‘Something that would interest even those in remote areas… either a scandal or something shocking.’
Whitney sighed heavily, leaning against the wall.
Neither option was easy. She needed to find another way, but nothing came to mind. For now, she had placed an order with an information broker to find a trustworthy butler. She needed someone to support her until she reclaimed the ducal mansion.
Knock, knock, knock.
Startled, Whitney hastily hid her book under the covers. It was rare to hear a pre-emptive knock in the ducal mansion.
“Lady Orleans, it’s Rael. A letter has arrived for you.”
“A letter?”
She opened the door abruptly, surprising Rael, who handed her the letter.
‘Libenia petals!’
A letter from Prince Cheston to her.
Surprised, Whitney’s eyes widened. She quickly composed herself, sent Rael away, and closed the door. If it became known she was connected to Prince Cheston and the royal knight, her life would become exceedingly tiresome.
If the queen found out, Whitney’s life would also be in peril without any preparations. She lightly touched her throat and swallowed hard.
The inclusion of the petal indicated that the herb had been verified. Though the user of the herb remained unknown, their close connection was evident.
Carefully, Whitney opened the letter.
[Lady Orleans,It seems you’re facing troubles in the ducal mansion. It’s hard to trust whether you are reliable or not, so I propose an idea.
You’re about to debut in society. Become the brightest star there and earn the queen’s recognition.
We’ll talk again after that.
P.S. If you need a guardian, let me know.]
Earn the queen’s recognition? And an offer to help if she needed a guardian?
Whitney lit a candle and burned the letter. She knew not to leave any trace of their correspondence.
She opened the window for ventilation and pondered the implications of Prince Cheston’s words.
To earn recognition from the queen at the debutante ball, Whitney needed to be the brightest star. Reflecting on those who had been stars in previous years, they were nobles acknowledged by well-known guardians. Moreover, most of them were the queen’s people, or else they had to receive guardianship from a noble with influence in the kingdom.
The status of the Orleans duchy under Cecilia, since Whitney’s father’s passing, had diminished.
‘Attending all sorts of social events, it’d be a miracle not to hear that we lack grace.’
The case with Melissa was telling. Despite receiving invitations, they were not from particularly powerful houses. Whitney had no intention of seeking help from her stepmother Cecilia.
It might even be more of a hindrance.
Whitney’s thoughts circled back to Prince Cheston’s postscript. Without a guardian, it was an impossible task. Should she seek his help? But how could he arrange a guardian for her?
It was out of the question for Prince Cheston to become her guardian.
As Whitney gazed out the window, organizing her thoughts, her eyes widened.
A carriage stopped in front of the ducal mansion. Instinctively, Whitney knew it was a visitor for her. She immediately went downstairs.
Cecilia’s face was contorted, and Melissa nervously bit her lip. A woman of elegant demeanor stood, lifting her head to look at Whitney, who had just come down from the second floor, and spoke.
“Madam Rubenius sent me. She has requested Whitney Orleans to accompany me.”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
