Even if he were to ask forgiveness from the Etel Marquisate and imprison them, even if he were to quickly marry off his daughter to another place, the diplomatic envoy from another country had already witnessed this ridiculous scene.
The future path of the prince who would become the emperor, the position of the princess in high society, and the entire Franz Empire would have seemed ridiculous.
“Just how did it come to this disgraceful state!”
The furious emperor grumbled.
For the first time, the insecure princess’s body tensed. The emperor, feeling an uneasy premonition, furrowed one eyebrow.
“From tomorrow, what plans do we have to address this immediately?”
“W-Well…”
The face of the princess, unsure of what to do, touched the emperor’s sensitivity. No way. However, the emperor soon lowered his head. Even so, the princess had resolved countless matters until now.
The thought of borrowing someone’s hand was nothing but speculation.
The thought of borrowing someone’s hand was just a speculation.
Immediately pressing the princess had no benefit. The Emperor, as if disliking the sight, turned away from the princess and said, “Starting from tomorrow, the Empress will be in charge.”
“Yes?”
“Your Majesty!”
Although the shocked princess shouted loudly, the Emperor barely held back his anger and did not even look at her.
As if on cue, a courtier entered with a knocking sound.
“Duke Elkin is requesting an audience.”
“…Let him in. Empress, step back with the princess. After this banquet, the princess will be ordered to reflect, so be cautious, very cautious.”
A stern command was issued.
As if the world was collapsing, the princess’s body slowly crumbled.
“……The Marquis, uh.”
“I have confined them to the mansion. I wanted to include the noblewoman as well, but…”
Duke Elkin seemed to struggle with his words. The Emperor felt a surge of heat before his eyes.
The impudent woman who dared to ridicule Franz is now protected in the peaceful palace of the prince.
Moreover, the lady who rejected the prince twice today has entered the Grand Residence safely.
“Ugh.”
The Emperor let out a disappointed breath. The flow of his thoughts naturally criticized his son. Even though he was young, he should consider his position.
Failing to control a woman in a public place and causing disgrace to another country twice.
“Why didn’t Duke Madeleine even do anything!”
His annoyance swelled elsewhere. If Duke Madeleine had managed his daughter well, there would have been no such disgrace. Duke Elkin nodded in agreement.
They had to somehow overcome this disgrace.
In an instant, the Emperor’s eyes flashed.
Since the engagement ceremony caused the problem, the only way to cover it up was with an even grander engagement ceremony.
“Tomorrow.”
The Emperor spoke firmly.
“Before the banquet, invite the Duke to the imperial dinner.”
There was still the Baeksoo Mine. The last remaining noose should be used at times like this.
“Mother, what should I do if Her Majesty finds out everything? Olivia, rejecting my brother, everyone saw it!”
In the reception room of the Empress’s palace.
The princess, shedding pitiful tears, finally buried her face in her hands. Sobbing sounds accompanied the tears that dropped heavily to the floor.
Seeing that sight, the Empress, who had been watching, couldn’t hold back her hastened breath.
Such a disgrace to my proud son and daughter. The words of my grandfather saying there would be no connection with my family were unfortunate but fortunate.
Both Etel Marquisate and Maria Etel would not let this pass. The anger, blazing crimson, reached Olivia, who rejected my son.
“How dare she without knowing her place.”
A burst of anger erupted from her lips.
In front of everyone, Olivia had to bear the punishment. Suppressing her anger, the Empress, with repressed wrath, said to the court lady, “Has there been any news from the envoy sent to Bicandelle?”
“I apologize, Your Majesty. There is no news from there, but instead…”
With a frustrated expression, the chief court lady leaned towards the empress and whispered. The empress’s face turned pale as she listened to the words with a sharp tone.
“Is that true?”
“Yes. It’s said that a lady-in-waiting assigned to the princess reported that the princess exchanged letters with a foreign man, even using a pseudonym!”
It was as Olivia had predicted.
The media might have been blocked, but the mouths of high society couldn’t be silenced. Starting the next day, invitations to a tea party at the Imperial Palace arrived at the residences of noblewomen.
Beneath the polite letters, the curiosity of the nobles wondering about the ‘Marquis of Madeleine’ who rejected the prince twice was hidden.
Although she rejected all the letters, there was one she couldn’t refuse.
A tea party invitation from the empress. At the bottom of the letter sent to everyone was a postscript written only to Olivia.
[Dash] Let the little lady of Madeleine attend, too. It would be good if the lady also attended.It was a cunning move to take Esella as a hostage. However, Olivia decided to overlook it for now.
The carriage she was on came to a complete stop. Olivia looked outside the carriage. The princess’s palace, where Olivia had always been in charge of preparations, greeted her with a somewhat chaotic atmosphere.
Suddenly, Edwin’s last words from a while ago came to mind.
“You don’t have to go. Olivia.”
Perhaps Edwin knew that a single word like that would be more reassuring. Olivia smiled and stepped out of the open door of the carriage.
As if waiting, a courtier guided her. In front of the door of the reception room, the courtier shouted inside.
“Lady Olivia Madeleine has arrived.”
When the door opened, a splendid reception room, already occupied by arriving noble ladies and maids, could be seen. Esella, sitting near the head, narrowed her eyes. It was a face that seemed to say she didn’t expect Olivia to come.
At the very top, sitting in the honored seat, the beautiful empress smiled brightly.
“It’s been a long time since we exchanged greetings up close like this, Lady.”
The empress’s cheerful voice felt chilling like a snake. Olivia silently looked at the empress.
Beneath the elegant demeanor, beneath the unsmiling eyes, Olivia, who had always shrunk away, took a silent breath. Then, with perfect etiquette, she spoke.
“Honor to the moon of the empire. I greet Empress Your Majesty.”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
