The Mute Female Knight Disguised As a Man
①2023.10.5 【An Apology to Readers and the novel Break Announcement】 Hello readers who enjoyed this book, I'm CloudC. I'm sorry for the 1 month break, this was due to the fact that I was made redundant at the beginning of last month and with very little earnings from writing novels, I started a frantic search for a job in order to make ends meet (while I haven't found one yet) Once life is back on track, I promise you that I will be back to updating as soon as I can, and I'll be back to updating as of 24.1.1! Please forgive me, I was really hard pressed by life and had no choice but to cut off my updates. Chapter 103 is definitely not the real ending, the plot of this book has only progressed halfway, this chapter can be considered a minor climax or the beginning of a key turning point in Chad and Orville's emotions. The book is marked as "Finished", I think it may be due to contractual reasons, because it's not what I marked, after a while, I will discuss with the editor to change the status of the book. This novel will be back on 24.1.1, please look forward to it, I'm sorry for the break in production. ②2023.9.2 Notice: On the cover is the ML: Orville ③2023.8.17 Notice: Frequency of daily updates：One episode per day ================================================== Chad has three secrets. One, Chad is a false name. Two, she is a woman disguised as a man. And three, she has a crush on the Duke of Orville. She tells no one these three secrets, but one night the second one is broken by a strange man. The man uses her secret as blackmail, forcing her to give in step by step, to fall a little, but she doesn't even notice that the man is asking her for more and more favours, and that the Duke is giving her more and more looks. Then one day she found out she was pregnant. In a panic, she hurriedly and roughly packed some important luggage and fled in the night. [Update frequency] 1.

043 Scary Phone Call
Elaine set down her empty glass of milk and licked the corners of her mouth, not bothering to reach for the light, but instead tucking her legs in and pulling the covers over her, ready to just go straight to sleep.
"Ding, ding, ding--"
Unprepared, the phone set at the foot of the bed suddenly rang, not loudly but a little shrilly, startling the already sensitive Elaine in the stillness of the night, withdrawing several paces into the bed, her heart pounding.
But then quickly reacted to the fact that it wasn't as if the phone hadn't been ringing before. In the last few days of her stay, Elaine had received occasional calls from family members and psychiatrists out in the country, only they had been careful about the time of day, and this was the first time they had called this late at night.
