Imperial Palace? Everyone’s eyes turned to Laura.
It wasn’t a friendly look. The Valentine’s people would of course be hostile to the Imperial Palace.
“Are you a kid who worked in the Imperial Palace?”
“But why are you here?”
“From what I’ve heard, the Young Madam brought her that was wandering through the Ingo Mountains.”
“What, then, was she a spy from the Imperial Palace?”
Laura, pale of the remark that she was a spy, staggered back and faltered.
“N, no! I, I’ve never set foot in such a grand place like the Imperial Palace!”
But Marronnier was sure. While she was staying at the Imperial Palace, she ran into a lot of servants, coming and going to get Aria stuff.
“No, I saw it clearly. You were one of the apprentice maids.”
“I think you’ve seen someone who looks like me. There’s no way they can use a kid like me in the Imperial Palace.”
“You were called Daisy in the Imperial Palace. I heard the maids say that you suddenly disappeared on the day of the hunting contest.”
There was a reason why Marronnier paid special attention to the apprentice maids among the many and many Imperial Palace servants.
It reminded her of her own childhood, and it was also because she was exactly the same age when Aria came to the Grand Duke’s castle.
“How, how could that be…”
Was the child even a child?
When she was suddenly nailed in the head, Laura gave an outright agitated response.
“Are you the one who entered Young Madam’s room?”
Marronnier, who used to be a soft squirrel, now asked, showing her teeth fiercely.
Laura shook her head.
“I, it’s not me!”
And as if she was running away, she backed away.
“If not, explain now!”
“Ack!”
Marronnier grabbed Laura’s hand and pulled her away. Then something trickled from Laura’s sleeve and fell onto the grass.
A necklace of water drop crystals. It was the cursed necklace that could contain divine power.
“…so for real?”
When the words that Marronnier threw to scare Laura were actually true, Marronnier herself was even more flustered.
To get to Aria’s room, Laura would have to go through the main palace entrance, where there were wolves and jaguar cages.
It was a zone of wild beasts that devoured intruders alive when they entered. Outsiders were never allowed in.
“…!”
When everyone was silent for a while without understanding the situation.
Laura quickly hung the necklace around her neck and widened the distance.
‘Oh, right. Come to think of it, that necklace has Gabriel’s divine power…… !’
With that necklace, anyone could use divine power. The child’s eyes were instantly dyed with a brilliant golden light.
Some employees, noticing the meaning of the eye color, seriously hardened their expressions.
“Divine power!”
