Yuriecen, who had been the protagonist of the morning disturbance, could only meet Edna and Yeriel after 10 o’clock.

“What’s this? You’re so late.”

“We waited and even nodded off.”

Edna and Yeriel complained. In reality, their unexpected visit in the early morning itself violated courtesy, but Yuriecen didn’t question this mistake. The reason was simple; Edna and Yeriel brought an invitation to a party hosted by Lady Steibain.

Actually, Yuriecen had thought of just sending Edna and Yeriel away today. However, Benjamin stopped her.

“[It’s good for you to attend Lady Steibain’s party. It’s a gathering where not only socialites but also key figures from the political scene gather.]”

[You can get an invitation through other routes. You don’t have to go with them.] [But in the end, you have to go to the party and face people. And, above all, if it’s them, there’s no guilt in using and discarding.]

Yuriecen was about to retort that there couldn’t be no guilt in using and discarding, but she closed her mouth. In any case, it was a severed tie. Just as they used Windsor for their insatiable desires so far, Yuriecen was using them.

[Lady Steibain’s son, Eidsik, is engaged to Miss Calypso.]

Adelman was the only one who didn’t know this publicly known fact. Edna, who hid this fact saying it would be an amusing sight, was no exception, but Steibain Eidsik, who didn’t have any intention of coming out from under his mother’s skirt, was not that good-hearted.

[I’m sure the highlight of this party will be seeing what expression Adel makes in the middle of them. But Adel is already gone from this world.]

It hasn’t been revealed yet. If the cause of Adel’s death and who discovered it were revealed, Greta would concentrate on monitoring Benjamin, and then it would be difficult to find Greta’s vulnerability. However, if Yuriecen didn’t attend this party, there would undoubtedly be people curious about it.

‘It’s sad that it’s been a long time since Adel disappeared, and still, no one is looking for Adel.’

Even Edna and Yeriel, who were facing Yuriecen right now, were pretending not to know anything about Adel, as if they had never known Adel. This was also in line with the scenario predicted by Benjamin.

Bitterly, Benjamin, who seemed somewhat resigned, spoke.

[So, we’ll be the next entertainment.]

The Prince who came out of the temple but still had no strength, and Lady Windsor, whose reputation had fallen due to repeated rumors.

Moreover, Lady Windsor, who indulged in extramarital affairs with the adopted brother of her younger sister and chased after that Prince to the imperial palace.

[A perfect story to enjoy with appetizers. Even without alcohol.] [Yeah. So we need to prepare our own way.] [In other words, are you saying you’ll use Edna and Yeriel as shields?] Yuriecen already knew that Edna and Yeriel had their eyes on Benjamin. Moreover, she was aware that these women were more enticed by the sweet treats in front of them than their political standing, and they had a strong desire for trophies.

“[It would be a waste just to use them as shields. They are the offspring of a Marquis and a Viscount. They will undoubtedly serve as sufficient swords for us.]”

Benjamin persuaded Yuriecen in this way. Of course, Benjamin’s expression, urging Yuriecen to get closer to these not-so-friendly individuals, was not entirely bright. In fact, he didn’t want to say such things, and he didn’t want to create a situation where Yuriecen had to endure.

However, now that Greta’s affiliation with the Heben faith had been revealed, Yuriecen knew it wasn’t the time to hide.

Sigh…

Yuriecen cleared her mind and softened her expression. Then she brought up the story that would catch their interest.

“Sorry. I was with His Highness the Prince last night.”

With a very provocative scent.

“Oh, really? Did His Highness the Prince and Lady Windsor express their intention to attend the party?”

“Yes, today, I stopped by Windsor House in the town to get a definite answer.”

Edna spoke elegantly while taking a sip of tea. It seemed very peaceful behavior. However, in the mind of Lady Steibain, who was putting on a friendly face and a soft smile in front of people, things were much more complicated.

‘Recently, there is no one who doesn’t know the rumors about the Prince and Lady Windsor around.’

For the past few days, wherever one went, the only topic was these two. From rumors that the Prince had no thoughts to Yuriecen’s gloomy fortune-telling, everything was discussed. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that they were the hottest topic not only in the political scene but also in the social scene.

‘Are they coming to my party?’
