“Aaah!”
Britney threw the teacup she was holding.
Clang
As the maids startled and cleaned up the broken teacup, Britney glared out the window with a sneer.
She couldn’t forget the incident from a few days ago when Kevrant had visited.
She was momentarily pleased to hear her father had connections in the royal palace, but there were dozens, even hundreds of women who wanted to be the Crown Princess.
Whether she could become the Crown Princess by beating that competition was uncertain.
However, there were dozens, even hundreds of women who wanted to become the wife of Kevrant Green, yet Iris did nothing and became his wife.
The humiliation she felt that day hadn’t faded.
Then your father is the same.
The words Iris whispered too.
The eyes of Iris, who had come to the parlor, which were once admiring Britney.
‘Iris, that woman… Pretends to be kind and docile, but she’s actually a snake. The Count of Green needs to know her true nature…’
The incident when Kevrant had mocked Britney had vanished from Britney’s memory. The only thing Britney remembered was Iris’s arrogant and shameless behavior.
‘Iris, that woman always steals what’s mine. Starting from our father… to Lapford… Yes, even to Lapford.’
Britney thought of the boy with skyblue hair who used to give her a genuine and warm smile.
Lapford, the first man she ever loved, was gentle and kind.
I’m sorry, Brin. I…
Lapford, rejecting Britney’s confession, was looking at Iris.
Iris, who was cleaning the window, turned her head and met Lapford’s eyes, and Lapford gave Iris a sweet smile. A kind of smile he had never shown to Britney.
She didn’t remember the expression on Iris’s face. Probably a flirty smile that ensnared men.
There were many such incidents even after Lapford.
Living so flirtatiously and then entering the Green family, the guardians of the Holy Relics.
Kevrant didn’t know how flirty Iris was. Iris was sure to tarnish the reputation of the Green family.
‘If he doesn’t know…’
Britney remembered the face of Alford Hutchis, the young count.
A few days ago, Alford, who had come to the Withlow Duke’s mansion with a terrified face for some reason, didn’t leave the Duke’s mansion demanding Iris, even after hearing that Iris had already married Kevrant.
He even threatened to take Britney if he couldn’t take Iris.
Alford was only a young count, but he was also the owner of the Hutchis Chamber. In an age when wealth started to have more value than nobility, even the Duke of Withlow couldn’t casually expel Alford.
‘If I tell him, that’s the end of it.’
A smile crept onto Britney’s lips.
She thought of a good way to get rid of Alford and dampen the happiness of Iris who was likely delighted. As soon as she came up with the plan, Britney hurriedly left the room and ran to Alford.
While eating daddy’s chocolate cookies, Alford was boasting to the maid next to him about how much money he had.
“Count Hutchis.”
“Oh, Miss Britney. Call me Alford.”
Alford smiled on his greasy face. He had no doubt that Britney would soon become his wife.
“How can I do that? Count Hutchis is the man of my beloved sister, Iris.”
Alford’s face crumpled.
“Didn’t the Duke give Iris to Count Green?”
“Give… How can you say such a thing…”
“Then isn’t it? If things went as promised, I would have already taken Miss Iris back to my territory.”
“I know, I know. How much Iris must have wanted that.”
“…Really?”
“Of course. Kevrant Green. That count, showing off that he’s the guardian of the Holy Relics, forced us to give Iris to him… Our Iris…”
Britney recalled that day, her eyes reddening. Of course, it was not sorrow, but anger that caused the welledup tears.
“Iris, how much she cried when she got into the Count of Green’s carriage… It still breaks my heart to think about it.”
Alford sent a pitiful glance at the tears rolling down Britney’s cheeks.
“But… But what can I do? How can I take Iris from Count Green, whom even the Duke of Withlow can’t handle? So, Miss Britney, with me…”
“Do you know how beautiful Iris is? You must have seen her portrait….”
“Ththat’s, of course……”
“Isn’t it so that our lovely Iris was crying while missing Duke Fuchis……?”
Upon being asked, the maid next to her quickly nodded.
“Yeyes. Miss Iris, she really cried a lot.”
Alford swallowed hard.
“I, I was originally going to marry Iris, so naturally, it would be nice to marry Iris. But there’s no way, no way……”
“There’s none. As a man……”
“No, why would me being a man pop up here?”
“Duke Fuchis, do you really not know why men are infatuated with our Iris……?”
“Because she’s beautiful……”
“Of course, that’s a part of it, but our Iris is such a pure girl. A flower in the middle of a lake, untouched by any man’s touch or breath.”
Alford nodded.
“That’s true……”
“Probably Earl Kevrant Green also wanted Iris because of such aspects. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?”
Alford was a man of quick wit.
“But who would believe that?”
