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 9
Come to think of it, she had vomited during their first meal together. 'Why does she have such a gloomy expression? She can smile, too.' He also disliked the tutor's somber expression. When she was playing with his adopted daughter earlier, she had a bright smile, which looked much better than now. But people only smile when they have a reason to. Baldr didn't realize that he himself was the biggest reason for the tutor's gloomy expression. He had only summoned her here to praise…-

WBWB | Chapter 8
This wasn't the case in the territory ruled by Baldr. He scanned the woman with a cold gaze and told the escort, "I'll take care of the exile now. You may return." 'She won't last long, then. I thought they'd finally sent someone useful from Franc.' If he hadn't needed a tutor, he might have left Jeanne at the inn. But if this woman died, he had no other options. Although she didn't look promising, driven by the desire to provide his adopted daughter with a proper education, Baldr brought her…-

I placed the writing tools and test papers in front of my student. Lady Ana looked back and forth between the test papers and me, then bit her lower lip, her expression showing distress and helplessness. She hesitated, not even attempting to look at the test papers. I tilted my head. 'Is she trying to rebel? To break my spirit from the start?' But unlike the attitude of the Viscount's daughter, who had argued with me, ignored me, and picked fights until she learned about my connection to her…-

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…-

“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…-

WBWB | Chapter 55
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…-

WBWB | Chapter 54
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…-

"What is it?" The maid, unable to speak, tugged at my hand. "What's wrong? I'm in the middle of a lesson." The maid shook her head. “The royal palace! Someone from the palace is here and asking for you!” At her words, I felt the blood drain from my face. “Me? Why? For what reason?” My first thought was that it might be someone sent by the Princess. I had been worried that she might retaliate against my family in Franc after returning to the capital. "Just come!" Urged by…-

WBWB | Chapter 52
'Let's see how far she goes.' However, the reason Baldr tolerated the Princess's antics was because she was, after all, a temporary guest. She was royalty, an envoy sent by the King. The King was nominally his liege lord, so it wouldn't be wise to antagonize him. Baldr endured, indulging the Princess's every whim, pushing his patience to its limits. He accompanied her on walks, hunts, and tea parties. None of it brought him any pleasure, only a growing sense of irritation, because everything the…-
