31. Lady Ygret’s Secret (1)
"I'm not being petty." Darius softened his expression and grabbed my sleeve. "The sword, shield, and boots don't really matter. What's meaningful is that I receive them as gifts from you, and I hate the idea of you giving them away for Lucion." "Goodness, what are you saying?" Lucion was his knight commander. "This is the first gift you've ever given me, and I don't want to have the memory of receiving the same thing as someone else." Darius wore a displeased expression. "Anette, are…-

30. Hot and Cold and Jealousy
"I'll go ask Sylph if it knows anything about these gold coins." Having had the unpleasant experience of explaining the invisible Sylph to Sir Lucion earlier, I briefly left the place. I could feel Sir Lucion watching me with a strange gaze as I disappeared. Come on, have some faith in me, will you? 'I really need to speed up my practice to reach the spirit materialization stage. At this rate, I'll truly become the Grand Duchess who talks to ghosts alone.' "Sylph, I have a favor to ask. Is it…-

"So no one can move the gold coins? Because they suddenly expand or become extremely heavy when touched?" After hearing the whole story, I questioned with an incredulous expression. "I'm also visiting this place for the first time since I was busy with Rose's situation. I haven't experienced it myself, but according to my subordinates' reports, that's what happens. Perhaps it's because, as you mentioned, the treasure was guarded by the Spirit King." 'Come on, Sir Lucion. You didn't believe me when…

Soon after, Darius entered and severely scolded Rose. "Your thoughtless behavior caused trouble for many people and even put Anette in danger." He scolded her so harshly that I thought Rose would look at me with her usual resentful gaze, but surprisingly, she accepted the reprimand without making any excuses. "I was wrong." "Do you actually understand what you did wrong? Copying etiquette books didn't work, forbidding you from leaving the mansion didn't make you come to your senses. What…

How long had it been since she'd enjoyed such a peaceful morning? 'It's so bright......' "Ah, Madam! You're awake!" Apple, who was drawing the curtains, noticed that she was up and scurried over to the bed, squealing with excitement. "Madam, really! How could you fall asleep like that yesterday! Do you remember collapsing while standing?" "Rose...... Ah, what happened to Rose?" "Don't worry. Miss Rose has regained her strength now. It's all thanks to you, Madam!" Apple put her hands on…

26. Bloodletting (3)
"We need to replenish what you lost in sweat. Add salt and sugar to the water. Just a tiny bit. So little you can barely taste it." I had no idea about the proper ratio of salt and sugar, let alone how many liters were in one water bottle. I knew that excessive sweating could lead to dehydration, but determining the right proportion of salt and sugar remained a challenge. "Good heavens! After driving away the doctor, all you're doing is giving her water? We should have done the bloodletting…-

25. Bloodletting (2)
I calmly approached Rose’s bedside. I needed to keep my composure first. If the caregiver panicked while the patient was unconscious, it would only make everyone else in the room anxious as well. “The sheets are soaked with sweat. That must be uncomfortable. Let’s change them first. Use ones that have been dried under the sun, nice and fresh. And since they might get soaked again soon, bring two if possible.” A maid fetched fresh sheets and blankets from the cabinet…-

24. Bloodletting (1)
“Rose!” Rose was still collapsed on my lap. If Sylphid’s claim that time hadn’t passed was true, then Rose had just fainted a moment ago. The green lights that had tormented Rose were now gone. Even the forest seemed to have changed from the eerie atmosphere it had earlier. Was it the effect of the magic left behind by the Spirit King disappearing? “Rose, wake up!” Though unconscious, thankfully, Rose was still breathing…-

Sylphid, looking extremely annoyed, twisted my nose. Strangely enough, whenever he twisted my nose, he would take on Darius's appearance again. Didn't he say he hated that form? 'Does everyone who takes on Darius's appearance develop a habit of nose-twisting or something?' I suddenly remembered the time Darius twisted my nose while I pretended to be asleep in the carriage on our honeymoon journey, and my face flushed more than necessary. "Fraud? I never deceived anyone, and it's the fault of the…

22. The Spirit King Sylphid
"…Gone." He had been right behind me, close enough to touch, but the moment I crossed the boundary of the forest, everyone disappeared. Even the traces of the path I had walked vanished. The last image burned into my mind was his stunned expression as he looked at me. His hand, which had failed to reach me, lingered in my memory. ‘I’ll go back and apologize.’ I must have had the same expression in his…-

21. I’ll Save You
Darius led me to the back of the castle, under a large poplar tree. It was an ancient tree, said to be over 300 years old, and there was a legend that the founder of the Inkheart family had planted it himself. Even after hearing such a tale, I remained indifferent. 'At least Lady Ygret's influence hasn't reached here.' Thinking about my cotton flowers, which still hadn't been planted because the gardener had been dismissed, only made me feel…-
