Isn't Being A Wicked Woman Much Better?

"Does the fact that there is a different real name mean she changed her name?"

I asked the surprised woman.

"Yes, the name 'Jamilla' was the name the 4th Queen used during her stay in the Kingdom of Nerman, and the name 'Astella' she uses now was the name given to her by His Majesty the Emperor when the third prince was born."

"... I see."

So that's why the name Jamilla didn't appear on Isidor's list.

It's a collection of names that have been investigated over the past three years.

"And the fact that Mia threw away the Duchess's diary also meant that she was deeply intertwined with the 4th Queen to the extent that she knew her real name."

While thinking, the woman's eyes trembled with anxiety.

"By the way, how does Princess Seymour know her name...? It's a name known only to those who came from the Kingdom of Nerman..."

She murmured a bit with a puzzled expression.

She wasn't obliged to answer, so I stood up.

"Forget everything that happened today. As long as you keep your mouth shut, you won't get sparks."

"Oh, yes. It's an honor to serve Princess Seymour."

The woman, who quickly understood what I was saying, grabbed the money bag and bowed, and Isidor and I, who discovered the identity of the name in the crossword puzzle, put on our robes and left through the back door of the monastery.

"After all, Jamilla was the name of the 4th Queen."

"I've come to remember that there is always darkness under a lamp."

I nodded in agreement with Isidor.

The person behind the sorcerers, the demon contractor who caused rifts and numerous casualties, has been wandering through the imperial court undetected.

She was even the Queen of a foreign country without a support base.

Who would have imagined?

Apart from the feeling of surprise, as the blank pieces of the puzzle appeared one by one, the overall picture that the other person drew began to take shape concretely.

In the novel, Mia's constant refusal to court wealthy and powerful candidates was because she was already designed to support the 3rd Prince after establishing herself as the incarnation of the Saint.

"After all, the 4th Queen created a false Saint named Mia to make her son emperor."

Trying to use the status of Saint Nayla to justify the 3rd Prince lacking legitimacy.

I opened my mouth, thinking that parents' obsession with their children was terrifying.

"Now I understand why the sorcerers who pretended to be priests and sought the Saint didn't touch Mia Binoche, and why they tried to turn Mia into a Saint."

"The reason Marquis Francois fully supported Mia Binoche was to establish the son of the 4th Queen as emperor."

Isidor responded to my words.

"The man chosen by the incarnation of the Saint. Even if he doesn't have the blue hair that symbolizes the imperial family, I think people could support him."

"Also, putting a Saint at the forefront can attract the temple forces that were wary of the growing imperial power."

As Isidor said, if a saint becomes Queen, there is justification for the temple to intervene directly or indirectly in politics.
