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 16
The baron’s four-horse carriage was luxurious, but I had to stand on the rear step, shielding the luggage with my arms against the cold wind. Only now did I realize Austin had taken me away again. This happened years later in my past life, but now… My rationality told me not to get close to the baron, yet my actions unconsciously did the opposite—drawing nearer, even advancing further. Of course, unlike my past life, no one knew the baron had "special" feelings for me. The Lloyd family remained…-

Chapter 27
"But thy eternal summer shall not fade, nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st; nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, when in eternal lines to time thou grow'st." The baron was explaining poetry to me, his voice deep and charming. Flipping the page, he said, "This is a classic iambic pentameter sonnet, mainly divided into Petrarchan and Shakespearean styles, with a variant called Spenserian. Their key difference lies in the rhyme scheme. Do you understand?" "Can I interpret it as a…-

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 17
In the early morning, the baron's bell rang as usual. I hurriedly left the dining table, carrying a pot of warm black tea, and briskly walked to the second-floor bedroom. The baron was accustomed to enjoying his first cup of tea in bed before getting dressed. This seemingly ordinary routine held a subtle awkwardness. I had once consulted Kahn and learned that, aside from his coat, the baron never required assistance with dressing. Yet now, he calmly shed his sleepwear and stood before me without any…-

Chapter 28
The baron clenched his fists, his voice low and clear: "Say it again. Tell me the reason." After a moment’s hesitation, I still replied, "I'm sorry." "Ha. So you'd rather face the constables," he sneered. My heart suddenly sank. If I were handed over to the sheriff on charges of plotting against a noble, death would surely await me. I looked up at the baron, his face filled with rage, lips tightly pressed, clearly infuriated by me. Perhaps he was regretting ever trusting someone as vile and…-

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 18
The baron paced back and forth in the room, hands clasped behind his back, his expression restless. He spoke: "Ever since you risked yourself to care for me, I haven't been able to forget you. Of course, I noticed your attitude toward Berry, but that can only be blamed on your background and upbringing. You come from humble origins and are accustomed to flattery—that's not your fault. I can forgive your lapses, as long as you mind your words and actions from now on." He continued: "I'm not ashamed to…-

Chapter 29
The sweltering heat was unbearable, and the morning wind carried the fermented scent of soil, making one drowsy. Even in such weather, the baron rose early as usual to ride. Seeing his figure, I breathed a slight sigh of relief. The viscount’s family showed no intention of leaving, holed up in the castle all day, fearing the harsh sun would damage their prized pale skin. Nobles prized extreme fairness, so ladies always carried parasols outdoors, while men wore wide-brimmed hats, taking sun protection…-

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…-
