How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 130

"Count Ecklen hates the Duke of Reston......"

Marquis Croychen mumbled, recalling the past.

"I heard they had some kind of grudge in the past."

"I heard that too. In fact, they didn't and still don't get along well."

"That's right. The Count will never side with the Duke."

Another nobleman was spoken in response to the Minister of Home Affairs.

"The Count's son[1] is with the Empress. We have to take advantage of that."
[1] Seibel, Theor's teacher.

Florin and Marianne listened carefully to the three men.

Since coming here, their father has not explained his plan to his daughters.

He said that it was all his wife and daughters' fault that the family was in this situation, and he drew a line with them.

'You will feel better if you blame others.'

Their conversation ended with that. The Marquis got up first.

Other nobles also went out with him.

Maybe he will be leaving for the capital again before dawn.

After the study was empty, Florin asked her older sister.

"Do you know what Father was talking about?"

"It was a plan to separate the Emperor and the Empress."

Marianne explained the story she heard to Florin.

Florin couldn't keep her mouth shut when she heard that.

"What a fool.....!"

How could the emperor fall for such a stupid trick?

Where in the world could an assassination attempt be so sloppy in the first place?

Florin was stunned and forgot to lower her voice.

"I think so too," Marianne agreed. "But there's not much father can do right now, so he's trying to do whatever he can."

Her older sister's short hair caught Florin's gaze.

Marianne became more cautious than she was before thanks to her hard work in the convent.

"One way or another, I hope she will fall soon."

Instead, she developed a deep hatred for Empress Astelle.

"Daphne entered the Imperial Palace but His Majesty the Emperor treated her like dust."

"I don't even think Daphne can do well."

In fact, there was no way the Emperor could turn his attention to another woman.

Marianne shook her head in annoyance.

"What the hell is Naen doing there?"

"I don't expect much from her either."

Florin turned to Vellian for help, but she has yet to hear from him.

***

Even though there was an accident on the day the imperial couple went to the theater, the atmosphere of the Imperial Palace flowed peacefully as if nothing had happened.

The only thing that changed was that strange rumors were circulating inside the Imperial Palace.

"Rumors are divided, but the basic content is that the Empress and the Duke tried to assassinate the Emperor. In particular, the Duke......"
