TN: Thank you for constantly commenting! Huge motivation factor for me. Enjoy!
“Milady came to this unfamiliar northern region alone, not knowing anybody, yet she never complained about her situation being difficult or uncomfortable. If Your Grace were ignore Milady, then she would truly be alone.”
Hugo actually began to suspect where Jerome came out from today to have such a completely different temperament but when he thought about it, there was no denying that Jerome was Fabian’s blood brother.
To speak without any fear was Fabian’s trademark.
Hugo’s red eyes glowed even redder.
“These days, Milady…”
“Shut up.”
“Your Grace.”
“I dare you to say one more word…”
Feeling the murderous gaze on him, Jerome shut his mouth and lowered his gaze.
The Duke was not a nitpicky master that but he was a master that would never tolerate challenges to his authority. The criteria depended on if someone was getting above themselves. Jerome didn’t have the authority to butt into the ducal couple’s private relationship.
It wasn’t because Jerome was a steward. No one in Roam had such authority. Hugo was extremely displeased with this situation.
He wondered if she had sent Jerome to him because she had enough reason to do so. But this was Jerome.
The same Jerome that didn’t interfere with his usual work for no reason and could distinguish between the things that Hugo could handle alone and the things that Jerome could deal with himself.
Therefore, Jerome’s unusual behavior got on Hugo’s nerves.
Hugo already knew that Jerome took care of his wife more than the usual. He did not doubt Jerome’s loyalty as a steward but he was strangely irritated.
“Impressive. Did she ask you to come annoy me?”
Even though he knew that there was no way she had, he felt extremely twisted inside.
“No, Your Grace! Milady would never—!”
Crash!
As soon as Jerome opened his mouth, a teacup flew past his face and shattered to pieces on the floor.
“I told you to shut up.”
Hugo swiftly got up and walked out of the office while Jerome sat down with a paling face.
He made a mistake. A terrible result of needless interference. If Fabian were here, he would have definitely told him that their master’s relationship wasn’t one to be meddle with.
‘I’ve let down Milady’s reputation.’
His first rebellion against his master ended with his tail completely trampled. He unnecessarily intervened and even caused a misunderstanding.
Jerome sighed and began to sweep the pieces of the broken tea cup scattered all over the place.
The fact that the cup did not fly at his forehead meant that his master was already being pretty tolerant.
‘I’ll ask Fabian for some advice when he comes back.’
Useless mouth! Jerome began to sharply berate himself.

Using the excuse that she wasn’t feeling well, Lucia returned home early from her outing with Kate.
She didn’t feel like talking or going horseback riding. Right after she returned from seeing Kate, the doctor came to visit with scary accuracy.
“Milady.”
Anna looked at loss for what to do and she couldn’t meet Lucia’s eyes, seemingly nervous.
That day, Hugo left after saying that Lucia could do as she pleased, but from the next day onwards, he continuously sent for Anna.
“Milady, His Grace the Duke calls me every evening and asks me how the treatment is going.”
Anna explained with an expression that said ‘please save me’. When the Duke called Anna, he didn’t say anything else. He only asked how the treatment was going but that alone gave Anna enormous pressure.
“Please, just tell me about the symptoms that you really know.” (Anna)
Because of what he was doing, the anger in Lucia’s heart steadily increased in just a few days. She felt like she was deceived by him and couldn’t break free. She felt like going to his office right this moment and giving him a slap.
‘Alright. I’ll do what you want me to do.’
Lucia opened her mouth and began to explain her symptoms. She explained it exactly how she explained it to the doctors she searched for in her dream.
Yes, she already knew a cure for it but she had no intention of using it. However, if Anna found another cure, she didn’t plan on refusing treatment.
But the chances of that happening were close to none. She’d met countless doctors in her dream, but none of them could cure her.
It was through an amazing coincidence and luck that she was able to get a cure from that wandering doctor.
She didn’t think that such coincidence and luck could happen a second time.
And as expected, Anna looked confused after hearing her explanation. She looked bewildered by the fact that Lucia took mugwort herb and cause her menstruation to stop. She didn’t seem to know anything about it.
“I’m sorry, Milady. To be frank, my ability is lacking so I do not know how to treat you. But I will definitely figure out a way.”
Anna resolutely assured her. Lucia sat there absent-mindedly for a short while then she went out into the garden.
* * *
Hugo left his office extremely displeased and absentmindedly walked till he was outside.
The rain had stopped but there was no sight of the sun.
‘I guess the day is ending like this.’
When he realized it, he was already in the garden. He quickly turned around and tried to leave but before he could do that, he discovered her.
She was leaning forward, looking at an almost blossoming flower bud. He stood still for a while, then his feet began to move towards her.
Wheen Lucia straightened her waist and turned, she saw him approaching her and instantly, the air around her changed and she found herself falling into a fantasy.
Everything around her blurred and all she could see was him. Lucia knew that she had experienced something like this before.
‘When I was in the capital…on the day of the knight parade…’
It was the day when she saw him for the first time in reality, not in her dreams.
She was angry with him. Her condition was terrible because every night, she stared at the bedroom door that never opened and couldn’t sleep properly at night.
And just a while ago, she wanted to slap him if she ever saw him. But the moment she saw him, all the anger in her heart instantly melted away like salt inside water.
‘I am such an idiot…’
She knew he was unattainable and thought that she had locked down her feelings, but her emotions seemed to slip through the crevices.
While her heart bubbled over, it also hurt.
‘I love him.’
She didn’t know what to do. Just like his countless past lovers, she couldn’t keep her heart to herself.
‘He must not find out.’
If he took one step closer to her, she would take two steps backwards. She didn’t want to be sent a rose.

Yeesss…that’s is good strategy until Hugo payed for what he had done to you, Lucia 😈😈😈😈 So until something drastic happened to you… When he approached you 5 step you go backwards 15 or 20 steps, named of strategy is extreme push and pull..
Thanks for the chapter
😏yes yes i agree!
And what exactly did he do to her? Because if we were looking at it from an outsider’s perspective, not knowing anything, he was going above and beyond what their contract even stipulated. The conditions that are binding her are the conditions she herself proposed. I’m not even speaking about the fact that his emotions changed. That was fortunate for her considering the fact that this was what she proposed. Now, y’all are making him out to be some devil that needs to go through fire and brimstone to deserve her when this was what SHE wanted. She used him to escape from the life she would have had. Y’all seem to be forgetting that. They both had a use for each other, but she needed it more than he did. She was the one desperate to propose all of this and now she is the one that is acting as though she is the most victimised one. If it were from anyone else’s perspective, it would be unreasonable. I’m not saying that she shouldn’t be hurt. She is definitely allowed to feel how she feels, but he doesn’t deserve the hate for how he moves either. The fact that he reciprocated her feelings is a miracle for her all things considering. When it comes to emotions, he is a complete newbie with no real experience. Y’all keep saying that he should tell her his deepest, darkest secrets but has she told him hers? Have you all told your significant others every dark secret you had, especially within a few months of meeting them? Because he’s only known her for a few months. I honestly empathise with her because feeling like that really hurts, but he shouldn’t catch flack for it either.
Thank for the chapter
Thank you so much for the update, Ms. Ruby! Omg I couldn’t wait for more. Is he going to apologize? I hope Lucia stays on her ground! Go girl!
…and here I am about t
My carelessness, oh dear. As I was saying:
….and here I am about to hide my knife and onions when this chapter took me by surprise. I guess I need to cut more.
Thanks for the chapter!
Hehe, it’s awesome over at Patreon guys. We’re 2 chapter parts ahead. (30.1 starts with the title Damian <3).
I like how this conflict reveals their true emotions to themselves. It goes to the heart of their problem while at the same time they’re missing each other so badly.
Hahaha, if they could just communicate properly they wouldn’t have these issues, but then again we wouldn’t have our angst and fun.
(╯‵□′)╯︵┴─┴
The agony of drama, cliffhanger, angst! Urghhhh. When will they be honest to each other?
Thanks for the chapter!
I’m seriously trying to hold back reading…. failed big time…. … Oh Well 😏
He avoided her, now it’s her turn! Whether he get digected or if he try’s to capture her (more than likely this one but the what Hugo is acting 😔)
Looks to me like Hugo is gonna get super jealous of Damien cause Lucia is gonna/ gotta pore all her love some where and Damien is more than likely gonna be the lucky one, especially since she doesn’t want a 🥀 (wonder how close Damien will walk to death since Hugo’s gonna be jelly 😅)
I will admit the fight is 100% nessicery they both need to realize at some point, but for Lucia it’s pure torcher and the ball is in Hugo’s court since Lucia can’t act.
Wait…. he’s…… acting like a kid? She doesn’t want treatment, but he wants her to get treated … so … he’s ignoring her…. …. … maybe….
Hahaha too good to hold back on😁
“I’m sorry, your Grace. To be frank, my abili so I do not know how to treat you. But I will definitely figure out a way.”
it would seem part of the sentence got chopped off while editing
it should be something like: “To be frank, my ability is lacking so i do not know…”
thanks for the chapter!
Thank you!!!! so much. It is indeed my ability is lacking.
Thank you :*** for the translation.
***?
My kokoro….. Is in need of a band aid…
He’s prolly subconsciously being pulled to her spot and doesnt have a clear thing to say yet yet… The agony of misunserstandings is real bruh…
Thank you for the new chap!❤
Lucia no~~ he loves you too~~
…. All the while, doctor Phillip is wondering around the gates of the house looking for a method to get to Lucia… If Phillip and Lucia met… I wonder how Lucia would react???
Many thanks
ughhh whyyy why is there a cliffhangerrrrrrrr why do cliffhangers even existttt!!!\
even tho im a bit upset, still thanks for the chapterrr >3
I’m guessing the doctor Anna is going to report everything she’s heard to him then? Well, it’s not like he can do anything with that information lol. He really needs to sort out his priorities though. Keep the secret and ruin his semi-budding relationship, or tell her and actually communicate…. I think I know which one’s a better choice xD
thanks for 3 part…
i love read you, lucia..
and also miss ruby for translating..
Awww what a sweet chapter… Theyre so in love…. Wish i could be like that with somebody too…..without the misunderstandings part but… Thats spice in the relationship ryt ? Ahhaahah
Thank you miss ruby ❤
I’m saddest for Jerome.He knows more than anyone what needs to be done and why but is not able to say or do anything without betraying either party.
Thank you for this chapter
Oh! I just realized u uploaded this on my birthday
You deserve those words, you dumb Duke. Jerome is so right. Thank God we have Jerome. What can we do without him :'((((
There’s so many emotions I felt in this chapter ;w; <3
I am so upset with BOTH of them yes both, i really want to drag them and log them in one room to TALK it UPSET me this misunderstanding seems to keep coming in circle. Like Hugh / Hugo honey i know how it felt to hate your own blood line and lock your heart, but clearly if you open up your heart clearly Lucia is a good and right person to open to, life can be shitty but that doesn’t mean there nothing good we can take from it. Lucia honey please you need to keep second option open, please don’t try to understand him only in one route, but try keep open minded of other perspective and reason. Idk if i have that kind of shitty life but i emphasize with Hugo very much and i know how confusing and chaotic his mind and body is after having through that kind of shit and how you just hate the blood that flow through you. And if he doesn’t have such responsibility i thought he might as well kill himself, living without truly living, i understand that very well and i emphasize with it so much. Feel like i found a friend who go through what i go through. I don’t see anybody see through his perspective so i just want to toss that out.
I literally am impartial.
Just as Lucia has her secrets, so does Hugh. Both hide their true feelings, both close off each other.
A relationship is not made up of a single person. If one takes a step, I believe the other should also.
This chapter corresponds to chapter 68 of the manga.
Thanks for the hard work.

hugo never ask for never love you and freedom for his private life, it is lucia who twice ask this, then because hugo does not like being test he just agree. both of them are stupid in love, but seeing hugo dark secret it is under stable why he protect his heart not want to fall in love because it is so hurtful. later on he always ask what does he do wrong whenever something happen, he knew he was playboy hahahaha
