"Then I will guide you inside." Ariadeline began leading them toward the reception room. The young ladies followed her, looking around the mansion since it was their first time at the Duke of Denaves’ residence. ‘The mansion is magnificent.’ ‘Of course. It’s the Duchy of Denaves.’ They exchanged glances. They couldn’t find fault with the mansion like they usually do when criticizing someone. Then, all that was left were the servants who served Ariadeline. They walked, conscious of the…-

Dorothy Antrue was drinking tea and chatting with her friends on the terrace. The weather was sunny, and the young ladies, dressed in colorful dresses, were all beautiful and charming. At that moment, Dorothy quietly put down her teacup and spoke. "Have you heard the rumor?" "What rumor?" Dorothy smiled softly and brought her hands together next to her cheek. "The rumor about Ariadeline." ‘Ariadeline? ‘That’ Ariadeline?’ The young ladies of similar age focused their attention on Dorothy’s…

"I recognize her face. But I don’t think I’ve met her separately." "Hmm..." The maid hesitated, then started to share what she had learned. "Lady Dorothy of the Count of Antrue used to be close with Crown Princess Dorothea." "With Princess Dorothea?" Our original female lead? What’s going on? I feel uneasy. "So, there was an incident where Miss Ariadeline crossed paths with them, and it’s rumored that you caused them a major embarrassment and are still holding a grudge..." “Me? Embarrassed…

Rosana chuckled and turned her gaze sideways. Is this okay? "Madame? Madame!" "Oh, yes!" "What are you thinking about?" "Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about another fabric." “This fabric is more than enough. In fact, I don’t really need to make that many dresses.” Ariadeline spoke calmly. Rosana looked at her once more. Ariadeline, wearing the pale yellow dress she had made, looked very beautiful. The small ribbons on her chest blended well with her blonde hair, making her look even…

'For the dress she’s wearing now, it would be better to emphasize the waistline more, and for the blue dress earlier, it would be good to expose more of the shoulders.’ Now that such a lovely model was wearing the dresses, the flaws started to become more apparent. Rosana could feel her creative passion igniting for the first time in a long while. 'Since it has come to this, I might as well enjoy it.’ She made up her mind and pulled out a notebook and pen. She wanted to jot down notes on the…

"What do you mean?" "Well, you're no longer a married man. And since you don't have an heir, you could even remarry." "I haven't thought about that yet, so it's fine." "Of course, you're still young. But…" Carlothian grimaced at my continuing nagging. "I'll take care of my own future. Let's just move the room first. It's inefficient to always go to the annex." So it's all about efficiency. So sharing a room with me is not a problem, since it's efficient? This isn't a situation where I should be…

Whoa, you scared me. What the! Why are you suddenly here? "What are you doing here? Isn't it time for your work?" I asked curiously, but he still remained silent. Huh, what's the problem now? Frowning, I stood up from my seat. The blood I had coughed up earlier was long wiped clean. I walked briskly towards him at the door. "I haven't done anything yet. I didn't cause any trouble today." "I didn't come to scold you for causing trouble." "Then, why are you here? Your work isn't even finished yet, is…

Flash. I instinctively opened my eyes wide. I seemed to have fallen asleep quietly in Carlothian's arms. Tired of being embarrassed anymore, I just lay there. I could see Carlothian's face. It seemed he had dark circles under his eyes from dealing with my madness. Seeing him like this made me feel a bit guilty. I reached out and gently rubbed beneath his eyes. Not that it would make any difference, but still. I carefully slipped out of his embrace. 'He probably didn't sleep well, so I shouldn't…

"Ah!" Thud. A young maid was pulling weeds. It seemed she had fallen while trying to pull out a particularly deep-rooted weed. Her back looked familiar. Her name was… "Rodi, what are you doing here?" Another maid asked the young maid, Rodi. The girl wiped the sweat from her forehead with her dirt-covered hand. "The gardener told me to pull out the weeds, so I was doing that." "Really?" I paused for a moment, puzzled, and asked the maid. “Is it really okay to have such a young child do…

I was lounging on Carlothian’s bed again today, reading a history book leisurely. “Wow, why is this so detailed?” The illustrations of the great empire and its founding king felt excessively intricate, almost as if painted by a fanatic. I turned the pages one by one, intrigued by the historical account. Since it was about another world, it felt more like a fantasy novel-setting book than a history book. “Let’s see... The empire has been around for how long? What? Ten thousand years? That’s…

‘Just a moment ago, he wasn't here; where did he suddenly appear from?’ I impatiently tried to shake my leg, but he held onto it firmly with his strong arm, refusing to let go. 'Ah, I see it now. Benjamin. So you're the prince's bodyguard who is secretly in love with the female lead, or something like that.’ Although we didn't see each other's faces often, there was a sense of familiarity. We had never really had a conversation before, so it was miraculous that I even remembered him. Then,…

The next day, morning arrived as usual. I was forced to wake up at seven in the morning to attend some kind of prayer meeting. I dozed off, staring at something called a holy bible, and luckily, perhaps thanks to Ariadeline's body, I could read the words just fine. However, since it was all unfamiliar content, I didn't feel like reading. "Let us give thanks to Balail for blessing our day once again today." In this place, the god's name was Balail. Balail, Balail. It didn't give me any sense of…

Dorothea slowly opened her eyes. "Ariadeline, you......." Her eyelashes were trembling. Unable to understand anything, I simply stared at her blankly. Suddenly, she rose from her seat. "The wounds still haven't healed. Thank you for showing them to me." Then she turned away. The crown prince looked at her pitifully, then locked eyes with me. "Tsk." As soon as our eyes met, he clicked his tongue. "Are you trying to look pitiful on purpose?" ‘What?’ As I tilted my head, Luciano sneered. "The…

‘Gasp, gasp’ I ran frantically, gasping for breath. Not far from the temple, there's a place where the Duke visits to contemplate. It's right by the temple lake. The place where Carlothian and Dorothea first met. I knew he would be out here today, too. Because that's where their encounter was shown in the side story. "Chase her!" "Catch the wicked woman!" I could hear people shouting from afar, but I couldn't stop. ‘He must be around here somewhere!’ Just a little further! My ankle caught…

"Ariadeline!" Immediately after Ariadeline was struck down by Carlothian's sword, Dorothea appeared and shouted in anger. "Carlothian, what is this madness?" "Dorothea?" Carlothian frowned in confusion. Dorothea hurriedly approached Ariadeline to check on her condition. "Thank goodness. She's not dead yet." Dorothea sang a healing spell, tending to her. Fortunately, the wound seemed to be gradually healing. "T, thank God. The healing is working...!" Carlothian asked her in disbelief. "Dorothea,…

The High Priest sighed. That was Ariadeline—the wicked woman everyone hated. The one who tried to murder the crown princess everyone loved. Even if it were true that they abused Ariadeline and watched her die, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible. "So what happened at the monastery?" Dorothea bit her lip. "Well, Ariadeline is a sinner by status. Since she's a sinner, we couldn't punish them for not taking care of her…" There was no justification. Honestly, the temple had done nothing wrong, so…
