Summer Hunt (6) It was petty. Disgustingly petty. You saved me, brought my family to me, even got engaged to save the family you brought, and came to get me wherever I was. Why are you always the kind of person who consistently breaks my heart? "Why? Is there some rumor that the saintess is incredibly beautiful?" "What?" At my obstructive words, Ricardo narrowed his eyes and soon let out a laugh as if finding it absurd. His chest heaved as he chuckled, and I felt worse and worse. "What's…-

Okay, Let's Go Together "What if a moment really comes when I can't let you go? When this opaque feeling becomes completely transparent, what then?" He took a deep breath so deep his chest rose, then slowly exhaled his warm breath near my ear. "Even so... will you come with me?" 'What?' Ricardo pulled back from me and met my eyes. With black eyes that no longer felt cold, he was asking me. "Even though the end is predetermined?" I nodded without hesitation. Making absolutely sure he…

Crown Princess, Mariette Ricardo's mocking laughter made me suddenly surge with anger. Then what was I supposed to do? Was I supposed to look him in the eye and desperately pledge my love? Was I supposed to cling to his trouser legs and beg? If that's what he wanted, I could do it. But he had a woman that God himself had arranged for him, and I would never pledge my love to a man who already had a woman. Since my feelings weren't my fault, I had no intention of feeling guilty about having him in…

I Deliberately Followed You In The Duchess declared she would elevate me to the ranks of the saintess, and I nearly lost my life in the lake. But even so, what does that have to do with him? "According to my discreet investigation, the arrow shot at Young Duke Rochester and you came from the Emperor." "I had suspected as much." Walter nodded slightly and continued speaking. "Not long ago, to be precise, after we met at the imperial palace, Her Highness the Crown Princess came to see…

I Don't Remember Anything "We all know it. Fennel isn't the one God chose." "Mariette, there's no need to point out what everyone already knows." "But the situation has changed. Lady Fennel has not only helped with the manifestation but also awakening." Not many knew this fact. Ricardo's eyes narrowed. Nevertheless, Mariette didn't avoid his wary gaze. "Even so, nothing changes. We all know it clearly. That the saintess is your companion." Ricardo ran his hand through his hair, revealing…

So, Did You Smile? It was also the question I was most curious about at this very moment. Why on earth was he saying these things to me? "Because you are to me..." Walter stubbornly kept his mouth shut for a moment. His teal eyes, wanting his sincerity to be conveyed, looked almost desperate. Unbelievably so for someone who had barged into another family's house to propose marriage to that family's fiancée. "Because you're the only one." The only one? I had expected this much of an…

The Ending Must Be the Emperor Ending I looked around, imagining the library that must be in the main building. Somehow, it didn't seem like it would be much different in atmosphere from this place. The central ceiling of the library was domed, so it didn't feel stuffy, and the arched staircase led up to the second floor. The bookshelves were packed tight up there as well. The books filling the library were as diverse in genre as they were vast in scale. Politics, economics, history—naturally,…

Maybe, a Happy Ending? Fortunately, Ricardo caught my waist and supported me as I was about to fall. No, perhaps it would have been more fortunate if I had just fallen. When a large hand wrapped around a place rarely touched by others, I gasped without realizing it, my breath catching. I tried to shake him off, but he wasn't fazed in the slightest. Instead, he put more strength into his hand and pulled me close to him. "W-what do you think you're doing right now?" "Compared to you grabbing my…

Duchess of Rochester At first, I was quite flustered, but later I adopted a "whatever will be, will be" attitude. Even at Count Fennel's estate, I often got lost. I thought it was just because I was young, but that wasn't all there was to it. It was a fact I learned later, but I was seriously directionally challenged. I got so confused that I could barely find my way back out through the door I'd entered. I kicked a stone in my path and muttered once more. "Yeah, I'll find my way…

Head Butler, Freddy I had said I was going for a walk, but since I'd already been wandering around lost for quite a while, it wasn't exactly an accurate excuse. Before answering, I glanced at that older gentleman from earlier to gauge the situation. But this time, he wasn't looking at me. His eyes were fixed on Ricardo, widened in surprise. "Yes." Thanks to that, I gave the safest possible answer. "Freddy." "Yes, young master." "From now on, you will assist Lady Fennel." "Me,…
