The moment the Emperor said 'daughter-in-law', both Marquis Hamel and I froze with embarrassment.

It was too disparate of a word to come out of the wild beast's mouth.

"Your Majesty, it's because Her Highness first insulted our family..."

However, Marquis Hamel was unable to continue speaking because the Emperor's sword was already at his wrist.

"Then, why did this wretched hand move?"

"That....."

"Were you going to give the Crown Princess a slap?"

"N-no......"

"Are you saying that I'm lying?"

The sharp blade flashed dangerously. It seems Marquis Hamel tried to hit me. I was the Crown Princess, and the Emperor was beside him, so he stopped his hand.

I couldn't see them properly because the blade was flashing in front of my eyes. Suddenly, the Emperor's assistant, Collin, appeared in front of me.

"Your Highness, I think you'd better go home for today."

In contrast to his cold demeanor, he smiled warmly.

"Okay. I'll be on my way."

I bowed down to the Emperor and left the room without saying anything. I gave a video footage to Collin as he accompanied me out of the Emperor's palace.

"What is this?"

"It's a video of Sir Hamel insulting the Crown Prince and me."

This was a clear indication that he was guilty of subversion.

Originally, I planned to deliver it directly to the Emperor, but I could trust Collin.

He was the Emperor's most trusted servant and knew that Tenstheon actually loved Blake.

"You prepared this too?"

Colin seemed rather surprised.

"I can't just accuse a person without any evidence."

There was something like this in my previous life too. Since there was CCTV footage to support my claims, the guilty person was able to escape the charge. Since then, I realized the importance of having evidence.

"I'll let the Emperor know."

Collin bowed politely.

***

Hamel was fired for trying to slap the Crown Princess in the presence of the Emperor. His son also used his position as a chief servant to embezzle the wealth of the Imperial family and was punished for insulting the Crown Prince.

This wasn't the end. Hamel and his family were stripped of their titles and sentenced to 30 years of hard labor.

The family of the Marquis fell to the ground, but no one dared to take their side.

If the Emperor had tried to punish the family for the Monstrous Crown Prince, the nobles would have had a reason to protect them.

However, the Emperor did not use the Crown Prince as a reason. He asked to punish the Hamels because they slighted the Crown Prince and insulted the Imperial family.

The man also tried to slap the Crown Princess in front of the Emperor, and the son made such low-handed insults.

Marquis Hamel pretended to be loyal to the Emperor, but served the Duke of Cassil behind his back. The Emperor pretended not to know, but he must have already been thinking about how to punish him.
