“Why did she just disappear that day?”
That day, after they had danced together, Adel fled the ballroom as if running away.
While they were dancing, she had not noticed, but when she came to, everyone was whispering and looking at her and Christine.
At that moment, Adel couldn’t raise her head out of shame.
Because it felt like her heart fluttering for him had been exposed.
“Daring to aim at money and status by marrying an old duke, and a wicked woman who poisoned her husband at that!”
She felt like she could hear such things.
“I was originally just going to present a gift to His Majesty and return. You were attending the ball for the first time, so I thought you’d be busy greeting people, so I didn’t mention it and just came. If you’re upset, I’m sorry.”
“Huh, sorry?”
Christine was laughing, but her eyes were cold.
As soon as the dance ended that day, everyone came up one after another to talk, and she was out of her mind. Meanwhile, Adel was nowhere to be seen.
When she heard that she had returned, she was strangely angry and couldn’t help it.
Yes, you were good at running away like that.
“Do you have anything else to tell me?”
Christine asked.
Adel looked at him blankly.
She had so much to say. Really, there were things she wanted to pour out without thinking.
What would change if she did?
He was soon to be the emperor’s fatherinlaw. There was nothing good about getting involved with someone like her.
“Is your leg… the one you hurt back then… is it doing okay?”
Christine looked at Adel with downcast eyes and nodded.
“It’s doing okay.”
“That’s good.”
Until ten years ago, Adel and her mother had taken care of Christine like family. His father, who often visited the two women’s house to find his son, naturally became close.
And then the parents formally announced their remarriage.
But the day before the wedding, Adel’s mother died.
A horrible accident, bitten by a wild animal in the forest.
Christine’s father, who had gone to catch that beast, was also severely injured, his life hanging by a thread. And Adel left him and Christine behind and went to her noble birth father.
She coldly turned her back on him, blocking his path with tears.
She said there was no reason to live in a dirty mining village anymore without her mother. From now on, she would become a noble and live a glamorous life.
Unfortunately, it didn’t seem to have turned out that way.
“How have you been since then?”
“I’ve been well too.”
She smiled, but her green eyes were dark and gloomy, not the bright and lovely eyes of the past.
“Sure, it looks like you’ve been doing really. well. As you wished to become a noble.”
Recalling the report from his deputy Zimmer, Christine snickered.
“The rumors started when you married the late Duke Oswald. A girl of 18 marrying a duke as old as her father.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]After returning from the ball, Christine had ordered an investigation into Adel.
“An 18yearold with a duke as old as her father?”
“Yes, there was a lot of talk that it was a marriage aimed at wealth and social climbing.”
“She doesn’t look like she’s got either of those?”
In the ballroom, Adel was shabbily dressed to anyone who saw her. She didn’t wear a single piece of jewelry on her body.
Still, she was beautiful enough, but it was clear at a glance that her situation was bad.
“Well… she was expelled for the crime of poisoning her husband two years after the marriage.”
Christine clicked his tongue.
If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t know, but her killing her husband…
The children of the mining village, who had no toys, often caught insects for fun. Whenever that happened, Adel would free the insects the children caught and be scolded.
Then Christine would rush at those kids without a second thought. Because he couldn’t forgive anyone who cursed Adel.
But now Adel was being cursed as the biggest villainess in the empire.
Of course, Christine had no intention of rushing in recklessly for Adel now.
The Adel he knew ten years ago was now gone.
“Tell me more.”
“Of course, there’s no exact evidence, so Oswald decided to wrap it up by banishing her. And now, it seems, she’s living in a small mansion on the outskirts of Greenhill.”
“And what does the deputy think?”
“Huh?”
Zimmer looked puzzled.
“There’s no evidence, so you just let the murderer of the family head go? Especially from a family as prominent as Oswald’s?”
He didn’t believe Adel, but the situation was suspicious.
“Well… there’s a rumor that there was some kind of relationship with the son of the duke…”
Zimmer, who was answering, changed his words quickly after seeing Christine’s cold expression.
“I will supplement and report more.”
Christine stood up from the chair.
“It’s okay, prepare the carriage. I’m going to the outskirts of Greenhill now.”
“Are you going to the Duchess?”
“Is there a problem?”
Zimmer wore a bewildered expression.

“How dare you!”
