The day of Lexus’s ascension to the throne was approaching.

Only about a week was left.

Lenisha, who was counting the days on her fingers, let out a smile.

According to what Henry hinted at, the day Lenisha leaves would also be that day.

Lexus was preparing to send Lenisha out at his own discretion.

“Hmm.”

Lenisha, leaning back on the sofa and looking outside, organized her thoughts.

After all, when Lenisha goes out, all those working in the Empress’s palace would be thrown out together.

She needed to think about their future.

And it seemed better to cash in most of the valuables she had.

What was needed in Hiloshain was money, not a lady adorned with precious metals.

She knew what the neglected Hiloshain would look like even without seeing it.

Lenisha tapped her cheeks.

And it would be better to cash in everything personal that Lenisha had as well.

‘But it’s best not to sell the southern lands.’

Most of Hiloshain’s land was unfit for grain cultivation.

In Hiloshain’s land, things other than grain grow. Suitable for the people living there.

So, to provide as much food as possible on their own, leave the southern lands and…

Moreover, in the case of the Walesstun territory in the south that Lenisha owned, there had been a good harvest for the past three years, so the amount of grain stored in the warehouse was also considerable.

She had cashed in other lands during the past week.

Everything was getting ready gradually.

Lenisha closed her eyes.

The number of nobles who have secretly sent letters to Lenisha personally has increased since the tea party that day.

She had seen and felt it, so it was natural.

After all, Lexus has always been a mess, so there was no need to show them.

But now that Canaria has been added… they must have had a lot to think about.

They will stay in the center and become Lenisha’s eyes and ears.

And they will reach out to Lenisha whenever necessary.

They were the ones who bought the land Lenisha put up for sale.

Lenisha was slowly building a relationship with them.

‘I must leave Turiel here.’

There would be no place for the dressing room to enter in Hiloshain.

The place where Turiel could be of use was not Hiloshain, but here, in the center.

It would be good to leave some of the cashed money to Turiel.

Not only precious metals but also the dresses she has worn so far if she puts them together…

‘You can see the teeth if you strain.’

Lenisha smiled faintly.

Canaria, too, must know that there are things that can’t be done no matter how hard she tries.

Lenisha was enjoying the leisure that had come after a long time, lost in thought.

“Your Majesty.”

“What is it?”

“Sir Casius has sent a messenger.”

“Sir Casius?”

Lenisha got up.

A person sent by Casius. Lenisha’s eyes shone.

‘Could it be, he found my brother?’

That cluelesslooking man had only one reason to contact Lenisha.

“Where is he?”

“Well, he just delivered this and left.”

Lenisha received what Lindey was holding out with a puzzled face.

Lenisha’s eyes popped open.

The only person in the world who could call Lenisha auntie was just one person.

Lenisha swallowed dry saliva.

“Isabella…!”

Lenisha hurriedly unfolded the letter.

<Auntie, it’s Isabella.

Have you been well all this time? I’m worried that you may be suffering because of the Emperor.

I’m doing well. You don’t have to worry about me.

We will be able to meet soon, auntie.

I want to relieve you of at least the worry, so I grab the pen urgently like this.

There is so much to talk about that I cannot share in writing.

Auntie, I miss you.

Take care until the day we meet again.

From Isabella.>

Isabella was still a thoughtful girl.

She felt like she had caught a dandelion, which only seemed superficial.

Lenisha’s fingertips grew hot.

Her heart sent blood rushing throughout her body in urgent beats.

Lenisha moistened her lips.

“He is doing well. I mean, Isabella.”

She knew Lenisha was looking, so she had contacted her like this.

‘He said he came as Casius’s messenger?’

Lenisha said urgently.

“Where did the messenger go? Who came?”

“Um. A tall man, bending his body crookedly. He just said to pass this on and left.”

It might be a signal.

A signal that Casius is looking for and protecting Isabella.

It’s been over a week since she last saw Casius.

It wouldn’t be strange if Casius had found Isabella in the meantime.

Lenisha placed her hand on her heart.

“……Yes.”

“Congratulations, Your Majesty.”

Good news had come to Lenisha’s palace, where there was no joy for a long time.

Lenisha held a pretty smile.

For some reason, Linda wiped away flowing tears.

She felt everything would go well.

“The Empress seems to be preparing to leave.”

Canaria laughed, looking over the things laid out on the table.

“Of course! If the Emperor has decided, how could the Empress defy him? She must leave if he says so.”

“That’s right.”

Canaria rummaged through the precious metals in the box.

Lenisha had sold these things.
