Thank you so much for this new chapter!
I'm really enjoying this story very much and can't wait to see these two getting even closer, it's great that Rippley has decidedly conquered her trauma from her previous life, thanks to the Duke's words too, and moved on energetically, this is the kind of bubbly and strong character she is after all, in spite of doing some silly things once in a while, which makes her lovable hahaha
