"...Is that so?" The man's eyes glowed with a fierce light in the darkness. As if trying to determine the truth of these words. For some reason, this man seemed to have the ability to see through others' inner thoughts. He definitely wouldn't be fooled by a clumsy lie. The only way to make this man believe was for her to deceive even herself. Lise thought of Cain. No, she thought of her past self who had a one-sided love for Cain. Then persistent, desperate yet tender emotions naturally…-

When I returned home, as expected, Mirabel was in an uproar. Still, perhaps because of the letter the man had delivered, she wasn't wailing as severely as before. "Miss, please tell me next time before you go. I nearly had a heart attack." "Yeah, sorry. I had to leave in a hurry after getting an urgent message." Mother, as expected... probably didn't even know I had left. "Oh my, are you just getting home now? I thought you came back last night." "..." "Next time, tell me before you go…

After finishing her bath and returning to her quarters, Mirabel was organizing the laundry. Lise took off her robe and changed into the crepe de chine loungewear Mirabel had laid out in advance. "Well then, rest well, Miss." Mirabel said this and was about to leave with Lise's robe draped over her arm, when she suddenly turned back as if remembering something. "This... was well used." She held something out as she spoke, and looking down, Lise saw it was the money pouch she herself had given…

"Lilia, you know Lady Jaina Bergson, right? The one who gave you the bouquet at your coming-of-age ceremony last time." During breakfast, Mrs. Berium asked Lilia. Lilia responded with a smile as bright as the morning sunlight. "I remember her. You mean the bouquet with roses mixed with lisianthus, right? I remember it being so beautiful." "My, what a good memory you have. Lise would never have remembered that." "I remember too." At Lise's words, the lady raised her eyebrows as if…

The kind-hearted physician had consistently called Izael, who was beaten and abused by Suen, "young master" and treated him. Izael remembered that kindness and spared only the physician. Of course, everyone except the physician was massacred. To be told to serve some boy who rolled in from who knows where as young master. It was natural for the employees to harbor resentment. The servants and maids turned a blind eye to Suen's abuse of Izael. They just turned their heads away pretending…-

"Fire!!" Someone's shout echoed from afar. Everything around me was engulfed in bright red flames. I couldn't breathe through the acrid smoke. Harsh coughing kept bursting out of me. 'Is this really how I die?' I couldn't believe it. Ever since I was young, I had been a bread lover, and I had only one dream. To open my own bakery. I had spent my entire life working hard toward that single dream. I got my baker's certification and found a job at a bakery. There wasn't a day…

"You too, how can you dance if you relax your strength?" Lise asked in a deliberately cheerful tone to hide her embarrassment. Then Cain said: "At first, just follow my lead. Just feel it." Why did it feel like he was cleverly omitting the subject? Was it just her imagination that it sounded incredibly suggestive if she closed her eyes and listened with only her ears? It might be her imagination. If Cain were that kind of man, he would have fallen for her seduction attempts long…

"These clothes won't work." "Then how about this?" "Are you trying to drown me?" Lise said, rejecting every piece of clothing Mirabel brought her. But it was understandable. When she asked for clothes that wouldn't float and would stick to her body, Mirabel brought armor! Mirabel was almost in tears as she said: "Then what should we do? Apart from these, there's only underwear." "Then give me underwear." "Cough, cough!" Mirabel, who had choked, kept coughing repeatedly. Her…

"...Unsettling?" That was the first time she'd heard such a thing. Calling Lilia—kind, pure, and the typical female protagonist type from romance novels—unsettling. "You know the type. They smile in front of you but talk behind your back. I get the feeling Miss Lilia is exactly that type." "Mirabel, do you perhaps have paranoid delusions?" At Lise's words, Mirabel answered firmly. "No. But people have instincts. My instincts are quite accurate, if I do say so myself." At those words,…
