To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 175
“Of course, Your Majesty has ensured Count Esteban’s full cooperation, but how rare it is to have a retainer who can read your mind.”
What a slippery fox he was.
He had clearly grasped her intention, yet deliberately twisted his words like that. Nerea narrowed her eyes and looked at Count Illautzer.
His feigned ignorance of Nerea’s clear intention to withdraw at any moment was masterful, yet both Nerea and Alejandro had noticed how Count Illautzer’s eyes had swiftly scanned the surrounding neutral nobles.
“That’s right. He is precisely the talent we desperately need.”
“Indeed. To discern what Your Majesty had in mind—we must redouble our efforts. We thought we had served Your Majesty faithfully our entire lives, yet never imagined Your Majesty would even consider increasing our attendants for our sake.”
Like a well-rehearsed play, the neutral nobles followed one after another. Through this incident, even the elder neutral nobles finally realized just how indispensable Nerea Esteban was to the Emperor.
She was the kind of talent Emperor Edward Valer Castarti would keep beside him, even casting aside his outdated prejudice that neutral nobles were his only true allies.
Yet not everyone shared this view. Among them were those who feared Nerea Esteban would become the Emperor’s most trusted retainer—Viscount Waterly was exactly such a man.
“But Your Majesty, why did you not reveal the existence of the marriage contract?”
When Viscount Waterly raised his voice, the Emperor’s gaze immediately fixed upon him. Receiving the Emperor’s full attention, he grew slightly excited—though it was merely incidental that a collective “Ah!” of realization rippled through the entire assembly hall.
“That’s right. There was a marriage contract.”
Indeed, everyone had clearly forgotten about the marriage contract’s existence. Seeing Viscount Waterly now receive glances as though they were seeing him anew, he proudly continued.
“Had Your Majesty merely revealed the marriage contract, Duke Roselini’s baseless rumors would have been utterly silenced.”
It was actually a rather sound suggestion—so much so that one might wonder why Count Illautzer or his aide Ronald Illautzer hadn’t proposed it themselves.

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
