The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 151
The Imperial Capital Pelena was splendid. As the residence of the Emperor and all manner of high nobles, even the smallest shop on a street corner stood at the forefront of every fashion, and even the poor did their utmost to adorn themselves.
In her previous life, Neris had once yearned for that splendor and taken pride in it. But near the moment of her death, it had felt meaningless—and now, having just witnessed the dignified grandeur of Maindlant, Pelena’s exaggerated colors seemed merely garish to her.
Her carriage, surrounded by Imperial Knights, entered Loyze Street, where only the highest echelons of society resided within Pelena. Dora, seated beside Neris, spoke.
“The carriage is slowing down more and more.”
Unlike his utterly unrestrained behavior in the conference room of the White Swan Castle, Adrian had shown consideration for Neris throughout her entire escort. Permitting Dora to join them—claiming he had no handmaidens of his own—was one such courtesy.
Neris still felt uneasy about leaving Dora behind, especially with her mother, who must have been shocked upon hearing her daughter was arrested on suspicion of noble murder. Yet, anything could happen during transit. Even if Adrian wished to deliver her safely, he couldn’t predict when another ambush might occur.
Thus, after much deliberation, Neris decided to trust Ellen and boarded the escort carriage with Dora. Dora, who had nearly single-handedly managed the affairs of the Western Palace and attended to Neris personally, performed the work of twelve throughout the journey.
“Yes. We’ll arrive soon.”
She welcomed the thought that this long journey was finally coming to an end. The season had changed en route, and now full winter had settled in—making travel far from comfortable. Neris nodded, but Dora, ever cautious as she had always been, narrowed her eyes alertly.
“However, this doesn’t seem to be anywhere near the Imperial Palace, milady. Stay on guard—they could attack us suddenly.”
Though it was called an escort carriage, it was merely a luxurious one, with Imperial Knights stationed around it. Thus, they could look out the windows, and Dora, seeing no structure resembling the Imperial Palace, reached that conclusion.
Yet, this surrounding area was very familiar to Neris. She replied idly.
“I see. Coming here was exactly as I expected. There won’t be any attack, so don’t worry.”
Dora blinked in surprise.
“As you expected…?”

The male lead being so proud of his wife is honestly adorable, even when he gets jealous.
And the female lead is so elegant and beautiful—I can’t wait to see this scene illustrated
Haha, did the ML really just say that to the FL? He’s so cute when he gets a little jealous.
Can’t wait for next chapter
The ML is so considerate of his wife. He treats her with so much care and gentleness, even when she doesn’t say a word—he just understands her. He’s honestly so perfect, I can’t 😭
I really hope the FL can overcome these painful feelings soon. I can’t bear to watch her suffer this much. 💔
