“There’s no parent who can win over their child.”
In the end, Hugo could not steal the delicately held invitation from Evelia’s hand.
“Sigh…”
For receiving an invitation, for now being able to visit Louine’s house, for obtaining Louis’ father’s permission.
There would be no father in the world who could deny the wish of a daughter who preciously held a large invitation in her tiny hands, bouncing in anticipation.
Meanwhile, our young lady is going to the imperial palace with the master, so Vivian’s hands became busy after a long time.
“Our young lady, it’s been a long time since you’ve been to the palace, hasn’t it?”
“Yeah. I haven’t been there since I grew up!”
Vivian smiled faintly, lost in her memories.
“When you first went to the palace, I helped you dress up like this.”
“Hmm… I must have worn a yellow dress and a fur hat. I remember a bit.”
“It was a blue dress and it was spring, so you didn’t wear a fur hat.”
In maid Vivian’s perception, the imperial palace was a different world. Our naive young lady needed to be as splendid and beautiful as possible to become a star in that different world.
Evelia, completed by Vivian’s hands, looked much more noble than usual.
The purple dress, a symbol of dignity, only able to be worn by women of the rank of duke and above.
The golden hair spread over it resembled the starlight woven into the Milky Way.
The diamonds sewn into the hem of the dress allowed one to guess how great Hugo’s love contained in the dress was.
From Evelia, who had a water dropletshaped hairpin made of amethyst inserted, an innocent atmosphere similar to Elysia emanated.
“The shape of the hairpin is similar to a madeleine. I want to eat a madeleine.”
Vivian softly laughed and advised, breaking the atmosphere every time she opened her mouth.
“Our young lady, it would be best if you spoke as little as possible when you go to the palace.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The Crown Prince’s office.
Despite it only being eight in the morning, Ludwig was reviewing the documents that Emperor Karlail had processed yesterday in an undisturbed posture.
‘The number of missing people is quite high. Can this be a coincidence?’
The office, heavy despite its master still being a young boy, was messy due to the haphazardly piled up documents.
However, Ludwig hated anyone carelessly touching his room so much that the servants didn’t dare to think about cleaning it up, only brewing tea.
‘A survivor from the Forbidden Tower was found and immediately executed… They still existed.’
Ludwig, already extremely diligent and excellent, received praise as a born ruler.
Despite this, he was currently overly engrossed in work and training.
To be precise, it started the day after he signed the contract with his small friend.
Ludwig, who faced the world alone at a young age, knew well.
To guard the side of his precious friend, who would shine more than anyone in this empire and ascend to a high place, he needed to become a beacon that everyone could look up to.
Therefore, he was becoming an even more flawless lord of the empire.
Asking blankly like now wasn’t familiar even to Ludwig’s servants.
“…What did you say just now?”
“Princess Artina will be visiting the imperial palace today with the Duke.”
Eve is? Eve is coming?
Why on earth?
With a casual wave of his hand, Ludwig, who had bitten the servant, abruptly stood up from his seat.
In his haste to get up, an ink bottle on the desk fell over and soaked a few documents, but that didn’t matter right now.
‘If Eve comes to the palace, who will show her around the palace…’
Why is Eve coming, can I show Eve around the palace, Ludwig, who was about to run to the emperor’s office to ask, stopped as he was about to turn the doorknob.
He sneakily looked back.
The room, was dirty.
The documents, were messy.
‘Just in case the ground thief might come to look at my room.’
As Ludwig rang the bell a few times, the servants immediately came in.
“Clean up the room.”
It was the first time Ludwig had ordered his servants to touch his office.
The servants hid their confusion and wisely bowed their heads.
As the servants were about to touch the fallen piles of documents.
Ludwig, who was about to leave, hesitated once more and added a comment.
“……Clean and tidy. With dignity. As cool as the Crown Prince’s room.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The Emperor gladly allowed Ludovic’s plea to show Evelia around the Imperial Palace.
Why would he have sent an invitation to the princess, knowing that he would receive a suspicious look from Duke Artina?
It was all to help his son, who was like a subordinate.
In the Emperor’s view, his son seemed to think of Princess Artina as just a friend.
‘Who looks at a mere friend with such anxious eyes? No one knows how the relationship between the two will change as time goes on and they become adults.’
When the Princess was injured, wasn’t he restlessly like a puppy with its tail on fire?
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
