TNBTW | Episode 24
If there’s a hill nearby, it is undoubtedly the haven for a lonely child. Edith clearly remembered a passage she’d read long ago as a child, tucked away in the corner of a library—a memory that had outlasted even the book’s title. ‘Hmm, it should be around here…’ Ascending a hill overlooking the orphanage, Edith soon spotted a towering oak tree. The enormous tree, with its elongated leaves and clusters of tiny acorns, stretched out its thick and low-hanging branches—perfect for…-

TNBTW | Episode 23
‘I know that feeling all too well.’ The familiar scene pulled Edith into the tides of her own memories, and for a moment, she let herself drift in the current of nostalgia. ‘Sister, is it Christmas today?’ ‘Christmas is in December, silly. It’s June now.’ ‘But there are so many presents piled up in the director’s office! Come on, I’ll show you!’ Her little sister, chattering like a sparrow, had eagerly tugged her into the hallway. The sight of her was still…-

TNBTW | Episode 22
From their previous encounter, Edith had expected the young lady’s favorability toward her to have plummeted to the negatives, so she wouldn’t have been surprised if her invitation was outright rejected. Yet, contrary to expectations, the young lady responded positively. With this, all invitees had sent their confirmations of attendance. Recalling when Bill first taught her about invitations and mentioned how replies often went unanswered unless it was to decline, Edith felt this was an…-

TNBTW | Episode 21
Hosting a tea party was a duty that every noblewoman had to fulfill, and Edith was no exception. It was this very tradition that had motivated her to memorize the social registry long before her marriage. “I was planning to discuss the guest list with you anyway. I've already organized it, so let me bring it to you now!” “There’s no need to exert unnecessary effort for that either.” Just as Edith turned, thinking it was a timely opportunity to finalize her task, Skyle firmly stopped her.…-

TNBTW | Episode 20
*** As the guests departed after the wedding banquet, the warm glow of dusk began to settle over the manor. ‘I can’t imagine going through this twice.’ Edith sighed as she soaked in the hot bath, letting its heat ease her fatigue. A sham marriage was exhausting enough—how taxing would a real one be? No matter how much she thought about it, the idea of doing this again seemed impossible. ‘And yet, we didn’t even do much for the banquet… and I’m this worn out.’ She had been…-

TNBTW | Chapter 19
The ever-dutiful steward Bill had once retrieved a Social Registry for the fledgling duchess, who was about to encounter high society for the first time. The registry was a compendium of the key figures of the social elite, complete with portraits and succinct summaries of their backgrounds. For nobles who had been part of this world since childhood, it was a trivial document. But for Edith, who had been a noble in title only, it was immensely useful. ‘That gentleman is the second son of the…-

TNBTW | Episode 18
Edith stepped onto the pure white carpet and momentarily regretted how carelessly she had taken things in the past. The man walking toward her from the far end of the aisle, Skyle, shimmered so brilliantly that he seemed as though he might merge with the light and vanish at any moment. ‘Should I have done something—taken some kind of measure?’ In truth, Edith had no particular dream or romantic ideal about weddings. It wasn’t just that she had never planned for marriage before—it was…-

TNBTW | Episode 17
In the aristocratic circles, the influence of society newsletters was considerable. It didn’t take long for everyone in the palace to learn about Duke Devion’s newfound romance. “The Duke of Devion, getting married? The banquet halls will overflow with tear-soaked handkerchiefs.” “It seems fate always has its own plans.” ‘“But has anyone even heard of the Brussels Barony before? This is the first I’ve heard of them.” “Well, that’s probably why he’s marrying her. No…-

TNBTW | Episode 16
Ah. It was at that moment Edith realized for the first time that the Duke had an exceptionally pleasant voice. She hadn’t noticed it before, distracted as she was by his overwhelming appearance and peculiar way of speaking, but the Duke’s voice carried a rich, deep timbre that was soothing to the ears. It wasn’t until he spoke her name—not a sentence she had to ponder over—that the quality of his voice struck her fully. “By your reasoning, I suppose I should call you by your name as…-

TNBTW | Episode 15
Knock. Knock. “Did you enjoy your conversation?” Edith wanted to ask why he phrased it like that, but the sudden knock at the door cut her short. As her small lips closed weakly, the Duke's gaze, which had fleetingly landed on her, shifted away just as quickly. Edith could only stare blankly as the door creaked open. ‘Was I too intrusive?’ That evening, Edith lay on her side, clutching a large pillow close to her chest, lost in thought. She hadn’t even managed to ask the…-
