Around that time, Yurisien, who explained the situation to Urgen and Daisy, was scolded by the two.

“Why did you make such a decision without any consultation?”

“Really, SouthHood. It was too dangerous, even if you were with the Crown Prince!”

“We know that you two are going to get married, but spreading rumors that you went to the inn before that would not be good at all!”

“It won’t do. We need to prepare for the wedding as soon as possible!”

Perhaps in this world, the words of a duke and a maid communicated so well. Yurisien looked a bit surprised at the two and then shook her head.

“Right now, my reputation is not important.”

“Why do you think it’s not important? You are the great Windsor. Marriage is just a means for the great Windsor. It’s not the end of life. Reputation will follow you throughout your life.”

Urgen, who had already decided to give up the position of Duke to Yurisien, spoke as if he were peeling off a husk. Then, as if to fix her thoughts, he added that if Yurisien really had such thoughts, he would correct her, reaching out to her with his arms.

Daisy, who had never lost her self-esteem no matter the situation as the great Windsor’s lady, was also disappointed. She admired Yurisien for being unwavering in any situation.

“Marriage will only bring more problems. Then, instead of being the great Windsor’s lady, you’ll become the great Windsor’s duchess, and following the Prince’s wife, you’ll become the mother of the Soljareon Empire!”

What happened today would be fatal not only for Yurisien but also for Benjamin. What were they thinking, and why did they cause such trouble? Urgen and Daisy questioned Yurisien.

Yurisien pressed her temple, slightly irritated.

“It’s not like that….”

Before she could explain, a disturbance broke out outside without waiting for that brief moment.

“I can’t come out right now, the shame of the whole world! I, who should be praised by the people of the Soljareon Empire for putting up with you, who should be hailed as the shame of the Soljareon Empire, came out because I couldn’t bear it!”

Hyscliff roared loudly. The sound was quite annoying, but at least for now, it seemed to support Urgen and Daisy.

“Now look. In this situation where there may or may not be an advantage even in the midst of being so perfect, you have exposed your weaknesses.”

Urgen said, clenching his fist with his sleeves rolled up. Yurisien looked at Urgen with a slightly puzzled expression.

‘Really, he doesn’t think like that.’

If Urgen had really taken Hyscliff’s words to heart, he would have sent knights earlier to shut his mouth.

But seeing Hyscliff being left alone to make noise, it was clear that he knew that threats and investigations alone would not be enough to undermine Yurisien or leave a scratch.

‘Just telling me to reflect while leaving it like this.’

That Yurisien knew about Urgen’s inner thoughts like that was also something Urgen must have already known. Everything Urgen had aggressively pinned on Yurisien from earlier was all just a joke. In other words, it was a Windsor-style joke about nobility.

To make a joke about a prince’s loud voice, it would be unimaginable for any other noble, but it was possible because it was Windsor.

“But ah, it’s really loud.”

Seeing the Duke and Lady of Windsor like this, Daisy furrowed her brows. In this world, there would be no one else who could talk so calmly about a raging prince.

“Do you know, Your Highness? Shouting like that is not only showing Windsor’s shame but also spitting on your own face. To lie that you’ve saved someone you haven’t even asked for, to break up after being caught lying, and to say you suffered so much, damn it…”
Daisy muttered beyond the window. Whether she thought it was enough to speak sharply to Yurisien or not, the arrow headed straight for Hyscliff.

“I am marrying Prince Hyscliff because he is my brother. Anderson said that there is no one in the Soljareon Empire who doesn’t know about this situation.”

“Then, Your Highness, aren’t you making yourself look bad? Everyone knows that you are not marrying the Crown Prince just because he is your brother but because he saved the lady. In other words, it’s clear that you’ve been deceiving everyone, knowing that your brother saved the lady.”

Listening to Yurisien’s story, Daisy tilted her head in confusion.

“Anyway, something has happened. Miss, what will you do?”

It returned to the continuation of the previous question. Yurisien, who had said that her reputation was not important, had an expression that believed she would have a good idea.

To those two, Yurisien lowered the hand that had been pressing on her temple and opened her mouth.

“I’ll say it again; my reputation is not important now. Reputation is never eternal. It goes up and down.”

“But the great Windsor has always ruled at the top.”

Urgen did not yield a word. If he had a proper thought, it meant he wanted her to speak.

“Anyway, my reputation will continue to decline. The forces trying to establish Hyscliff as the emperor are still strong. Greta, the empress, is flourishing.”
