WBWB | Chapter 38
The letters made me feel connected to my past life, which I thought I had lost forever. From the day I received them, I carried them with me everywhere, rereading them whenever I had a moment. 'I miss them.' Reading the letters, I could almost hear their voices, and a pang of longing resonated in my heart. Would there be another chance to send a letter? Perhaps. Things were always easier the second time around. And so, I started writing my replies. Meanwhile, time passed, and the day of my…-

WBWB | Chapter 37
We whispered to each other and then stood up abruptly. After that, we spent time practicing basic steps, looking back and forth between our reflections in the mirror and the instructor's feet. "Teacher, even though it was our first lesson, it was so much fun! Especially because I'm with you! Thank you so much for recommending this lesson to His Grace!" After the lesson, Lady Ana's eyes sparkled with excitement, but I felt only emptiness. 'I have to do this again?' I had discovered that I had…-

WBWB | Chapter 36
Lost in such thoughts, I didn't realize how late it had gotten. ‘A year has already passed, just like that?’ A year had gone by, without fireworks, without Young Master Mael. I couldn't believe I was already starting my second year in this completely different life. And with my thoughts consumed by the Duke, no less. * * * The following year, Lady Ana got a dance instructor. Lady Ana's dance instructor was a retired dancer and teacher from the Royal Dance Academy, a professional dance…-

WBWB | Chapter 35
Baldr valued the iron mines that produced weapons above all else, but suddenly, the amethyst mines, which he had never paid much attention to, came to mind and wouldn't leave. How beautiful would she look adorned with amethysts in her hair, on her ears and neck, and around her wrists? Baldr had never cared for jewels before. They were just colorful stones, so what use were they? That had been the extent of his appreciation. But the moment he fell in love, he realized something. That some things…-

WBWB | Chapter 34
“Well, there's no harm in learning anything. I’ll look for a dance instructor. Anything else?” “Um, are there any specific subjects I should focus on more with the young lady?” “What do you mean?” “Like a particular foreign language, or the history of a specific country or dynasty... anything I should pay special attention to...” The Duke wasn't going to reveal Lady Ana's potential betrothed to a mere tutor. If such information leaked, other noble families with daughters of…-

Ana. Truthfully, he couldn't think of any other reason to have dinner with the tutor every week. * * * ‘Have dinner together every Friday to discuss Lady Ana’s education?’ I had been summoned unexpectedly and greeted with a strange request. ‘If that's the reason, wouldn't it be more efficient to have those dinners with Lady Ana herself?' After learning that Lady Ana could now read and write, the Duke had completely entrusted her education to me, seemingly placing his full trust in…-

WBWB | Chapter 32
'Even if it's not entirely true...?' That thought stirred something within Baldr. 'Should I have not read those letters?' In the darkness, he opened and closed his eyes repeatedly. 'But inspecting an exile's letters is a guarantor's duty, isn't it?' Of course, Baldr had never personally bothered with such a trivial task, like inspecting the letters of the exiles who came to his territory. Well, to be honest, he would be lying if he said he wasn’t curious about what she had…-

WBWB | Chapter 31
That night, Lady Ana cried herself to sleep in my arms. I stroked her hair and kissed her forehead until her breathing evened out. But the truth was, I wanted to cry too. 'I miss them...' I simply wanted to cry along with Lady Ana. It was late at night when Lady Ana finally drifted off to sleep. Her warm body against mine almost lulled me to sleep as well. I wiped her tear-stained face and stepped out of the room. The hallway was dark, as expected. The servants would be asleep by now. I held…-

WBWB | Chapter 30
While Baldr stood frozen, the maids took the freezing Ana and Jeanne, submerged them in warm water, and massaged their arms and legs. Ana quickly regained consciousness, but Jeanne didn't. As soon as Ana came to her senses, she began to weep. Baldr questioned her about what had happened. ‘I went to the lake with Teacher to slide. But the ice broke, and it's all my fault. I begged Teacher to go. Teacher saved me. She brought a branch, and she gave me her coat, and she told me to sing, to keep……-

Would he have felt sad if his mother had hugged him tightly even once? He would never know. What surprised Baldr happened next. His father, always calm and composed, became an empty shell of a man. After his mother's death, his father lived like a walking corpse until the day he died. Only then did Baldr realize that his father had loved his mother.
