It seemed his friend didn’t know that he actually felt like bowing to the princess.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Elysia, who had been enjoying a peaceful tea time, could not contain her shock when she rushed down to the first floor at the urgent call of the maids.
“Eve, you! Did you roll Young Lady on the ground?!”
Elysia, who had run all the way, cried out in urgency.
Considering that the wellbehaved Young Lady would not have caused Eve to be in this state first, it was clear that our daughter had charged in like a beast first.
“No! Why do you take it out on me!”
It’s unfair! It’s unfair! I’m also a proper lady!!
Evelia’s cheeks puffed up.
I’m really sorry. For splashing a bit of mud, for getting hit by some fruit.
“I can’t live, really! I’ll apologize once again, Duchess. Eve is so…”
“Rellian said it was fun…”
This is an atmosphere where I’m going to get a spanking.
Evelia, covering her butt with both hands, tiptoed behind Arkhan.
“Duchess, thanks to the Princess, I really had a lot of fun. I didn’t know the garden was so beautiful.”
Seeing Evelia sneaking behind her brother, Rellian smiled brightly and chimed in.
Rellian’s cheeks, always pale, were flushed with pink.
She looked like a child without a single ailment, rather than her usual dolllike appearance.
Probably because she had run around the garden.
“Ah…”
A faint tear welled up and disappeared in the Duchess’s eyes as she watched this.
It was the appearance of a child that she had always wished for.
The woman who had been the Duke’s lover had died in childbirth, so there was no proper object of resentment left for the Duchess.
As long as Nepir doesn’t cross the line, she had no intention of taking the initiative to get her hands dirty and have an awkward relationship with the Duke.
All she wanted was for Rellian not to get hurt.
Meanwhile, Ikrian looked at his laughing little sister and tearyeyed mother with a heavy heart.
‘It’s good to see.’
His sister, who always felt as if she was somewhere else even when they were in the same space.
It was wonderful to see such a sister running around like a puppy following the princess.
Ikrian’s violet eyes softened as he watched his sister clean the mud from Evelia’s face.
‘How can I get the Princess to come and play more often.’
Ikrian’s clever mind calculated the possibilities as he thought of dozens of ways to make the Princess and his sister meet as often as possible.
Reaching the highthreshold duchy from here had its limitations.
So, it was only sensible to make it so that the princess would have to visit the Count’s mansion.
“That sounds like a good idea.”
A confident smile spread across Icrian’s lips.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Icrian was extraordinarily smart.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that all the wizards of the Magic Tower coveted him for his potential to be the next Archmage.
So, for him, luring in a little fiveyearold chick with some grain was nothing.
A few days later.
He sent a gift to the Duchy of Artina.
This item, which he had obtained by posing the condition of “I will join as a wizard affiliated with the Magic Tower” to the wizards, was sufficient to win Evelia’s heart.
So, it was the perfect bait.
It seemed like a typical fairy tale book at first glance, but once you opened the pages, it was not.
With an interesting story created by Icrian’s brilliant mind, thanks to a wizard who was known for drawing good pictures in the Magic Tower adding fitting illustrations and even applying magic, it sparkled and moved incessantly.
The fairy tale book completely captured Evelia’s gaze.
“Wow! Indeed, there are many people in the world!”
[A person with ability. That’s what you say when there are many.]“Oh. That. Look at this. It moves!!”
Even Undine was focusing on the fairy tale book with an interested look.
The fairy tale book he sent this time was about a little chick going on a journey to find a cozy nest for a good sleep.
“The chick is going on a sleep journey. Sleep is very important.”
As she was reading frantically while looking at the chick picture sparkling and moving with magic.
“The crow soaked the little chick in water and pecked at it. Poor thing. The end.
Continued in Volume 2.”
“……Why, why is it ending like this?”
She was so flustered that she couldn’t speak properly.
Is this a disaster? Was this supposed to be a horror story rather than a fairy tale?
The young chick that set off on a sleep journey was eaten by a crow, and it continues in Volume 2?
The main character chick is dead?
Thinking that the end might have been cut off, she shook the fairy tale book upside down.
A note fell out that had been stuck to the last page of the book.
Evelia quickly unfolded the note.
“The young chick is still alive. However, the next book is enchanted to burn if it goes out of the Count’s mansion, so I regret to say that you will have to visit. If you do not come, the young chick might get digested in the crow’s stomach. E. K.”
Icrian was meticulous.
He even set up magic to burn the book if it went out of the Count’s mansion, and by his own hand.
Icrian, who was called a onceinalifetime genius, anticipated.
The princess would frequently visit the Count’s mansion in the future.
“The…… the chick will be digested……. Brother! We have to go before it gets digested!”
And that prediction was realized without error. As most of his plans did.
Arkhan, who rushed in at his sister’s urgent call, understood the situation at a glance when he saw the fairy tale book and the note.
“This foxlike bastard…….”
The note was crumpled in Arkhan’s hand.
He pulled out one of the swords displayed in the hallway and called Evelia.
“Let’s go. Eve. Right now.”
“Why are you bringing a sword to save the chick?”
“We have to catch the fox first to save our chick. Let’s go.”
Our brother’s expression is very grim.
He seemed very sincere about saving the chick.
Evelia simply smiled brightly and nodded.

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
