Do Your Best and Regret

Chapter 49

"There is no way to return to the White Crystal Mine, where ownership has already been notarized with a magic seal."

As soon as the Count finished speaking, the Princess let out a soft laugh. The atmosphere in the living room became threatening as if it might explode. But the Count did not regret his words. He just barely suppressed his boiling inside and told the truth as calmly as possible.

Even though the Princess knew he was on leave due to his wife's illness, she thought it was really urgent to find him. That was why he entered the palace, leaving her wife, who had been suffering from childbed fever for several days, behind. But at best.

"Find a way to retrieve the white crystal mine that was handed over to Princess Madeleine. I hope it will be done by tomorrow if possible."

The voice of the Princess the Count heard as soon as he hurriedly entered the living room came to mind. Count Yubler clenched his fists once again at her carefree voice as if she would naturally know the answer.

"Count."

"Yes. Your Highness."

"I told you to find a way, not to come to a conclusion."

In contrast to her elegant expression, the Princess's voice was overbearing. The Count felt tight in his chest once again. They've already done it perfectly on paper. Just as Her Highness the Princess instructed.

"How can I overturn a document that even has a magic seal on it?"

"That's it, that's for the Count to find out."

The Princess spoke lightly as if talking about someone else's business. At that sight, Count Yubler finally began to spit out the words that had been forming in his mouth.

"So, it would have been nice if you could just check what the White Crystal mine is. Don't you know, Your Highness, that there was a separate record in the mine's ownership document that only the royal family could confirm? It's also true that you can't make something that was processed by applying a magic seal disappear. However, if you ask me to find out a way, the only way is to threaten the Princess and get it back..."

"Count!"

Oops.

Count Yubler came to his senses at the nanny's sharp voice and silenced him. The nurse, Baroness Ruhas, who was next to the Princess, quickly examined the Princess's complexion with a bewildered expression on her face. As expected, the Princess's face turned bright red. The Count could clearly see her fingertips trembling as they rested on the armrests of her sofa.

The nanny quickly came forward and she shouted at Count Yubler.

"How dare you say such rude things to Her Highness...!"

"I apologize, Her Royal Highness."

Count Yubler bowed his head deeply. But he never said he was sorry. Even as he looked at the Princess's pale face, rather than worrying about her future, all he could think about was his sick wife.

"...I will reprimand the Count for his current actions later. Get out now."

The Princess doesn't know what this is all about. The Princess was breathing heavily and glaring at the door of her living room. She listened to what the nanny was saying next to her, but she couldn't hear her.

Count Yubler, who was not even properly dressed, even scolded her. Moreover, he goes out without any fault. The more she thought about it, the more amazed she became.

But the Princess caught her breath. The more times she was like this, the more she had to reflect on the situation. Because what was urgent now was not Count Yubler's attitude.
