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…- 1.5 K • Apr 30, '25

WBWB | Chapter 56
“When I ascend to the throne, I want to offer you…” "..." "...the position of Maîtresse-en-titre." His words froze me in place. "Please stay by my side, always." A shiver ran down my entire body. I stared at the Crown Prince, speechless. It was as if scales had fallen from my eyes. “Did you truly not know? That I’ve loved you for a long time?” The boy I knew seemed to have transformed into a completely unfamiliar man. “I’ve loved you since the first moment I saw…-

My mother and sister were speechless at the sight of the royal gifts. The second box I opened contained something even more astonishing. My sister silently stared at the contents of the box for a long moment, then looked at me. I looked back at her, her expression clearly asking, 'What's your relationship with him?' "I know what you're thinking… but it's a misunderstanding." It was understandable that they would be suspicious. “He must have felt guilty about my exile. He probably wanted to…-

Why had someone from the palace come all this way to personally escort me in a royal carriage, when simply delivering the pardon would have sufficed? And why had the Crown Prince, whom I had never met, sent the carriage? “His Majesty, after the mourning period, has appointed Prince Mael as the new Crown Prince.” It was because Young Master Mael had become ‘His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince.’ “Therefore… His Royal Highness eagerly awaits the day he can be reunited with you…-

I couldn’t say anything in response to the Princess's words. “Was I too blunt? Or are you perhaps hesitant because you harbor feelings for the Duke? If it’s the latter, it would be better for me to be his wife than some other woman. I’m not the type to be consumed by anger and jealousy after losing my husband to a mistress. Why don’t we share the Duke? And you can share my lovers as well. We’ll be good friends.” As I listened to her words, I realized. 'Those rumors are all…-

Summer passed, and the Duke returned. As expected, I didn't get a chance to see him after he returned. Still, I felt relieved just knowing he was back. If he had been seriously injured, I would have heard about it. Wouldn't I? Probably. ...There would have been a great commotion in the mansion. Even as I reassured myself with that thought, I couldn't shake off a lingering anxiety. What if he had returned injured, even if not seriously? But I had no way of knowing. My days continued as usual, even…-

WBWB | Chapter 42
Having a lover wasn't considered a flaw, even if you were married; in fact, not having one was seen as a sign of lacking charm. Young noblemen, even those engaged or married, often flirted with me. Of course, their fiancées and wives also had their own lovers. It was a disillusioning sight, even if marriage was just a contract between families. I kept a tight rein on my emotions, refusing to succumb to such temptations. And until now, no one had been able to loosen those tightly held reins. No…-

His desire to bury himself within her overwhelmed him after he'd covered her delicate skin with a flurry of bite marks. He pulled her legs together and pressed them against her stomach. He lowered himself onto her, his gaze devouring her. Seeing her eyes tremble with fear and a flicker of anticipation, he slowly pushed inside. Her eyes widened, her mouth opened, a moan escaping her lips. Warm, wet, slick flesh clung to him. He gritted his teeth. And he moved. Wanting to savor this feeling…-

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 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…-
