Franz sent invitations to the prominent families of the nobility. The people gathered at a small teatime in the capital were initially puzzled to see the invitations sent under the name of the Duke of Lexion rather than the three daughters.
However, after reading the invitations, the attendees were once again left speechless.
“Formal successor to inherit the title? Lexon’s Viscount?”
“Well, I suppose children born to other nobles would inherit their fathers’ titles.”
Certainly, if the Duke of Lexion were to ascend to the throne, one of them might inherit the viscount title. However, it seemed that none of them had received as much magical power as the son of Lady Leia, and there was a risk of the family being shaken.
But then, a figure appeared to change the game.
“The hidden son of the eldest daughter, who had an extraordinary amount of magical power….”
The previously circulated newsletters had only mentioned that the child inheriting Lexon’s blood had been rescued and brought by the Lady of Portrion Manor.
However, when the Duke promptly recognized him as the official successor and even threw a welcoming party, people couldn’t help but be surprised.
The Duke’s proactive moves meant only one thing.
“Now that there’s an heir to take responsibility for Lexon, the Duke’s actions will be more unrestricted.”
“Even if he sits on the throne, having someone to take care of the family is crucial.”
“It might be an unexpected boon for Viscount Gatoque?”
He was a man who had gained recognition from none other than the Duke of Lexon. Those who knew that the Duke wouldn’t entrust important matters to someone he didn’t see eye to eye with swallowed their bitter saliva.
On the other hand, there were those who viewed Baelter’s appearance with ambiguity.
“For now, isn’t he just the son of the deceased daughter that they’re bringing along?”
“He may have received a lot of magical power, but… isn’t it a bit early for discussions about the title, considering he hasn’t received systematic education from a young age?”
“I heard rumors that he spent a long time as a servant in the Portrion mansion. To become the lord of Lexon seems a bit much.”
People speculated on how much influence the sudden appearance of Lexon’s heir would have on the political scene in the capital and pondered while sipping tea.
????????????
“When the Duke has time, it would be nice to take a walk together in the garden.”
Leaving the Star Palace and heading towards the main building of the Duke’s mansion. Edith listened to Vivian’s words and let out a small laugh.
‘Until recently, it was common to address him by his name.’
Vivian, who had become a perfect employee of Lexon after spending only a few days in the beautiful and comfortable Star Palace, negotiated her salary and received training to serve as the host for Lexon, as well as enthusiastically taking on the role of addressing Baelter as ‘young master.’
“Well, yes. It would be nice if he has time, but he’s probably busy until the welcoming party ends, don’t you think?”
Formally, Baelter’s bedroom and private study were located in the main building of the mansion. In the midst of busyness, preparing for the sudden situation of greeting people at the center of the party, he was hastily acquiring manners and grooming.
Even in the midst of the hustle and bustle, every time Edit stopped by the Star Palace to greet her and the child before going to bed, it made her chest tickle like feathers were swallowed.
‘We meet during meals, but it would be nice to have time to talk just the two of us.’
Edit wanted to ask Baelter more about awakening magical power, but the circumstances seemed busy, and the opportunity didn’t present itself easily.
How much strain does awakening magical power put on his body, and will there be anything she can do to help?
She wanted to discuss such matters, but today, as she was on her way to dress for another busy day, it seemed difficult to find time for just the two of them.
“This way, my lady.”
Vivian, who had memorized the layout of the mansion, guided her through the sunny and large hall.
There, more dresses, accessories, and all sorts of shoes were displayed than Edit could imagine.
Especially regarding the dresses, there were so many that it was hard to believe they had been prepared in just a few days. Well-dressed designers came and explained.
“It’s an honor to meet you, Lady of the Manor. Hestia has entrusted the measurements in advance.”
“Since Lady Hestia has an excellent eye for size, if you take a quick look, you’ll know the measurements. She insisted on giving you a custom-made piece rather than a ready-made one.”
“Shall we start with this outfit? We heard you prefer comfortable designs, so we tried to prepare something as comfortable as possible.”
The designers internally thought, observing Edit, who had stiffened with embarrassment.
‘Lady Hestia personally taking care of the clothes is only for the Duke or other daughters.’
‘Well, considering that Lady Hestia saved her niece, it’s understandable that she takes special care.’

One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
