"He dared threatened us!" Federico Lux's voice boomed inside the family hall— a place that someone like Rosalind could not just walk into. This place was only accessible to the 'important' members of the Lux Family. And that meant everyone with white-blond hair and their wives. Someone like Rosalind, who was born with raven black hair, could not just walk inside without the permission of the family head. Not even when everyone was having a banquet. Unlike the other members of the Lux Family, Rosalind…

"Older sister—" Rosalind frowned. She thought Jeames would be here, but for some reason, the man was nowhere to be seen. "I don't understand—" "You were having tea with me before I fainted! You must have added something to my tea!" "I—" "The Young Lady agreed to see you out of the goodness of her heart! How could you!?" Lellana hissed as she pointed at Rosalind. "But I —" Rosalind's eyes widened. It looked like they had completely shifted the blame onto her. How convenient. Without the…

"That—" Victoria was speechless. "Why would she have tea with Rosalind? I thought she was not feeling well?" "Originally, the Young Lady was quite ill, but this morning the Young Miss suddenly asked to see her. The Young Lady could not see her, so the Young Miss asked for tea in the afternoon. Again, the Young Lady cannot do it, but— " "But what?" "Young Miss Rosalind said it had something to do with the Young Lady's marriage." Victoria gasped, her mouth wide open. "What — whatever do you…

"The tea from the North is quite bitter," Baroness Bethia Bohan smiled as she finished drinking her tea. "But I heard that the Duke of the North loves it, he can't quite live without it." "My husband said the same thing," Countess Helen Stacey said. "It is said that the North had been giving bitter teas to other kingdoms and empires hoping that they would like it. I suppose they wanted to make it a new trend." "A new trend?" Victoria smiled. "Bitter teas aren't as popular as the others because, well,…

"Lellana, you may leave us," Dorothy said. "But Young Lady— " "My mother doesn't know anything about this, please leave us." "I understand," Lellan bowed and left them. "Please… take a seat," Dorothy gestured towards the seat next to hers. "I especially brewed the tea for you." Dorothy quickly poured Rosalind a cup of tea, smiling as if she wasn't just about to give Rosalind something that would leave her unconscious. Rosalind didn't hesitate to accept it. The name of the drug was Lady's…

"They told me that the bastard of the Lux Family deserves a banquet," a man said with a condescending tone. He then laughed, "I disagree. I would not be at that banquet if my father didn't force me to send the presents under his name." "Whatever do you mean?" the woman responded. "You know very well what I mean. Aren't you here hiding because you want to avoid the menace? The curse of the Lux Family?" "Sir Anthony, please mind your manners. Anyone in this garden can hear you." "No one is around,"…

Primal Fangs? Until now, Rosalind couldn't believe her fortune. She wasn't aware that Lucilla was the heiress to the largest mercenary guild in the South. In her past life, the Four Quarter Masters would suddenly dominate the market right after an attack that would happen to one of the four empires. A tragedy would appear, and the Quarter Masters would slowly carve out their name into the people's hearts, gaining a lot of other businesses in the process. She couldn't help but wonder if this happened…

"They changed the date?" Rosalind narrowed her eyes when she received another invitation from Grace. "It seems that Victoria couldn't hold herself back anymore." She smiled. Not showing herself in public was the right move. Right now, they want her to expose herself to the citizens, embarrass herself and make the old man lose face. This would then prompt the old man to marry her off the Duke. While she too wanted to marry the Duke to get away from this place, she needed to be smart about her moves.…
