“So, isn’t that what His Majesty just said? During the oneyear reprieve, either return the first princess to her place or raise the second princess as the crown princess.”
“So that’s what it comes down to.”
“No. Will you really offer the second princess, Duke? Your precious daughter?”
“Will the first princess who has accepted the Duke’s proposal come back then?”
“We don’t know. We all know how much the first princess liked the crown prince.”
The whispering voices grew louder, and it was only then that the Emperor slammed the table with his fist.
Bang with the sound, the meeting room became as quiet as if cold water had been poured over it.
“Everyone is noisy. That’s enough for today’s meeting. You all may leave.”
The Emperor’s eyebrows wriggled. All the nobles, not divided between the Emperor’s party and the aristocratic party, left the meeting room, except for one person, Giovanni Madelleine, the Duke.
“…… What are you doing without leaving, Duke?”
Knowing this would happen, the Emperor spoke to the Duke with a deliberately indifferent face. The Duke reluctantly loosened his stiff lips and spoke to the Emperor.
“Your Majesty, please reconsider the oneyear reprieve.”
“What is there to reconsider? Hasn’t this already been discussed at the meeting?”
“Fourteen years ago, didn’t you also not end the conversation we had then?”
The Duke’s voice dropped icicles. The Emperor frowned and glared at the Duke.
“Duke! What is that reckless expression towards me!”
“…… I apologize, Your Majesty. But please keep your promise of loyalty to Madelleine. Surely you said that my second daughter would be excluded from the candidates for the crown princess.”
However, the Emperor himself knew best that the Duke’s expression would not relax as it was.
“…… It’s Madelleine’s bloodline. If you accept her as the crown princess, Madelleine’s loyalty will continue to follow you faithfully.”
The Emperor nodded slowly. He had certainly promised the Duke.
“…… That’s right. But what can I do? The situation has changed.”
“Your Majesty!”
“So you should have managed your daughter well, Duke.”
The Emperor spoke indifferently. The Duke bowed his head. Under that bowed head was undoubtedly an expression full of anger. But instead of rebuking that recklessness, the Emperor spoke of something productive.
“How could the crown prince’s fiancée accept the Duke’s proposal? Even if I don’t want to talk about it, I can’t help this shameful thing.”
“…….”
“My word. Is it possible, Duke? That the fiancée of the crown prince, who will lead this Franz, accepted the Duke’s proposal.”
The Emperor chuckled, blinking his eyes.
The illfated relationship with Duke Vicander continued even to his son. It was a ridiculous thing.
However, Levanfell could not let his battle plans be tread upon. He had to trample the duke in a better way. The more hopeless it would be for the duke to recover, the better.
So the emperor smiled mercifully at the duke.
“……I don’t want to break my promise with the duke either. I know well how much the duke cherishes his second daughter.”
“…….”
“I’m giving you another chance now. I’m even delaying the wish granted by the emperor’s command.”
The force in the duke’s shoulders began to loosen little by little. At that moment, the emperor’s eyes met the duke’s, containing a warning.
“So, Duke. Don’t disappoint me. If you have time like this, it would be better to talk to the first princess before the meeting tomorrow.”
“……I will obey, Your Majesty.”
The duke, with his stiff face, bowed to the emperor. The emperor generously nodded his head. And when the duke left the conference room, the emperor let out a loud laugh.
“Hahaha. How can things turn out this pleasantly?”
Perhaps the nobles who had just left were already spreading the word. If the rumors grew legs, surely something amusing would happen.
A year of respite.
Coating it with nice words to clarify the succession of the woman who had been in a marital relationship with the imperial family, but in reality, it was no different from tormenting the woman’s chastity.
Olivia Madelleine had been engaged to the crown prince for eleven years. It was stranger that the story hadn’t come out.
A new scandal for the muchscandalized princess. If she came to Levanfell’s side, the princess would surely remain beside the duke, and he became quite curious.
“……Chamberlain.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The previously standing chamberlain approached the emperor.
The corner of the emperor’s mouth rose.
“Write a letter to the duke. We have to let him know about the meeting, at least.”
“I’ll send someone right away,”
“No.”
At the slow laughter in his words, the chamberlain bowed his head. The emperor’s eyes went cold.
“Take your time. Tomorrow, about an hour before the meeting starts, would be good.”
That time was difficult enough to properly attend the meeting, but the chamberlain did not object.
With an obvious acknowledgment, the emperor smiled cruelly, as if wishing someone’s ruin.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
