In fact, when Rishi learned that Alford had visited the mansion, he wanted to chase him away on the spot.

Just the thought of Alford was disgusting. His past life and every day spent with him were more dreadful and loathsome than a pigsty.

The reason Rishi didn’t drive him away was that he didn’t want to reveal his desire to avoid him. Moreover, it was evident that Mary and Brittany were planning something using Alford.

Considering Brittany’s level, Rishi could also guess what they were up to.

If the events unfolded as Rishi anticipated, Brittany would be able to handle both Alford and the situation at once.

The problems with Brittany and Alford were annoying but not a big concern.

“The Second Prince is coming?”

The news just conveyed by Jamie darkened Rishi’s mood.

“Yes, I received a report that he entered the marquisate just now. He should arrive in 5 or 6 hours.”

“I see…”

Sending invitations to the Crown Prince and the princes below, including Mary, was a matter of courtesy as a princess of a country. Since it was a big deal for the royal family to leave the palace and move, usually, they sent envoys with good gifts to offer welcoming greetings.

The Crown Prince and the other princes who received the same invitations did just that. Rishi didn’t consider entertaining the royals seriously.

Moreover, what bothered him was that it was not just any prince but the Second Prince, Lacogen Octavius. Rishi knew well how dissolute and rude the Second Prince Lacogen could be.

Rishi narrowed his eyes and looked up at Jamie.

“The party is the day after tomorrow, so we should avoid meeting until the day of the party.”

“Yes, that sounds good.”

“Tell them I’m sick in bed.”

“That should work.”

“Hope Lacogen falls madly in love with Mary and Brittany.”

“It would be better if he did…”

Jamie gazed at his beautiful sister-in-law.

Although similar in beauty to Mary, she had a unique atmosphere that Mary lacked. Unusual maturity, a seemingly cold yet warm feeling, and sharpness hidden behind a fragile appearance.

Even those without eyes could feel the atmosphere that made Rishi look different.

Lacogen, who had met numerous women, couldn’t help but notice this atmosphere.

“It’s so annoying. If you’re in a position where no one can touch you, you don’t have to worry about such things.”

The irritation in Rishi’s voice was something Jamie heard for the first time.

As Rishi sighed slightly with a annoyed look, a determined light lingered and disappeared in his eyes.

“Jamie, can I ask you for a favor? It might be troublesome and tiring.”

“Feel free to ask.”

The favor Rishi asked Jamie was perplexing, but Jamie answered without asking anything.

“I’ll do as you request, Countess.”

Upon entering the Green Marquisate, Lacogen looked around.

Even with the arrival of a prince, the Minasaric princess, who came out in front of the main gate to welcome him, did not seem to show the figure of the “Flower of Witelo’s Ducal House.”

Observing the welcoming crowd through the window of the carriage, Lacogen spoke.

“Is the Flower of Witelo not here?”

“Here I am, Your Highness.”

A voice came from the crowd.

She was a lovely woman with long, abundant blonde hair, half tied, and a doll-like face.

“Aren’t you Iris Witelo?”

The woman’s face stiffened but soon softened.

“I’m Brittany Witelo, Your Highness. Iris is no longer part of the Witelo family.”

“Ah, I heard that story. But you’re not the flower I wanted to see.”

“What?”

“I wanted to see the flower of Witelo, not you.”

Brittany’s face turned bright red, but Lacogen’s attention shifted to Mary.

“Oh, Princess Ketven. I’ve heard of your reputation. Truly beautiful.”

Mary couldn’t help but feel awkward at Lacogen’s impolite words. Even if a Crown Prince spoke to a princess of another country like this, it would be enough to receive criticism, and yet, a Second Prince who had not even ascended to the throne committed such rudeness.

However, a powerless nation had no choice but to bow its head to a powerful one. While grinding her teeth inwardly, she smiled on the outside.

“Thank you, Second Prince.”

“But there’s no fragrance.”

“What?”

“A flower without fragrance is not attractive. I was disappointed. Princess, I expected more.”

Mary was about to scream.

‘What kind of guy is he?’

The momentarily infuriating Lacogen, who angered the two women, asked as if nothing had happened, looking around.

“So, where is the flower of Witelo, or should I say, the flower of Green? Where is the lady of the Green Marquisate? She didn’t come out to welcome me when I’m here?”

“Second Prince.”

Among the crowd, Jamie stepped forward.

Lacogen warmly greeted Jamie.

“Oh, Lady Russell.”

“Countess Green is in a severe condition, unable to rise from bed. She apologizes for not coming out to greet you in person.”

“Sick?”

“Yes. She has been seriously ill since last night, going back and forth between life and death.”

“She’s lying in bed because she’s sick?”

“Yes.”

When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Synopsis:

“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.

Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.

While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the  Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
