[The winter has passed and the weather has gotten warmer lately. How have you been? I miss you so much, my daughter. I hope you will always be happy there. However, as your father, I am so disappointed that nothing has happened between you and His Majesty the Emperor. I hope your relationship with His Majesty the Emperor will improve soon.]

It wasn’t a long letter. As soon as she finished reading, Helen wanted to crumple up the letter, but she didn’t have the courage to do that.

She felt like she would definitely get into trouble by being an insolent child toward her father.

All gifts and letters that were sent into the Imperial Palace usually would go through the inspections.

Surely, this letter was also included for the inspections right after it came into the Imperial Palace, so she couldn’t just write down about her father’s scheme openly in the letter.

While preparing to become a concubine back in Cordelia, the first thing that she learned was cryptography.

There was another way to decipher the letter of her father.

Even though it only contained friendly words at the first glance, if she looked closely for the secret code, it was actually a reminder about her relationship with the Emperor and to push the assassionation plan soon.

[Don’t forget your duty.]

What was her duty…?

She wondered about her actual role that she had in here.

Helen stared at the letter with a frown while holding back her quivering eyelashes.

The woman’s face looked like she was about to burst into tears.

After coming to Idelberg, she occasionally received letters from her father.

When she received the first letter, she expected that her father would have been worried about her.

When she received the second letter, she thought she should have tolerated him just for  once because he sent me the same letter.

It has been a year since she came to Idelberg, but she only received three letters so far, and she had never received a single letter stating his concern for Helen.

‘Just for once….’

If only she got the chance to feel her father’s affection toward her.

Tears eventually fell down from Helen’s eyes and soaked the letter.

Tears blocked her eyes which caused his vision to be blurry.

She felt guilty toward her father because she had been holding herself for a year. She felt guilty of being sent under her father’s order but ended up living an easy life here.
