“Keep a close eye on Prince His.”
The Duke, who called Kyrion to his office, commanded abruptly.
“Yes?”
The Duke continued to break his fingers as if the anger had not yet subsided.
“He came asking for permission to marry just because he’s becoming the crown prince.”
Kyrion’s delicate eyebrows twisted, but he soon flashed a faint smile.
“It seems he hasn’t talked to Nuna yet.”
Kyrion, who understood His’s intentions just like the Duke, or rather, who understood Lady Reyna more accurately than His.
“So, watch him even more closely. So he won’t do anything foolish.”
At the Duke’s sharp admonition, Kyrion briefly nodded.
“I won’t take my eyes off him for a moment.”
After His had come and gone, the Duke’s somewhat low spirits seemed to improve a bit as he stared at Kyrion with satisfaction.
“By the way, you’re of the age to consider engagement now. Don’t you have an affectionate maiden in mind?”
The Duke cleared his throat unnecessarily.
“Ah, did you mention Lady Magne? She seems to be a close friend of Reyna. There was an unfortunate incident, but I think it happened because I didn’t know much about the Duke family.”
Kyrion momentarily raised the corners of his eyes sharply but soon put on a graceful smile.
“I haven’t thought about it yet.”
Wrinkles appeared again on the Duke’s forehead that had been relaxed.
“It’s time to start thinking about it now.”
Kyrion remained silent, wearing a vague smile, as the Duke sighed.
“That’s it. There’s no use wrestling with you.”
Taking a deep breath again, the Duke raised his hand along with the dismissal order.
“Let’s discuss this later.”
“Then, I’ll take my leave now.”
Watching Kyrion leave with a lowered waist, the Duke clenched his jaw against the impending headache.
“What should I do with him…”
The Duchess tapped the blackboard with a long stick several times.
“Alright. What does it say here?”
The servants gathered in the classroom where Kyrion used to study chimed in unison.
“Kyrion’s Renewal Project.”
After writing it like that, they exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.
“Is it okay not to include ‘Your Excellency’ between ‘Kyrion’ and ‘Renewal’?”
“When the rumor spreads, there won’t be any consequences, right?”
“The expression on His Excellency’s face coming out of the Duke’s office this morning was unusual…”
When Kyrion, who used to be sensitive when he was young but was quite cute, now exuded an atmosphere that no one dared to challenge.
If there was a servant they didn’t like, they could easily turn them into a miserable figure under the pretext of training, and if that happened, the Duke would increase the training amount under the pretext of Kyrion losing in a match against him.
As the newly recruited stable boy started to cry, a senior stable boy responded.
“I don’t want to duel with Kyrion Excellency again.”
“Yeah, why did he shout that he’s curious about Lady Reyna’s real appearance?”
Only Eliza sat confidently, crossing her legs.
“Aren’t you worried, Eliza?”
When another maid asked Eliza while poking her side, Eliza proudly lifted her nose to the sky.
“I’m fine because Lady Reyna will take care of me.”
Other servants looked at Eliza with envy.
“Oh, indeed, Eliza.”
“Even though she’s just a different lady’s maid, there’s something different.”
The Duchess, who became upset for no reason about her son’s mischievous behavior, cleared her throat and clapped her hands again.
“Now, whether it’s Kyrion’s Renewal Project or Kyrion Prince’s Renewal Project, the purpose is the same.”
The Duchess, who focused the servants’ attention, began to look at each person one by one with a resolute face.
“Since the history of the Duke family, we are facing the biggest crisis.”
The Duchess hit the wall with her fist.
“It’s a crisis where the lineage could be cut off!”
The servants nodded, swallowing their saliva.
“To overcome this crisis, Kyrion will be engaged unconditionally during the vacation.”
The Duchess hit the blackboard again.
“We will soon host a hunting competition. This time, we plan to invite other noble families. Be thoroughly prepared as we actively promote Kyrion’s engagement. Hopefully, Kyrion will get along well with someone of the same age in a friendly atmosphere, and as they become closer, the engagement will naturally happen… Well, anyway, nicely! Does everyone understand?”
A maid timidly raised her hand.
“Will Prince Kyrion cooperate?”
“A good point!”
The Duchess, who cheerfully acknowledged, soon pointed at me, who had been silently observing all of this.
“If it’s our angelic Reyna’s suggestion, Kyrion will surely agree!”
“Did I ask for too much…?”
After all the servants had left, the Duchess sat down next to me with a somewhat worried look.
“If Kyrion is scared and can’t do it, don’t force him.”
I forced a smile, not wanting to reveal my uneasy feelings.
“Is Kyrion scary? Not at all.”
I waved my hand but couldn’t shake off the discomfort that seemed to linger for no reason.

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…”
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…
