Chapter 27. New Child?
"Do you truly wish to leave your family's embrace?" "Stop with the nonsense." "What is so nonsensical about it!" "We were never family to begin with, so isn't it strange to forcibly remain within that embrace?" "Even so, you are a child of the Odoi family!" Grit refused to give up. He already knew that backing down here would worsen their relations with the Persi grand ducal family to the worst possible state. But more than anything, what…-

Chapter 26: Why Are You Here?
Grit exercised maximum patience. He felt like shouting right away, grabbing Clea's wrist and forcibly dragging her away. But unfortunately, this was the imperial palace. It was a place where every single action could have unpredictable consequences. He lowered his voice as much as possible while filling it with intimidation. Meanwhile, Clea had to try her best to suppress her laughter as she looked at them. The intimidation they had shown until…-

Chapter 25: Making an End
After spending some time with Odin, Clea felt much better. She sighed at feeling a different kind of anxiety than what she had felt until now. Once realized, she would no longer be free from this emotion. But thinking about it wouldn't change anything. She quietly accepted that even the sadness of not being able to stay with him for long was her fate. "Did you have a good time outside?" "Are you feeling a bit better?" "Thanks to Your Highness's care." Shortly after returning to the…-

Chapter 24: Mirror, Mirror
Clea woke up and looked at the window. As the sun was setting, darkness was appearing in the sky. 'Has he not returned yet?' No one had come to wake her until now. She guessed that Edmund went out and had not returned. She looked at the bell pull for a moment and contemplated. 'I don't want to be bothered.' She couldn't forget the maids who had been chirping like sparrows. Even sparrows wouldn’t know what they're saying. Their chattering really exhausted anyone who heard…-

The atmosphere completely froze due to Edmund's chosen topic. Perhaps they had been too complacent about Clea's situation. The Grand Ducal couple briefly laughed at the shocking news from an area they hadn't paid attention to. "Haha, rumors are nothing more than people's gossip." "That's right. It's probably been amplified as it passed through people's mouths after she just went somewhere briefly." Edmund watched the couple's expressions while drinking his tea. They seemed more displeased…

Chapter 22: An Unexpected Guest
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" "Please let us know if you're uncomfortable." 'More than anything, I wish they'd just be quiet.' How many tens of minutes had they been talking now? Clea glanced at the maids who were noisily whispering in front of her. No matter how many times she said she was fine, their barrage of questions didn't end. Clea was bewildered as this was a situation she hadn't expected at all. 'Seems they don't dislike me.' Honestly, this had been her biggest…-

When Lloyd followed Aria, he had steeled his resolve. He thought he would completely erase someone like Clea from his mind and focus on the person right beside him. Though he intended to completely erase a woman like her from his life, somehow his thoughts changed once they reached the imperial palace. 'That wasn't what I meant to do.' He had originally intended to apologize to Clea. Unlike before, when he had always made her apologize despite him being in the wrong first, this time, he…

"Unfortunately, this man is mine." Edmund felt his heart sink at Clea's response. Even though they had already kissed several times and done even more than that. Right now, his face was burning just from the kiss. Though he wanted to look at her, Edmund's eyes wandered, finding it difficult to meet her gaze. 'I keep showing such uncharacteristic sides of myself.' Clea found this side of Edmund cute. She thought that, true to his cold impression, he wouldn't feel any embarrassment about…

Chapter 19: This Man is Mine
Edmund looked at Aria who had entered without permission. Though she was happy to see Edmund after a long time, Edmund inwardly clicked his tongue as he faced her. 'I guess she hasn't thought about why it's been so long.' There's usually a reason when something hasn't happened for a long time. Edmund wasn't unaware of the rumors that had followed him since the acade due to Aria being around him. The speculation was that Edmund and Aria would marry right after graduating from the…-

Chapter 18: An Unwelcome Guest
"We haven't found her." "You still haven't found her!" Grit glared at Steve, who had failed to find Clea despite being ordered to do so a while ago. Just a few days ago, Clea had been living in this house. But after her argument with Grit, she immediately left. She could no longer be seen at the Odoi mansion. At first, Grit thought Clea would crawl back to the mansion before long. Since she had no separate allowance, he thought she would return within a day, unable to properly manage…-

Chapter 17: Cute Obsession
Edmund was very tired after finishing his meal with Odin. This was because he had handled an enormous amount of work throughout the day. There was a reason why he processed work at an unusually fast pace compared to normal. 'That way, I'll have time left to be with Clea.' His life was very monotonous. After finishing work late at night, he would eat, shower, and go straight to sleep. Then after waking up, he would eat again, work, and sleep. He didn't particularly feel bored with this…-

Chapter 16: Unexpected Meeting
After finishing a modest meal with Edmund, Odin headed to the garden. The garden he frequently used was a place where no one except himself and his guard knights could enter. Therefore, he was able to enjoy his walk in peace with peace of mind. However, this was short-lived as someone soon entered his field of vision. "There's someone over there." Odin felt a sense of nostalgia at this rare situation. It had been decades since he inherited the throne, and it had been a long time since…-

Her father, Duke Hersher, had finally gathered his courage and directly proposed marriage to the Emperor. The marriage between Aria Hersher and Edmund Wilhelm.

Chapter 14: Marriage?
"Your Majesty." As evening fell, the imperial palace became completely deserted. All the nobles and officials who had finished their work returned home to have a cozy dinner with their families. However, no warmth could be found in the imperial palace. Even between blood relatives, such warmth was nowhere to be found. Although the Emperor was his father, Edmund had never called him ‘father’ even long before he received the title of Crown Prince. Even from the Emperor's perspective,…-
