At the End of Ruin, There You Are (56 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 19
The incident in which Duchess Monde was officially banned from entering the Imperial Palace was a tragedy for House of Monde, who desperately needed to mingle in high society to gather money and repay their debts, but merely a sensational headline for everyone else, adding glitter to the gossip columns of the social circles.
What an utterly thrilling story! Good heavens, right after the sudden announcement that Grand Duke Lusenford and Princess Ostein are to be married, one exciting event after another keeps happening!
The marriage itself was already intriguing enough, but then Duchess Monde—on the same day—reportedly ignored Princess Ostein’s greeting in the morning and got banned from the Imperial Palace by evening!
Klein high society, pretending to conceal their vulgar curiosity with a thin veneer of decorum, threw even more lavish events, eagerly chasing the latest rumors. Events drew crowds, and crowds inevitably brought new stories—who could possibly refuse?
“I heard, you see, that Duchess Monde already confronted Grand Duke Lusenford herself and gave him a proper scolding. Is that true?”
Gentlemen, feigning ignorance despite already knowing everything, asked pointedly to coax the story out once more.
“Who doesn’t know that? Her voice was so loud it echoed through the Imperial Palace corridors! It was so noisy that His Imperial Majesty the Emperor couldn’t possibly have missed it.”
Ladies, putting on airs of elegance, eagerly fanned the flames of gossip. It was the typical scene in Klein high society.
“Frankly, Monde had to suffer a bit. Without Lusenford, they’ve no means to repay their debts—now they’ve even had to sell off building materials from their own estate, and on top of that, the marriage fell through. What else could they possibly have left?”
“But even so, ignoring a greeting from someone practically her daughter’s age—how could she? Where’s her sense of propriety? She ought to feel ashamed.”
Elderly matrons and gentlemen shook their heads, adding their blunt remarks more openly—precisely because their age acted as a shield, allowing them to speak more vividly. The more cranky they were, the more direct their words became.
“Since the Emperor himself decreed this marriage, obviously she couldn’t protest to His Majesty. Grand Duke Lusenford’s a soldier, so reasoning with him is useless—leaving Princess Ostein as the only easy target, isn’t that right?”
“Even while buried under debt, she kept spending extravagantly. Now she can’t even tell the difference between a mere duke and a member of the Imperial Family.”
Words sharpen with every retelling. This was precisely why House Ostein remained utterly silent—they didn’t need to mention Duchess Monde at all, since everyone else was already talking about her.
The Emperor had settled the matter, and society naturally followed his decree. Thus, House Monde inevitably became isolated.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
