the stream, mounds of snow stubbornly lingered, piled as though marking graves for small creatures like pheasants or rabbits that children might have buried.

Chapter 24. A Win-Win I smiled inwardly. Finally, the game I had been setting up was in motion. “You mean the formula,” I said. “Yes. Name your price,” the Marquis replied. “No, I cannot sell the formula,” I responded firmly. A furrow appeared on the Marquis’s brow. A young person he had taken a liking to was now acting like a shrewd merchant, and he felt disappointed. However, I had no intention of haggling with him.

Chapter 23. A Mother’s Legacy That evening was much like any other. Despite eating a light, easily digestible meal, the Marquis of Ivelucia still felt bloated and uncomfortable. He hadn’t touched his favorite alcohol in years. Instead, he spent his time in the small study attached to their shared bedroom, reviewing manuscripts. Sunk into a deep green armchair the color of crushed leaves, the Marquis diligently marked up the pages in front of him. His red-inked pen slashed through sentences…-
