"What could be more important than a prince?"
The Marquis Sios turned irritably to Lisa.
After all, it was her actions that led to such a result.
The successor's palace has now drifted into the wrong hands.
Every time he saw his daughter's face, an incredible anger rose from within the marquis.
"The name Sios is more important than the palace of Regulus," Lisa said calmly, enduring the Marquis's aggression.
"That book from the House of Drua has surfaced, and articles about the Marquis are pouring in from all sides. There was even an article that the Marquis conceived an attempt on the second prince in order to strengthen the right of his grandson to the throne."
"Well, in reality it was not quite like that. After all, you foolishly tried to encroach on the second prince, but Duke Drua is now dead, and the heir's palace has been taken from under our noses. It is thanks to you that every dog reviles my name."
The Marquis Sios grumbled, not harboring anger.
Accusing her of all sins in the world would have become absurd, but Lisa restrained herself.
As for the murder, her oversight was obvious here.
"Do you feel sorry for your son, who is now left without a palace?"
When he did not fail to draw Edmund into the story, a spark flashed in Lisa's green eyes. However, in the current situation, no benefit would come from squabbling with the Marquis.
"Think better of the emperor's suspicions."
"His Majesty? If he had the will, he would have already given the order to investigate my cases. But Drua took all the secrets to the next world. So let the emperor suspect as much as his heart desires. He cannot pursue the Marquis for no reason."
The Marquis Sios seemed to think that the Emperor was powerless, but Lisa was not.
The number of newspapers broadcasting about the conspiracy grew, and rumor spread among the nobility.
It is quite possible that the story with the ledger was his handiwork.
It was he who carried Ellie out of the burning mansion.
If he got there, it means that he followed Duke Drua even before the assassination attempt.
"The annual meeting will begin, and the nobles will collect votes in favor of the investigation. Then the emperor can climb into our life without any evidence."
"More than a month before the noble convention. By that time, all this noise will have died down."
"The assembly of the nobility can be brought closer."
Marquis Sios clicked his tongue and spoke as if he was not going to delve into this nonsense.
"Then it would have already been announced. There is nothing to fool me with these nonsense, and better look after your image in the light. In order to prevent the empress from expanding her power."
He turned away from Lisa's words.
And then there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The butler greeted and put the envelope on the Marquis's desk.
"Sir, here is a letter from the imperial family regarding the noble convention."
***
I met with Lumon at the time that the postponement of the conference of the nobility was announced.
