The Emperor’s eyes darkened for a moment as he paused in his speech. When suspicion arose over his sunken eyes, the Emperor continued.
“…No, bring the documents about the Baeksoojeong Mine.”
He could no longer trust the princess. The Emperor’s eyes became sharp as needles.
Imperial Garden of the Imperial Palace.
As the majestic palace gates opened, the Duke revealed himself. Winstar, who was anxiously observing the inside, rushed to the Duke as soon as the gates opened.
“Did you end the meeting well?”
“Well, you don’t have to worry. Calder, did I perhaps overturn the table?”
A carefree response was given as if waiting for it.
Winstar could stake half of his fortune on the fact that it overturned the Emperor’s insides, not the table. However, he couldn’t say such a thing in front of his lord.
Meanwhile, the Duke, looking at the carriage, spoke.
“What about my lady?”
“Oh, my lady is still—”
Winstar’s face contorted as he answered absentmindedly, glancing at the direction of the princess’s palace.
Ah. Following Winstar’s gaze, the Duke, with a slow smile, chuckled. Conrad Madelaine. As he walked towards them with a gloomy face, he seemed to notice the Duke for a moment, and his eyes widened briefly.
Confirming that face, the Duke laughed slowly, facing Winstar.
“Even if you can’t stand the sight, you’ve seen it, right? Why do you frown like that?”
“Oh, I apologize. When I see those purple eyes, I feel nauseous.”
“Is that eye color discrimination?”
“Well, you said it’s okay to discriminate against purple eyes on silver hair.”
Edwin laughed, clinking his tongue at Winstar’s answer. Although her beautiful face looked villainous when she laughed badly, Winstar swallowed the words.
Meanwhile, Conrad, who had come closer, bowed his head.
“…I greet the great hero, Your Grace.”
“Hmm, your attitude has become polite. Viscount.”
In a teasing tone, Edwin spoke, but Conrad couldn’t say anything.
I thought of Olivia the entire time. To be precise, six-year-old Olivia. And I thought about what could possibly be wrong with that child within my jurisdiction.
There was nothing wrong left in the sifted places. Nothing but the image of Olivia, who looked at us with pitiful eyes.
A sharp pang of guilt passed through the innermost part of Conrad. He gritted his teeth. There was probably something he should ask the Duke about, but no words came out, as if he had smeared a lip balm on his lips.
“Tsk. It would have been better if there was no business. Are you the practical team for negotiations with Heperti, Viscount?”
Negotiations. Conrad raised his head at the words. Even the Duke’s sarcastic expression that didn’t seem to like it was welcome.
“Yes, Your Grace. I…,”
For the first time in his life, Conrad stammered.
The Duke, who was watching Conrad, smiled with a red sneer on his lips.
“It seems like the younger siblings have prepared quite well. Viscount Sokongjak looks pitiful just as he is.”
“What? What is that…?”
“Of course, I don’t need to explain, right? Then, Sokongjak, can you please disappear from this path with your unpleasant colleague over there?”
It was a rude remark. If it weren’t for the following words, anger would have surged.
“When my lady is coming, I can’t let her see unpleasant faces one by one, can I?”
At those words, Conrad turned around with an expressionless face. In the distance, a carriage with the Vycander emblem was approaching, and behind him, he saw his father.
There was only one decision Conrad could make there.
“…What did you say?”
At that moment, the Emperor doubted his ears.
“Say it again, Chamberlain!”
“T-that.”
Chamberlain closed his eyes tightly and reported again.
“Other than the records in the preserved document room, the documents related to the Baeksoojeong Mine have already been transferred to Lady Madelaine. Your Majesty.”
Thud. His heart sank heavily. The Emperor staggered for a moment. The sight in front of him blurred into the distance. He couldn’t even breathe properly.
Your Majesty! When Chamberlain’s voice calling him became more distant. The Emperor clenched his fist.
Ah. Thinking about the expression of the Duke that had completely slipped through his fingers, the Emperor realized the nature of the discomfort he felt earlier.
An indifferent and leisurely attitude, as if he had the upper hand despite the unfavorable situation.
“…Princess.”
It was the emotion he felt on the day he looked at her last. Princess of Lowell.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
