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,…

Count Enehaz's Evening Party (5) At first, Ricardo doubted his own eyes. But once he became certain he wasn't seeing things, he set down—practically threw—the glass he was holding onto a tray. "Try being a bit more adventurous. The way you avoid women is causing strange rumors to... Ricardo?" Ricardo left the Crown Prince behind and broke into a run. He could no longer enjoy what was happening on the lower floor as if it were a play. "Hey! Ricardo!" Stuart's voice calling after him grew…

The Witch Who Took the Saintess's Place "You remember our Ricardo's childhood." At the voice that suddenly rang out, I let out a brief cough. "Yes... that's right." "I know that Lady Fennel helped Ricardo's manifestation. Thanks to you, he was able to return to the ducal residence quickly. I'm grateful." The timing of Rochester's manifestation wasn't set in stone, but according to tradition passed down through generations, it most commonly occurred around age 20. The time it took until…

Walter Shaw Chaplin The man in the painting was a human so beautiful he could make the gods jealous—Ayphnetis. I moved my gaze along the fresco painted based on his story. Scenes unfolded showing Ayphnetis meeting a goddess and falling in love, followed by scenes of the male god of fire raging in jealousy over him. The painting, expressed with unique materials and subtle contrasts in transparent color spaces, made him feel like a living person. Even in Resotia, Ayphnetis was a primary…

Meeting Them at the Chaplin Estate Walter looked at the yellow rose I was clutching tightly and smiled faintly. Why on earth? Was there a letter written on the yellow rose saying I wanted to go to the Chaplin estate or something? "You probably shouldn't have touched my body without permission." Of course, this was a moment when I needed to be careful, but since I was certain he wouldn't kill me, there was no need to suppress my rising anger. "I was standing still when you came and bumped…

She's My Fiancée Surrounded by the heirs of the three great ducal families of the Dermeier Empire, I felt genuine dizziness and collapsed onto the sofa. Then I looked back and forth at the faces of the four men watching me. In Resotia, some believed them to be incarnations of dragons from legends. Walter Shaw Chaplin, who could move freely through space but lost a day's worth of memories as the price. Julian Bow Paquin, who could erase others' memories but had to pay money as the price. And…

The Silver-Haired Woman "I'll go meet the Grand Priest for a moment, so wait for me in the Crown Prince's garden. The weather is nice, so you could take a walk." Though he spoke gently, his tone somehow felt anxious. I nodded reflexively and grabbed Ricardo's arm. I felt him flinch for a moment. "Alright." "Don't go far, and stay where Freddy can see you." "Yes, don't worry and go ahead. I'll stay there quietly." "......Alright." Ricardo looked at me for a moment before leaving my…

Walter's Empty Hands "Ha, I never thought I'd find myself saying this again." "......." "At Count Enehaz's evening party, I was standing there quietly when none other than you, Your Grace, came and bumped into me. So the fact that I fainted because of it is not my fault. And the matter of you arbitrarily taking me to your bedroom is something you should have apologized to me for." As if she had finished saying her piece, the woman tilted her head slightly in courtesy and turned around sharply,…

Julian and Sabrina Only then did Julian extend his arm toward me inside the carriage. Of course, his honey-colored eyes remained fixed on Sabrina. "Young Duke Rochester has asked that you wait in the third-floor lounge. He said it would be difficult to maintain the order of entry, but he requested that you enter together." The moment my feet touched the ground, Sabrina's melodious voice rang out. "My, how thoughtful of him." "And he also asked me to escort the ladies." It wasn't that I…
