Max's face was not very good when he went to the emperor.

"What happened?" I smiled as I stared at Max.

"Why do you look at me like that?"

"Oh, well, I thought someone said something bad." When I thought about the imperial palace and talked without the subject, he smiled.

"It was a good word rather than a bad word. It is just because the person who said it was bad."

"What do you mean?"

"He said let's set a date for our wedding."

"What?" Surprised at the unexpected remark, he held my hand tightly and lifted it up. As if he'd never let go.

"Why? No?" It wasn't that I hate it. It's just that I didn't expect any sudden talk of marriage.

'At least I wanted to have a leisurely marriage...'

But to be honest, he might be disappointed, so I turned around and said.

"No, not that. It was strange that he said that." Then he touched my hand, smiling and holding it.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you." He bowed and kissed me on the back of my hand. Surprised by his unexpected behavior, I flinched greatly.

"Ma, Max. Wait a minute!" No matter how remote it is, it's the Imperial Palace. At first glance, there may be no one, but someone could have been watching us like before.

"Why?" He asked in a strange voice if he felt it was strange to be scared. I sighed.

'Liche told me not to talk, but it bothers me.'

Sir Victor is an excellent prosecutor who is well known as a top prosecutor. It was on my mind that a competent person who could escape from the scandal was watching Liche.

"The room..." Max's eyes grew grim as I told him the truth about what had happened earlier.

"I see." From the cold look of his expression, there was something I could guess.

"Just in case, Max, don't say anything to Sir Victor, okay?" Then he flinched and shook his head.

"Okay." When I arrived in front of the carriage, Max held my hand from the side so that I could get on the carriage. I grabbed his hand and climbed onto the carriage, pulled it without letting go. When Max made a curious face, I smiled and whispered.

"You work hard today, so I'll give you a prize before I go." At my temptation, Max stared at me with a blank face, then said with an attractive smile.

"You really make me feel like working." Soon the door of the carriage closed, and he rushed in like a beggar.

"Today, Her Imperial Highness the Princess spent time with Little Duke Floyen." At the report of the Knight posted to Beatrice, the empress asked, frowing.

"Don't you know what they were talking about?"

"Yes, Her Imperial Highness sent us out, and besides, the ability of the Crown Prince's guard knight next to her is so good that it's impossible to spy on them." At that, the Empress sharpened her teeth.

'Maximilian, you are an obstacle in my life!'

That the emperor deceived her by contraceptives, and her daughter who listened well was broken. Come to think of it, it wouldn't have happened without Maximilian.

'Because of him, I...'

At that moment, she remembered the rebuke she had heard one day.

Isabelle remembers what Latisha, the late Empress, said and she sharpened her teeth.
