Duke Thorn's ability to take an action was tremendous. The Imperial Family was immediately notified regarding the annulment making the Grand Duke Peridot confused.

Juwell then decided to take this opportunity to solve the problem.

"Will you prepare my things before I go out?"

"Where to, milady?"

"I'm going to visit the Imperial Palace to see the Crown Prince."

Rune looked surprised by what she said, but still followed her without asking. She prepared a lot of fancy accessories.

"Stop, why are you preparing those?"

"You are going to visit the Crown Prince, the person milady loves the most. I have to dress you in the fanciest way."

She coughed.

'Love?' well, perhaps 'Juwell' has an unrequited love for the prince.

'Well, the Prince is a beautiful person, so it's not surprising that she fell in love with him.'

Beautiful. It was a word that expresses both the outside and the inside.

Prince Oppenheim is the most 'perfect' person she had ever met. In fact, during Estelle's days, she also admired Prince Oppenheim.

'If Radit didn't exist, I would have loved Prince Oppenheim instead.' She reflected on her past. Indeed, Prince Oppenheim was a great person.

"No, I don't want those. I want you to make me look as neat and tidy as possible."

"Milady?"

"Because I'm going to give my apologies."

Sudden notice of annulment would be really embarrassing and humiliating for the prince. That's why Juwell decided to meet him and apologize personally for the circumstance she
had done.

'Of course, I'm doing what Juwell wants. But I have another motive why I'm visiting the Imperial Palace.'

Later that day, Juwell came out of the building.

"Juwell." An unexpected voice called her name just before she was about to get on the carriage.

"Father."

Juwell frowned slightly. Her guts are telling her that he came to see her off for another matter.

"I heard from father that you intend to be a loyal Garnet?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Do you even know what that means?"

Viscount Enrique has a heavy face and Juwell guessed why her father was like that.

'Of course he hated the idea of me being loyal to the Garnet. He is the one who suffers the most from the selfish behavior of the Garnet family.'

Garnet's 'Loyalty'.

How many terrible things have the Garnet Family members had done as an excuse for that loyalty? They will do anything just for the sake of their own family only.

'I understand him. I also had a bad experience with the Garnet family's behavior in the past.'

I get the reason why Viscount Enrique reacted like that. Juwell respects Viscount Enrique's beliefs, but unfortunately, she had no intention of following it.

"Yes, I understand."

"Then think about it again. That's-"

"Father." Juwell sighed. "I have no intention of following father's beliefs. I will do what I want."
