Carlothian Denavez has always had a bad reputation. Rumors swirled around him, from the sinister tales related to his sword, Deathrotea, to accusations of being a murderer, a battle maniac, or even suffering from madness. 'You are neither a murderer nor a battle maniac. You’re just Carlothian Denaves.’ When everyone turned their backs on him, it was Dorothea who cared for him. Carlothian Denaves will probably never forget her. Even if she became another man’s wife forever... that was his…-

The temple was quiet after Ariadeline and Cariothian left. The High Priest, looking tired, silently gestured. “Clean it up.” The junior priests hurriedly began to remove the body. As they dragged the body away, the blood left a trail on the floor. Everyone was feeling something strange. Ariadeline, the villainess, had shed tears at someone else’s death. And it was the death of the man who had assaulted her. They felt the image of Ariadeline they had of her crack. ‘How could she cry over the…

“D-Duke!” “I asked what you were doing.” Carlothian growled. Dolance, startled, quickly threw me aside. “Uh, I was in the middle of disciplining her. She threw a chair at me, then ran away...” “So you grabbed her by the hair and dragged her away?” Thud, thud. With a cold expression, he approached Dolance and me. “Y-Yes, Your Grace. She is a criminal…” Dolance emphasized that he had done nothing wrong. In the Empire, there was no punishment for beating a criminal. “But the…

"Don't do anything; just stay locked up in your room." Dolance muttered as he left the room. "Or just die when no one's around.” I want to do that too, axxhole! Trembling, I collapsed to the floor, and with a click, the door closed. I sighed and waited for the pain to subside before gingerly getting up from the floor. 'I can't die, but I'm just getting beat up. What a life!' I sighed heavily and went back to bed. ‘It's better to keep a low profile and take care of myself instead of risking…

As she guided Count Doffleman, Eloise felt extremely uncomfortable. “So, is the Duke still busy today as well?” As he said this, his hand grazed her waist. Eloise subtly shifted a step to the side and replied with courteous words. “If you wait in the reception room, the Duke will be down in time to see you soon.” “Still, a busy man like the Duke tends to be a bit late.” “I will have tea prepared for you in the reception room.” “Tea, hmm, that sounds good. But there are other things…

Carlothian was walking towards me with a face that seemed like he was about to kill someone. “Miss Ariadeline!” The maids came rushing to me with pale, frightened faces. ‘I knew you’d call for him!’ One of the maids hurriedly helped me up, her eyes widening. “Your Grace!” Their voices carried astonishment and anger. Well, who wouldn’t be furious with the trash causing such a disturbance in the mansion? At the maids’ call, Carlothian glanced at me once and contorted his face in a…

He clicked his tongue as he saw Ariadeline wearing someone else’s clothes. “What an unsightly sight.” At his words, the maids shut their eyes tightly. No, it would be better if he just stayed quiet at times like this. The maids glanced at Ariadeline. But instead of being hurt as they expected, she passed by him with an indifferent expression. “Who hasn’t bought me a single piece of clothing until now?” “Let’s get things straight. I’m not obligated to buy you clothes.” “Oh my,…

"Dorothy." Dorothea spoke firmly. "Ariadeline just ended up losing out, but don’t think you can deceive me. I know this was something you deliberately set up." "How can you be so sure?" "Did you think I would underestimate you?" Dorothea let out a short, dry laugh. "I can tell just by looking at your expression. We’re close, aren’t we?" "……." The same was true for Dorothy. As she gazed at Dorothea, she finally opened her mouth. "Dorothea, are you disappointed in me?" Tears of injustice…

'Is it because of me......?’ That she has lost her will to live. 'You made me miserable.’ ‘What made you miserable is you, Ariadeline.’ After their last conversation, when he met her again, she was different, like a different person. She no longer looked at him with obsessive eyes as before. Her face, which had always been contorted, now smiles at times. But she behaved like someone lacking something. She asked to be killed too easily. And indeed, she died at his own hands, driven by…

"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…

Why are those two here? Thump, thump, thump! "Ariadeline? Ariadeline!" "Open the door!" "Ah! Just a moment!" I looked at the flustered Dorothy and her friends. Behind me, the banging continued relentlessly. They were really pounding hard. "First of all." I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Then I spoke in a quiet voice that wouldn’t be heard outside. "Isn’t it problematic if Lady Dorothea finds out about this situation?" "……" Dorothy, perhaps out of pride, kept her mouth tightly shut…

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…

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…

"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…

'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…

As I looked in confusion, the maids quickly opened the door. The person who appeared was… "Uh?" "Huh?" "How did you get here…" "Ariadeline, what are you doing right now?" It was none other than Dorothea. She looked around with a surprised expression. I couldn’t help but glance at Dorothy’s face. Now that I thought about it, wasn’t she quite close with Dorothea? But Dorothy’s face was flushed with confusion. "…What’s going on here?" Dorothea’s expression hardened as she saw me…
