Chapter 10
The next morning, the baron left Baker Manor. Faced with the viscount's attempts to persuade him to stay, he merely stated indifferently that he had urgent matters in the capital and was determined to leave. The viscount's family was quite displeased, especially with Austin's complete silence on the matter of marriage, which amounted to a tacit rejection of the proposal. "What an ungrateful wretch! Had we known this, we shouldn't have taken him in when he was gravely ill!" the viscountess fumed. The…-

Chapter 9
Austin lounged lazily in the white porcelain bathtub. Soft sunlight streamed through the glass window, turning the rising steam into a golden mist. His thick, curly brown hair, soaked with water, clung in strands to his broad back as droplets trickled down the contours of his muscles. I gently poured hot water into the tub, and the petals on the surface slowly unfurled with the flow. The baron's figure loomed faintly in the hazy steam. "Enough, the water's too hot," he said displeased. "Yes, my…-

Chapter 8
In the evening, I took two books from the shelf and returned to the baron's room. The warm fireplace cast a soft glow, while three white candles on the nightstand flickered with a dim, cold light. Austin lay quietly nestled in deep blue pillows, eyes slightly closed as if in deep slumber. I approached quietly, intending to adjust his blanket. Just then, his eyes suddenly opened, locking onto my hand resting on his chest. Then he gave me a thoughtful look, his tone tinged with displeasure: "What are you…-

Chapter 7
Thinking he was bored, I suggested, "I'll fetch more books from downstairs, and you can choose as you like." "No need. I don't feel like reading now," he refused. "As you wish," I responded. Standing beside him, I could feel his gaze lingering on me, making me uneasy. "What do you... want?" he suddenly asked a strange question. "What?" I was taken aback. The baron leaned back on his pillow, eyes closed, and said, "I mean, you've cared for me this whole time and deserve a reward. Do you want…-

Chapter 6
Austin’s condition didn’t improve. After nightfall, it worsened instead. His body burned with fever, and his speech became slurred. I half-carried him, letting him lie in my arms, and brought slightly cold food to his lips. "My lord, eat something." "I don't want to. I'll vomit," he said. "Then drink some water." "I won't. Take it away." "Drink, just a little." I insisted, holding a spoon to his mouth, then placed food near his lips. "Eat something too. Even if you vomit it later, it's…-

Chapter 5
After dinner, the masters moved to the conservatory for tea. The conservatory was lavishly decorated, with pale purple wall coverings dotted with velvet yellow flowers. The seating was varied and complete, including benches, armchairs, ottomans, and small round stools. A black piano stood by the window, next to towering bookshelves. The guests settled in small groups, the ladies whispering behind fluttering feather fans while the gentlemen spoke loudly and passionately. The butler nodded at me, and I…-

Chapter 4
Winter had arrived, and heavy snow blanketed Baker Manor, turning it into a kingdom of ice and snow. The castle was bitterly cold, with only the fireplace rooms retaining warmth, while our servants' quarters were as frigid as ice cellars. No fires were allowed in the servants' bedrooms. At night, I shivered under thick quilts, often longing for the hearth in the small parlor. My room was barely a few square meters, containing only a bed and a cabinet, with no other furnishings. As for personal…-

Chapter 3
That night was exceptionally difficult for the viscount’s family. The women changed out of their colorful silk garments and into black mourning dresses, veiling their faces with black lace. They gathered by the warm fireplace, weeping in sorrow. The viscountess wailed all night, angrily cursing her daughter-in-law: "You useless woman! You didn't even leave Belon a son. I regret ever letting him marry you!" Vivian sneered coldly: "Why didn't you call me useless when you were using my dowry? You only…-

Chapter 2
My family has rented land from Baker Manor for generations. Viscount Lloyd is an extremely stingy landlord, imposing exorbitant taxes. The peasants toil on barren land, only to surrender most of their harvest to the manor. By my father’s generation, war had made life even harder. When I was twelve, my father left home for the town and never returned. My mother bore four children—I have two younger sisters and a brother. The youngest, Boal, was just one year old. As for who his father was, perhaps…-
