Fortunately, with the help of magic, Kyrie could get in touch with Maria immediately. Maria sent her regards in a worried voice.
「I heard the story, Kyrie. If it’s a villa, I’ve prepared it so that you can use it at will. If there’s a problem, tell the manager.」
“Thank you, Maria. Thanks to you, I can finally get out of the inn.”
「You’re welcome. If I can help you, I’ll help you.」
Kyrie smiled. Maria was the next Duchess of Old Ciudad. She had a lot to worry about in many ways, but she always spared no effort in helping her. Kyrie silently thanked her again.
“This is enough. Are you and Laura all right?”
「Sel Arellano is peaceful. What could possibly happen to us? But…」
“But?”
It was a voice full of worries.
「There are rumors about you spreading around in the social world, Kyrie. 」
Kyrie laughed for a while before she composed herself and returned to her expressionless face.
Since Maria brought the story up, it meant that it was not normal.
“You mean, it’s intentional?”
「Unfortunately…」
“It’s so obvious.”
Maria sighed.
「Right. It must be Baron Cassner.」
The culprit was either the Crown Prince, who was Kyrie’s ex-fiancé, or the Crown Prince’s new fiancé, Rubinia Cassner.
Kyrie was from the Buchanan family. The Buchanan family not only had the title of Count but was also a major contributor to the nation.
On the other hand, Rubinia was an emerging noble in the province. Naturally, the Crown Prince had nothing to gain by marrying Rubinia.
Now that the Crown Prince and Rubinia announced their engagement, it was time for people to watch the situation unravel.
‘This time, I’ve become a nuisance to the Buchanan family, haven’t I? In fact, except for the central nobility, Buchanan holds most of the power.’ (T/N: she means that since Buchanan has this much power more gruesome the Rumors would be)
‘Count Cesar Buchanan’s skills are great. In contrast, Baron Cassner…’
‘It was always daughter business, daughter business.’ (T/N: She means her father was always focused on daughter ‘how to make the best benefit’ and business. So she is just repeating this words)
“Baroness Cassner would go to great lengths to prevent such comparisons between her daughter and I being made,” Kyrie mumbled to herself.
“My engagement with the Crown Prince was annulled, but I was too ignorant of my father’s reaction.”
「They were quite clumsy in trying to hide the root of the unfounded rumor. A lot of people will know the source is Baron Cassner. But as you know… 」
“They won’t care.”
「Yes. They’ve officially finished the engagement announcement, and I’m sure they’ll be talking about this for at least a few days.”」
“I’m glad I came down to Elsus.”
「The people are thirsty for gossip. Take a break while watching the winter sea, Kyrie.」
