"Of course, even if an accident occurs, the duke's other daughter will suffice. It's quite a solid bond, isn't it?"
Empress Lenisha spoke elegantly.
Levanfell's match was to be a royal princess by all means. The most honorable place, and at the same time, a place to die, trapped in the tail of the empress.
The merciless father who offered his daughter to that place where everyone hides their daughters was none other than the duke.
A cold man who offered an illegitimate child, found by turning the empire upside down, while hiding his precious youngest daughter.
So the duke will move as I wish, like a chess piece on the board.
"I will go."
Everyone knew that agreement had been omitted from the duke's words. Empress Lenisha threw words mixed with laughter at the retreating figure of the duke.
"Take care, Duke. No matter what others say, we are on the same side, aren't we?"
A tinkling laughter spread from the reception room behind them. Duke Giovanni Madelleine gritted his teeth.
"Olivia, what on earth is she doing to make the Empress mention Asella?"
He had to go to the mansion. Before she ruins things more.

As soon as the Duke left, Lady Cheize, the countess, collapsed on the floor.
"Your, Your Majesty. I really didn't do it. Please believe me."
"I want to believe you, too."
The moment a pitiful voice was heard, Lady Cheize suddenly lifted her head as if she had found a glimmer of hope.
"But what can I do?"
"Your, Your Majesty?"
"There's so much evidence against you. I don't have to make enemies with Madelleine by taking your side. Right?"
"......"
"You must have been tired coming up to the capital for the first time. Take care of yourself and go back to Cheize Territory."
Everything was neatly settled. Empress Lenisha waved her hand lightly at Lady Cheize, the countess, who was being ushered out.
When the door closed, the empress laughed like a girl again.
"It was fun, intimidating the head steward. That wretched creature's pretty good."
Empress Lenisha's eyes narrowed. Was this Madelleine, though only half? Ha. After all, he is just a half.
He will not fit in anywhere.
"I'm glad you had fun, Your Majesty."
Lady Ofptem, the closest among the maids, smiled as she applied fragrance oil to the Empress's hand.
The Empress's relaxed eyes were confirmed, and Lady Ofptem said as if she had just remembered.
"Anyway, Lady Etel is not ordinary either. Daring to impersonate the Crown Prince."
"It was a little dangerous this time. Really, if Your Majesty hadn't graced us, that lovely face would have been crumpled."
"Indeed. Your Majesty is truly amazing. How could you wisely send a maid like that?"
Empress Lenisha generously remembered Maria Etel.
The Crown Prince's lover, with a lovable appearance.
