Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 80
Windsor slowly crossed the room and opened the door. As he had expected, Jacqueline, who had been pacing in one spot, froze and turned to look at him.
Only then did Jacqueline’s feet settle quietly onto the floor. Windsor, who had been gazing down at her feet, slowly lifted his eyes.
“What are you doing?”
“A respectable lady cannot knock on a strange man’s door at such a late hour, can she?”
Jacqueline wore a haughty expression befitting a proud noblewoman. Each time she spoke, the oil lamp in her hand swayed gently.
A deep shadow crossed Windsor’s brow.
“So you deliberately made noise with your footsteps?”
“As I thought it over, it occurred to me that Lord Preston’s bedroom would surely have both water bottles and liquor bottles. When I quietly asked a maid, she confirmed exactly that. And after all, Lord Preston initially suspected me, didn’t he? Ah, of course, I don’t resent you for it…”
Not that she resented him—perhaps she merely felt slighted.
Taking a quiet breath under his intense gaze, she continued.
“Then there’s only one possible answer: you followed me out after hearing my footsteps in the hallway in the middle of the night—whether it was to keep an eye on me or for some other reason.”
“At first, that was true.”
Windsor suddenly spoke. He couldn’t understand why he felt so uneasy, but rubbing his chin, he offered an uncharacteristic excuse.
“But not later on.”
At those words, Jacqueline gave him a gentle smile. She extended the oil lamp toward him.

Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
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…
