I have two people here to help. Send a signal and I’ll take you there, so create a situation where I can confront the imposter. Coach pants.
[This is the time separator]Afterwards, Latil spent each day crossing off the calendar, waiting for the news that Tasir had finished preparing.
I keep hearing about Hyacinth here. Now it was harder to hear stories about Hyacinth.
In the past, it was enough just to resent him. But now I know that my brother’s scheme is in between, so my heart became more complicated.
Meanwhile, Aini still regularly visited Carlein, asking if he really didn’t know her.
Everything was so complicated that Latil wanted to return to the palace quickly. Go back and… Latil blinked.
Yesterday. I heard that the closest knight to Emperor Latrasil was exposed to have conspired with a black magician and was driven out. Probably Sonnaught.
I know that he is a skilled person who can safely survive, but if he does not quickly find his place, he will be in danger.
‘Does the chief know the truth? Is he helping Lean knowing it, or……?’
Then. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Latil sprang up.
‘Is it Carlein?’
He said he had somewhere to go and left for a while. Has he returned?
As Latil ran to the door and asked, “Who is it?” But when she happily opened the door, the person who came was the errand boy who Louise, the queen’s maid, often sent.
Three days ago. Louise had called Latil to choose a dress, and at that time, she sent this person, so she remembered his face.
“What is it?”
When Latil asked, the errand boy handed a large box to Latil.
“This is the dress that Louise wants to lend to Lady. It has been tailored to Lady’s size, so wear it well, and please return it after the party.”
Actually, when she asked what it was, Latil knew that the errand boy came to deliver the dress. It was obvious. The box brought by the errand boy was as big as Latil’s waist.
When the errand boy bowed and left, Latil brought the box into the room, opened the lid, and carefully examined the dress.
‘She might have pinned something inside.’
She would never have lent a dress out of goodwill. But even after carefully examining it for two hours, there were no pins in the dress.
There were no torn or torn parts, and the design was just as plain as Latil had chosen.
‘Did she really lend me a dress to apologize?’
Feeling awkward, Latil carefully spread the dress so that it wouldn’t get wrinkled and spread it well on the bed.
The festival party here was two days later. It would be nice if Tasir came before the party…
‘I think he’ll come after the party.’
[This is the time separator]As expected, two days later. The person sent by Tasir has not arrived yet, but the festival started first.
“I can’t believe I have to attend a party in another country at a time like this.”
Latil really didn’t want to attend this party in this form, but the story of a woman staying in a guest room as a guest of Hyacinth had already spread all over.
It was better to show her face once and calm her curiosity.
Carlein, wearing a white mask that covered twothirds of his face, asked,
“Did you warn Emperor Hyacinth properly?”
“Yes. I told him not to come near me at the party.”
Latil, while looking in the mirror, constantly kicked down the hem of her dress that kept rolling inward from the knee edge.
“If Hyacinth shows no interest in me throughout the party, the strange rumors will greatly diminish.”
“I will stay by your side, which will reduce the rumors even more.”
“Unless Empress Aini is next to you.”
“……”
“If Empress Aini comes closer and looks at me with those sad eyes again, then other rumors will start circulating.”
Even as it is, Empress Aini kept visiting here once a day, so not only rumors about ‘Sadi’ and Hyacinth but also rumors about Carlein and Aini were slowly spreading.
Although the power of the Duke prevented the rumors from spreading blatantly.
When Latil saw it, Carlein’s increasing absences due to other matters seemed to be to avoid Aini.
Since the Empress can’t refuse a meeting when she visits, he must be hiding somewhere else.
“Please stay close to me. That will be enough.”
“Okay. Let’s stick together.”
[This is the time separator]After promising with Carlein to stick together during the party and not give others a chance to misunderstand.
Latil deliberately entered the banquet hall when people were pouring in.
But despite her efforts, when the master of ceremonies introduced her and Carlein as ‘guests of Emperor Hyacinth’ as soon as they entered the banquet hall, all eyes turned to them.
Eyes full of malicious curiosity. The probing gazes looked at Latil and Carlein one by one, but Latil, pretending not to know, arm in arm with Carlein, walked to one side of the hall.
Fortunately, as promised, Hyacinth did not come to this side. Neither did Aini, probably because she was conscious of people’s attention.
About 30 minutes later, Latil relaxed a little and started to chat with Carlein.
‘I’ve come this far, so I should at least enjoy the food.’
But just when she let her guard down.
‘What?’
Someone walking past stepped hard on Latil’s hem. Not just stepped on, but stomped hard.
‘What’s this?’
Latil immediately moved aside. But it was no use. With just one forceful step, the hem of the skirt was ripped ‘tududuk’.
The dress that covered her ankles was shortened enough to reveal above her knees, and suddenly the surroundings quietened down.
Latil reflexively looked towards where Aini’s maids were gathered. Then, as expected, Louis, who was already watching her, smiled at Latil and raised her hand in a mean greeting.
‘Wow… is that it?’
Did she lend her the dress just to do this?
It was entirely possible, considering that Tasir had been eagerly studying to develop such a dress. Of course, Tasir had intended to wear it himself.
“So that’s how she seduced His Majesty Hyacinth.”
“How shameless. She’s blatantly showing her legs.”
“Everyone, look well! Those are the legs that ensnared His Majesty!”
At first, the surrounding nobles were surprised, but soon they began to snicker and make impudent remarks. Angered, Latil clenched her fist.
A surge of anger momentarily whitened her vision. She was so angry that she felt like something was seeping out of her head. Latil thought it was her rationality.
But just before Latil was completely consumed by anger.
“Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh!”
“It’s a monster!”
With a loud scream, a noble man and woman broke the window and rushed into the hall in terror.
As everyone’s eyes turned to them, Latil also looked in that direction, forgot her anger, and widened her eyes.
A woman in a white dress stained with blood here and there. But a woman who looked dead to anyone was entering the window with a large axe.
