“Lieselotte.”

An elegant woman with her sandy hair styled elaborately approached, wrapped in a white fur shawl.

I quickly checked Euphemina’s and my appearance and adjusted my posture.

Euphemina tilted her head at my changed demeanor, then startled and hid behind me.

The woman who had already come close opened her mouth.

“It’s been so long. I heard you were here at the imperial palace and meant to visit earlier, but thought you’d be busy with official matters, so I delayed until now.”

Deep blue eyes turned kindly towards me. I also smiled softly and curtsied.

“You look even better, Your Highness the Crown Princess. Have you been well?”

This graceful woman in her late 30s, like the spring breeze, was named Adeline Maria Calante. She is the mother of Imperial Prince Raphael and the Crown Princess of the Empire.

And she and I have quite a history. Moreover…

“Crown Princess? Your Highness? I don’t know how long you’ll keep addressing me so formally and stiffly. Just call me ‘elder sister’ comfortably like before.”

…She’s someone who expresses excessive affection to the point of burdening me.

Nothing special had happened.

It seems that a very small kindness I had shown in the past was quite meaningful to her.

Even so, it’s been over a decade now, she could forget about it.

“Hehe, you’ve been saying the same thing for years, Your Highness. You should give up now.”

“Hmph, what about you who’s been stubborn for years?”

“You’ve never beaten me in stubbornness since the old days, Your Highness.”

“That’s why I’m asking you to lose this time. I sent letters for 10 years asking to help, but you pretended not to hear me? You even refused all private meetings unless we happened to meet at social gatherings.”

“…”

“Really, Lieselotte. I couldn’t have been more hurt.”

I was at a loss for words because what she said was true. But that was…

‘It was unavoidable from my position of considering her a precious friend.’

Adeline is the Crown Princess.

That also meant she would become the Empress in the future.

It has been a kind of rule and unwritten law from ancient times that the imperial family does not interfere in the affairs of noble houses.

This is a promise that is even more strictly kept because the Calante Empire is a feudal state operated by the taxes and military service of nobles who are the lords of each fief.

But the moment she, as the Crown Princess, intervenes in Daiern’s affairs saying she would help me, it breaks that principle.

If it incurs the antipathy of other nobles, loyalty towards the imperial family would naturally be jeopardized.

It’s not that I didn’t want to ask Adeline for help all this time.

But as a friend, I had to protect her position.

Adeline must have been just as frustrated, unable to act on her own.

For the imperial family to step in, they needed at least a petition from a majority of the nobles.

Still, I know that she supported and cheered me on from afar.

That’s why our relationship hasn’t soured even though we’ve met after a long time.

“Come on, if you’re sorry, just call me ‘elder sister’ comfortably from now on, Lieselotte.”

…That’s why.

‘If you want me to speak comfortably, you should at least clear the surroundings.’

My face felt hot from the numerous gazes of the palace people looking at me and Adeline.

I suppose they’re curious about what kind of relationship I, who’s been responsible for recent social gossip, am building with the future Empress.

‘It’s really too burdensome.’

And I knew what was the most effective method to use at times like this.

I deliberately coughed, ahem ahem, to disperse the focus of the conversation.

“Oh my, what was I thinking!”

Only then did she startle and put down her stubbornness.

“I’m sorry. The weather is so cold, yet I kept you standing in the garden. Let’s go to my salon. Along with the lovely young lady who’s been shyly standing behind you all this time.”

Finally, the conversation between the stubborn ones was resolved.

I brought forward Euphemina, who had been clinging tightly to the hem of my dress while warily eyeing the surroundings.

“This is my daughter, Euphemina Sishel Daiern. She’s fourteen. Euphy, greet Her Highness the Crown Princess.”

“…I am Euphemina Sishel Daiern, Your Highness the Crown Princess. It’s an honor to meet you.”

“Oh my…!”

To be honest, I didn’t expect Euphemina to properly greet with etiquette at this point.

It’s because the child hasn’t been exposed to social etiquette for long. At most, she only learned from Madam Baden a month ago.

But Euphemina showed a surprisingly proper greeting.

Of course, it was still unnatural and awkward as she hasn’t done it much, but considering she’s a young lady who hasn’t had her debutante yet, it was remarkably excellent.

Moreover, her effort to appear dignified with that small body that hasn’t even grown yet was so lovable that I wanted to bite her.

‘It’s not just because she’s my daughter, she’s really cute…!’

I can declare this wasn’t just my thought.

Adeline too was covering her mouth with heart eyes while looking at Euphemina’s adorable appearance.

“Li, Lieselotte. How on earth did you… keep such a daughter who looks exactly like you hidden until now!”

Look… alike?

At that moment, I was stunned by such unexpected words.

Of course, Euphemina and I are not blood-related at all.

Not only our faces, but also our hair and eye colors are different, so coldly speaking, saying we look alike was clearly a lie to make us feel good.

And yet… I felt strangely pleased.

‘Do I really look like Euphy’s real mother now?’

Yes, maybe Adeline isn’t just saying empty words.

After all, Euphemina is a child I’ve raised for 10 years, right?

When people are together, even their mannerisms become similar.

Even if only our taste in clothes and accessories are similar, we might look like a real mother and daughter to others!

“Nice to meet you, Lady Daiern. Euphemina, what a pretty name.”

Euphemina also seemed very pleased with the comment that she resembled me.

Her scared face relaxed and showed a gentle smile.

“I may be the Crown Princess, but you can just call me ‘Aunt Adel’. I’ve been very close with your mother for a long time.”

“Can I really?”

Ah, no. Wait a moment!

“Of course you can. Then can I call you Euphy?”

“Yes, Aunt Adel!”

“Oh my, how cute!”

Good gracious. In the end, the situation where Euphemina calls the Crown Princess aunt has occurred.

Even though I didn’t want to be entangled with the imperial family like this!

It can’t be helped.

…It was my mistake. While I was feeling satisfied with a pleasant sense of fullness from Adeline’s words, I got swept along by her.

As expected of my friend. She’s become an even more formidable opponent in the time we haven’t seen each other.

“But Aunt Adel. Do I really look like mother?”

“Ohoho. Of course, of course. Where else in the world could there be such a pretty young lady if not Lieselotte’s daughter? Come here. Can I take a closer look at our Euphy?”

“Um, yes.”

But, oh no! The crisis wasn’t over.

Before I could stop her, Euphemina approached Adeline with a bright smile, led by her gentle gesture.

Only then did I remember what I had forgotten to mention.

I quickly tried to tell Adeline, who was reaching out to Euphemina, that my daughter was afraid of contact with others. But…

An amazing thing happened.

After quietly staring at Adeline’s outstretched hand for a moment, Euphemina carefully placed her own hand on top of it.

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing with my own eyes.

It felt like some kind of miracle had just occurred.

‘What on earth is happening?’

Even though she was wearing gloves, still.

‘My daughter, who had come to avoid even touching others due to her husband’s terrible upbringing…!’

To initiate contact with someone else first.

It was an astonishing event that made my heart swell.

So perhaps, I couldn’t help but think it might just be a momentary whim of Euphemina’s.

“Seeing you up close like this, you look even more like Lieselotte. Who would doubt you’re mother and daughter, even your intonation when speaking is the same.”

“Yes, I tried hard to be like mother.”

“Oh my, how admirable. But you don’t need to try so hard, anyone can see you’re Lieselotte’s daughter. Even now, you’re wearing the same brooch, the two of you.”

“Hehe, that’s right.”

I clenched my hands nervously.

If Euphemina’s mood suddenly turned unpleasant and she was rude to Adeline, it could lead to an irreparable situation.

But even until they reached the salon after leaving the garden, holding hands, the conversation between Adeline and Euphemina did not stop.

Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away

This is also on my reread list!

This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.

Definitely worth a read, y’all!

The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.

But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.

Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.

I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.

The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.

As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.

Intro

As an enchantress, Su Heng possesses captivating eyes and charming beauty, easily manipulating the joys and sorrows of living beings at her fingertips.

But to enchant a god, making him taste the bitterness of love’s separation, long-lasting resentment, unattainable desires, and inability to let go…

Do you dare?

Su Heng assists a divine lord in his cultivation, aiming to make him experience all the sufferings of love, so that he can attain the Great Dao.

Only after being chased down from the heavens by the divine lord, confined and completely possessed by him, does she realize how successful she has been.

The once gentle and polite youth has transformed into someone she no longer recognizes.
