“We have arrived, Miss Adel.”
At Zimmer’s voice, Adel barely woke from her terrible thoughts.
As the carriage stopped and Zimmer opened the door, the brightly lit southern palace came into view.
The place called ‘Marble Palace’ was said to have been built for the royal family to stay. Thanks to that, it was an independent place with its own entrance, even though it was located inside the imperial palace.
As the name suggests, the small building made of marble gleamed like a gemstone in the moonlight. Its appearance was reflected in the tranquil lake in front of it.
Adel was momentarily lost in the magical and mysterious view when,
“Have you arrived?”
As always, Henry, neatly dressed, politely greeted her.
“Henry!”
Behind Henry, Tanya and a few familiar faces appeared. They were all servants who had worked at Adel’s mansion.
“Is everyone here?”
“We picked a few in a hurry after receiving Your Majesty’s command. Soon, we will pack up the luggage at the mansion and bring everyone.”
“That’s good.”
Adel had been concerned about sending them away after fighting with Christine. It had been a short time, but she felt surprisingly fond of them and was glad to see them again.
“Let’s go inside for now.”
Guided by Henry, Adel entered the Marble Palace.
Contrary to its tranquil exterior, the interior of the Marble Palace had a different atmosphere.
Rosepatterned carpets were laid on the marble floor, and a gorgeous crystal chandelier swayed on the ceiling.
Elegant pink curtains hung from each oldfashioned arch window, and the pillars and corners were beautifully decorated with gold ornaments.
Every nook and cranny was carefully considered, making it glamorous and luxurious.
In addition, royal guards were stationed both inside and outside the Marble Palace.
Click!
Upon seeing Adel, they placed their right fists on their left chests. It was a salute unique to the guard.
Zimmer followed her as if escorting her, with Henry and the servants in line.
Now no one could call Adel the wicked woman of Calarim.
Because she was the fiancée of Vice Count, the mistress of the Marble Palace.
(This is a time separator.)
Thump!
As soon as she entered the bedroom, Adel collapsed onto the sofa.
“Today was really the best!”
Closing the bedroom door quickly, Tanya rushed over with an excited face. Everyone else had been sent away, leaving only Tanya.
“That’s true. It was also the most exhausting day.”
Adel had barely gotten out of bed from her illness yesterday. She felt proud of herself just for managing today’s schedule, and now she was completely exhausted.
“I’ve prepared a bath, so soak in the warm water and rest.”
Tanya quickly undressed her and removed the ornaments from her hair, all the while excitedly chattering.
“But when is the Count coming?”
“Maybe in a couple of hours?”
“Really? Then you can’t take a bath together?”
When Tanya shouted in huge disappointment,
“What are you talking about? A bath together!”
Adel looked at her, combing her hair, with a dumbfounded face.
“I thought you would take it together, so I floated rose petals in the bathtub. I even laid out all the candles in the bathroom. For a romantic mood, I added jasminescented bath oil too…….”
In the end, Adel’s face turned red, and she scolded her.
“Tanya, why are you like this too? It’s an engagement, not a marriage.”
But Tanya, on the other hand, laughed mischievously.
“Oh my, are you being naive? Or pretending to be naive? What do you think it means for His Majesty to give you the palace? It means the two of you will live together. This is just a nominal engagement; it’s no different from marriage.”
At Tanya’s interpretation, Adel’s heart thumped.
She knew it too, of course.
That this engagement ceremony was no different from a wedding.
Christine had held a grand engagement ceremony to proclaim to all the people of the empire that she was his woman. The Emperor had even been involved, exiling her from Oswaldgast and giving her the palace.
So Adel was Vice Count’s woman, accepted by everyone.
Of course, to become an official couple, they needed the approval of the papacy. But that was just a formal procedure.
Even so, taking a bath together…….
The mere thought made her face flush, and Adel fanned herself.
“Don’t talk nonsense, you should go back and rest now. You worked hard today.”
“Hard work? I’ll just prepare the bath and leave.”
“Why the sudden mention of a bath? Never mind.”
Adel looked embarrassed, but Tanya cheerfully opened the door to the bathroom attached to the bedroom and went in.
“Miss, you are now the top lady of Calarim. You should naturally have maids attend to your bath. I’ll massage your tight shoulders and limbs well. I’ll wash your hair too.”
“I appreciate the thought, but I want the bath to be a strictly private area.”
“Just think of me as someone who doesn’t exist…….”
“Your presence is too big, so I can never do that.”
Adel sent Tanya out firmly, smiling all the while.
“Sleep well, Tanya.”
“Miss……”
“I love you.”
Thud!
She quickly closed the door.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
