Chapter 32 **** “Then shall we go to work now?” Aubrey adjusted her pencil with businesslike determination. “I heard you had a topic in mind. Please tell me what it is.” “….” “Count?” Khaled had the same expression as before. Now that she thought about it, he didn't have much of a response when she told him he was the main character of her nightmare. She was sure by now he would’ve said something to upset her. But he was just sitting there. The answer he came up with after a...

Chapter 31 *** That evening. Aubrey sat quietly on the bed. Instead of drinking the warm milk Trin brought, she held it in her hand, lost in thought. The afterimage of the nightmare that lasted for several nights remained in every corner of her body. The nightmare that started the day that man came to visit. She suffered from nightmares at night and was exhausted from looking after Barbara during the day. Emily's rampage brought her devastated heart to a peak. When a fidgety Trin opened her...

Chapter 30 **** Barbara was deeply troubled by the tone of voice that seemed to gently admonish her. The other person was Emily's potential fiancé. Of course, it was a relationship the noble ladies of the two families worked together to build, but Barbara thought this opportunity could become a stepping stone. She could finally get an answer from the gentleman who had never once given her a positive answer about an engagement with Emily. After thinking for a moment, Barbara’s lips dropped...

Chapter 29 *** Sponsored by Bongbongie’s mom. Thank you (3/3) *** "What are you doing here?" It was Patrick Paddingham. As if he had just arrived, a carriage passed behind Khaled. “What were you thinking about that you didn’t even notice the carriage was coming?” As he said, Khaled really didn't hear or notice anything. That fact was both funny and pathetic, so Khaled laughed lightly. The two went inside while having a casual conversation. As he headed to the second floor, passing by...

Chapter 28 *** Sponsored by Bongbongie’s mom. Thank you (2/3) *** The door closed slowly. Completely separated from the room where Nicholas had spoken of pity for her. Aubrey, who had been staring at the white door, turned her head. “Is it okay to look at your benefactor with those eyes?” Khaled smiled leisurely. He brought her here on purpose. The moment she learned that fact, she felt all the blood in her body rush to her head. Her head was so full of anger that it felt like it was...

Chapter 27 *** Sponsored by Bongbongie’s mom. Thank you (⅓) *** Aubrey found a long gallery next to the entrance to the hall. There, like her, people who had taken off their masks to avoid the hot hall were gathered together and enjoying refreshments. “The Countess of Ravant’s personality is truly wonderful.” Aubrey, who was about to head there without thinking, stopped. She looked a little closer and saw Barbara. In addition, the Duchess of Karnus. Could the handsome man standing...

Chapter 26 **** Aubrey's head didn't stop spinning for a moment. She couldn't even hear what Emily and Barbara were talking about because she was busy reviewing the lessons she received from Koppen one by one. “Are you listening to me?” She raised her head at the sharp voice. Emily frowned when she noticed the dumbfounded expression. “Again, don’t act like you know anything. Don’t make me say it twice.” “Emily.” When Barbara gave her a stern warning, Emily swallowed her...

Chapter 25 **** The sunlight, more intense than ever, streamed through the window and deep into the room. Aubrey's legs gave out and she collapsed into a heap. A small cloud of dust floated in the air, a reminder of how many times she'd moved around this large room. Aubrey's breath was ragged and colorful. "This is all you’ve got, come on, get up." Madame Koppen said, clicking her tongue. "Just a moment, just a breath." "You're going to go to the ball and say, 'Let's just take a breather and...

Chapter 24 *** It had been two days since her meeting with Khaled Karnus. Aubrey, who'd been lying in the corner of her room like a living corpse, had woken up. Nothing was resolved, but she felt better than before. "I'd appreciate it if you could think of something other than that.” On second thought, she was confident in the moment. Despite the color of her face, her voice didn't tremble, and she didn't stutter, which caused the man's expression to subtly harden. The feeling that she had...

Chapter 23 *** Khaled raised one eyebrow. "Why?" "Because I'm here to live." Green eyes, tinted with guts, glittered at him. Khaled smirked, as if even those eyes were plastic. "We'll survive this somehow." "You're going to pretend to be a lucky damsel in distress so you can fix your armor." "......." "Shameless." She was exasperated, but he was not wrong. His words were accurate. "I doubt anyone is stupid enough to fall for your flimsy act." Aubrey replied firmly. "There will be, and if there...
