021 Aldor 2

Chapter 021 Aldor 2The sky above Aldor darkened, and the cold wind carried the scent of damp earth and smoke from the torches lit along the fortress city's streets. Inside a tightly sealed meeting room, Alwyn sat at a long table with maps of Aldor and Ironvale spread out before him. Marcel and Wilham stood at his sides, while across from them, Edric Valmond and Calen sat silently, each with expressions difficult to decipher.“The latest report we received mentions movement from an armed group near the mines,” Wilham said, his tone flat yet sharp. “Not much, but enough to make the workers uneasy.”Edric sighed, his hands clenched on the table. “We’ve sent additional patrols there. But so far, there’s no sign of open resistance.”“Because they’re not that foolish,” Marcel interrupted, narrowing his eyes sharply at Edric. “They know when to move and when to hide. If we rely only on patrols without decisive action, we’re just waiting for them to be ready to strike.”Edric seemed ready to

022 Three Guest

Chapter 022 Three GuestsIt had been two days since Hugh left the Manor for a regional inspection and to observe the progress of the Skythia Castle construction. Initially, Alwyn wanted to prioritize building a railway and a station to access the deeper regions of Skythia. However, Hugh insisted on prioritizing the castle's construction over the railway. His reasoning was that Skythia had only just been conquered, and the possibility of resistance groups still operating in the area remained. Therefore, the defense at the heart of Skythia needed to take precedence.The debate over constructing the castle as a defense center versus building the railway to facilitate the distribution of essential supplies across Skythia was quite intense. Not only was Skythia a new region, with much of it devastated by the war, but the available funds also had to be carefully allocated for various other needs. On top of that, Hugh's frequent absences due to urgent matters meant that the planning and appr

023 Griffith

Chapter 023: GriffithA while after the incident with the trio of viscountesses, Atthy sat cross-legged by the window, holding a book whose contents she didn’t understand. With her gaze focused outside, watching a scenery unfamiliar to her, her mind was busy contemplating many things, her dangling leg swinging back and forth.''Should I?!''''But, he left without saying anything to me...''''Although... he did it because there was an urgent matter.''''But... this marriage was sudden for me too. So, what should I do now?''''How should I explain this to Father... to Grandfather... to...''Atthy murmured seriously, throwing various questions to herself. So deep in thought, she forgot that she was wearing a glory gown and was in the Manor. While there wasn’t a written rule, her posture as a lady sitting in this manner seemed unconventional.''Duchess...''''Duchess...''Lily called out several times to Atthy, who was lost in her dilemma.''Hmm!'' Atthy was startled when Lily finally dar

024 Integrity

Chapter 024: IntegrityAtthy sat lost in thought, contemplating the stories her father and Ay had shared with her. She couldn’t help but wonder why the tales circulating among the people of Nauruan about Grand Duke Griffith seemed so different from what she had just heard from Lily.''Duchess!'' Lily called out, noticing Atthy’s silence and serious expression as she seemed deep in thought.''Hm,'' Atthy responded, raising an eyebrow as she acknowledged Lily, ''No, I’m just... thinking about a few things.''''Umh, is there anything else you’d like to ask, Duchess?''Atthy looked closely at Lily before responding.''Lily, are you happy working at the orphanage?''This time, Lily didn’t immediately respond. She paused for a moment, then answered Atthy’s question with a serious tone.''Forgive me, Duchess,'' Lily began.Atthy tilted her head in confusion at Lily’s apology.Lily took a deep breath before continuing.''I can’t answer whether I’m happy...''''Why not?''''At first, I worked

025 Observing in Silence

Chapter 025: Observing in SilenceIn a modest yet meticulously arranged study, Cavero sat at his desk, reading an official letter he had just received. The letter—delivered through proper channels and approved by Hugh—contained a brief update on the situation in Aldor and Skythia, one that might impact the port’s security.Outside, the harbor appeared calm, but Cavero knew tension was quietly brewing beneath the surface. Merchant ships were docked as usual, yet there was too much movement—odd, subtle shifts that shouldn’t be there. He tapped his fingers lightly against the desk, deep in thought, before returning his gaze to the letter in hand.Moments later, his most trusted aide, Dani, entered with measured steps and reported, “Your Highness, the latest report from the watch post indicates increased infiltration activity at the docks. All security protocols have been rechecked per Duke Griffith’s instructions.”Cavero met Dani’s eyes with composed authority, replying curtly, “Make su

026 Proving Oneself

Chapter 026 – Proving OneselfIn the quiet of the afternoon at the Manor, muted sunlight filtered through the windows, casting a warm glow over the neatly arranged drawing room. Atthy sat in a classic armchair, momentarily absorbed in the yellowed pages of an old newspaper. Though she appeared relaxed, her mind wandered far, every printed line stirring something in her soul—a soul still adjusting to the weight of a newly conferred status.A familiar, gentle voice broke the silence from the parlor door. Helena, the ever-dedicated head maid who had faithfully overseen every detail of Manor life, stepped in with a courteous smile. In a warm tone, she said,“Duchess, you seem rather engrossed in the paper. Is there something interesting?”Atthy lifted her eyes from the newspaper and offered a faint smile. “Not really… I’m just reading to pass the time…”Helena nodded before gently probing further, “Are you bored, perhaps?”Atthy paused in thought, then exhaled softly. “I don’t know…”Sile

027 Helena's Letter

Chapter 027: Helena’s Letter"Alwyn sent a letter," Kevin announced, unfurling the parchment with a curious expression.Hugh, standing nearby, narrowed his eyes as he scanned the contents. Yet it was the footnote at the end that truly caught his attention."The Duchess helped me resolve the issue more quickly. Helena has revealed some surprising matters occurring within the manor."Hugh frowned. The words lingered in his mind."What is it, Duke?" Saihan asked, noting the unusual shift in Hugh’s expression.Instead of replying, Hugh opened a drawer in his desk and retrieved another scroll—one he had received from Helena a few days prior. He read it again, this time more carefully.Your Grace, these are some of the key points we've uncovered. I hope they will aid your efforts in Granthar. The Duchess reviewed various aspects thoroughly and identified certain vulnerabilities. These are the problems you must address."According to Helena," Hugh mused silently, "the Duchess continues to pr

028 Lily and Miriam Return to the Shelter

Chapter 028 – Lily and Miriam Return to the Shelter"Good morning, Your Grace. How was breakfast today?""It was good.""Is there anything that needs improving?""Helena, it's been four days… for four days—breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner, more snacks—you've been asking me the same questions. Aren't you tired of it?""How could I be tired when it's my duty to ensure you're served to the highest standard?""But haven’t I already told you? If I need anything, I’ll say so. You’ve all done your best to take care of me. I have no complaints.""Thank you for the kind words, Your Grace. I also wanted to inform you—your three personal maids are ready to return to work.""Huh?!" Atthy exclaimed, startled as she realized she’d completely forgotten about them. "They… they're well again?"Helena’s brow furrowed slightly at the Duchess's reaction, which struck her as oddly detached. Though it left her unsettled, she said nothing."Yes, Your Grace… they’ve recovered and will resume their duties tom

029 Helena and Hugh

Chapter 029 - Helena and HughKNOCK KNOCK KNOCK"Um, come in," Atthy responded after hearing a knock at her chamber door."Oh, Helena," she greeted with a warm smile when she saw who it was."Yes, Your Grace..." Helena replied politely."Please, have a seat. Is there something you'd like to talk about?" Atthy asked kindly."Your Grace, have you been dissatisfied with my service?" Helena asked suddenly, her tone unusually serious.Atthy tilted her head, clearly confused by the question."I beg your pardon, Duchess. As you know... I’m just an orphan. It was by Grand Duke Griffith’s generosity that someone as insignificant as me was given the chance to serve—even if only in a lowly position...""Helena, cut it out!" Atthy cut in, surprised and displeased by the self-deprecating tone. "If I’ve made a mistake, say it plainly. Don't scold me in such a roundabout, pitiful way. I don’t like it, Helena.""A servant has no right to accuse a Duchess...""That’s enough!" Atthy snapped, her voice

030 Helena Whitmore

Chapter 030: Helena Whitmore#Back to the presentHelena confirmed that the "Lady Galina" standing before her was indeed an impostor, not the one described in the official report. However, she was also certain of something else—this "Lady Galina" was firm yet sincere. And that, raised a new question in Helena’s mind."She’s young, but… I’m convinced she’s not a liar. Then how could she be involved in all this?!" Helena wondered silently. "She’s an impostor, yet for the past few days… which part of her behavior was merely acting? Could the report sent to Alwyn be wrong? I don’t feel like she’s lying when she says she’s Athaleyah Galina..."“Chief Housekeeper of Duke Griffith Manor, Helena Whitmore…” Atthy called out firmly, her voice louder this time. “Have you returned to reality?”“Ha?!” Helena snapped out of her thoughts, startled. “Ah, my apologies, Your Grace… What is it?”“Helena, your job must be exhausting…” Atthy replied with a sympathetic expression. It was clear she felt for
