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…-

'If only a kind woman who recognizes his real worth appears...' "If this territory had a proper mistress, she could manage the affairs of this mansion and act as Your Grace’s representative, handling matters in your stead during your annual absences.

WBWB | Chapter 26
"I like that room." "Wouldn't you change your mind after moving to the new room? Try it out, and if you find it uncomfortable, tell me. I’ll have you moved back.” "I will." With even the Duke insisting, I had no choice. I nodded, and only then could I leave the library. 'But was he... always this talkative?' The next morning, as soon as I finished breakfast, Madame Pauline came and said she would show me my new room. I followed Madame Pauline to the new room assigned to me. It was…-

WBWB | Chapter 25
I turned my head and saw His Grace the Duke standing there. My heart pounded in my chest. It wouldn’t stop. Well, it couldn't stop, or I would die, but I was so startled, scared, and flustered that I felt like crying. "Yo-Your, Your..." "Your Your?" "Your Grace! Your Grace!" "I'm not two people, so you only need to say it once." I clutched my chest and took deep breaths, trying to calm down. But it was no use. It took a while for my heart to stop racing. "What brings you here, Your…-

“Unseemly? I don’t understand. Get some rest.” And with that, he stood up and left the room. The brief conversation had exhausted me. As soon as the Duke left, I collapsed back onto the sofa and fell asleep. It wasn't until the next day that I could finally have a proper meal and a bath. It had been a while.

WBWB | Chapter 23
What had happened to Lady Ana? As I lay there groaning, someone helped me sit up and poured something into my mouth. It was sour and warm. I opened my eyes and looked at the person. It was the young maid who took care of my room. "Ana?" A hoarse voice escaped my throat. “The young lady is fine. Please rest well."
