“Fancy seeing Miss de Vermore at an event like this. The influence of the Headington Grand Duchy, I suppose.” Victor Regid’s eyes sparkled as he spotted Lillian fanning herself in the shade of a tree. He’d been eager to connect with her, but her reclusive nature had prevented any real conversation. He started toward her, only to be blocked by Cairn. “Lillian doesn’t wish to speak with anyone today.” Victor clicked his tongue in disappointment, shifting his weight from foot to foot.…- 17.5 K • Ongoing
Chapter 3 - Lies It was unexpected that he agreed so readily. I had anticipated at least two or three more questions about what I intended to buy, whether I could purchase it myself, or anything of the sort. Lowell simply nodded indifferently and escorted me outside the imperial palace. Mindful of his conspicuousness, he hadn't forgotten to don a large robe, a precaution I myself had also taken. How had things come to this? I found myself traversing the crowded square under the bright sun, alongside…- 53.0 K • Ongoing
- Upon hearing my words, Raphaerd wore a subtly pleased expression. Why was he happy that his superior was unwell? “Please go to your bedroom and lie down. I’ll send someone to attend to you.” “No. Being around others will make the dizziness worse. Leave me alone.” “Saint Miniel.” Before I could ask why he called my name, Raphaerd lowered his posture and met my eyes. “You must be truly unwell. For you, who always seemed so composed, to rely on me like this and be unable to even…

- Chapter 2 - A Child's Whim I was busy trying to find Lowell a suitable partner, and yet, I'd run into a nuisance. “You're saying nothing happened?!” “Well…” I’d spoken to her directly maybe three or four times. Even after reading the book, I couldn't recall the name of this insignificant, extra cleric. “Aria?” Judging by her wide, attentive eyes, it seemed I hadn't made any fatal mistakes, like getting her name wrong. “Shh. Your voice is too loud.” “But how…

- “As you know, there are many eyes in the Imperial Palace. If I leave now, rumors are bound to spread, and it would be troublesome for both of us to be misunderstood, wouldn’t it?” “You’re right.” “I won’t lay a finger on you, so rest assured and go to sleep. If the pain persists until tomorrow, let me know through my secretary.” “Alright then.” With that brief farewell, Lowell closed his mouth. He seemed relieved that he didn't have to do anything bothersome, whether my…

- Chapter 1 - Divorce Me Possessing a character in a novel? I thought it was ridiculous. But now that it’s happening to me, my mind is blank. I racked my brain, confused about what had happened, but the panic was short-lived. I calmly assessed the situation. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, the environment wasn't harsh, so I had no trouble adapting. It was all quite normal, except for the suspiciously large number of gifts and letters pouring in. The gifts were wedding presents, and the letters…

The sight of a potion vial must be infuriating. It’s inconvenient that he can’t speak. She hadn’t realized it before because there had been no need. For the first time since she began taking the Silen poison, Shariette felt a pang of frustration. Of course, given the current situation, Blanche’s decision to silence her was quite astute. “Sasha, if you let anything slip to the Noxian, it’ll ruin everything.” But being unable to speak didn’t mean she couldn’t manipulate…- 46.9 K • Ongoing
Daniel remained silent. It was probably a coincidence, or maybe it reacted to a new sound. What was the big deal? But Ellie, already completely smitten, was impervious to reason. “Lord Petrov, come here.” Daniel scoffed. She was truly something else. But that ridiculous title actually moved the cat, both in heart and body. It hopped down from the windowsill and sauntered towards Ellie. “Wow, he likes the name!” Ellie knelt down. The cat rubbed its head against her shin. She stroked its…- 29.7 K • Ongoing
- Amanda stroked the cat's sleek tail. “What do you think of Judy?” “It’s a boy,” Ellie replied casually. Amanda’s eyes widened. “How do you know?” Instead of answering, Ellie tilted her chin towards the cat's tail. The maids all lowered their heads to peer beneath the cat's rear end. Two proudly placed, furry orbs. The oblivious cat lifted its tail high. Feeling a pang of sympathy, Ellie gently pressed the raised tail down. Returning to the original topic, the maids each suggested…

The southern resort city of Dali was beautiful and vibrant. The dazzling blue sea and the lively people in their light clothing, the towering trees intertwined with brilliant tropical flowers, created an exotic atmosphere. I'd recently purchased a villa here, and as I unpacked, I enjoyed the sea breeze flowing through the open window. Nina came in to explain the day's plans. “Since it’s your first day, it’s best not to overdo it and just enjoy yourself.” “Really?” “Yes. I’ve scheduled…- 50.3 K • Ongoing
