“What misunderstanding could there have been between you and Viscount Felcis? Seeing two people who were originally close quarreling like this makes my heart ache.”
“Ah.”
“I hope your relationship with Viscount Felcis can be restored soon. May I ask what happened? Everyone wants to hear Viscountess Felcis’s sincerity.”
Viscountess blushed among the ladies who were just waiting for the chance to pull her down.
“Well, it seems difficult today. I’m not feeling well, so, excuse me.”
As soon as Viscountess ran away, the ladies around her began to gossip.
“I didn’t know Viscountess Felcis was such a person. I knew she cared for her son, but spreading unverified rumors like this…”
“Yeah, I’ve heard quite a bit about Viscountess Felcis, so that story might also be due to something her son did.”
“No matter how precious her son is to her, it’s disappointing. Especially for someone who emphasized the dignity of nobility.”
If today’s events spread throughout the social circle, everyone would be in great shock.
At that moment, one lady, who had been thinking carefully, spoke up.
“By the way, does that mean the rumors about Viscountess Blanchett were all groundless?”
“That’s how it turned out. It was also a story I heard from Viscountess Felcis.”
“But Viscountess Felcis didn’t see it directly, right? Then who was the person who first started the story?”
The nobles began to show curiosity about the widespread notoriety of Estelle, and the origin of that notoriety.
“Come to think of it, the victim who stood up, Miss Miryu Juti…”
The Kingdom of Royum gathered people in a large banquet hall to officially announce the annulment. Nadia, attending the announcement with her mother, looked around with surprised eyes.
“There are so many people.”
Perhaps because the news was too shocking to be just before the wedding, many nobles were present.
‘What crime did Miryu commit in Royum Kingdom?’
Nadia became even more curious about the content of today’s announcement.
[D — ]The bell signaling the start of the announcement rang, and on the podium, Queen Isabella, the representative of King Royum, slowly appeared.
“Thank you to all the esteemed guests gathered here.”
Queen Isabella opened her mouth with an expressionless face.
“As you all may have heard, the planned royal marriage in Royum Kingdom has been canceled. Normally, we wouldn’t make such an announcement, but since many of you have been preparing and waiting for a situation like this, we thought it was appropriate to explain the circumstances.”
Behind Queen Isabella, Miryu, with a sad expression, and Hessen, bowing his head like a sinner, were visible. The two still held hands, as if their relationship had not yet broken.
“Hessen, it’s your turn.”
“Yes, Mother.”
Prince Hessen, holding Miryu’s hand, stepped onto the podium.
At that moment, someone tapped Nadia’s shoulder as they walked past. Nadia grabbed her shoulder and turned her head. A woman with her veil turned up looked surprised.
“Hey, people should[—]”
Then, a knight came from behind the woman and blocked Nadia as if protecting her.
“I apologize. It’s a very urgent situation, please understand.”
The bluntly spoken knight guided the woman. The woman, who gently nodded, walked slowly towards the podium.
‘Who is she to walk away so confidently without even apologizing?’
Golden hair and blue eyes. She looked noble even at a glance, wearing a white dress.
‘No way[—]’
A woman gracefully lifted her dress and greeted the Royum royal family, moving silently towards the podium.
“Hello, members of the Royum royal family.”
“Who are you? Those whose identity is not confirmed cannot enter.”
Queen Isabella expressed discomfort at the unidentified guest. In response, the knight standing in front of the woman shouted towards Queen Isabella.
“This is the noble Stella Saintess, who has appeared in the empire for the first time in 100 years.”
People were stirred by the sudden appearance of the saintess. This was the first time the saintess of this era had officially revealed herself.
“So, what is the reason for your presence here today?”
“The reason I came here is[—]”
Stella, with light footsteps, took Miryu’s hands.
“I hope not to lose the precious blessings from the Royum Kingdom. Currently, she has embraced the blessings of the Royum royal family.”
