WBWB | Chapter 28
'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. Not only that, but she could also serve as a mother figure to Lady Ana. So, I…” But even as I spoke, I felt a sense of unease. "I hope Your Grace hasn't given up on the possibility of finding an intelligent and kind woman as your…-

He seemed to have realized he had revealed too much. I nodded silently. 'So that's why he commented on my thin clothes.' At the same time, I understood why he had been so fixated on a mere tutor's attire. He had already experienced a similar situation. "So, have you thought about what you want?" The Duke changed the subject, as if trying to lighten the heavy atmosphere. "Yes." "Tell me." "I want to write a letter. Just one." "To whom?" he asked. “To Prince Mael?” Young…-

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…-

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. Even the simple act of soaking in the hot water was tiring. I thought I had built up some stamina, but just a few days in bed had weakened me again. Three people visited me that day.…-

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." Relieved by her words, I felt the warmth of the drink spread through my body and drifted back to sleep. As I slipped in and out of consciousness, I kept dreaming. I was…-

The whole world was snow and ice, sparkling like crystals in the sunlight. Some trees were bent over, their trunks nearly touching the ground under the weight of the ice. Everything was covered in a layer of snow and ice. The wind howled. ♪ When the Snow Queen comes in midwinter, ♪ The whole world shivers. ♪ The Queen in her jeweled ice dress, ♪ Descends in her crystal carriage.
