Selected as the New Stepmother (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 30
I was just about to call for you.
Rublion ignored the Duke’s words and strode toward me, then suddenly pulled me into a tight embrace.
“Ajumma, I’m so happy.”
I raised my hand and gently stroked the back of his head. I noticed Viscount Tyrrel rubbing his nose with his fingers, as if annoyed.
“But why are my tears still falling?”
The child buried his face against my shoulder and rubbed vigorously. As I patted his back, I suddenly looked over at the Duke.
He, who had remained expressionless moments before, was now smiling faintly as he watched Rublion.
‘So he knows how to smile.’
Something felt strangely rushed, but since the Kid was happy and I’d negotiated satisfactorily, I decided to let it go.
‘I did promise to protect him….’
Ironically, among all the conversations I’d had with the Duke, only the words “I’ll protect you” kept circling in my mind.
Perhaps I just wanted to rely on someone—anyone.

I had been pondering Anna’s position. The Duke, aware of this, kindly arranged for her to serve as my personal maid during my stay at the Duke’s residence.

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:

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…
