After the party at Moon Castle, I returned to my usual quiet life at Darian's mansion. One month has passed. The reason I was able to live peacefully was because I didn't step out of the mansion at all. I know that if I go out, there are people who are mean to me who may criticize and harm me. Therefore, I don't want to leave the mansion without the necessary events.I thought long and hard about apologizing to Darian, but I didn't get a chance to apologize to him because, since the time we had a party at Moon Castle, I hadn't seen him even once. He wants to avoid me, so he doesn't return to his mansion anymore. That made me very sad.Although hanging around in the mansion, I didn't feel bored because I was used to living alone in Dead Forest. The living environment and adverse effects of people in Dead Forest have turned me from an active person to a closed person. Sometimes moments alone are the happiest and most comfortable times.More than that, now I don't live alone. I was havin

All eyes here are focused on me, creating an invisible pressure that makes my heart feel heavy. If a person with a weak mentality were to fall into this situation, they would probably tremble and feel weak, sweaty, and nervous. Still, I remained indifferent, as if I was not the one being noticed.I coldly replied, "I didn't steal Wendy's bracelet. There may be some misunderstanding, but I'm sure I've never seen that bracelet."Wendy said, "No thief admits to being a thief. Surely my bracelet is on your body. I want to find it."Wendy said and looked at Luna Layla. Luna Layla immediately asked the servants to ransack me. The two servants at the back of the crowd hurried to my place.At this point, I was furious. I thundered, "Wait a minute!"The servant was taken aback and didn't dare to touch my body momentarily. I told Luna Layla, "Wendy has no concrete proof that I stole her bracelet. If you let people ransack me, you insult me, lowering my dignity. I do not accept that."The play i

Sharmaine's POVWhen I woke up, my head was hefty. It felt like a heavy rock was on my head. I didn't expect that sweet fruit wine could also make me so drunk that I lost consciousness. I went to the bathroom to wash my face to wake up.A few fragments of memories from last night flashed through my head. I was in shock, but then I quickly denied it was true. I'm sure it was just a dream. A nightmare that made me highly embarrassed.After washing up, I went to the kitchen to have breakfast. Maya happily greeted me. She finished preparing breakfast for me. Usually, I would wake up at five in the morning to go jogging, but I woke up late today due to being drunk yesterday.I was already filled with questions about seeing Darian last night. Although I tried to deny it, I still needed solid proof. So I asked Maya, "Hmm, did anything happen last night? After I got drunk, did you take me back to my room?"Maya is cleaning the kitchen. She stopped when I asked and replied, "No. Sir Darian and

I poured tea into two cups and gave them to Luna and Erza. I didn't dare to stare at them to avoid detecting anything unusual. I bowed my head and sat down across from them. While I wasn't paying attention, I wondered if Luna Layla had been drinking tea. She suddenly shouted and splashed tea on me.The burning sensation made me jump, immediately standing up instinctively. Fortunately, I lowered my head at that time so the tea did not splash on my face. Looking at my arm, which quickly turned red from being burned, I felt highly resentful. The anger in my heart quickly flared up, but I knew this was Moon Castle; no matter how unreasonable Luna Layla was, I couldn't stand firm against her.I tried to be patient; my hands clenched into fists. If I had long fingernails, my nails would have been forbidden to go deep into my skin by now."So hot! You want me to get burned?" Luna Layla's shrill scream rang out. Although her tone was angry, her eyes were filled with smugness and provocation.

"Okay! I agree!" I say.Amanda cheered excitedly. She was happy and took the initiative to get me a cake.When Amanda left, I wanted to find a topic to talk to Amelinda about, so I asked her my question, "Why does Amanda have to join the charity? Isn't she still in school? She is also active in Darian's army. Isn't it tiring for her to do so many things at her current age?"Amelinda explains, "Amanda's age isn't small anymore, but she's so innocent and pure. I am afraid that she will be deceived in the future without me by her side. So she needs much training to become stronger. I want her to train in the military to have the strength to defend herself. I want her to follow the charity to poor areas to see people's hardships; let her learn to love and tolerate; she won't lose her honest nature. I want her to grow up soon so she can handle everything without my help. What Amanda has to deal with now is overwhelming, but today's lessons will be a solid foundation to help her stand later
