Chapter 181 Poliana felt curious about Frau Sneke; she also couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to marry him. What kind of life would she have? This was the first time ever for her to feel this way, and she liked it. She didn’t care that Frau wasn’t a particularly dependable man because she was dependable herself. It was okay that he didn’t have any money because she had plenty. It was also fine that he didn’t have a significant rank since hers was high enough. Frau told her he was…-

Chapter 180 Lucius the First knew that the right thing to do was to let the woman he loved go. “If you love someone, you should set her free,” right? This was especially the case recently. Ever since the incident when Stra suffered from the phantom pregnancy, the emperor was determined to forget about Poliana. He was married after all and was about to become a father too. He had to let Poliana go. He had to give up on his true love. There was no doubt that this was the logical thing to do. But even…

Chapter 179 The emperor replied, “I was thinking about hunting a deer since you like deer, right?” “Hahaha.” Poliana indeed liked deer meat, and it was actually the Acreian soldiers who introduced her to it. In the mid-continent and southern regions, the deer meat was softer while the northern deer meat was tougher and stringier. It was fun to hunt deer, so it would make an excellent hobby. It was unfortunate that Poliana’s hunting skill was average at best. Traps allowed them to have decent…

Chapter 178 When Poliana visited the emperor, Master Chail gestured to her to come closer before she entered his room. Poliana walked up to him, and Chail whispered to her ear about what happened earlier. “His highness almost collapsed this morning.” That morning was just like any other day. Lucius the First got up early and exercised before having his breakfast. He then went to work as usual. Then suddenly, he grabbed the back of his neck and groaned as if in pain. Something like this never…

Chapter 177 Frau jumped in shock. “P-pardon? Of course, I can’t! I can’t drink with a lady alone!” This was a refreshing reaction. “Oh!” ‘No man has ever reacted this way to me before.’ Whenever Poliana asked a man to drink with her, they would usually ask, “Are you buying, Marquess?” Most men were eager to get free drinks from her. Frau was the first and the only one who blushed and stepped back in shock. ‘Hmm…’ Poliana felt a little disappointed. If she returned home…

Chapter 176 Things went totally wrong for Frau. If Poliana didn’t assume that he was looking for a position, he would have carried on his original plan and try to slowly woo Poliana. Unfortunately, Poliana was very dense when it concerns a relationship between a man and a woman. She honestly had no idea what Frau’s intention was. What Frau did to get her attention and make her see him as a viable husband material… Poliana instead saw his actions a doctor did to get a job. The whole event was ruined…

Chapter 175 Clink! Poliana dropped her fork. Her eyes widened, and Frau continued to blurt out, “I was planning to propose to you because I want your money!” His voice became louder, and he practically shouted his last sentence. Everyone in the restaurant stared at them, but thankfully, he didn’t yell out the word “marquess.” It didn’t seem like anyone heard him addressing her by her title, and Poliana was glad that she changed her clothes before coming here. If she was wearing her blue…

Chapter 174 Frau quickly apologized to Poliana for making her wait. Poliana waved her hand and told him an apology was not necessary since she arrived earlier than their arranged time. Poliana asked, “Which direction is your home?” Poliana didn’t think that Frau lived near the royal castle. He probably couldn’t afford to. She wondered if she should bring out her horse when Frau gave her an unexpected answer, “I could never allow myself to bring you to such an unworthy place like my own home,…

Thankfully, Sir Ainno left without a word after staring at her for a few more minutes. "Phew…" Feeling relieved, Cekel sighed deeply. What the heck was wrong with that man? Sir Ainno, who was one of the very few unmarried men in all of the divisions, often visited the other guards' homes on short notice and demanded that they eat and drink with him. He was such a nuisance but no one could dare to refuse him because of his status. Cekel was different from Poliana. Cekel was a spinster maid unlike…

Something didn't feel right, but Poliana didn't have anything concrete to work on. All she had was a few maids grumbling and nothing else. Poliana continued to let the maids chat among themselves, trying to get as much information as possible about this situation. "Apparently, Duchess Nani is going to bring many of her own maids, so more of us here will be going on the journey to Nanaba." "We are so excited to visit our home again!" It seemed that all of Lady Tory's maids were going to Nanaba. The only…
