Eloise Moora, the daughter of a fallen noble family, is doing her best to live an honest life.
One day, she receives a strange but discreet job offer:
To read love letters aloud—for a love-clueless, romance-averse, and confirmed bachelor duke.
It seemed simple enough.
Just read a few letters.
Easy, isn’t it right?
Not true.
Before she knows it, she’s being accused of spying and nearly strangled.
Then she gets tangled up with the crown prince, the princess, and even royal affairs.
Things get worse when she catches the attention—and suspicion—of a rival crown prince from another kingdom.
“Sometimes I imagine… how happy I’d be if I could simply breathe the same air as Duke Kalen.”
“Wait a moment.”
At Kalen’s sudden words, Eloise turned to look at him.
Don’t tell me… She didn’t understand that? It’s just one sentence… No way. Surely not…
She blinked at him in disbelief.
Kalen frowned a bit.
“I don’t understand that last line.”
“Which part? I just read one sentence: How happy I’d be to breathe the same air as Duke Kalen. That’s it.”
“Exactly. Breathe the same air? What does that even mean? We always breathe. Don’t we?”
Eloise was speechless.
One letter takes an hour to read… Do I have to keep doing this?
