Seth closed his eyes and slowly mulled over the lyrics of the song she was singing. A song for someone who had forgotten them. A poignant love song for someone who didn't accept their love and instead looked at another woman. Seth Dolorante stood there quietly until the song ended. Then, he soon broke into a smile so beautifully stunning that it left the maid and servant momentarily speechless. "Can I see her now?" "Please wait a moment. I will inform Miss Ariadeline." The maid then knocked carefully…-

"Why have you come looking for her?" Seth Dolorante responded to Carlothian’s sharp words. "I’m sure I wrote it clearly in the letter." That was right. Not long ago, a letter had arrived from the Dolorante family addressed to Ariadeline. Carlothian couldn’t ignore the letter that came in the name of Seth Dolorante to Ariadeline. The moment he saw its contents, he was engulfed in anger. The poignant opening line ultimately ended with a longing to see her again, as if he were her…-

‘My whole body hurts…’ Ariadeline lay on the bed, naked, unable to move. ‘No, this guy is a beast, not a human.’ She looked at Carlothian, who was sleeping next to her, his skin glowing with a healthy sheen. It was infuriating, really. She pinched his nose. She could see his forehead furrow. Ariadeline giggled, but soon she was pulled into his arms. "Wake up, Carlothian." "...Just a little more." "Do you know you’ve been sleeping a lot lately? Are you tired?" "Then why aren't you…-

"Excuse me?" As the maid asked in confusion, instead of answering, Thud. She felt a push on her shoulder. The stairs leading down to the underground prison were long—very long, dark, and slippery, like the mouth of something. The maid felt her body floating in the air. Am I going to die like this? The sensation of her body suspended in the air didn’t feel like her own. Ah, I’m falling. Just as she thought that, Ah— She heard a singing voice from somewhere. The maid thought it was the voice…-

I started changing into a dress that Madame had prepared for me. She personally helped me adjust the fit and style. "I was so surprised to hear that you were invited to the princess's birthday celebration, Miss Ariadeline." "No, but to be honest, does it make sense?" "Yes? What?" "I mean, a sinner attending a royal party... it's just not right." "Oh, that’s all thanks to your improved reputation, Miss Ariadeline. And..." Madame said it without any malice. "You were quite close with Princess…-

The Empress, seemingly oblivious to it, took a sip of her tea. After some trivial conversation, Yermondi was finally able to leave the Empress’s chamber. The constant pressure regarding marriage was suffocating her. She had to secure the Duke of Denaves by any means necessary. A man as solid and unyielding as a fortress. Someone who wouldn't falter under any circumstances and wouldn’t be broken by anyone. Yes, she needed someone like that. A companion who would not be a sin to give affection to,…-

Like the fire ignited in Stelle’s heart, a different kind of flame was rising in the room. "Hmm." As their lips parted, a strand of silver thread stretched between them. Carlothian, occupying the space above Ariadeline, thought to himself. Why does he feel so anxious when he's not holding her? As Ariadeline opened her small mouth, Carlothian tilted his head and slowly invaded her with his tongue, like a snake. The sound of wet kisses filled the air. Ariadeline, still struggling to breathe as they…-

Index, still unable to shake off Stelle, was unable to swing his sword in the cramped carriage. Seizing the opportunity, I quickly approached Index and struck down hard on his wrist. "Ugh…!" Then, I picked up the sword he dropped and gripped it tightly with both hands. Without hesitation, I thrust it forward. Thud— An unfamiliar sensation made my hand tremble. I shut my eyes tightly because I couldn’t bear to look at the gaze above me. I poured all my weight into the sword, desperate to…-

"That's right." At those words, I unconsciously covered my mouth. Now that I think about it, could that be? It was something I had never considered at all. Regression had become so natural. As I fell into deep thought, Carlothian made me lift my head. And with a light peck on my lips, he said, "So don't take it lightly." "…I understand." As I nodded, as if I understood, he finally relaxed his expression. I gently placed my finger on his brow and rubbed it, smoothing it out. "So don't make such a…-

"Oh, demon…." The old black magician was bowed on the floor. Before Yermondi, there was a massive darkness of an unidentifiable shape. In the midst of it, only two gleaming eyes could be recognized. "Are you the most powerful demon? The demon laughed, much like Yermondi. Yermondi furrowed her brow and said, "Your existence is irrelevant. Can you make me the strongest black magician?" "I do." Yermondi furrowed her brow again. "That easily?" It laughed with Yermondi’s voice. Yermondi…-

Feeling bewildered, I hurried over to him with short, quick steps. As soon as I got close, he pulled me into a tight hug and sat me on his lap. No, this guy! "T, there are other people watching!" "So what?" The aides were smiling faintly and looking away. The knights stood with their arms crossed, turning their heads to the sides. "What are you doing?" Carlothian then spoke to the knights. "You two, get out." "Yes." "Yes, sir!" The two of them immediately left the room, and I covered my face with…-

Tap, tap, tap. Not knowing where to go, I ran down the hallway. Should I go to my room in the annex? Or to Carlothian’s room? But if I went to Carlothian’s room, it was obvious I would run into him. Even now, walking down the hallway, I feel a bit flustered. ‘I want you as the duchess.’ I clutched my head at those words. No, what does that even mean? I'm confused. ‘Weren't we just in an adult relationship?!’ I didn’t know what Carlothian would say if he heard that, but that’s how I…-

Dorothea spoke. "That maid still insists that she acted alone. And she also conveyed that fact to Princess Yermondi." "I see." "But the maid said something strange." "What kind of strange thing?" "She asked me to protect her family." "......" Dorothea glanced to the side. Ariadeline appeared to be deep in thought. "So what did you do?" "For now, I assigned someone to keep an eye on her. Ariadeline, you’re a sinner, and just because she tried to harm you doesn’t mean I’ll punish her family.…-

Ariadeline secretly traveled back and forth to the imperial palace, striving to heal Dorothea with her divine power. Fortunately, she was able to use the holy relic to prevent the black magic from spreading throughout her body, but she could not awaken Dorothea. "Phew... I think that will be enough for today." "...I want to express my gratitude to you." The crown prince's face was becoming more gaunt as time passed. Ariadeline looked at him with pity. She could tell how much he loved Dorothea. "...She…-

"A disaster, you say?" "I can’t provide details. It’s just a small conjecture on my part..." The high priest fell into deep thought. He then called a priest who was like his right hand. "First, may I confirm Princess Dorothea’s condition before making a decision?" "Of course." "Let's have some tea for now." After the priest, who acted as the High Priest’s aide, left for the palace, we slowly drank warm tea while waiting for news. "Why, of all things, are you asking to borrow a relic? The…-

Her eyes crinkled. The princess, known for her gentle nature, spoke softly as she put down her teacup. "I see that the Duke holds his ex-wife in high regard." "That’s right." The noble ladies nodded. Just a short while ago, rumors circulated about Princess Yermondi’s engagement to Carlothian. However, it seemed those were just rumors, as there had been no movement from either the imperial family or the Denaves family. Especially since Yermondi herself had shown no particular reaction, the noble…-
