    Chapter 2 Cover
    by Willow Moss 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…

    by Willow Moss 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…

    by Willow Moss 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…

    by Willow Moss Kahn’s wedding was held in a small chapel. Though the ceremony was simple, it was filled with festive joy. In the countryside, commoners had few entertainment options, with farm work occupying most of their time. A wedding was a rare grand celebration, especially with the baron in attendance. People organized various games to liven up the festivities—wheelbarrow races, blind man's bluff, and more took turns. These activities were usually led by young men, with occasional participation from the…

    Chapter 4 Cover
    by Willow Moss 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…

    by Willow Moss The dining room at Miles Manor resembles those of all aristocratic households, featuring a long table capable of seating dozens. The table is draped with a white tablecloth embroidered with chrysanthemum patterns, adorned in the center with freshly picked white roses, their excess leaves trimmed, arranged in blue-and-white porcelain vases edged with gold. Yet, seated before this elegant and beautiful table were two silent figures, dining quietly with almost no conversation. I thought to myself, they must…

    by Willow Moss 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…

    by Willow Moss The baron’s tone was icy and distant. As soon as he finished speaking, Lady Lloyd burst into tears. "How could you treat me like this... You can't treat me like this..." "Why must you be so upset? Have I done something wrong?" the baron responded coolly. "I am your mother, yet you call me a guest, and you ask me why I'm upset!" Lady Lloyd's hysteria did not move the baron. He replied slowly and calmly, "This manor, everything here, belongs to me. If you are not a guest, then are you the master…

    by Willow Moss 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…

    by Willow Moss "This... this is..." I scrambled to my feet, knowing full well I couldn't hide the evidence. I had taken those books without permission, without asking the Baron first. To my surprise, the Baron didn’t scold me. He took the "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" and exclaimed, "Wow... you can understand this? I never expected..." "No, no," I quickly waved my hands in denial. "I can't understand it... I was just skimming." The Baron sat on the sofa and smiled. "I never thought you'd be…
