Her friends standing by her side only kept their positions in a very uncomfortable silence.
“Her mouth is up to her ears.”
Lelia muttered under her breath. Evelia’s bright face was reflected in her eyes, seething with unbearable anger.
She was wearing such an extravagant dress, unlike other times, that its presence was noticeable even from a distance.
That wasn’t all. The Empire’s one and only necklace, known as a nonsale item from the jewelry store run by the Count of Montrol, was around her neck.
It was perfect. There was not a single flaw to be found in Evelia, standing as Liurian’s partner. This fact only boiled Lelia’s insides more.
“But that necklace, how could it happen?”
“That’s what I’m saying. They said it was a precious item they wouldn’t sell even though they had it on display, but did Count Montrol sell the necklace to the Crown Princess?”
“Whatever the process, since they sold it, she must have come out with it around her neck so confidently.”
Lelia’s friends, who had been silent while watching her, finally couldn’t help but whisper amongst themselves.
“I wonder how much she paid? Considering the Count’s dignity we’ve seen so far, it must have been a tremendous amount.”
“I thought she was just a flashy Crown Princess, but it seems that’s not the case. Seeing her holding that necklace so proudly…”
“The Duke’s house may have pressured it. Her father, Duke Caroline, is someone who has the Emperor’s trust.”
“That might be possible.”
The young ladies’ conversation about the Crown Princess irritated Lelia.
It really drove her mad. Liurian was her man. Although he might have been known throughout the Empire as the Crown Princess’s husband, there had never been a time when he wasn’t her man.
Everyone in the palace, and everyone who knew of Liurian and herself, tacitly accepted their relationship. But how could this situation have arisen?
Lelia turned her head to look for the Empress, biting her lip. Though the distance was far, the Empress’s dark expression was clearly visible.
Given the situation, she had resolved not to seek out the Empress today, but she could no longer bear it.
No matter what the others at the party might gossip about her and the Empress, she first had to find a way to vent her current frustration.
Ignoring the glances of her friends, Lelia walked quickly towards the Empress. As she approached, the Empress, sensing her presence, looked up.
“Young lady, you’ve come.”
“It’s a party to celebrate His Highness’s victory, how could I not attend?”
Lelia wore a smile as bright as usual, perfectly hiding her dark inner thoughts. Yet, the Empress’s face did not brighten.
“You have come a long way, but I am ashamed to face your Highness.”
“It’s not so, Your Majesty. This is all for His Majesty, and I can fully understand.”
It was a disingenuous statement. But she couldn’t just reveal her unspeakable jealousy.
Lelia did her best to prevent her true feelings from being exposed. Yet to someone who shared the same feelings, even that was glaringly obvious.
“You say that, but I know that your Highness’s heart must be wounded. Thinking it was for Liurian, I hastily agreed, but my insides are also burning with anger. How must your Highness feel?”
Eustia comforted and consoled Lelia, pretending to take care of her feelings while lowering her eyes. With just that, Lelia’s emotions were clearly shaken.
She was quite upset.
Eustia furrowed her brows and pondered. It wasn’t just Lelia, but she too no longer wanted to see the Crown Prince’s wife’s sullen face.
So there was only one way.
Eustia quickly organized her thoughts and gave Lelia a kind smile.
“I am the Crown Prince’s mother, but you too are my child here, and I have no enemies.”
“…….”
“A wise mother should treat all her children equally, shouldn’t she?”
“Your Majesty. What you’re saying…….”
Lelia, who had been quietly listening to Eustia’s words, trailed off with a faint voice. She had caught on to Eustia’s intention in an instant.
Eustia smiled contentedly and nodded.
“I think I can tolerate anything as long as it’s not about saving Liurian’s face. I wonder what your Highness thinks.”
It was permission to vent on Evelia, as long as some boundaries were maintained.

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.
