"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…-

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…

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…

"...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…

"A... a woman? There was no... nobody except the three of us and that man." At the man's words, the archduke tilted his head sideways and said: "Really? How strange. According to witnesses, there was a woman there too." "..." The man looked troubled. He had planned to testify to the military police that he and his colleagues were having a gathering in the clearing when some crazy murderer suddenly appeared, picked a fight, and started a sword fight. He couldn't say they were taught a…

Ishar had been suffering from severe insomnia lately. He had never been unable to sleep like this before. He was someone who slept well in any situation. It didn't feel good. His lord postponing his return to the imperial palace while talking about optimal timing wasn't a new thing, and he agreed with that idea. It would be better to make his first appearance at a place where all the great nobles including the elders had gathered, as it would firmly imprint his presence. It would be even better…

A moment of silence followed. Lise slowly removed her hands from her face. She had firmly prepared herself for the terrible sight she might see. But what was going on? The standoff between the Loraine noble and the ruffian was exactly the same as before. Had time stopped? If not for the wind that suddenly swept up, creating a whirlwind that swept up the pile of fallen leaves on the ground, she really would have thought so. Time hadn't stopped, and the standoff wasn't completely identical…

She had a dream. In the dream, Lise was standing face to face with Lilia. But why? Why was Lilia's face looking at her deathly pale? Lise soon found out the reason. There was a knife in her hand... and she was driving Lilia with it. To the edge of a cliff. Lilia checked with sidelong glances how much ground was left behind her with each step she took. From her flushed expression, it seemed there wasn't much left. 'Stop it, please stop.' Lise heard endless screaming from within…

Guests invited to the coming-of-age ceremony arrived one after another. Half came at Mother's request, and the other half came out of curiosity about Lilia. They praised Mrs. Berium's magnanimity as intended. "To boldly present a bastard child to society like this. As expected, Marchioness Berium has great courage." But when Lilia appeared shyly in her tan dress, people realized it wasn't just because Marchioness Berium had great courage. Lilia immediately caught everyone's…

The intoxication had long since fled. Her ankle wasn't sprained either. In other words, there was no reason she couldn't dance. Yet why couldn't she readily take this man's hand? What was this inner voice saying she shouldn't take this man's hand? There was no reason she shouldn't. If it were Cain, that might be different. But this man was just Father's disciple. Lise rationalized this strange sense of unease in her own way. 'It must be because he's too handsome. When someone is too…
