When Beatrice returned to the palace, it was a dreary time.

"Thank you for escorting me all day." When she thanked Victor for escorting her to her room, he laughed.

"If you know that you're grateful, please talk to me occasionally. I'm bored because there are only people around me." Even though she knew he was just saying his greetings, it made her feel better. But soon Beatrice saw the bandage around his head and lowered her mouth.

'You bleed a lot earlier, are you okay?'

It was when she was tapping her lips in anxiety.

"Beatrice." Liche turned her head to the voice that called for her. Her mother, the empress was seen staring at her. "Today, I heard you were attacked by a beast. Are you hurt?"

"Oh, yes, I'm fine." It was when she was overwhelmed by the sight of her mother who cared about her after a long time.

"Well, who is this Lord escorting my daughter?" Then Victor made a polite example and opened his mouth.

"I am Victor, who was entrusted with the order of His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince to escort Her Imperial Highness the Princess." In response, the empress's eyes narrowed. Soon a cold voice came out of her mouth.

"I have something to talk about with the Princess, so will you just return this?" Even with the empress's congratulatory spirit, who didn't even say a word of good work, Victor looked down without disgust.

"Excuse me. I hope you have a gentle conversation." Beatrice was looking sadly at his back. The empress was annoyed with an irritated tone.

"Maximilian, that scoundrel, I'm not sure if he ignores you. How dare he put such a lowly fellow near you?" At those words, Beatrice felt the lumpiness she had just felt with the empress evaporating in an instant.

'How can you say that to the man who protected me? You can say a word of thanks.'

In Liche's head, there was growing resistance towards her mother.

"So what's your business?" She wanted to quickly listen to her mother's business and issue a congratulatory order. But the Empress, who could not know the inside story, smiled at her daughter and said.

"Oh, I heard there's going to be a good stuff at auction soon."

"Good stuff? What is that, so did my mother come here in person?" To Beatrice's question, the empress replied with a hue color.

"That's a magical item." Beatrice quietly shut her mouth at the word magical item. Then, the empress gave a hard reason.

"You know, don't you know that the child who received the gift from the family is born healthy? This mother wants you to prepare a gift for your younger brother." As the empress spoke, touching her swollen belly, Beatrice replied with a twisting smile.

"I'll think about it." When a somewhat ambiguous reaction came out, the Empress stared at her daughter.

The gift was just an excuse, and in fact, the Empress came to restore the relationship with her daughter who had been estranged for a while. Beatrice was a good child who asked for forgiveness when she came to her directly like this. But now...

"I'm tired, can you go?" Now she was speaking in an irritating tone, as if annoyed.

"Liche, you..." Beatrice said coldly at the moment when the empress was angry at her daughter's change.

"It's because I'm so tired, Mother." Soon after, when the empress left, Beatrice lay on her bed.

'Magical item, maybe we'll find a clue to the power I used earlier.'
