People Aren't Meant to Be Fixed! (4 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 93

“A calamity, indeed. Then I must find a justifiable reason to confine Freyrie.”

This part was easy to calculate, but the next step posed a problem. Honestly, the only charge serious enough to imprison a duke’s daughter was treason—but ironically, the Vladimir family were meritorious nobles and close allies of the Imperial House.

Of course, accusations could always be fabricated, yet how could one possibly punish a family that had shown absolute loyalty to the Imperial clan, commanded large factions of followers, and once spearheaded the resolution of a major spy incident?

‘Wait a moment—confinement isn’t the only way to restrain someone.’

Without thinking, I turned my head and blankly stared at Poppy, then suddenly slapped my knee with a sharp “Thwack!” as an idea struck me.

“Ah!”

Sasha, seeing my face brighten, also looked relieved, his expression clearing instantly. Without hesitation, I immediately summoned a handmaiden.

“Is anyone out there?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Miranda, who answered that she had come alone because Hailey was watching the children in the next room, met my gaze with a gentle smile.

“Please ask Father to summon Duke Vladimir and Marquess Fleur.”

Now begins “Operation Restrain Freyrie!”

I chuckled inwardly, utterly confident this would work. Broadly speaking, I’d be saving the world from calamity; narrowly speaking, I’d be protecting Freyrie, who held the “Primordial Key” essential to my goal.

Honestly, even in prison, she could still attend to other matters. Judging from Sasha’s words, Freyrie was already pushing her powers to the brink of exhaustion without fully dissipating. If imprisoned, she could easily escape—perhaps by hypnotizing the guards or something similar.

However, should things truly take that turn, the Vladimir family would inevitably grow estranged from me, seeing it as a betrayal and insult to their lifelong loyalty, especially since I’d be falsely accusing their only daughter and causing her hardship. They might even incite rebellion alongside their loyalists, triggering a major internal conflict.
