Stolen Crown Princess (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 91

Lellia headed toward the Empress’s reception room with a tension she had never felt before. Her fingers, clasped tightly together, trembled uncontrollably. There was no hiding her anxiety.

It had already been quite some time since her last visit to the Imperial Palace. Ever since she had slipped away from the Empress’s quarters under Duke Dwayne’s order of dismissal, Eustia had never summoned her again.

Sadly, Lellia was all too aware of what that meant.

That day, Duke Dwayne had issued the dismissal order without the slightest hesitation—even though she had been seated alongside the Empress, whose rank was unquestionably higher than his.

He hadn’t even bothered to ask Eustia for permission or seek her opinion, not even with a brief word. He had simply sent her away as if casting her out, and Eustia had been unable to reprimand him for his insolence.

Though Eustia was the Empress of the Empire, before Duke Dwayne she was nothing more than a powerless figurehead. His decisions had always instantly become her will.

Thus, Dwayne’s dismissal order must have reflected Eustia’s own stance. The ruthlessness of that order meant her worth had plummeted to rock bottom.

Lellia’s suspicion soon became reality. The Empress, who had summoned her nearly every day before, had gone completely silent since that day.

Each of Lellia’s days, stained thickly with despair and frustration, was nothing but a string of agonies.

She had always been tacitly acknowledged as Liurian’s lover throughout her life—she had never even imagined being discarded like a worn-out rag now.

If Dwayne had resolved to abandon her, the only thing left for her to do was prove her worth once more. Just as she was agonizing day and night over how to seize such an opportunity, a message arrived from Eustia.

The long-awaited chance now loomed before her eyes—there was no reason not to grasp it. Yet precisely because it was so desperate, she dared not relax her guard for even a moment, fearing the slightest mistake.

Her anxious steps soon brought her to the reception room. The head maid walking ahead immediately announced,

“Your Majesty. Lady Lellia has arrived.”

“Please show her in.”
