Chapter 19
Indeed, what Grand Tutor Etvo said was correct!
Queen Yuuko had assumed that Grand Tutor Etvo would not discover Rozenbach's true gender. After all, Rozenbach's disguise was not accomplished by the shroud of magic and potions but by mere make-up alone.
To learn that Grand Tutor Etvo's discerning eye was at this level... was terrifying!
Even though Queen Yuuko was one of Grand Tutor's students and a talented painter, she had not discovered Rozenbach's true gender until she accidentally spotted the oddity on Rozenbach's chest when he fainted.
"Teacher Etvo, please forgive us! I never meant to lie to you! Please listen to our explanation!" Queen Yuuko immediately knelt down and pleaded.
Grand Tutor Etvo stared at Queen Yuuko in what seemed to be an eternity before dismissing all servants in the hall. "Cookie and the demi-cat, leave us."
The feeble Tea Cake wanted to stay and protect her young master, but Lord Cookie easily picked her up in her cat form and left the hall without delay.
"Speak."
"Thank you for your grace, Teacher!" Queen Yuuko said with gratitude before explaining. "This... young man disguised himself because his elder sister had run away. With King Sigil's imperial decree, he had no choice but to disguise as Lady Rosaline to protect his family's lives."
Grand Tutor retracted her terrifying, pressuring aura, freeing Rozenbach and Queen Yuuko from the weight forcing them down. She looked at Rozenbach up and down in disapproval.
"Do you not know the consequences of lying to royalty?"
Of course, Rozenbach knew the possible consequences! When he transmigrated into this body, the crazy plan had already begun! After that, Grace had threatened him into going along with the crazy plan!
"Teacher Etvo, we are currently searching for Lady Rosaline to make the switch before the wedding takes place."
Grand Tutor stared at Queen Yuuko with a raised eyebrow. "Why would you risk your neck for a mere stranger?"
"This..." Queen Yuuko looked embarrassed. "I do not know why, but I do not want him to be harmed."
"To protect a beauty," Grand Tutor easily figured out Queen Yuuko's true desire. "His beauty is enough to cause chaos. Beautiful people like him should never be a good choice to enter the royal family."
"Teacher, please have some leniency!" Queen Yuuko pleaded.
"If I didn't, I would have killed him already."
"Thank you, Teacher Etvo!" Relief could be heard from Queen Yuuko's words. Once Grand Tutor gave her word, she never took them back.
"I suppose I'm to be blamed for forcing Sigil to marry a new wife. He nearly succeeded in running away," Grand Tutor sighed.
Queen Yuuko was surprised. "King Sigil wants to run away? But..." She turned to look at Rozenbach. She had seen the adoration in King Sigil's eyes for Rozenbach earlier.
"He would have successfully run away had he not met this youth. His beauty is enough to entrap Sigil's heart."
Rozenbach gulped. How did she know that Rozenbach had met the King when he was in the middle of running away? Did perhaps someone tell her about it? Or that... she had spies all around here?!
