No Longer Your Puppet, Duke The Handsome Stalker
A nurse's shriek shattered the morning stillness.Roselyn dropped the pen she was holding. Before she could process the words that followed, ink splattered across the unsigned report, forming a dark, jagged stain."Grand Duchess! Lady Lexcan has regained consciousness!"Her desk chair skidded backward with a harsh, scraping sound. Roselyn was running before her mind could even make the conscious decision to do so, her gown fluttering wildly behind her as she dashed through the seemingly endless corridors.Two days of waiting without a definitive answer from the physicians, two days of holding her breath every time the door to the Emerald Room creaked, had finally culminated in a single sentence that left her chest trembling somewhere between pure relief and the sheer ter
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Shadows That Never Fade
The warm water cascading from Roselyn’s head to the tips of her fingers could not wash away the sticky sensation lingering in her memory.She scrubbed her palms repeatedly, even though the dried blood stains had long since vanished along with the soap.The maid assisting her bath did not dare to utter a word, merely keeping her head bowed while occasionally stealing glances at the Grand Duchess’s vacant gaze fixed upon the bathroom wall.‘This isn't the first time I’ve seen blood because of me. If something happens to Rieta, the Baroness and the entire population of the North will curse me.’She remembered the final image of Vivianne. Even a woman hailed as a "Jewel" could go mad to the point of losing her life because of her.
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Her Sister’s Enemy
The coppery smell of fresh blood clashed sharply with the pungent scent of brewing herbal decoctions inside the Emerald Chamber.The spacious room, adorned with deep green gems, was usually reserved for the kingdom's distinguished guests. But this afternoon, its atmosphere had turned grim, repurposed into a makeshift infirmary."You must be examined as well, Grand Duchess," Mrs. Hargrove said, her face lined with deep anxiety."I am fine.""At the very least, please change your gown."Roselyn didn't answer. Her gaze remained rigidly fixed forward.The moment she stepped past the threshold of the Emerald Chamber, her heart felt as though it had stopped beating.
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Someone to Kill
The carriage bearing the Lexcan family crest stood ready in the front courtyard of Castle Valthorne.The late afternoon air was still biting, carrying a cold wind that whipped a light dusting of snow around the castle steps.Baroness Lexcan, whose health had not yet fully recovered, was already resting inside the carriage. This left Rieta standing outdoors, waiting to bid a final farewell to the rulers of the North."Thank you for your immense generosity, Grand Duke," Rieta said, her voice ringing clear against the howling wind. "I will not forget your warm hospitality.""My apologies for not being able to host you properly during your stay.""Think nothing of it, Grand Duke. And once more, I deeply apologize for my bro
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Melting the Ice Behind the Door
The doorknob ahead felt as cold as ice when Roselyn’s fingers brushed against it.After Rieta had said her goodbyes, her figure retreating down the corridor in her heavy mourning dress, a heavy silence once again claimed every corner of Castle Valthorne."Even though it wasn’t her fault," Roselyn murmured.She could still see the way Rieta’s shoulders had shaken as she apologized over and over. Roselyn looked down at the silver tray in her hands.The warm steam rising from the breakfast dish was already thinning, losing its battle against the winter chill seeping through the grand corridor windows.Taking a long, steady breath, Roselyn tried to ease
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke You Are on My Mind
Twelve resignation letters sitting on Kaelus’s desk successfully silenced Valthorne Castle this morning.There was no bustling patter of servants' footsteps like usual, leaving only an unsettling stillness echoing through the corridors.“So they really left?” whispered a knight currently on patrol.“Shh, keep it down. I heard they won’t be able to work anywhere else again.”“Well… if it’s gone that far, I think the Master might have been a bit too harsh.”“Though he acts cold, the Master is actually soft-hearted. It’s just that he loses his rationality whenever it involves the Grand Duchess.”Rieta stoo
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Warm Snow
A stifling silence enveloped the balcony, broken only by the sound of Roselyn’s ragged, fractured breaths. Before her, Kaelus stood motionless, like an ice sculpture untouched by time.Roselyn lowered her head, trying to steady her racing heart. "Forgive me for forcing you to witness such a shamefu
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Just For A Moment
Three days of confinement were enough for the bruises on Roselyn’s body to fade from a deep purple to a dull yellow. Thanks to the Elysium from her uncle, the wound on her forehead had dwindled to a thin red line.Vogard personally ensured that the mark was buried under layers of powder before drag
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke The Required Sacrifice
Former life. The third year of being the Duchess D’Arest.Roselyn still remembered the exact color of the gown she wore that night—a deep crimson. Chosen by Derrick because he claimed the color made his wife look "exquisite to show off." She stood outside her husband's study door, waiting for nearl
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Heartless Escort
The former mistress of the North said nothing for a moment.She simply nodded, as if she understood perfectly. Yet there was no way a seasoned knight who had once led an army through a raging blizzard for three days and
