Do Your Best and Regret

Chapter 99

"Who dares?"

Above the quiet banquet hall, the Emperor spat out loudly. His red-hot eyes looked in all directions as if he had been insulted.

The nobles who froze wherever his fiery gaze landed shook their heads in astonishment.

Who dares.

The nobles looked around, mumbling the Emperor's words under their breath. But soon their attention was focused on one place.

The only person smiling brightly in this banquet hall was the Grand Duke, Edwin Vikander Lowell.

As the Emperor's fierceness flashed, the Grand Duke let out a drowsy laugh. Among the nobles, this Duo, who had bright ears, tilted his head, but only for a moment.

"If I ask the Viscount, what do you do? The important thing is not whether Her Highness the Princess stayed at Katanta, but whether or not she stopped by Vikander Territory according to His Majesty's orders."

A smooth voice pointed out the essence. The atmosphere of holding the Viscount accountable and trying to cover up the matter was suddenly overturned.

The joys and sorrows of Viscount Katanta and the Princess were clearly different. The back of the Princess's hands trembled as she held onto her dress.

The Princess's dignity was gradually falling to the ground. This situation was also connected to a crisis of imperial power.

The most powerful Imperial family crisis ever.

A chill came over him as if someone had put a knife in front of his heart. At some point, the Emperor's hands, which were tightly gripping the armrests, could not even be felt.

The bright red eyes looked at the Emperor as if they were truly happy.

With those provocative eyes as if they were playing a game, the Emperor summoned the Grand Duke with the intention of taking a gamble.

"Grand Duke. Let's talk about that separately."

"No Your Majesty, the Emperor."

"Edwin Lowell Vikander!"

When the Emperor shouted with bloodshot eyes, the agate decoration on the armrests broke under his strength.

The Emperor lost his balance for a moment and stumbled. His hands reflexively grabbed the broken decoration. As if this decoration were the Grand Duke's mouth.

"I will say no."

But the Grand Duke spoke without hesitation. He shrugged his shoulders casually.

All the nobles in the banquet hall froze for a moment and looked at the Princess, the Emperor, and the Grand Duke. The gaze that was always full of respect and awe became mixed with impurities.

At that moment, the Emperor felt that the authority of the throne, which he thought was eternal, was slipping away from under his palm.

Something he had never thought of before became a reality. He could clearly feel the nobles' suspicions slowly clinging to his skin.

"Then, did Her Highness the Princess really report lies about her whereabouts? Why, for what?"

"That's true, but is this really a lie? Even the summer banquet is different from before. Nо way...?"

The person whose voice came from somewhere disappeared in an instant. But it was enough to ignite doubt.

Princess Reina is praised as a Saint and has always shown grace and noble devotion. One by one, her strong image began to show flaws.
