If it were revealed that the princess, once adored as a saint in the foreign envoy, was indeed an incompetent person who failed to fulfill the imperial decree…
A chill ran down her spine, and everything seemed to fade away before her eyes. Cold sweat streamed down her slender back. Even in imagination, the princess couldn’t endure all the accusations.
Unknowingly, she found herself clinging to Jade Madelayne with a frail voice.
“Sir! Think of Duke Madelayne. Don’t forget the pride of serving the royal family.”
It was a signal to please stop talking. As if hearing that earnest plea, Jade Madelayne closed his mouth for a moment.
Lifting her head, the princess stared intently.
What he was looking at was Olivia Madelayne. The residue of the red eyes that sparkled as if expressing interest remained in her memory.
When Jade Madelayne turned his head towards the princess again, he raised one side of his lips as if mocking.
A strange shiver ran through her.
The princess looked at Jade Madelayne, Olivia, and the Duke again without being able to breathe. It was when Jade Madelayne’s lips, which had sprouted like buds, were about to turn towards the princess’s tense lips.
“Sir Madelayne! How dare you slander the imperial princess without any evidence!”
It was Duke Elkin. Stepping forward and becoming the center of the banquet hall, he shouted at Jade Madelayne.
“Sir, you must take responsibility as you said. Duke Madelayne will not be able to escape the responsibility imposed on the family!”
At the same time, thunderous anger gripped the banquet hall.
“What’s going on again!”
It was the Emperor’s entrance.
“Your Majesty, they must be punished! How dare they take advantage of the princess’s kindness with such a trivial friendship!”
“Slander! We only spoke about the honor of sincerely welcoming the princess!”
“Enough—!”
A lion-like command enveloped the banquet hall. Everyone lowered their heads sharply in the face of the Emperor’s anger.
With furrowed brows, the Emperor, with veins pulsing on his forehead, looked down at the nobles below the platform. The princess, who should always be elegant and superior, was struggling in the center.
An unexpected incident occurred at the banquet. Why on earth were there rumors that the princess only stayed in the Duchy of Katangta without visiting the Duchy of Bikanter?
The Emperor, breathing heavily with a simmering rage, scanned everyone with a cold gaze.
The issue of the princess and the mining operation was a matter for later. The nobles had dared to challenge the authority of the princess and the imperial family, creating this turmoil.
And it was the second son of the Imperial family, Jade Madelayne, who had caused this disturbance.
The seething anger turned towards Jade Madelayne, and the Duke who couldn’t stop him. Amidst the nobles who couldn’t even make eye contact, the Duke stood out with his unusually red eyes.
The Emperor tightened his grip on the armrest of the throne. His teeth creaked, but he urgently needed to resolve the situation.
“…I don’t know why there’s such a commotion, but is it certain that the princess stayed in Katangta? Viscount.”
If it were a trembling deer, it could be easily dealt with. The banquet was over.
“Pfft.”
A small sound erupted in the quiet banquet hall.
It was undoubtedly laughter.
