Regina’s eyes moved quickly.

“Oh my god.”

Especially Tasha Kimphri’s face, whom Regina had hoped to become close with, looked pitiful.

“That’s how it is.”

“I thought it was a lie.”

Clearly, lips that seemed to be saying so began to move briskly.

Beautiful eyes that twisted unpleasantly, centered around Lady Celestina, were like blades piercing Regina’s face.

Regina alternately looked at Dracoup Treloni, who had briefly separated from her at the entrance, and the Pale Prince couple heading towards the imperial seat where the emperor was.

“It’s unpleasant.”

“What?”

“Was your trust in this Regina Pellecese only to this extent?”

There was no trust.

The afterglow of being a Viscountess Pellecese.
Curiosity about Bolonico’s 1st Prince’s hidden lover. Intrigue about the unknown appearance of the Pale Prince, which nobody knew about. Other than that, what did Regina Pellecese have? If beauty, which anyone would turn back to look at once, was an advantage, there was no one to replace her. Right now, there was Aria Star, the top beauty of the Empire. Empress Marilin, even though she was the second, was someone whose name was mentioned as a beautiful lady who would make one feel sad. The young nobles of the great noble families were also overflowing with those who shone beautifully as much as they put in money and effort.

Therefore, the girls who were attached to Regina quickly realized that the glow of Viscountess Pellecese belonged not only to Regina but also to the Pale Empress, who was rising to the imperial seat.

Moreover, Bolonico, the 1st Prince, was not currently with Regina, and the rumored Pale Prince was already in front of everyone. So, there was no additional interesting story for Regina.

In short, they were in a situation where there was nothing to regret.

“Lady Regina is the one who threw away trust!”

“When you were excitedly shouting about the Pale Prince, why are you angry now that it’s different from the truth?”

“That’s right. If you feel wronged, prove it.”

Those who had nothing to say blabbered away…!

Regina quietly fumed with anger and, before she knew it, heard a voice submissive to the Pale Prince couple heading towards the imperial seat.

“Is there really such a monster in the world? I can’t believe the newspapers these days.”

“Probably because they’re afraid of the imperial family, you know. Taking care not to offend the imperial family, shaking in fear that they might be accused of rebellion for supporting the exiled aristocrats. They’re like cowards.”

“They said she’s the daughter of Viscount Pellecese? That Garrett Pellecese’s…? Ah, the predecessor. That makes sense.”

“Predecessor Philip Pellecese, I know him very well. He was a respectable figure.”

“She looks beautiful and calm. They make a good pair.”

“Where is the daughter of Garrett Pellecese?”

“There. In the back. I saw her earlier; she came with Viscount Treloni’s three sons-.”

“Treloni? Ah, that blockhead Viscount-.”

“Hush! I’m listening. Kick, kick.”

Regina clenched her trembling fist.

The dirty feeling that her fate with Yuan had changed flowed through her whole body, and she couldn’t bear it.

“I’m listening, Regina. If you have a mouth, try to explain.”

“I’ll prove it, so watch carefully.”

Girls who had always looked down on her, like Lady Celestina, sneered from afar, watching Regina, who was shaking, as if provoking her.

It was the limit.

“I will prove that my words are not lies. So, get ready to kneel and apologize in front of me when I prove it.”

“What? Kneel? How can you say such a thing in the world-.”

-Thump!

Regina pushed through the girls by hitting their shoulders directly and headed toward the place where the Pale Prince couple had finished greeting the emperor.
The Emperor looked down at the Pale Prince couple, invited by Bolonico, with a slightly disdainful gaze. In a space filled with innocent young girls, the ladies, half-baring their chests without any sense of shame, stood on both sides. Pale Empress, looking busy as if she didn’t know where to put her eyes, and Clad, with an emotionless face, both lowered their heads in front of him. Emperor Igor’s eyes were initially drawn to the entrance of Pale Prince Clad, filled with curiosity, but soon shifted to his son, who had brought them in. Bolonico’s proud and beautiful face sent a determined gaze, as if examining the Emperor’s reaction. The Emperor, smiling as if accepting a cute puppy’s prank, shifted his gaze to Clad, who stood straight by Bolonico.

“It’s been a while since I came home. Shouldn’t you pretend to look around or something?”

“…Home? That’s not appropriate.”

“My cute Bolonico couldn’t distinguish between work and personal matters and caused a commotion. He used to follow his cousin around like a puppy when he was young.”

The Emperor’s cute son wrinkled his face deeply. Emperor laughed heartily and then turned his gaze to Pale Empress, who had come to attend the belated debutante ball.

Indecent gossip that couldn’t be spoken out loud poured out among the women who surrounded the Emperor.

“Oh my, you’re so cute.”

“Why did Your Majesty sing the Pale Empress – the Pale Empress – it’s understandable, um. It seems that when you bite a certain part of the skin when you’re young -.”

As Yuan’s face turned red with embarrassment, they became more excited and raised their voices.

It wasn’t just rudeness directed at Yuan. It was rudeness directed at all the girls who greeted the Emperor and stamped their eyes.

Yuan tried his best to think of other things and waited for this time to pass, as the rudeness poured out.

“Coming a long way, and not feeling well inside. Should I step back first?”

When the torment spoken in words reached its peak,

Claude Yufreese looked straight at the Emperor and asked.
