Servants were always ready to bring whatever she wanted at her fingertips, and the food was of the highest quality to the point where everything she knew before felt like garbage.
Plus, the subtle envious glances from the servants!
‘There’s a reward for deliberately approaching the Duke.’
Walter promised Elodie the aura of Ertman in return for the deal, and he generously accepted whatever she did, as long as she did not cross the line.
And feeling such special treatment, the servants took a little more polite and cautious attitude, perhaps thinking of Elodie as Walter’s lover.
This feeling of truly becoming noble and special!
‘If I become the Duchess of Ertman, I can enjoy these things in the future.’
Of course, a man named Louis Clovis, who was quite a handsome target, appealed to her taste.
But it wasn’t comparable to the position of Duchess of Ertman and that level of beauty.
Duchess of Ertman.
How intoxicating was this word, which would have been unrealistic even a month ago.
Someone might still call it frivolous, but after staying at the Duke Ertman’s for a few days and assessing the situation, Elodie concluded that it was entirely possible.
‘Just need to knock out the competition.’
And these competitors were the two princesses currently rumored to be involved with Walter.
Since coming to the capital, it was not hard to hear that Walter wanted the princesses.
Even Ertman’s people often talked about Walter’s intentions.
No, rather, being inside Ertman made it even easier to access.
“Sir Russel, does His Grace really have his heart set on the princesses?”
“It must be a strategic marriage. Don’t you know him after all this time?”
“So he’s really going to marry?”
“Yes. He said he would.”
“Well, it’s about time for him to. So between the 3rd and 4th princesses, whom [dash]…”
“Hey. Seeing you so curious about unnecessary things, you must be feeling good these days? Let’s go back to the training ground.”
“Yyes, my apologies!”
Though critical information was hard to gather, it was clear that Walter was contemplating marriage.
And Elodie, with her unique insight, caught what the knights didn’t.
“By the way, Your Grace. Can I ask why I must tempt Count Clovis? It’s nothing much, but knowing will help me act!”
“You only need to do what you’re told. Are you too interested in unnecessary things? Or is acting that difficult for you?”
“……! No, of course not.”
If they were alone, Walter’s excessive coldness would have been a little tough.
But Elodie sneakily observed him until the end.
“Marriage partner of all things, it seems like an attempt to obstruct Count Clovis’s marriage, don’t you think? Could it be a ruse…?”
“Ha ha.”
Then, Elodie faced Walter, who was smiling instead of answering.
She realized for the first time that a gentle smile could look so cold and threatening.
And the fact that one could pressure another with just a look.
“Elodie Montuare. Soon you’ll make your debut, so here’s a piece of advice.”
He said, passing by Elodie.
“The one who knows the most and is the greediest dies first.”
Remember that.
Even that addendum.
It was a clear warning.
A warning not to try to know anymore.
But at the same time, it was an admission that Elodie’s reasoning was correct.
‘Really, Count Clovis is a ruse?!’
What Walter was planning was not a mere strategic marriage.
He really had one of the princesses in mind.
‘And…… it’s a situation that’s blocked because of Count Clovis?’
Then who among the two?
That famous 3rd Princess Lizeina?
Or the 4th Princess Odette, whom Walter admitted to having a secret meeting with?
Elodie had even considered paying to find out, but the question was unexpectedly answered.
On her debut day.
“The 4th Princess and Count Clovis are entering!”
At the Count of Xavier’s party, there was a person who appeared with Louis Clovis.
[This is a time separator.]“Nice to see you again, Your Highness. Do you remember? We met at the tea party last time…….”
“Who designed today’s dress? It’s really beautiful.”
“We are hosting a modest party at our mansion soon. If Your Highness would attend…….”
Amidst the myriad of intertwining words.
Odette stood with a stunned feeling.
It was the scene that unfolded as soon as she set foot in the hall of Xavier’s party, suppressing her nervous heart.
People crowding to talk to her, voices thrown in friendliness.
Louis, who entered with her, had already been pushed back by the crowd.
Thanks to that, Odette’s eyes were spinning.
‘This is my first time.’
Among the people who approached to talk, there was someone who had subtly mocked her when Odette had recently been going around social gatherings to clarify rumors under pressure from Queen Katarina.
And now this friendly reaction after just a few days?
‘It seems they’ve changed their attitude, thinking I might marry Duke Ertman.’
It was somewhat expected, but the response was much more blatant than she thought.
“Your Highness, do you remember me? I didn’t expect to see you here!”
As a rather intrusive man approached, Odette was unexpectedly startled and stepped back.
“I didn’t expect to be welcomed like this from the entrance.”
A firm touch on her back.
And a small whisper in her ear.
“You’ve grown up, Princess.”
It was…… Walter’s voice.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
