“Yeah, I thought I was wrong at first, but no matter how you look at it, it seems to be silk woven with gold, right?”
“It’s strange. The two of you receiving such identical handkerchiefs…”
They noticed that something was strange, and they alternately stared at the three people. Lina clenched her fist at the ladies’ murmurs.
If they investigate a little, they might realize that she made the Second Prince’s handkerchief too.
No, even if they don’t find out, since the two already have handkerchiefs made of golden silk, there was no doubt that ridiculous rumors would spread.
Tsk.
As Lina saw the faces of the women sparkling like animals that had found their prey, she inwardly clicked her tongue. Just then, the Second Prince broke the awkward silence.
“Well then, Duke. I hope you enjoy the hunt.”
Booong.
With Bliteus’s words, the ringing sound signaled the start of the hunting competition. In response, men, one by one, moved towards the hunting grounds.
Except for Bellige.
“Um, Duke…”
Lina cautiously called out to the duke. Bellige, too, probably knew that golden silk was not currently imported into the empire.
In case he misunderstood, she was worried.
“Take care.”
Then Bellige, turning around, smiled, placing his hand on her shoulder. An expression that seemed to firmly trust Lina.
“Hoo.”
Lina’s face, which had become tense, relaxed at the duke’s expression. It didn’t matter what others said about her.
As long as the duke trusted her.
However, Lina didn’t see something. As soon as he turned away, the cold expression that froze on Bellige’s lips.
“Lina.”
“Ariana.”
Ariana, who seemed to have just arrived at the hunting ground, approached Lina.
“You’re here; I’ve been looking for you for a while. But what happened? Your complexion is dark…”
“It’s nothing. Rather than that, a place for the ladies is prepared over there.”
Lina pointed to the tables and low fences not far away.
While men hunted, women spent their time taking care of small animals like rabbits and fox cubs.
Upon seeing a group of fox cubs gathered near the fence, the two women sighed softly.
“Oh, how cute. Seeing the fox cubs, it seems like Empress Mama is coming.”
“Empress Mama?”
What does a group of fox cubs have to do with the Empress? Lina asked with a puzzled expression.
“Yes, even though I learned it through a lesson, apparently, the young animals participating in this year’s hunting competition are symbols of the highest-ranking family among those attending. The fox is the symbol of the Greta Marquis family. It is said that animals representing the maternal lineage come out when Empress Mama arrives.”
“Really, there seems to be no way to decide anything arbitrarily.”
When Lina, holding a fox with fluffy orange fur, was carefully petting it, someone began to speak loudly, as if deliberately for them to hear.
“Oh my, how cute. Seeing the fox cubs, it looks like the relationship between the Princess of Festius and the Duthamis lady is as close as the rumors say.”
“Yes, why would a princess associate with such a woman…”
As the two approached, someone deliberately started a loud conversation.
“Oh, haven’t you heard that rumor?”
“What rumor are you talking about?”
“About the princess, they say her mother is a former servant.”
“In the world, born of an affair in Festius. In that case, she’s not a legitimate heir of Festius, is she? No matter how much she’s called a saint, she seems to be inferior compared to our empire.”
Not exactly in Festius, but in the empire, unless you’re a royal, the position of a child born out of wedlock isn’t considered good.
However, even so, she would soon become the wife of a prince.
Yet, to criticize in such a manner was equivalent to ignoring the First Prince.
“I wonder who’s so bold to curse the empress in front of the crown prince.”
Approaching since when, Alex spoke.
“Why is Your Highness here…”
To the surprised Ariana, Alex smiled slightly.
“Just for a moment, [dash], there’s something I want to give.”
After Alex whispered for a while, he glanced at the women with a cold gaze.
“If the Crown Emperor heard it, he probably wouldn’t have let it slide.”
Hearing this, the women exchanged glances, lowering their shoulders. At Alex’s command, they approached Ariana, as if to apologize.
“Sorry. We were ignorant and, well, made a mistake.”
“Apologies should be made not by me but here, [dash].”
At his command, the women hastily approached Ariana to apologize.
“I’m sorry. Your Highness. Please, forgive our rudeness.”
“…It’s okay.”
As soon as Ariana spoke, they quickly left. Watching them, the First Prince spoke.
“Is it okay?”
“I’m sorry; I showed you an unpleasant sight.”
Ariana, as if she felt embarrassed, bowed her head.
“If such a thing happens again next time, hit them or something.”
“…Really?”
“Well, if the empress doesn’t hit them, then, how can things be settled?”
“Are you serious…?”
“Well, I can’t stand seeing my people being ignored by others.”
Ariana, looking at Alex, who spoke with a somewhat serious tone, had a slightly different look in her eyes than before.
And at that moment, a middle-aged lady appeared and said,
“Her Majesty the Empress is coming.”
Eugene, the Empress of the empire and the mother of the Second Prince, appeared.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

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.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
