Emperor Icar of Bashuker had always been very discreet when it came to marriage in the past.
It wasn’t just that.
The Princess would not only make friends with foreign princesses and influential nobles who were forced to study abroad, but also return with a substantial reward.
So, it was right for her to return in triumph.
However, among conservative nobles who did not know the intimate details, an atmosphere was formed that rejected a marriage proposal with the Princess.
That’s why the Princess’s path to marriage was blocked.
But to Reneb, even that felt like a very desirable indicator for the future.
In this life, she decided to live well, spending money lavishly and being unmarried. Of course, after diligently gathering her strength to bring down the Empress, Lucius, and Esika.
So Reneb could not understand why the two men of the House of Siren looked so defeated.
But persuasion seemed necessary.
“Don’t worry. From what I’ve found, the land of the Bashuker Empire is a land of opportunity.”
“……?”
The two men of the Siren family simultaneously raised one eyebrow.
Since she expected that a single word would not convince them, Reneb calmly listed the benefits of going to Bashuker.
“Firstly, today Her Majesty the Empress had tried to make public the marriage proposal between Lucius and me.”
“What?”
“What?”
This time, the two men of the Siren family frowned for another reason.
“It was something that happened without a word of consultation with our Siren Duke family.”
As soon as Reneb’s words were over, the two men exploded in anger.
“Is she crazy?”
“Isn’t that an insult to our family!”
Even in the past, the two men had ground their teeth at the whims of the Empress.
But Reneb, who had been smitten by Lucius’s temptation, had not listened to her family’s words.
In the end, the two men could not break Reneb’s will.
What could be done if she said she loved him?
“Father is right. Her Majesty the Empress must have mistaken that there is some sort of atmosphere flowing between His Highness Lucius and me.”
In the original work, the two men of the Siren family were depicted as quite rational and coolheaded.
She didn’t know them well before her regression because she had little contact with them, but now they both seemed rather sanguine.
Though slightly surprised by their slightly changed aspects, Reneb focused on the current situation.
It was not right to directly confront the Empress, who enjoyed power almost equivalent to the Empress.
Although the power of the Siren Duke family was strong, if they went to war with the Empress, the damage would surely fall on the people of the Siren Duke’s territory.
“Um… Reneb. You didn’t have feelings for the Third Prince, did you?”
Patrick asked a little cautiously. The Siren Duke, who seemed to share the same thought, waited for her answer.
Reneb chuckled.
“Oh dear, Brother. What a thing to say.”
Reneb barely held back her harsh words and smiled faintly.
“Of course not. Even shoes have pairs. He must have a fitting pair. But it’s not me.”
Patrick scratched his head, watching Reneb’s reaction.
“Ah, is that so? I misunderstood… Sorry, I was a little confused.”
“Actually, this father also misunderstood that Reneb had feelings for His Highness the Third Prince. I’m relieved.”
Reneb asked the two who seemed strangely relieved.
“Relieved?”
“This father did not think His Highness the Third Prince suited you well.”
“I didn’t say it, but. I thought the same. Reneb.”
“Why did you both think that way?”
Patrick spoke to Reneb’s calm question.
“I can’t pinpoint exactly why, but it’s just my feeling.”
The Duke of Siren also nodded, seeming to agree.
‘Nothing has happened yet…?’
Reneb was convinced that the two men had an eye for people.
“But if the goal was to avoid marriage with the Third Prince, wouldn’t there have been other ways?”
Reneb quietly shook her head at the words of the Duke of Siren.
“It may be possible to postpone the marriage with His Highness the Third Prince, but avoiding it would be difficult.”
“Even if I temporarily get engaged to another noble, the Empress will intervene to annul the engagement.”
“Hmm…….”
Reneb’s thoughts seemed to agree with the two men, concern marking their faces.
“And something I recently found out. Contrary to rumors, Emperor Icar of Basuker is quite faithful.”
The two men exchanged glances.
The grace of the venerable Siren Duke’s house grew like flowers in a greenhouse. They seemed to think she couldn’t know much about the faraway situation.
Of course, the statement that Icar, the Emperor of Basuker, was faithful was false.
But it was certain that at least the two men of the Siren Duke’s house would not cause a problem to worry about.
“So, Reneb. How did you find out that Her Majesty the Empress was about to announce the engagement, and that the Basuker Empire invited Her Highness the Princess?”
Reneb bit her tender flesh inside her mouth, frowning.
Patrick, you’re sharp?
“Yes, that’s right. Why didn’t you ask this father for help sooner?”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
