WBWB | Chapter 16
From his office, he could clearly see the sea-breeze-driven, moisture-laden clouds rolling towards the courtyard. The tutor, leaning against a tree trunk on the hill in the garden, remained motionless. Her horse grazed nearby. 'She must be asleep.' If she got caught in the rain, she would catch a cold, which would disrupt her lessons. 'She's a lot of trouble.' That was why Baldr had left his office and mounted his horse as soon as he saw the rain clouds. But come to think of it,…-

WBWB | Chapter 15
The lakeshore, the deer habitat, and the forest, all unreachable on foot, were now easily accessible. Life is truly unpredictable. Last year at this time, I couldn't have imagined being here. When I received my exile sentence, I just wanted to die. And when I arrived here, I was indeed near death. And until recently, I was drowning in sadness. But now? I was starting to like this place. Unbelievably. Although the autumn weather in Skadi was fickle, changing more than three times a day,…-

WBWB | Chapter 14
Confused by the increasingly strange situation, I hastily shook my head. “I’m truly grateful for the offer, but… even if I were to learn how to ride, what use would it be? As an exile, I have nowhere to go even if I could ride, and above all, even if there were a place to go… I have neither the money nor the ability to care for a horse.” That was precisely why horseback riding was considered a basic skill for nobles. Yet, the Duke seemed puzzled by my words. "The stablehands take care of…-

WBWB | Chapter 13
What difference was there between that and death? 'I've lost everything.' On days when I missed my loved ones terribly, I cried. 'I've lost everything. What's the point of living like this?' I soaked my pillow with tears, wondering what reason I had to live here. I couldn’t figure it out, not yet. After such nights, when the sun rose, I would wake up with swollen eyes and run a few more laps than the Duke had ordered. I didn't know why, but the pain lessened after running. So,…-

WBWB | Chapter 12
I can do this. I reassured myself and went out to the training grounds. As I appeared, the soldiers who had already been running in the distance—a far greater number than I had anticipated—noticed me and began murmuring to each other in surprise. "Silence! Who's chattering!" Soon enough, startled by the Duke’s loud command who was running from the front, they fell silent. But the very person responsible for this situation, His Grace the Duke, passed by me without so much as a…-

WBWB | Chapter 11
And during every meal, I would sit Lady Ana on my lap, hold her hands from behind, and slowly teach her how to use the cutlery, one by one, just like I did with my younger sister in the past. The most important thing at this time was to praise her lavishly for even small successes and not scold her for mistakes. Many people believe that sparing the rod spoils the child, but my sister had a strong sense of pride and would refuse to do anything if she made too many mistakes. And more than anything,…-

WBWB | Chapter 10
What Baldr wanted from her wasn't simple manual labor, like transcribing texts or carrying stones. If she felt she wasn't being compensated for her work, resentment would build, leading to negligence, which would ultimately harm him and his adopted daughter. Baldr pondered hard for a solution to this situation. "Has your family ever dealt with Golden Shield Bank?" Banking was prevalent in various places, but its services were limited to noble families, merchants, and royalty, not individuals.…-

WBWB | Chapter 1
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…-
