I. The Timmerhaus

“You are worthless.” When I was nine, my mother said words that affected my whole life. It was the first time I have heard of those words, but I’m sure they aren’t nice. After learning what those words meant, I worked hard to find my worth. In this world, humans are divided into three classes: the nobility, the clergy, and the peasants. My family belongs to the noble lineage of Timmerhaus, an honorable clan made by outstanding instructors and philosophers. Count Seloriett Moroan Timmerhaus. The esteemed head of the house, who excels in hunting and agriculture. He unified the ideas of Eastern Lorelei and the Empire of Marluke to create an excellent farming culture. Countess Corsant Liracyntia Maharlika- Timmerhaus. The top instructor of a renowned academy

II. Homecoming Surprises

After having a talk with the physician and settling the early fees with the accountant, I was finally going home. It’s almost midnight, surely the guests have returned to their respective estates. However, to be sure, I’ll just enter using the back door. “Miss Cassey, your things have been unloaded. I will now bring them inside.” “Thank you Fred. Please use the back door just as I have said.” He bowed and started moving. I fixed my hair and bit my lips to gather some blood and hide my paleness. I must look presentable, at least to Ashanti. She must have been very happy to be proclaimed as the esteemed daughter. Thinking about it makes me smile. I should greet her later. “Lady Cassey...” I stared at the woman in front of me. Her silver wavy hair shines in

III. What's in a Ball

“A marriage proposal has arrived, Cassey.” “A marriage proposal? Who? And to whom?” Mother ignored my questions and proceed to father's room. "Morga, please assist them," I commanded Morga, my mother's lady-in-waiting. "And Morga, prepare tea for us afterwards. It's been so long since we had tea together." "As you wished, milady." The living room in the master’s bedroom is spacious, with enormous paintings of red roses that my mother loved so dearly. In the middle of all these roses is the biggest painting in the estate – a family portrait. Mother and the Count looked so young back then, since it was painted on their wedding day. A

IV. Red Streaks

Cassey has been staring into the dark for a long time. Her neck’s been stiff, and the soles of her feet are numbed. She took off her heels and ran down the stairs all the way to the garden. The garden has everything: a bench, a table with two chairs, a statue of a mythic eromance goddess, a dancing fountain, and a wide sky full of stars to gaze. “Everything in this garden is made for lust,” she uttered as she examined the statue in front of her. Germela was described as the romantic goddess who fell for a man. But the man she loves had someone else in his heart, and they are soon be blessed with an offspring. Germela offered all the wealth and power she had if the man chooses her. But at the end of the story, the man chose to marry the woman she loves and rejected the goddess forever. The goddess, who was touched by their love, dedicated a whole garden for them as a wedding gift and left. “Do you believe in Germela?” the low voice startled her. He was wearing a

V. Marriage and Freedom

At tea parties, noblewomen use their words as weapon. When men plan their schemes, they use the top secrets to either slander or blackmail their targets. In any situations, the bullet to their guns is information. Where could you get that fresh meat? At information guilds. Among the information guilds, the pub that sells cupcakes at night is the best guild, with infinite connections within and outside of the empire. The leader of that guild is the high society playboy, Markus Febrez.“So what made you visit my dwellings in this time?”“You have houses at the capital. This aren’t one of them.”I examined his visage. Sultry lips, deep eyes, and his nose stands proudly on his pinkish skin.“Would you like to marry me, Markus?”Markus was red. Ugh, I knew it was stupid. “Sorry that was a strange thing to ask.”“W-What has gotten into you? That was sudden.”&ldq

VI. Fiesta

VI. FiestaThe capital was crowded than ever. Nobles are visiting one store to another, buying expensive souvenirs and jewelries to boast when the time comes. Commoners took this opportunity as a chance to sell their handmade products. Their children are out of sight, busy running errands for the higher ranks. Women, noble or not, are on their best dresses and behaviors. On their preferred seats, they await for their ‘prince charming on a white horse’ to take their hand. With all the grand decorations and the presence of the royalties, this is not bad for the day of fiesta.Cassey Timmerhaus rode on her horse, a swift and elegant black mare. Cassey is wearing an equestrian uniform in light pink color. Her mother chose that color for her. Her silky black hair was tied on a clean bun, exposing her sharp jaws. Noblewomen who prejudiced her for having black hair and eyes were infatuated to her sword- cut features, and often compare her side profile with their l

VII. The End of Spring

Today, I woke up in tears. Mother and I had a quarrel early in the morning that rooted from a mistake I made in the finances. In the end, she finished the work and I fled to my uncle’s house.“It was your fault, Sica,” Grandmother said while knitting the yarn. I pouted. Although I don’t expect her to take my side, I somehow wished she would see things in my perspective.“You shouldn’t have answered her like that, Sica. After all, she’s your mother. If you want to badmouth someone, then why don’t you hit that Count? He’s useless, so...”“Does my maternal grandmother really think things are as simple as hitting someone, like how Maharlikas do to their child? If I really did that, I must have been sentenced to death now. Knowing mother, she would surely take his husband’s side.”Nothing has really changed. Maternal grandmother still hates the Count. She was so opposed with the marr

VIII. Wedding on Summer

The loud crows of a rooster awoken me. In just a month, my mother is getting married to the Duke of Morelli. I immediately went to the bathroom to take a bath. Upon arriving at the bath, I was surprised at the number of red petals on the tub. I may not be able to smell it but I felt the liquid streaming down my cheeks. There’s only one person in the house who could do such detailed work.“Lola… it was you,” I said with much certainty.My grandmother peeked from the shower curtain. It’s nice to see her being energetic and beaming.“I don’t regret making such an arrangement. I will certainly make you the most beautiful, even more beautiful than your mother.”Maternal grandmother washed my hair fondly. However, I am not delighted even in the slightest. Even if I wear the brightest jewels of the empire, it may not be able to hide my dull appearance.“It’s a shame, Lola.”“T

IX. Red Wedding

Cassey’s head was squeezed by a nutcracker. It wasn’t exaggeration; it definitely feels like being squeezed. “Lady Cassey, are you alright?” Lady Lieughan asked in a worried tone. Cassey shrugged and sat down when her mother finally reaches the elevated stage. “This thing should end sooner.” Cassey’s face throughout the ceremony was crumpled and distorted. Her mother would crease her brows every time she catches the sight of her daughter’s displeasing facial expression. Lady Lieughan held Cassey’s trembling hands and occasionally fans her when other’s are busy applauding for the new couple. “And on this moment, with the presence of the dignified ladies and gentlemen, I shall pronounce you, husband and wife.” The crowd gave them a round of applause. The new duchess, Liracynthia, bowed happ

X. Inside the Room

The smell of roses reached Cassey’s stuffy nose.“I heard you had a nosebleed.”Her mother’s words broke the silence. The proud Ashanti was sitting beside her mother, intentionally displaying her close relations with her. Cassey stared at them, as they sat comfortably on the soft cushions. She tapped the table to create melody and rocked her wooden chair.“The doctor said it was out of fatigue.”Cassey’s answer infuriated her mother. The tapping never ceased.“So what do you imply? Everybody knows I never left a job for you. You should be living well now!”Liracynthia raised her voice. Ashanti hurt her ears from the loud sound. She shoot glares at Cassey, thinking that her mother’s rage was caused by her sister’s stupidity.“Sister, you should have told me that you were exhausted. I could take some of your work.”Ashanti’s concerns were a mask t
