At that moment, Rosalina was biting her nails hard. When she first left her position as Evelin's maid, she thought it was a good move.
Since Certain saw Rosalina as a special person, she thought that that woman was not useful anymore. But ever since she left the Imperial Palace, she had not seen Sirten even once.
I made several requests to meet him, but they were rejected.
“In the past, there was at least an excuse to report.”
Originally, the Imperial Castle was a majestic place and difficult to reach without a position. Rosalina stamped her feet impatiently.
She didn't realize the value of what she had until she lost it.
“Dad, I have to go back to the imperial palace again, right?”
“Rosalina.”
Count Karma looked at his daughter sadly.
“The situation is now dangerous. The young Duke Augustin has been dismissed. It is said that they are still investigating what happened at Princess Veronica’s birthday party. All the staff at the Crown Princess’ palace have been arrested. If you had done something wrong, you could have been arrested as well.”
“So isn’t this an opportunity now? This means that His Majesty the Crown Prince is suspicious of that fool.”
Rosalina's eyes sparkled.
“I'll go and talk to the prince, I'll explain to him how stupid Evelyn was...and also...”
Rosalina hesitated.
Everyone was complaining about what exactly happened at Princess Veronica's banquet.
Only the facts revealed on the surface have sparked wild speculation. What the Imperial Family announced was that Crown Princess Evelyn had simply lost her way.
“Perhaps…Princess Evelyn may have defiled her honor. Look at what’s happening, father. If not, why all these strict restrictions?”
Count Karma listened to Rosalina's words, he always thought Rosalina was the best. Count Karma's eyes wavered.
"What do you mean…?"
"She was probably with another man in that situation. I think she would follow anyone if he offered her candy."
Count Karma's eyes widened.
“I will meet with Mr. Mortega. If Mr. Mortega is here, he will listen to my story.”
Rosalina smiled wickedly. The rumors were getting stronger as they grew.
Naive Evelyn.
Bringing that woman down wasn't difficult at all.
Rosalina arrived at Mortega, who greeted her uncomfortably. It was very early, not even time for the cabs to pass.
Due to the emergency in the Imperial Palace, he had woken up early, but it was not the right time to receive guests.
However, Mortega could not refuse Rosalina. It was a kind of duty.
When Mortega saw that Rosalina was perfectly groomed, his face flushed. Rosalina has never been interested in confusion or chaos.
‘As expected, she deserves to be the Empress.’
Mortega sat across from Rosalina with an embarrassed expression.
“Did you come too early? I'm sorry, Mr. Mortega, I thought I should come before it got too late.”
“No problem, Lady Rosalina. How have you been?”
“Of course, I was fine. But it seems Mortega wasn't fine… Your face isn't fine.”
Mortega rubbed his face. The reason was clear. He had run here and there to win a marathon with Doc Spielman.
In addition, Cerdin had become more strict about matters relating to Evelyn, and could not afford to neglect investigations into the servants.
But even Cyrtain himf did not get rest and worked non-stop. In the end, he succeeded in dealing a major blow to Spielman.
“I heard that there is a big problem in the Imperial Palace.”
Rosalina said, and Mortega opened his eyes in surprise.
“Haha.”
Mortega laughed to lighten the situation.
“Most likely... because of what happened... actually...”
“What? What happened? The palace is safe.”
However, Mortega seemed to be pretending not to know. He had a worried look on his face, despite his attempts to look reassured.
"Of course. Princess Evelyn wasn't just lost."
Roina sighed deeply.
"If I had served the princess better that day... all of this wouldn't have happened. I can't sleep because of my guilt. In fact, if I had paid better attention to the princess at all times, nothing like this would have happened."
“Ah…”
Mortega shook his head indistinctly, unable to understand what she was saying. However, perhaps he had a suspicion that Rosalina knew something more than he did.
"In truth, Her Highness Princess Evelyn probably didn't know anything. I don't question the sincerity of her purity. The problem is those who take advantage of that purity."
Rosalina continued as if she was sorry
“Actually, I can’t say if I should talk about this, but… the princess got lost at the party, and as a result, many people suffered.”
The person who was hurt the most that day was Evelyn. The biggest beneficiary was Veronica.
But Mortega, as if pretending not to understand, remained silent.
“I think that someone might have tried to seduce the princess... I have hesitated for a long time to talk about this, but...”
Rosalina put on a sad expression on her face, then lowered her head.
“Maybe it was because I was negligent in serving him.”
“What do you mean? Do you mean that Her Highness Evelin colluded with someone…?”
"No, she was just being used! And I'm just casting doubts. That's why I couldn't talk about it before."
Rosalina explained that it was just “suspicions” and nothing more. She was only trying to sow doubts. Which will raise questions about whether Evelyn deserves to keep her position.
The scariest thing about any internal struggle is starting from within.
“Indeed… Her Highness Evelin is very beautiful.”
This was really out of jealousy, so much so that Rosalina was worried when Evelin dressed up. Ladies of the gentry of high society seemed to think the same as well.
'Although she was beautiful, she was not of sound mind! Is beauty everything?'
“Beautiful? Of course, but Rosalina is the best.”
She would remember those humiliating moments that day until her teeth would break with anger.
“With all this beauty and no one admiring her, this is unbelievable.”
Mortega's face froze, his eyes turning cold. His face bore a mysterious expression, but Rosalina did not doubt his look. She knew he was looking at her with appreciation. Such feelings often make people lose sight of the truth.
This was the reason for her visit to Mortega today.
“I think I understand what you mean. This is a serious issue that must be handled with caution...”
“I wanted to inform His Highness personally, but since my request was not accepted, if you help me, I will be able to provide greater assistance.”
Rosalina said gently, and her words began to grow like a seed that, if grown properly, could turn rumors into reality.
“I fully understand your sincerity, and I will try to communicate with Your Highness regarding this matter.”
“Thank you, Mr. Mortega. If you hadn’t been there, I would have been in a really embarrassing situation… I would have been confused. In fact, in the Oliver Hall too…”
“Ah.”
“Maybe it was because Your Highness Evelin lost her way… I should have been closer to her. She might have been tempted with candy or chocolate, because she is a pure person.”
Rosalina maintained that her intentions were flawless. She seemed to have no intention of slandering Evelyn.
