Translated by: ShinigamiTori


A New Marriage Partner

Lucrezia grumbled in her room that night.

“….. I wonder how I can get her to listen to me.”

Lucrezia wasn’t pointing out the errors in her etiquette because she hated her sister.

She was just worried that Rosa would be embarrassed if she didn’t know the royal court’s etiquette, skipped her lessons, and used opera and romance novels as models for her behavior.

‘If you’re going to read, at least read a novel where the author is an aristocrat …… No. I’m sure she won’t like it because it’s too “educational”.’

It wasn’t uncommon for a novel to be not popular because its author was a noblewoman, or it was too religious. Romance novels that got people’s attention had to portray the common people while featuring aristocratic characters.

Rosa’s favorite novel was also a popular one.

It was still fine if she just read it and didn’t take it to heart.

But the marshal was the supreme commander in charge of the country’s armed forces.

As the face of the country, the marshal’s wife was required to have a dual nature, sometimes to welcome enemy troops with hospitality and sometimes to fight to protect her country’s honor.

If the marshal and his wife are pretentious, they will invite unnecessary trouble and put the whole country in great danger.

And Falco is completely pretentious.

The current marshal and his wife have decided that Falco is not reliable enough to succeed them, which is why Lucrezia was chosen to take over.

While she never learns too much in order to prepare for her future with Falco, Rosa doesn’t even know her own court etiquette, let alone a foreign one.

It’s dangerous to let Falco and Rosa stand before foreign dignitaries at this point in their lives.

‘No, I don’t know if they would do well in their own court, let alone in a foreign country…….’

She’d like to somehow persuade them before they make a fatal mistake, but it will be no small feat to get Rosa to listen to her.

It may be too late to say anything now, but considering that this could turn into a matter of interstate war, Lucrezia couldn’t give up now.

***

Falco was hurriedly going to his ex-fiancee’s parents’ house.

Now that he had the Duke of Serravalle’s approval, there was nothing to prevent him from dating Rosa. He planned to live a leisurely flirtatious life until Falco’s parents returned home from their business.

“My friend, Philippa, and the others are coming to visit me this weekend, would you like to come too, Falco-sama? I want to inform them about Falco-sama!”

“Okay, I want to meet them too.”

“Yes! Falco-sama is so cool, everyone seems to admire you.”

“I’m only interested in you.”

At a private tea party within her inner circle, Rosa made fun of her sister.

“….Then, my sister says, ‘I’m the one who was educated with the idea of becoming a marshal’s wife!’. It’s so funny.”

“Wow, that hurt.”

“You didn’t tell that to other people?”

“Who do you think you are?”

“And then, because she was frustrated that she lost to me, she made some nasty remarks about me! She’s such a detestable woman! Don’t you think so, Falco-sama?”

“Hmm? Oh…..”

Falco tried to remember Lucrezia, but she was so unremarkable that there was nothing much to talk about.

“She was a woman I didn’t really understand. Even when I told her I was breaking off the engagement, all she said was ‘yes’.”

“I really don’t know what she’s thinking, she’s so weird.”

The place was filled with excitement.

Falco’s slip-up caused more excitement than expected, and the tea party that day was full of slandering Lucrezia until the very end.

After having a lot of fun, Falco suddenly felt uneasy.

‘I had not yet obtained permission from father and mother, so it would be better not to spread rumors, but I wondered if I had slipped up too much.’

He was a little worried, but the gathering was very private to begin with.

‘Well, it’s only Rosa’s friends, so it’s okay.’

Falco doesn’t yet know that it’s not okay at all and will become a big problem later on.

***

After lunch, Lucrezia dispersed the crowd in order to teach Rosa table manners in a separate room. This way, even if she shouted a little louder, she didn’t have to worry about people hearing her.

“You remove the chicken bones so nicely. You must be very skillful with your hands.”

To make them feel comfortable listening, praise them first. After lifting her up with praise, Lucrezia cut to the part that had been bothering her.

“But you see, perhaps you already know this, but you are not allowed to touch your hair or your own skin while eating. In the olden days, you used your hands to take your food directly from the platter. Nowadays, we have knives and spoons, but…… following the old customs is a way to show that you are a real aristocrat, different from the new aristocrats.”

As soon as the preaching began, Rosa blatantly expressed her displeasure.

“Oh my God, just shut up! I don’t care if it’s a tea party, but you don’t have to say it at home when we’re eating!”

“You have to be able to do it naturally even when you’re not paying attention. As the wife of a marshal, you will now have to be familiar with the manners of all countries, not just your own.”

Lucrezia tried her best to persuade her, hoping that she would understand her concern for Rosa, but Rosa remained silent as if she wanted Lucrezia to finish quickly.

‘I don’t know what to do.’

While she was at a loss, the door suddenly opened and her father, Duke Antonio Serravalle, appeared.

“Father! Sister is bullying me!”

Rosa rushed over and clung to Duke Serravalle. Lucrezia was dismayed at being called a bully. Sure enough, she was still not getting the message.

“Leave her alone. The girl must be very disappointed that Falco rejected her.”

After taunting Lucrezia with unjustified slander, the Duke of Serravalle smiled unpleasantly.

“Be grateful, Lucrezia. I have decided where to marry you.”

The Duke’s face was full of malice.

“Heh… I’m surprised there were people who wanted to get a scarred woman like sister.”

“Oh, he’s a man of taste, and of the worst sort.”

The Duke of Serravalle opened the newspaper with a cheerful look on his face.

The headline says, “Ugly Duke’s Engagement Cancellation?” and the illustration of the article depicted a strange-looking human being. The illustration depicted a strange figure with an oddly long neck, donkey-like ears, and a mouth as pointed as a bird’s beak. One of his legs grew backwards, and he held a bow and arrow awkwardly with strangely long fingers.

“Ramilio Pastore, the “Ugly Duke”! I’m sure you’ve heard of him at least once, haven’t you?”

Rosa gushed. It must have felt good to get back at her sister’s noisy educational guidance.

She laughed with exaggerated glee.

“The “Ugly Duke” is the one who has already had six engagements broken off because he is so ugly! Ahahaha, he’s a good match for you, sister!”

“Not only that, but according to the newspapers, there have been a number of eerie atrocities in his territory! There are even rumors that it might be the work of the Ugly Duke!”

Duke Serravalle slapped the newspaper against Lucrezia’s cheek.

Lucrezia reflexively received the newspaper and opened it with her own hands.

The article describes the appearance of the Duke in a ten-line poem.

‘A man with eyes like insects, a forked tongue like a snake, teeth like an irregular saw, and his body hair like a fox’s.’

Lucrezia immediately thought, “Hmm?”

‘The illustration and the text are different.’

The beak wouldn’t have teeth, and neither would the tongue.

‘It seems to be greatly exaggerated. I wonder how much of it is true.’

The local news often contains perfunctory and false stories. It seems safe to assume that the article on the Ugly Duke is also a piece of questionable information.

  6. Was sind die wichtigsten Erfolgsfaktoren bei einem Deca/Dianabol Stapel

    However, such health-compromised individuals ought to consult a physician, be told about the unwanted facet effects, and perceive any potential legal ramifications before purchasing trenbolone.
    Due To This Fact, individuals with hypertension, high LDL (low-density lipoprotein)
    ldl cholesterol, and hypogonadism should refrain from utilizing tren, as it might possibly exacerbate each of those circumstances.
    For such people, trenbolone should be thought of unsafe as a outcome of elevated risk of arteriosclerosis and myocardial infarction.
    But there’s no proof that creatine helps you do higher
    at sports that make you breathe at the next fee and raise your coronary heart
    fee, referred to as cardio sports activities. A Quantity Of experimental research targeted on the mechanisms concerned in neuropsychiatric effects of AASs.
    The pathways and the molecular processes are nonetheless unclear
    and must be clarified [121,122,123,124]. In this regard,
    further studies are needed to assess the epidemiology of delinquent
    conduct related to AAS assumption and the relationship with
    different drug consumption. Corticosteroids are common steroid medications that scale back inflammation and dampen the
    exercise of your immune system. They’re lab-made to work like cortisol, a hormone made by your adrenal glands.

    Evans and colleagues (1998) carried out an ultrastructural evaluation on ruptured tendons from
    anabolic steroid customers. They concluded that anabolic steroids did not induce any
    ultrastructural collagen adjustments that would enhance the chance of tendon ruptures.
    Although the incidences of tendon rupture in anabolic steroid customers
    should not be discounted, you will need to contemplate it in relation to
    the mechanical stress encountered from the
    speedy increases in muscular performance.

    Potential analysis on anabolic steroid use and connective tissue damage is warranted.

    For this cause hepatotoxicity cannot be dominated out utterly nevertheless it seems to be highly unlikely.

    The Methenolone hormone Was sind die wichtigsten Erfolgsfaktoren bei einem Deca/Dianabol Stapel first launched in 1962 by Squibb in both
    the oral Acetate and injectable Enanthate type.
    The hormonal compounds both carried the Nibal name, Nibal and
    Nibal Depot, however have been very brief lived merchandise.

    In the mid-1960’s the giant German pharmaceutical firm Schering
    would get hold of the rights to the Methenolone hormone
    introducing it beneath the Primobolan name. Since that time, Primobolan has been well-known for being a European anabolic steroid.

    The alteration of hepatic metabolism was noted to cause strain on the liver,
    and indeed all oral compounds with this C-17 addition had been discovered
    to cause dose-related hepatotoxicity. This small change was additionally discovered to lower these brokers’ interaction with aromatase.

    [7] Therefore, even small modifications to these parent compounds cause
    a number of alterations within the inherent nature of AASs.
    Medical interest within the useful effects of those medicine has increased, and ongoing analysis will proceed to uncover novel uses for these agents and can further define their mechanisms of motion.
    Laryngoscopic findings confirmed no differences between groups with regard
    to oedema of the vocal cords and laryngitis.

    Nevertheless, earlier reports do notice oedema and hyperaemia shortly after beginning AAS administration, but subsiding afterwards.
    Importantly, members didn’t self-report changes
    in voice, highlighting that these modifications can happen progressively and unnoticed.
    Although the variety of feminine AAS users is considerably smaller than that of their male counterparts (estimated
    international lifetime prevalence price of 1.6% in contrast with
    6.4% for males (2)), feminine energy athletes use AAS as properly.
    These girls are probably to carry out shorter cycles,
    favor other AAS types (stanozolol, oxandrolone) and use
    lower dosages.
    Tren is the Nandrolone hormone possessing a double bond at carbons 9
    and 11. These double bonds sluggish the hormone’s metabolism, inhibit aromatization and tremendously improve
    its binding affinity to the androgen receptor. These easy
    yet essential adjustments make Tren one of the powerful anabolic androgenic steroids of all time.
    For an appreciation of this steroid’s energy we only need to look at its ratings; Tren carries an anabolic ranking
    of 500 and androgenic score of 500 in comparability with testosterone
    that’s one hundred in each categories. As previously mentioned, Estrogen is of particular significance and concern to those who use anabolic
    steroids by advantage of the fact that some anabolic steroids, being analogues of the male androgen Testosterone, are aromatizable.

    That is to say that some anabolic steroids can aromatize into Estrogen (E2).

    In truth, Estrogen levels are a paramount concern when anabolic steroid use is taken into
    account, as estrogenic unwanted aspect effects are most likely some of the focused-upon aspects of anabolic steroid
    use and anabolic steroid unwanted side effects.
    One way to keep away from this issue is to stack Deca with another steroid that can promote nitric oxide ranges, like Trenbolone or higher
    doses of testosterone. You can contemplate
    adding HCG to your PCT for two weeks at 2500iu per week, break up into two
    pictures. Like steroid cycles, PCT is individual, so you’ll need
    to tailor compounds and dosages to your necessities relying on how briskly you
    recuperate. Subsequently, getting your T levels and production back on track as soon as possible after a Deca cycle
    is important. This is where your post-cycle therapy protocol is so important, as regaining testosterone perform is among the two big reasons we do PCT (the different being to retain our hard-earned gains).
    For more important anabolic results, testosterone at efficiency doses is
    doubtless one of the finest stacks we are in a position to
    do. I think novices should undoubtedly run a test-only cycle as their first.

    Thus, these medicine are often used illegitimately to gain a aggressive
    edge in sports activities. Approximately 2% of females and 6%
    of males worldwide use or abuse anabolic steroids, with similar estimates for the Usa.

    The most common causes individuals abuse anabolic steroids are
    to enhance athletic performance or enhance physical look.
    Bodybuilders and athletes might use them to
    quickly acquire muscle mass, enhance power, and enhance endurance.
    Even those that aren’t athletes might flip to steroids to achieve
    a leaner, more muscular look that matches societal ideals.

    While this is a frequent application, AAS are used for several
    different purposes. It is commonplace to actually do blood exams and see where your blood markers are.
    Blood ldl cholesterol, stress, irritation, blood sugar, estrogen, thyroid function, and so forth.
    We thought of safety ratings based on results on ldl cholesterol,
    hair loss, and overall side effects.

  7. Trenbolone HCB Liver Support

    With steroids, the approach to muscle constructing and coaching modified totally.
    These medicine became basic in striving for greater muscles, extra strength, and higher stamina.
    The issue of utilizing medicine to reinforce performance is huge in sports activities and fitness.
    Steroids can hurt the center and even change the brain’s construction. It’s important to know these severe
    risks when attempting to develop muscular tissues with steroids.

    The dose of illegal anabolic steroids is often 10 to a hundred
    times larger than the dose a well being care provider prescribes for medical
    problems. Some adults and teens use unlawful anabolic steroids to lower body fats, get greater muscle tissue, and improve strength.
    They use the medication as a outcome of they are looking for to improve how well they play sports
    activities or how they look. Some individuals take legal dietary dietary supplements that have sure steroid hormones additionally made by
    the human body.
    Winstrol (stanozolol) is an identical anabolic steroid to Anavar in regard to both of
    them being DHT derivatives and having potent fat-burning and lean mass-building properties.
    Note how the lady above didn’t really lose any weight (+2
    kg), yet she experienced dramatic fat loss. Thus,
    because of Anavar’s low toxicity, we discover that customers
    generally don’t experience any apparent side effects when taking this compound.

    Nevertheless, if abused with extreme dosages or overextended cycles, harmful
    unwanted effects can occur.
    People who misuse anabolic steroids usually take them orally, inject
    them into muscle tissue, or apply them to the pores and skin as a gel or
    cream. These doses may be 10 to a hundred instances higher than doses prescribed to deal with
    medical conditions. Anabolic medications are categorised as Schedule III substances within the Usa.

    The 2016 NIDA-funded Monitoring the Future examine has shown that past-year misuse
    of steroids has declined amongst eighth and 10th graders
    in current years, whereas holding steady for 12th graders. In phrases of pure muscle tissue being built, Trenbolone HCB Liver Support
    can rival any bulking steroid. Nevertheless, as a outcome of it doesn’t cause extreme weight gain as a
    result of water loss and fats loss, it takes the 4th spot.
    Oral steroids stimulate hepatic lipase in the liver, additional lowering high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and thus exacerbating
    blood stress.
    To reply the query “are steroids safe” the answer
    could be no, since chronic results of steroids can be fatal.
    If the particular person has taken any other steroids up to now, alongside Anadrol, they will want to calculate the detection occasions of
    these too. Thus, out of your last dose till this time, hint quantities remain biologically current, which might cause
    a failed check. If a consumer leaves plenty of time and
    cycles off 2.5 months before a test, they will be fine.

    Anabolic steroids are prescription medicines that contain a synthetic type of testosterone.

    As the first sex hormone in males, testosterone is answerable for the
    event of certain options, corresponding to facial hair.

    The draw back to using Anavar repeatedly
    is that testosterone suppression can be exacerbated, while LDL levels of cholesterol
    stay elevated for a sustained period of time. Consequently, a person’s
    pure testosterone production will take longer to recover when finally coming off
    Anavar. A few of our sufferers have skilled insomnia
    or difficulty sleeping on anabolic steroids, together with Anavar.

    The person will attempt to take sufficient anabolic steroids to extend the power to train and
    allow muscular tissues to develop whereas minimizing
    the chance of side effects and the potential
    of being caught. Usually, people take steroids in cycles with regular injections adopted by periods of relaxation. Quite A
    Few books and websites focus on the advantages and dangers of different strategies to maximise the effect of a
    big selection of steroids on the body. There is a big underground unlawful industry that has grown to satisfy the demand for anabolic steroids
    and provides methods to attempt to keep away from detection. Steroids
    are often used in patterns referred to as “biking.”
    This includes taking a number of doses of steroids over a specific time frame, stopping for a interval, and beginning again.
    Long-term use could cause the physique to provide too many
    purple blood cells and irregular ranges of fats (lipids) in the blood.
    Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)—the bad—cholesterol
    levels improve, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)—the good—cholesterol ranges lower.

    The signs and signs of AAS abuse and addiction usually are not
    so straight forward and clearly visible as with other
    substances of abuse. Somewhat, indicators and symptoms are a result of opposed drug results that these
    steroid pills or injections have on hormonal regulation of secondary sexual traits.
    The Nationwide Institute on Drug Abuse additionally reports that abuse and subsequent anabolic steroid habit
    is predominantly seen in male bodybuilders and weightlifters between the ages of 20 and
    30.

    Nevertheless, the first objective of Primobolan is treating muscle wasting diseases and extended publicity to
    corticoid hormones. Accumulating proof means that long-term use of supraphysiologic
    doses of AAS may have adverse effects on numerous organ techniques, resulting in each medical and psychiatric pathology.
    Importantly, accumulating evidence suggests that
    a few of these results might persist lengthy after last AAS exposure.
    However this case is poised to change, as hundreds of hundreds of former (and generally nonetheless current) illicit AAS
    users begin to move the age of forty five. As this wave of aging
    customers approaches, it is imperative to initiate larger and more systematic studies of the long-term effects of AAS, so that we
    are able to higher inform both the current and future generations.

    Dbol is often utilized in bulking cycles to help users build massive amounts of muscle measurement
    and power. The major medical use of those compounds is to treat situations similar to hypertension, kidney
    disease, and congestive heart failure. Taken with out
    medical supervision, diuretics can outcome in potassium depletion and possibly even dying.

    You can see that a few of the old bodybuilders who’ve come off steroids
    can shrink dramatically. Nevertheless, a big proportion of this muscle loss can be attributed
    to them having stopped lifting weights. Tamoxifen and clomiphene can additionally be taken during cycles
    to forestall extreme estrogen ranges that can cause gynecomastia.

    Clomiphene, also recognized as Clomid, doesn’t
    negatively have an effect on cholesterol levels (31).

    At Present, a dose of 15–30 mg per day is commonplace for bodybuilders eager to expertise vital changes in muscular strength and
    dimension. Research has proven AIs to be efficient at restoring the HPT axis,
    with anastrozole and letrozole significantly improving testosterone-estrogen ratios in doses of 1 mg (anastrozole) and 2.5 mg (letrozole) daily (21).
    AIs have also been proven to be advantageous
    when combined with SERMs for restoring testosterone production.
    If symptoms are not properly tolerated, endogenous testosterone manufacturing could additionally be stimulated by prescribing tamoxifen 20
    mg as quickly as every day or clomiphene 50 mg once daily for several weeks.
    Both drugs mildly stimulate gonadotropin and testosterone manufacturing and do
    not suppress spermatogenesis. Testosterone substitution should be withheld so long as attainable, because it
    interferes with HPG axis restoration, and prescribed provided
    that no additional restoration of the HPG is expected.
    It is the coverage of our clinic not to provide routine
    well being and blood checks to energetic users without well being issues.

    The resumption of natural testosterone manufacturing can take many months
    if left to happen on its own. A PCT cycle is important following
    the usage of Deca-Durabolin in order that testosterone production may be
    encouraged to start taking place sooner and faster and that will assist you keep away from a state of low testosterone.
    As is the case with any steroid use, androgenic side effects are heavily dependent on your genetics.
    Even then, Deca-Durabolin is recognized as one of the extra moderate by
    means of its capability to cause androgenic-type unwanted
    facet effects. With an androgenic rating of simply 37, in comparability
    with Testosterone’s a hundred, we are ready to assume a much
    less potent androgenic effect general. In explicit, Nandrolone’s stimulation of
    mammary tissue estrogen receptors is of most concern, resulting in potential gynecomastia.

    Consumption of anabolic steroids might trigger severe hurt
    to teenagers or anybody who tries to take it for quick muscle
    and energy gains and could largely have an effect on their lives.
    However, lots of users reported that anabolic steroids have additionally enabled[4] them to recover faster after intense training classes and elevated libido.
    Additionally, Anabolic steroids may fit by enhancing the athletic
    efficiency of athletes and bodybuilders.
    Anabolic steroids, also referred to as anabolic-androgenic steroids, are an artificial variety of
    the male sex hormone known as testosterone.
    The side effects of anabolic steroid abuse affect multiple areas of the body.

    Anabolic steroids are abused in a selection of methods, often at doses far exceeding what would be prescribed by a doctor.
    Some users take amounts which might be 10 to 100 occasions higher than the medically recommended dosage.
    Steroids could be taken orally, injected into muscles, or applied as gels or lotions on the pores and skin. Nonetheless, when testosterone
    levels are artificially elevated past normal ranges,
    the risks enhance significantly. Anabolic-androgenic steroids should only be prescribed
    by a medical physician for clearly outlined medical causes.

    The severity of unwanted side effects will also depend on the dosage and cycle length.
    A typical trenbolone cycle consists of dosages starting from 150 to 225
    mg/week in an 8- to 10-week cycle. Trenbolone unwanted effects are generally inconsistent, with some users
    experiencing just about the entire above, while others solely experience
    delicate opposed results. Trenbolone possesses one of many highest androgenic
    rankings of the anabolic steroid household, at 500.
