[ Become Maxim von Waldeck’s wife in name only. ] ... more>>

That was the simple mission assigned to Daisy, a secret agent of the revolutionary army.

Maxim von Waldeck, a mercenary born out of wedlock, known as the royal family’s hunting dog.

He was being thrown into the line of fire as cannon fodder, and his chances of surviving the war were slim. No woman was willing to step into the role of becoming a widow.

The plan was straightforward: act as his wife in name during the war, then escape before the kingdom was conquered after their defeat.

If she could pull that off, she’d walk away with a hefty sum and retire comfortably.

“I’ll be back soon, wife.”

Yes, it was nice meeting you. Rest in peace.

“We’ll consummate the marriage when I return.”

You dream big, don’t ya? May you pass on peacefully.

She assumed it was just his hopeful dream of a blissful future.

…But then.

[ Maxim von Waldeck Achieves an Unprecedented Great Victory! ]

Things went completely opposite of what she had expected.

[ National Hero Grand Duke Waldeck! What do you most look forward to upon your return home? ]

[ Holding my beloved wife, Daisy, in my arms. ]

No way, that can’t be right.

This has to be a misprint or something, she thought.

But Maxim von Waldeck was a man who took his promises as seriously as his life.

“I’m back, my wife.”

And with those words, he suddenly pulled her into his arms.

Daisy’s eyes darted around in confusion at his unexpected behavior.

“Shall we head to the bedroom now?”

“Pardon?”

He whispered softly in her ear, a lazy smile painted on his lips.

“Forgive me, but I’m in a bit of a hurry.”

He was already heavy and hot, the front of his trousers straining as if they were about to burst.

‘Is this bastard some sort of pe*verted lunatic?’

Could Daisy safely divorce him before her cover was blown? <<less

The most important thing is unbreakable confidence!... more>>

“You asked earlier why I broke up with my ex, right?”

“Did he cheat on you?”

“You see… sob… my boyfriend…”

After breaking up with her boyfriend who lacked confidence down there, Wang Sodam, drowning in heartbreak, spends a drunken night with her boss Yoon Junwoo.

“Now, look at me sober. See who caused this malfunction.”

“I’ll try to fix you, Team Leader. But in return, prove something to me.”

“Prove what?”

“I want to know if I’m attractive to men.”

While Sodam does her best to help the boss she ‘broke’…

Will Junwoo’s overflowing confidence ever subside? <<less

I transmigrated into a crazy novel and came to possess the body of ‘Roella’, a fake saintess who’s destined to die young.... more>>

‘No, but is there some sort of trend of dying young?’

A moment of despair. A determined plan to survive.

When the real saintess comes out, I’ll just say, ‘I knew it, I guess I’m a fake!’ then stand down!

The perfect plan provided a moment’s repose.

Ding—!

〈 Mission : A villainess, but forcibly turning over a new leaf!

1. Raise your reputation
2. Apply the automatic curse word censorship

※ Penalty upon mission failure : Death within six months of the recognition of Sylvia as the real saintess.
※ Reward upon mission success : Survival

Would you like to accept this mission?
( I want to ♥ / YES! ) 〉

A ruthless system window with no conscience appeared before my eyes.

* * *

To ensure my survival, I followed what the system window said.
Consequently,

“The best Saintess of the empire!”
“Cursing at the Saintess is the same as cursing at me, so I won’t let this go.”
“She’s here. This era’s number one Saintess!”

What the. Seems like my reputation went up too much?

And to make matters worse.

—Ah, this crazy…!
“Ah, how cute…!”

—What did you say, you f*****!
“What did you say, you cutie!”

Because of the mayhem that the censorship brought on, I guess the cursed imperial crown prince even got swept into this kind of misunderstanding?!

“I’m… cute?”

No. That’s not what I meant. <<less

When Seung-ha was 21 years old, love was everything to him.... more>>

That's why he poured all his wealth into trying to catch even a bit of Ahn Jae's attention.

But one day, Seung-ha learned that love wasn't everything, and silently left Ahn Jae.

Seven years later. The two coincidentally meet in their respective social positions.

Ahn Jae wouldn't even look at Seung-ha unless money was involved in the past, and now he's become obsessed with Seung-ha.

However, Seung-ha's heart, long since burned out and reduced to ashes, remained cold....

*

Ahn Jae whispered, barely louder than a breath

"Let me kiss you."

Seung-ha's eyes wavered, but quickly settled.

"No."

"I know, you're not for sale."

Ahn Jae's hand slid from Seung-ha's face to his nape. The large hand cradled Seung-ha's neck, fingers threading through his hair. A faint shiver ran through Seung-ha's body.

"Ahn Jae sunbae."

"Then let me do it.”

His eyes lowered to Seung-ha's lips. Desire showed in his downcast eyes. Seung-ha forcefully held back the urge to swallow.

"You sound like you're begging."

"That's right, I am begging."

Despite his gentle words, his grip on the back of Seung-ha’s neck tightened. Then, his face drew closer. 'Seung-ha,' he whispered his name heatedly as their lips touched. <<less

In the original novel, she was the villainess, but she avoided all the death flags properly by faking her own death.... more>>

She saved even the poor child who was destined to die, sacrificed herself to ensure the protagonists’ lives would be smooth…

And thus, she hid and waited for her own happy ending.

Finally feeling happy for a moment at the news of the original protagonists’ marriage, she returned after hearing about her mother’s passing…

…But why is everything all messed up?

No, more importantly, why was she in confinement?!

The original male lead, who was her childhood friend and fiancé, spoke.

“If I had known you’d fall for such a simple trick like a death notice, I would have done it sooner.”

The male lead, who she thought had married someone else, laughed at her with utterly crazed eyes.

Why was he like this now? He wasn’t like this before.

“You’ve got nowhere to run now.”

What’s going on here! <<less

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a place I didn’t recognize.... more>>

The only thing I had to guide me was my phone.

In order to regain my memories and return, I had to raise the targets’ favorability levels and achieve a special ending.

Because of that, I got entangled with the targets, working diligently to increase their favorability, one by one.

At first glance, everything seemed to be going fine—until I got a new notification.

『 Targets are assigned up to five favorability hearts.

Once you reach six hearts, the target will enter an ‘overheat’ state, greatly increasing the chances of facing a drastic ending. 』

“Wait… how many hearts did I have earlier?” I was about to check the system window when I heard footsteps approaching.

『 A target has been detected nearby. 』

I needed to run now. But…

『 ▷ Affection: ♥♥♥♥ (They like you. They will try to find you no matter where you are.) 』 <<less

The youngest princess of the mermaid kingdom who had lived all her life under her father’s excessive protection.... more>>

Viviane’s natural habitat were these underwater depths, yet somehow, it felt as if she was going to drown.

The day of her mating period, she secretly climbed to the water’s surface,

And she fell in love with the most radiant male on the land.

Vivi, desperately wanting to reach him, made a dangerous deal with the witch…

“If you become pregnant with that male’s offspring once the red moon rises, you will be able to transform into one of them—a human.”

She thought she could reach the radiant male with her temporary legs.

Until one day, she saw traces of stuffed mermaids in the mansion’s most suspicious room.

Right then, she realized that she had been caught in a trap. <<less

On a bitterly cold winter night, the man who appeared showed no mercy.... more>>

A groan escaped her lips. Her pulled-back head tilted sharply.

Under the crushing grip so strong it felt as though her scalp might be torn, she could utter nothing but a short scream.

“Answer me.”

Her vision was completely obscured, and the flow of air around her twisted unnaturally.

When the terrified woman fumbled, unable to find where to look, he firmly held her head in place with one hand.

On her knees, Ha-yoon rubbed her head against the edge of his thigh and blinked as she looked up at Moo-geon.

“Why don’t you do the thing you’re good at?”

With a gulp, Ha-yoon held back her tears and asked.

“Why… why won’t you cut it for me?”

Instead of answering, Moo-geon rubbed the back of her head with his large hand. Then he abruptly pulled her closer. It only took a moment for her head to be shoved between his legs.

“Ah, the debt my father owes…”

“Yes. Because of your father’s debt, I…”

Moo-geon tilted Ha-yoon’s head back with the hand holding her.

Partially crouching on one knee to meet her gaze, he leaned in close and whispered into her ear.

“I bought your misfortune.” <<less

The second son of the Davenport Ducal House and the top student at Arkansis Royal Academy. And officially, the best s*umbag at the Academy, second to none.... more>>

A man who seemed like proof of an unfair world. So different from herself, who was desperately trying to escape her own tr*shy family.

Tilia Ambrose hated Ilex Davenport.

But who would have known?

That she would end up in the same bed as that prestigious s*umbag. <<less

After drinking snake wine, I got hit by a car and opened my eyes to find that I was reborn as a snake. My future... more>> as a snake looked bleak. At that time, the crown prince of the empire caught my eye. What can I even do since I've already turned into a snake? Well, I'll just stick to someone who will make my life feel comfortable and luxurious! This is a story of a snake struggling to become the crown prince's pet. <<less

One day, Won-woo became an awakened guide called a ‘Purifier.’... more>>

He became a being with great power, not only capable of guiding beyond ranks but also able to take away the power of Espers.

As a result, in Won-woo’s world, Espers and ‘Purifier’ were hostile to each other.

An endless war against the Espers ensued.

Won-woo lost all his comrades who fought alongside him and became alone.

Then one day,

Won-woo encountered a thick fog and met a dying version of himself from another world.

The request from his other-world self was “Please live here in my place.”

“I’m glad. Although it’s a life I’ve ruined, you should be able to endure well.”

Accepting this, Won-woo crosses over to that world and becomes another ‘Ji Won-woo’…

*

‘Everyone is alive.’

To his surprise, in this world, all his comrades who had died were still alive.

Won-woo goes to find them and uses his abilities to help, and in the process, he encounters ‘Gye Yoon’, the ruler of the North.

‘It’s because of those eyes. Those identical eyes.’

But strangely, every time he saw him, someone came to mind… <<less

“Do you love me?”... more>>

“Yes.”

“Even so, I can’t stand beside Your Majesty, can I?”

“That’s right.”

It was a simple answer. That made it hurt even more.

At the edge of the northern border, Cecilia happened to save the escaping crown prince, Tezett.

Fourteen years have passed since then.

The fragile and beautiful Tezett reclaimed his place and became the emperor.

And Cecilia came to a realisation.

“Is there anything she can offer me now, as the empress?”

That she, born a commoner, could never be his true equal.

If she could have just stayed by his side, it would have been enough, but…

“…At most, three months.”

Even that, God did not permit.

In the end, Cecilia closed her eyes alone, waiting for a lover who would not return.

At that cold train station, during that snowy winter.

And on the third anniversary of Cecilia’s death—

“Young Lady? Master! The Young Lady has opened her eyes!”

Cecilia opened her eyes once more, this time as the emperor’s fiancée.

* * *

Yes, you, who feared loneliness. You, who hated the cold winter.

You, who once said, ‘Look at me,’ ‘Love me,’

and ‘I want to stay by your side.’

“…And I–I left you, someone like you, behind all by yourself.”

Ah, is that so.

Tezett slowly looked down at his hands.

Was I the one who made you this way?

[I hope that at the very end, you won't come.

Though I still love you, at least in the face of death, I wish to die entirely as myself.]

So, in the end, you let me go. <<less

In order to survive, she applied to be the bride of the terrifying Grand Duke of Dragon’s heir. ... more>>

“If, I’m aww gwown up, you cwan divowce me anytwime.” [If I’m all grown up, you can divorce me anytime.]

“Accepted.”

It was nice to be chosen as the political bride of the Little Young Lord.

“You’re the one that asked me to marry you first. Don’t think you can run away.”

Her fiance turned out to be a crazy little peerless beauty who was the same age as her.

“You’re the most beautiful encounter in my life.”

Even the war-crazy Grand Duke’s heart was captured by her.

“You said you want to help in the family business? Keep bothering me and I’ll punish you with sweet snacks and a blank check!”

Just like that, she became the business partner of her grandfather-in-law who was crazy for money.

“This isn’t how it’s supposed to be!”

The original plan was to get into a contractual marriage and live extravagantly without doing anything. What’s that? The Royal Family made a scheme to stop Sephiel from doing what she wants to do?

‘Since it’s already become like this, I’ll just take everything in the name of revenge…!’ <<less

Isabella Dunkeld is a notorious evil woman, hated by her family and scorned by everyone. But things take a strange turn when a powerful demon lord from the demon realm finds herself trapped in her body.... more>>

‘How did I end up in this body?’ The demon has no memory of making a contract with Isabella, yet here she is, stuck and powerless. To avoid revealing her true identity, she must act as ‘human’ as possible.

“So, how many people have I killed with these hands? Hundreds? Thousands?”

“Um… you haven’t killed anyone.”

“Not a single person, yet they call me an evil woman?”

Humans are incomprehensible to the demon.

***

To complete the contract and escape Isabella’s body, the demon must fulfill her most fervent wish: ‘Make my family regret everything.’ With an indifferent father and a lunatic brother, the demon decides to get closer to these worthless family members.

“Hey, if you talk like that, you make us sound like tr*sh.”

“You are tr*sh. Reflect on that, tr*sh.”

Is this how it’s done? <<less

I found myself transmigrated into a horror game, however…... more>>

【Inventory】
[Bloody Knife]
[Suspicious Poison]
[Severed Wrist]

My inventory held a collection of rather suspicious items.

【System】The severed wrist, in search of its owner, oddly took a liking to you.
【System】Favorability of '■■' towards Heyna has increased by 1.

Even the ghosts within the game favor me.

Ah, it seems that I am the villain of this horror game.

Furthermore,

1. Achieve True Ending
2. Eliminate the Villain

If they fail to eliminate the villain, they won't see the ending, and the game will come to an end.

‘I absolutely must not let anyone find out that I am the villain!’ <<less

Q. Describe how you felt when your trusted Dad wasn’t an extra.... more>>

A. W, what… Give me back my role as ‘Passing Imperial Citizen 1’

During the war 365 days a year!

A crazy worldview where there is no day without worry!

It was a blessing to be born as an extra here.

“Princess~ Wake up~♡”

“Ah, my pretty daughter♡♡.”

Besides, living a simple life in a mountain village with a nice and sweet dad (James Brown, 27, Extra) is the best!

—and that’s what I thought.

“Look! The person who just appeared is my father! A symbol of commoner men, brown hair and brown eyes!”

“….”

“He’s just the Passing Imperial Citizen 1 even if you look at it, and he’s a 27-year-old unmarried father living in a mountain village with a young daughter and working hard to make a living.”

The Knight Commander only looked at me indifferently.

“—Excuse me, sir? Over there? Whoa!”

At that moment, The Knight Commander was startled and drew his sword. I looked back instinctively.

‘…Daddy?’

Blue energy was rising above my daddy’s wooden poker. I rubbed my eyes and watched it again.

‘W, what’s that?’

At the next moment. Daddy’s brown hair and brown eyes, which were symbols of Extra 1— gradually changed.

“Oh my.”

Anyone can see, ‘I’m the main character!’ with his dazzling silver hair and sparkling blue eyes!

‘E, excuse me? Isn’t he a 27-year-old unmarried father living in a mountain village with a young daughter—’

—James? Is this real?

“Give me my daughter, you bastard.” <<less

The third time to die after suffering from the same rare disease in the BL novel.... more>>

She can’t die in vain like this anymore.

So, special measures were taken.

‘Let’s put a spoon on the well-prepared medicine table!’

Young master, I won’t miss a single drop of medicine and a breath!

She disguised herself as a servant and tried to serve the sick Young Master.

It couldn’t get any better than this that even the power of the spirits from his breath heals me!

But it was not easy to do that—.

“Get out! Get out!—I’m sick of everything now!!!—Wait. What are you doing on your knees now?”

“Master, if you’re going to throw it away, please put it in my mouth.”

I was embarrassed and told him this while trying to stop him from turning his arm around and throwing a medicine bottle.

“I don’t care if you spray it on my face—”

The Young Master’s pupils were wildly changing at the time.

I’m a woman who does what I have to do.

As much as possible, I took good care of my master, who is my lifesaver.

As well as serving, I gave hugs, carried him, and became his legs and walked around everywhere.

Did he recognize my true value as the heir to a venerable Duke?

The master looked at me tiredly from time to time, but he did not kick me out.

Now, you must have recovered, and you must have paid back your kindness.

When I was slowly trying to escape—.

—The Young Master has become weird.

“Where are you trying to run away when you like me so much?”

“…..”

“You said you’d die without me.”

Suddenly, he had the face of a hungry predator. <<less

After a year possessed as an extra, I picked up the dying mastermind.... more>>

But this man seems to have amnesia.

“What kind of relationship were we?”

And a strange misunderstanding!

“Whenever I see you my heart beats violently, my head hurts like it’s going to break, and I feel dizzy.”

“Tha, that’s…”

“What is it if it is not love?”

That’s not love, it’s because I smashed the back of your head.

***

Dillian’s misunderstanding started then grew out of control.

“If we’re not lovers, we’re a married couple.”

“That’s not it…”

“I will take care of it, I will pay you for the rest of my life.”

“…”

“So wife, you must not leave my side.”

His touch reached my foot. Slowly and smoothly his hand climbed up, wrapped around my ankle.

As if, it’s like I got shackled.

“Lea, what if I leave, you will kill me?”

“How can I do that?”

He responded lightly with a smiling voice.

“I’m going to kill the man who took you.”

…I think I got caught by the wrong one. <<less

In the prologue of a game, I possessed the body of an extra villain who became the opportunity for the male leads and heroine to meet.... more>>

The game just simply said, ‘Laura Laurus took advantage of his weakness to demand Yve's love.’

Since it was described as such, when she read it, she vaguely thought that she was a villain who liked the male lead.

‘I’ve never heard of a relationship this deep!’

☄

The silver eyes that always sparkled so brightly seemed to have become dull and sunken today.

“Laura, where have you been?”

“I have some business to run for a moment.”

“You’ve been hanging out with my brother a lot lately.”

“Well, that’s...”

Since it was a story related to the original work, I couldn't tell Yve.

The more I couldn't answer easily, the more Yve's eyes became cloudy.

“Are you going to abandon me?”

“What?”

“I have dedicated my first time to you…”

For a moment, I tried to say that it was the same for me, but I regained my reason.

Laura didn't know why Yve was like this, but she seemed like she needed to calm down first.

“Yves, you seem to be mistaken…”

“Or maybe... are you already sick of me? I admit that I was clumsy because it was my first time.”

A red warning light flashed in her head. It must be a signal to run away quickly because something strange is going on.

But I couldn't move because of the strong arms that wrapped around my waist.

“Give me one more chance. I can do better next time.”

No, I don’t need it, I'm fine! <<less

She had lived alone in the Mage Tower for nearly 300 years.... more>>

Her hobby was watching the view outside her window, and her job was exterminating monsters.

She thought she would spend her entire life as a hero and the Master of the Mage Tower.

But then, overnight, her body suddenly became younger.

And to make matters worse, people started mistaking her for her own daughter!

What? How could I be my own daughter?

How could a child suddenly appear out of nowhere?

I haven’t even married anyone!

“I am the father of this child.”

And amidst all this chaos, that Crown Prince had the audacity to claim he was the father.

It was clear—he must have been holding a grudge because she had rejected his marriage proposal.

Now, she had to protect her own reputation while also dealing with the life of a child.

There wasn’t a single peaceful day in her life anymore.

But something felt strange.

That man… he seemed surprisingly sincere.

Even the Imperial Family began to genuinely care for her.

Why? Why me?

For the first time in her life, she found herself living among people instead of fighting monsters,

in the story of an old and weary hero’s struggles to adapt to an ordinary life. <<less

[As you probably already know, I'm leaving you this letter only to keep my promise.]... more>>

Elisha, the Archmage of the Cardion Empire, and the fiancee of Emperor Erich wrote.

[The prince-no, Your Majesty, always said, "I'd rather die than marry you!"]

One day, she suddenly disappears, leaving only a letter to her fiance.

But contrary to what Elisha expected that he wouldn't try to find her, Erich immediately starts looking for her.

"Whether it's inside or outside of the Empire, find her."

When you find her and bring her back to me, then…

"We'll make a new promise."

***

"Your Majesty."

Whatever the reason, Elisha couldn't let Erich find her, but soon after, she found herself straining against the grip on her hand.

"Please."

Erich shook his head and opened his mouth again. The hand that was holding Elisha's wrist went down and took her hand.

"Don't leave." <<less

In a romance fantasy novel, I am just an extra that only causes problems for other people.... more>>

Obviously, my reputations is lacking, but I have the most money!

“I’m going to live my life by being a ‘failure’ moderately, but spending my money invisibly!

I also want to have a cat and a dog that I’ve been dreaming of, spending my money like water, and maintaining a proper unfavorable reputation. YOLO, my flower path of life!. By the way, I realized that there’s something strange. Even if I try hard to get my reputation ruined…

“You recognized the swindler in advance, you’re so wise.”
What? I really thought he was a good person.

“You have a dragon, father is proud of you.”
No, I picked it up because I thought it was a cat.

Finally, after a series of ‘unwanted’ successes…
“The future of the Duke Pharadi depends on you Ashtelin. Please be my master!”

In this life, where I have been laid back and comfortable, the future of overworked and overburdened begins to come!

***

Ashtelin took a deep breath while watching the dragon, Ferdnan, who she thought was a cat. It’s time to part away with the dragon.

“Ferdnan, can we go our separate ways now?”
“No. We’ve …. kissed.”

“What!? No!? When have we ever done that!?”
“If you don’t remember, let’s do it again.”

The problem is ….
“Did you forget the night we spent together?”

This dragon really doesn’t know how to back off! <<less

When I opened my eyes, I had become a princess.... more>>

Despite all the time spent diligently watching historical dramas, I found myself reincarnated in a version of Joseon with a worldbuilding entirely detached from actual history—not as a royal princess, but as a lesser princess—born as the daughter of the lowest-ranking concubine.

I just wanted to live quietly, but things didn’t go my way. In the end...

…I ended up driving away Lady Yeongbin and her son, who had been aiming for the vacant queen’s seat…!

That’s when I realized—this world was eerily similar to a novel I once read!

Somehow, I—who was doomed to disappear early on as Extra no.1 due to the schemes of the final boss—no, the ultimate villain—Lady Yeongbin and her son, Prince Gyeongeon—ended up eliminating them instead!

Thanks to that, the crown prince, who should have been assassinated, is still alive—

And the grand prince, who should have grown mistrustful of humanity after a bitter fight for the crown prince position, is completely fine!

I couldn’t help but wonder if this was okay, but… well, it should be, right?

Even though the story had strayed far from the original novel, I was reassured by the unexpectedly peaceful developments and just wanted to enjoy life. But...

Things in this world never go as one hopes.

*****

“So, Sia, don’t you miss your father?”

“Nope.”

Honestly, I see my biological father far too often.

“Royal Father, I believe my sister might actually be a genius.”

“Hm?”

This crown prince is kind, handsome, and even a life-saver, but somewhat foolish.

“Apologize. You did something bad in front of the kittens.”

“?”

The kid is sweet, but he has an annoying older brother, six years older than him.

I get it, life’s hard for everyone, but…

If he needs comfort, he could just adopt a puppy or have his own kids...

*****

“I heard that Confucian scholars send boats afloat on the Han River to watch the falling flowers. It’s said to be beautiful.”

“That sounds lovely. I’d love to see it someday.”

“Let’s go see it together later.”

Is this kid… trying to flirt with me right now? <<less

On my birthday, my younger sister, who had run away with the man who was supposed to be my husband, returned.... more>>

"Is it alright if I stay at the main house, sister?"

Just as my hand was about to fly at her brazen request, an unexpected man intervened.

"No. That would be a bit difficult."

My younger brother's best friend. The ultimate king of being cheeky and subtly annoying people, Lennox Diorne!

"You're s*upid and cute. Are you just going to end up embarrassed like this? Getting caught up with your sister who returned after 3 years?"

At his teasing whisper, I unknowingly wrapped my arms around his neck.

"You're here now, Darling?"

Without realizing it was an impulse that would backfire on me. <<less

She enticed the successor to the Duke of Lisianthus. ... more>>

He sneakily grabbed my hand. I sighed and twisted my hand out of his grip.

“We can’t do this as friends.”

“Are you ashamed of holding my hand even once, Leen?”

No matter how much I think about what Carson said, with his face showing ‘I barely held one hand’, it doesn’t seem that way.

“I can do more with you, Leen.”

Those words seemed to ring in my head, but the blue pupils were headed in a different direction – you can’t even look me in the eye. I mean, it’s not convincing to say those kinds of words with such a shy face, you punk.

◇◇◇

The Duchess took something out from the purse in her arms.

“Do you need money? Then take this money and break up with Carson, take it without hard feelings.”

I stared silently into the thick pockets that the Duchess gave. Then I tapped my chin and gave her a serious look.

“We’re not dating, we’re friends. Do you want me to cut off my friendship with Carson from today?”

Will the Duchess get up from her seat, trembling, and slap my face? Or are you going to spray water on me?

“Pass!”

“Ye-yes?”

My face slowly blushed with embarrassment.

What’s with her unexpected reaction?! <<less
