Everyone witnessed Siren and Evelin standing together in harmony. Even Duke Spelman.
When Evelyn and Veronica appeared in this ridiculous, un-royal-like way, everyone thought it was just a ridiculous farce.
Perhaps they thought that Princess Veronica, who had nothing, had been deceived by Evelyn's childish tricks.
Evelin, with her childish mind, would often do unimaginable things.
But the real surprise was the relationship between Certain and Evelyn.
“Is it possible that the Crown Prince genuinely cares about that idiot? She is a disgrace to the Spellman family!”
“Really! I thought their marriage would end quickly.”
“Who doesn’t think so? Ah, but His Majesty the Crown Prince probably has his own ideas, right? How long can he stay with a woman like that?”
They spoke as they glanced at Duke Spellman, who merely smiled mysteriously.
That was the way Evelyn was viewed, but at least she was doing her part well.
Simply preventing Cyrtain from marrying Rosalina and producing an heir was enough.
The problem was that the poison had no effect on the Empress or the Princess.
But even to attract Sertin's attention in this way. She is still a wonderful daughter.
“I'm glad she's not dead yet.”
It's been a while since I felt this way.
If poison did not work on the Princess and Empress, physical methods could be used.
When the princess disappears, the shield protecting the empress will disappear.
Duke Spelman then turned his gaze to Veronica, who was smiling awkwardly in the audience.
“Oh, Your Excellency the Duke! Here you are. Thank you very much for inviting me to attend this unique event today.”
It was the director of the Natural History Museum who was shown rubbing his hands.
“Thank you for coming.”
Duke Spelmann welcomed him as if he were the owner of the palace.
“You are welcome. Of course you must come. The Duke has invited me.”
“Did you do the work you asked for?”
“Yes, everything is ready and waiting outside.”
Spellman's eyes narrowed and he laughed.
Many people here will become complicit. If something happened to Veronica, no one would help her.
All he has to do is move Sirtin somewhere where he can't be seen.
“Augustin.”
Even though it wasn't good enough, my son was perfect.
Augustin made an awkward appearance at Duke Spelmann's invitation.
“Why are you calling me?”
Augustin was completely unaware of what was going to happen today. In recent days, he has been trying to get closer to Raymond's second daughter.
Indeed, the girl was seen five steps away from Augustin.
Hazel Raymond
She had an intelligent and sharp appearance, like the Marquis Raymond.
She deserves to be Augustin's life partner.
Indeed, there were many opinions that said that the second daughter was more suitable as a successor than the first daughter.
But for the family to be peaceful, the first born must take over the family business.
The meticulous and conservative Marquis Raymond thought about this and decided so.
Because he thought it would make up for Augustine's shortcomings.
“I heard she was stubborn, and she really is.”
It was clear that she did not welcome the relationship with Augustin.
If this matter is resolved well, it would be nice to meet and talk to Hazel.
Duke Spelman turned his attention to his son.
“Can you take the Crown Prince and his followers outside? Can you drag them into the park for about 20 minutes.”
Augustin's expression changed immediately. His face was stiff, without a smile or complaint.
“Finally today...”
“It's not difficult, so I trust you will succeed.”
"Yes, Dad. I can finally get rid of that annoying woman."
Augustin smiled with a face that looked like the Duke of Spelmann. Augustine then stared at Veronica with cold eyes.
“A worthless girl who only holds a royal title because of luck!”
This position should have belonged to a qualified person.
Augustin said.
"Don't worry, Dad. Just trust me."
Duke Spellman smiled and mingled with the crowd.
Augustine approached Hazel. The look with which she was waiting for him was cold.
But that look will soon fade.
“Miss Hazel. Please excuse me.”
“It's okay, I'm fine.”
"Next time, I'll be hosting a banquet here for Miss's birthday. It won't be difficult to achieve with Spellman's power!"
Augustin said confidently, not noticing Hazel's disdainful looks at him.
At that moment, Augustine's focus was entirely on Cirtine, another person who had been given an undeserved position simply because he was born of royal blood.
I could barely catch my breath after leaving Sirtin's side and looking around. There were many people interested in me, but not many approached me.
She sat at the corner of the table, pretending to enjoy the delicious food.
“Ah, it's boring.”
Rosalina sat next to me with a bored expression.
“Are you just going to sit here and eat?”
Roina couldn't hold herf in anymore and exploded. Now, she often shows her true colors like this.
She assumes I won't understand her, and that's what makes her act so freely.
When I see everyone around me lowering their guard in front of me like this, I think I'm mastering my role. The only person who still doubts me is Sertain.
Ah, I'm thinking of Sirtine again. I shook my head.
“Huh?”
Oh, I was talking to Rosalina.
"I'll eat more. I'll keep eating here!"
“But Your Highness, you should spend time with people!”
Rosalina's eyes widened in surprise, then she let out a long sigh.
She must be feeling frustrated.
That woman was someone who was only satisfied when she was like the queen bee of society. So she must find it a bit annoying to be stuck in a corner like this.
"No. It's not fun. We're not close! They're not my friends!"
People were watching Veronica and me with sideways glances and whispering.
Most of them are followers of the Spelman family.
I don't see the need to form strong relationships with them, and it might even distract me from what's going to happen today.
And Rosalina too.
I have to keep an eye on Augustin, Spelman, and Veronica, but if Rosalina is here, it won't be easy for me to move.
“Isn’t Rosalina my friend?”
“Tch, so am I!”
“Hmm!”
I crossed my arms and turned my head away. I heard Rosalina grit her teeth angrily.
"Go! I won't play with Rosalina anymore. I'm angry!"
“…Are you going to be able to stay alone? I’ll be gone for a while.”
"Hmm! I don't want to talk!"
Rosalina lowered her head as if she wanted to hit me in the face and mingled with the people who were waiting for her.
After confirming this, I also looked around comfortably.
Everyone is in their places.
I pretended to eat more food while keeping an eye on Sirtain who was not far from Veronica.
“You are beautiful”
Please stop thinking about it!
I quickly turned my gaze away from Sirtain. What am I going to do, give up everything just because he said so?
This drives me crazy. He is truly a man who puzzles me.
She inhaled a deep breath.
I focused on Veronica and Certain.
I looked at Duke Spellman while happily pretending to eat something delicious. My eyes met Duke Spelman's. I waved at him calmly.
I saw that suspicious manager around.
I think I should move slowly.
Let's move next to Veronica. There must be some kind of signal.
She moved slowly around Veronica. Fortunately, no one thought anything strange about what she did.
After all, everyone considered me a weirdo.
I could clearly see what they were thinking.
I looked around Veronica as I sipped my drink.
That was when….
“Your Highness the Crown Prince! Let’s go outside, there seems to be a small event outside today to celebrate Her Highness the Princess’s birthday. Let’s go together.”
I saw Augustin trying to get people's attention, especially Certain's attention, while acting like a peacock showing off his feathers.
Duke Spellman was smiling, while looking at his son proudly.
This must be the signal.
“Vir.”
I shook Veronica's arm.
