My Fiancé Keeps Trying to Raise Me (16 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 43
When she arrived at the Grand Ducal Palace, Anet planned to carefully learn everything she needed—from imperial court etiquette, which she should have originally studied while residing in the palace, to other essential accomplishments.
‘And naturally, during that process, there would be discussions about her role as Grand Duchess and mistress of the household.’
Previously, Anet had told Kardin that because she had lived her life wielding only a sword, she knew nothing about managing a noble household’s internal affairs.
That had been true, and honestly, she still lacked confidence in it.
But that didn’t mean she was completely ignorant of matters like understanding financial conditions or how to read account books.
After all, she had served nearly ten years as both vice-commander and commander of the Royal Knights, managing the distribution of knights’ salaries and supplies like weapons and armor—all under a severely inadequate budget—and even engaging in exhausting negotiations with the Treasury Department.
‘Of course, managing the knights’ order is entirely different from overseeing a household’s internal affairs…’
Still, she thought it wouldn’t be too difficult to verify general operating expenses—such as servants’ wages and maintenance fees—through ledgers or to allocate budgets for stocking up on essentials like food and sundries.
No, even if she struggled, she was determined to handle it properly—because she was confident in her diligence and perseverance, at the very least.
Thus, during her stay at the Grand Ducal household, Anet’s goal was to convince the Grand Duke that she was capable enough to manage the household as its mistress.
‘After all, marriage doesn’t instantly grant real authority.’
Back when she was commander, her meticulously prepared budget proposals were frequently rejected due to lacking the king’s formal approval.
She had no desire to relive a similar experience.
‘Most of all, if I show myself to be competent, they won’t keep treating me like a child.’
Though part of her felt this line of thinking was somewhat childish, Anet deliberately ignored it—because her desire to appear mature outweighed everything else.

An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
