“That’s quite a convoluted way of putting it.”
As Patricia scoffed, her voice, tinged with anger, remained low.
The reason behind the lawyers supporting Lexion’s cause, even going so far as to file a lawsuit, would ultimately be one.
“In the end, it means proving once again that I am a member of the royal family. Isn’t that right, Count?”
Concealing the existence of the royal seal wasn’t just a move for the benefit of Count Grotuk; it was a simple mistake. To say so, she had to prove that she was acting as a member of the royal family for the benefit of the empire.
For someone like Patricia, who had given birth to the Emperor’s child and been incorporated into the royal family, there was only one thing she could do.
“They’ll probably drag Claude into court again, claiming to prove his status as a member of the royal family through a blood test. What wrong has the child possibly done…”
Count Grotuk nodded sympathetically, as if acknowledging the injustice.
“If our family had been a bit stronger, we wouldn’t have faced such a tragedy again. It seems that the Lexion people have no idea what they’re doing, let alone installing.”
In the first place, suing the nobility was meaningless. Nobles were exempt from receiving a death sentence.
As Patricia, who was venting her frustration, suddenly stopped, a thoughtful expression crossed her face. While Lexion’s people were prone to bickering for the same reasons day after day, there was a subtle timing to it.
“Are they aiming for something else?”
Feeling a bit uneasy, Patricia deliberately suppressed her anger. In such a situation, she needed to maintain composure more than ever.
“If it’s a paternity test through blood, we’ve already done it a couple of times. See if there’s anything beyond the results from that time.”
“We’ll do that.”
“Gilbert, if that foolish man hadn’t made such a stupid mistake…”
“It’s my fault for not managing Gilbert well.”
“I know, so go back. Let me know as soon as you find Rojaline.”
Count Grotuk deeply bowed his head and quickly retreated. He knew it would be better not to be around when Patricia, whose nerves had become extremely sensitive, was like this.
Meanwhile, a few steps behind them, Elizabeth, with a gentle smile, joined the conversation.
“Your Highness, would you like me to bring you a refreshing lemon tea for a change of mood?”
Honey-infused refreshing lemon tea was Patricia’s favorite drink. Just hearing the suggestion seemed to slightly ease her anger, and she nodded.
“I’d appreciate a cup. It’s the best for calming a stuffy heart. After that…”
Patricia turned her head to look in the direction of the infirmary.
“Why don’t we directly ask Lexion’s little madam why they can’t seem to catch and subdue me?”
On the other hand, the atmosphere in the infirmary was once again harmonious today.
“Stacking the gauze like this makes it easier to pick up one sheet at a time. It looks clean too.”
Sion was quite pleased with Edit’s devised method of organizing gauze.
It required no special skills, just stacking the corners of the folded gauze squares slightly askew, and Sion appreciated that it could be implemented immediately.
In fact, Edit didn’t intend to organize the gauze in a new way. At the clinic where she used to work, it was customary to stack the gauze with corners slightly askew.
“So, I just did it the way I’m used to.”
It seemed that the infirmary, which served the nobility, had been organizing gauze neatly, creating a sense of order.
However, in situations like now, where the Emperor’s summons were frequent, a more practical method of organization would be useful.
“It’s nothing special, but thanks for appreciating.”
Edit smiled lightly and began placing herbs in the teapot one by one.
Although it was enjoyable to occasionally chat with the palace attendants in the infirmary, she knew it was unnecessary to provoke Patricia by staying too long.
Watching her move efficiently without wasting any time, the attendants in the infirmary smiled contentedly.
And Patricia observed that strange scene from outside the window.
“There seems to be a strange favor in the eyes of the attendants.”
Those she knew among the attendants always complained of headaches while checking the Emperor’s health dozens of times a day. It was only natural that their nerves became sensitive.
So, sending Edit here to cause trouble was her intention.
Edit had seamlessly integrated into the infirmary as if she had worked here for about ten years, naturally earning praises from the attendants.
“What is this…”
Already agitated by the noble’s lawsuit, Patricia felt her patience wearing thin.
“Edit. I’m sorry it seems like you’re enjoying social time, but can you hurry? I have a severe headache, and I can’t stand it.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

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.]
