He is mature, silent and an adult.
Samuel is her first crush. Isn't it great that they both like each other?
As she grows up and faces independence, learns of things she never knew, will the bad little girl Cana remain? Or does Samuel's love and care make her the good girl she has always wanted to look up to?
A warm cup of coffee in the summer and a slice of romance, a story of growing up, family, friendship, betrayal, bullying, coming out and the first struggles of teenagers.

Chapter: Sip 18“Ten more minutes…” Her hand is trembling for every second that passes. “J-just a little bit more…” Sweat drops from her temples and a clear line as she crosses her brows. The atmosphere is so thick and there’s a clear tension. “Cana…” “Last five minutes…” the intense gaze makes her nervous. “W-wait!” In a blink of an eye she jumped out from her seat and raised her arms in the air. “I’m done!” “Finally Chelsea! I thought you'd be caught by the professor!” Meng exaggerates her tone teasing her friend. “Oh! Now give me my notes!” Cana on the other hand grabs her notebook and immediately puts it back on her bag.

Chapter: Sip 16The kiss is short, their foreheads touching, both can feel the rising temperature and the flushed cheeks. “How do you learn that trick?” Samuel laughed at Cana, he never knew she would initiate first just to calm him down, still he is satisfied at how cute she is. “Just listen to me first…” Embarrassed, she buried her face to his chest and hugged him tight, Samuel smiled and from his bad mood he feels more blissful that Cana is relying more on him. It takes time, but as she foretells the whole story , he listens well, sometimes patting her head or kissing her cheek to console, with a hand holding hers, Cana was able to breathe out her worries and lift the heavy feelings that had accumulated in her chest. “If that was the case, do you want me to fetch you at school?” “Oh no, that would be a burden, I know that you are busy with your work and I don’t want to burden you.” The distance from Samuel’s workplace and her university is quite far and it’ll take an hour by car.

This place has a rose garden maze. It would be nice to watch the moon.” Guiding her out, as expected Samuel chooses such a romantic place and never fails to lift up her mood, as like what she has imagined the blooming roses on the walls are pretty and fragrant. “Wow! How can there be such a big maze here!?” While she is admiring the place Samuel has given a signal to one of the staff that was on standby. Looking at Cana, she has grown, her shoulder length hair when they first met i

At this moment the three lords of each kind were about to fight head on, with Barrett’s statement of the current situation it seems that the Silversnow castle is filled mostly with controlled servants. That the possibility of casualties will be lesser as they can only capture them and make them lose consciousness. Unlike what is happening in town which was a tremendous fight of flesh, strength and mind, this one is a battle that will result in the safety of the rest who are living in this war.

The Enigmatic Demon Duke's Desire
The next day I woke up, I am now the fiance of the Duke of Dubois Castle, or known as Lemon.
“I am a demon who lives by desire and greed, you have yielded with the contract that you have exchanged with your life?”
“Then what do you want?”
“I want the whole of you Veta Le Blanchet, not just your blood, heart and soul, it is the whole of you.”
Theroux Claude, the third prince of the kingdom.
“Lady Le Blanchet, just how can you stand still this demon duke? If you ever get tired of him, you are always welcome to my palace.”
Another troublesome man, my childhood friend when I was at the academy, Durand Gagnon.
“I have attained this nickname not just because I follow all his Majesty’s order, but because I want to have a stronghold in the knight position so that I can support you my Lady, remember that my oath is only for you.”
Then, what is my cousin thinking that he would say such things?
“Sister, I have finally inherited the title of the Baron, please come back to our fief, and I will make sure to bring back the glory of our family!”
As I try to relinquish the past, the more troublesome it becomes. Is clinging to the tiny bit of my life a wrong choice? And why is the temple spying on me?
“Lady Le Blanchet is the only descendant of the family, you shouldn’t involve yourself farther with the Demon Duke.”
“It’s done my Lady, as long as it is you, I can give everything, even if I destroy this Kingdom.”
Hold on, just what on earth this demon wants from me?

They have killed my niece!” Baroness Rhodes pleaded in the trial room, even Baron Blaeseus Rhodes was present and couldn’t believe that the only heiress of the Count Le Blanchet was fed by the demons. “ The Le Blanchet is still one of the aristocratic families, how could it be that they were given just mere imprisonment?

I shot her to be the bait! Let us go now!” Gautbert shouted from his lungs with his eyes wide open and bloodshot, his knees trembling and in so much panic. “ What? You get in trouble just to bring the lady out of the mansion and now we are leaving her?” The young man was confused, of course, as they were initially hired to escort the merchant as soon as they got the lady out of the mansion.

Go run the carriage while they do not notice us!” Gautbert hits t
