Do Your Best and Regret

Chapter 72

"Is that possible? Unfulfilled plans can often look similar. You may not know this because you rarely attend tea parties or banquets, but the summer banquets held by Her Highness always surprise us."

The daughter of the Marquis of Liveorn hurried to protect the Princess. Her cunning was clearly revealed as she wondered what a Princess who did not engage in many social activities would know. Only then did the other daughters add their words.

"That's right, Princess. If you take your debutante next year, you will come to the summer banquet. Please join us at the banquet that year."

"There is only one year left until the Princess's debutante. You always couldn't come to the tea party due to health problems. Wouldn't you have a year to be healthy by the time of your debutante?"

"Why do you say that? It's not like the Princess did it on purpose."

Among the ladies, there was an alternation of hospitality and rudeness towards Ethella. She continued to walk the tightrope back and forth between being the Princess of the same Emperor's faction and Princess Madeleine, but Ethella just smiled. Then the direction of their conversation became increasingly strange.

"Have you found a chaperone to accompany you to the debutante? I already heard that the Little Duke was looking for a chaperone."

One of the ladies spoke subtly. Everyone's eyes twinkled, pretending not to be like that. The position of Princess Madeleine's chaperone was a coveted position. It is also a chance to make a mark on the single Conrad and Jade Madeleine.

Ethella, who was smiling elegantly, slowly opened her words.

"My brother too. I just need to go with my sister."

Sister.

Someone took a deep breath.

Everyone looked at Ethella for a moment. No one was able to say anything while looking at her face and asking what was going on. Everyone here remembered what happened last time to Olivia, with a face that showed she knew nothing, and Ethella Madeleine, with her eyes sparkling as she took the side of her illegitimate child.

"How can you treat the daughter of the dancer who killed your mother like your own sister?"

She even had an empty face, as if her world was falling apart.

As they looked at each other, the Princess frowned. She couldn't understand. Why did Ethella Madeleine suddenly change her stance?

After learning the truth, the relationship between Ethella Madeleine and her half-sister was clearly strained. After that, Olivia received a marriage proposal from the Grand Duke and left for the Vikander Territory, so there would have been no change in their relationship.

The Princess hurriedly got her words out.

"Sister. No way, that green-eyed woman."

"No way."

A low voice interrupted the Princess.

"You are probably not talking about my older sister, Olivia Madeleine, who is listed as the eldest daughter of the Madeleine duchy in the noble encyclopedia approved by His Majesty the Supreme Emperor."

In an instant, the table became quiet. Even the daughter of the Marquis of Libeorn, who had stood up fiercely at the cruel action, froze. An encyclopedia of nobles approved by the Emperor.  The Princess's eyes wavered.

Looking at that, Ethella bit the flesh inside her mouth. Her nails dug into the inside of her closed fist, but she felt no pain anywhere. Instead, she felt sick to her stomach, as if she were going to feel nauseous. Just mentioning the Emperor made her speechless on this topic. That day, she cut her sister to pieces with her tongue.
