WBWB | Chapter 6
The duties were similar to when I taught the Viscount's daughter, so I didn't have many questions. "Where can I obtain teaching materials for the lessons?" "From the library, of course!" Madame Pauline beamed. "This mansion has almost as many books as the royal palace. Wait in your room, and I'll send someone to guide you to the library. If you need anything else for the young lady's education, please don't hesitate to ask. Do you have any other questions?" "No, thank you, Madame…-

WBWB | Chapter 5
As I began to tremble, the Duke observed my reaction and continued speaking. "Don't worry. The exiled nobles have it much better. You nobles are valuable assets who can read and write, aren't you? I've typically entrusted exiled nobles with tasks like drafting official documents and letters, and transcribing accounting records." In other words... 'So you've been using nobles exiled here due to political strife as scribes.' The Duke of Skadi's words meant he was making good use of the labor of…-

When I came out after bathing, the maid was gone, but clothes, a brush, and a hair tie were laid out on the bed. Touching the plain auburn dress, I noticed the fabric was much thicker than what I usually wore, likely due to the cold weather. Changing into the new clothes, I imagined what kind of treatment awaited me here. 'It certainly won't be good...' The dress that reached my ankles seemed to be made of good quality fabric, but it wasn't much different from the uniform and apron worn by the…-

'Wouldn't it be better to just die here?' At that time, my spirit was as weak as my dying body. 'Just like this... so naturally...' I was a member of the aristocratic world, even if only in name, and now I was suddenly reduced to an exile. My future was bleak, and living was more frightening than dying. 'If only I could die.' Wouldn't it be better to just die? As I thought this, the wet towel placed on my forehead kept getting warmer, and my consciousness flickered on and off.…-

WBWB | Chapter 2
But the young master was neither the Queen's son nor the firstborn. There is only one crown, and power does not desire rivals. That's why no one dared to teach Young Master Mael, and consequently, I, with my meager experience of tutoring the Viscount's daughter, ended up taking over the position. 'Will I be in danger after His Majesty passes away?' Despite my fear, I couldn't leave Young Master Mael's side. It wasn't just about the money, I also felt sorry for the young master, isolated in the royal…-

When a strong wind blocks our path while sailing, should we sit down and curse the wind, or should we hope that its direction will eventually change? I don't know the answer, but what I did was straighten the sails first. So that the wind wouldn't swallow the ship whole. Even if it meant breaking the unspoken rule of the aristocratic world. A noble serves the kingdom, not works for money. This was the foundation of the order that made up the aristocratic world. Many nobles desired positions…-

- A noble serves the kingdom, they don’t work for money. This was the absolute, unspoken rule of the aristocratic world. However, Jeanne de Toulouse, the eldest daughter of the venerable Toulouse count family, was different. She’d worked as a tutor for Young Master Mael, the son of His Majesty’s mistress, for two years. One day, books written by Enlightenment thinkers, known for disrupting the…
