Johannes gently stroked my head. His touch was as if he was handling something very precious.
“I feel upset sometimes because my wife seems to forget too much.”
“What part do you mean?”
I was taken aback, wondering if I had offended the villain’s feelings. Then, Johannes showed his unique lazy and arrogant smile.
“The fact that your husband is quite admirable.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Crown Prince Palace.
Crown Prince Carlos woke up only at noon. The events of last night vividly came to mind, angering him.
Estelle, whom he had been looking forward to so much.
‘How dare she ignore me like that?’
Even in front of him, the crown prince, she is looking for her husband.
‘She must not know how precious an opportunity she foolishly missed.’
In social circles, there were lots of rumors that Johannes had fun with Estelle and did not even submit a marriage report to abandon her later.
He actually checked it at the imperial palace.
As expected, the two were not married yet. Estelle was still under Libertan.
Therefore, the Crown Prince decided to meet the emperor and accuse the Duke of rudeness.
“Father. I have something to tell you. Last night”
“Carlos.”
The Emperor interrupted the Crown Prince with an expressionless face.
“Did you mess with Duke Blanchett at the ball last night?”
Carlos frowned.
“Did Duke Blanchett already tell you? Father. Actually….”
“There’s nothing to blame the Duke for. You’re the one who made the mistake.”
The Emperor didn’t even listen to Carlos’ words.
“Reflect for a few months. If you behave yourself, Duke Blanchett will probably let go of his anger.”
“Father!”
A furious Carlian raised his voice.
“Why won’t you even listen to my story? From the beginning, Duke Blanchett was rude to me. And the woman is not really married to Duke Blanchett, right?”
“Duke Blanchett has submitted a formal marriage report with the official seal of the temple and the approval of the royal family. That woman is now the official Duchess Blanchett.”
“Excuse me?”
At the completely unexpected news, Carlos’s face turned pale.
“So he formally married Estelle?”
“That’s right! Do you understand what you’ve done now?”
“But, but……”
If Estelle became the official Duchess Blanchett, it was indeed Carlos’s fault. But Carlos didn’t want to admit it.
“Duke Blanchett’s family is just a dukedom that has barely won a lottery ticket by favoring the royal family.”
It was true that the Blanchett family had been a very prominent family in the past. But that was all in the past. Now, they were nothing more than a revived dukedom.
‘Even if Duke Blanchett himself is a great man.’
He was still incomparable to him, the crown prince. The Crown Prince distorted his face at the absurd punishment.
“Even if the Blanchett family is great, I am the crown prince. Even for the dignity of the royal family”
“You still don’t understand the situation and keep talking nonsense. And you call yourself the crown prince of the empire!”
The Emperor frowned and slapped the crown prince’s cheek.
“Duke Blanchett’s family is now… not someone we can ignore.”
For the first time, his father hit him. Shocked, the Crown Prince covered his swollen cheek with a dumb look and asked.
“So the royal family has to bow their heads?”
“I don’t want to hear anymore. Get out.”
Carlos was forced to leave the throne room.
The Emperor sighed deeply at the sight of such a crown prince. To the Emperor, Carlos was a son who was not only failing to perform his duties as Crown Prince but also displeasing his father with his behavior.
‘He doesn’t even know his father’s heart.’
Furthermore, the weakness of the royal family that Duke Blanchett was holding was too powerful. In fact, Duke Blanchett had even elevated the imperial authority on his behalf, the emperor.
“Has he arrived?”
A knight with neat and short silver hair, clear blue eyes, and ascetic features, dressed in armor, greeted the emperor.
“Your Majesty’s loyal servant, Leandro Felcis, has come to see you.”
“……You also saw the crown prince’s disgrace?”
“I didn’t attend the masquerade, so I didn’t see it.”
The emperor sighed deeply again at the blunt response of the knight Leandro.
“What on earth is the orphan of Libertan that causes such a commotion?”
No matter how beautiful she was, Estelle was just an ordinary girl.
As an emperor, it was absurd that the crown prince was swayed by such a girl and alienated the Duke of Blanchett. How long would he trouble himself with women’s issues?
The emperor, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to have realized something and asked Leandro.
“Come to think of it, you are also related to that orphan.”
“……Yes. We were once engaged but broke off the engagement.”
“For what reason did you break off the engagement?”
Leandro’s expression, which had been indifferent all along, crumbled slightly.
“The original fiancee was Estella Libertan, the biological daughter of Duke Libertan. It was a promise between families, but the partner changed, so we broke off the engagement. There is no other reason.”
“I see.”
