Lumiere followed Karl and set foot for the first time in the secret room connected to the king's bedroom. The inside was cozier than she expected, and sunlight entered quite well. What was somewhat unusual was that there were doors on all four sides of the room. It was filled with the smell of medicines, and in one corner was a large sofa that seemed to be used as a bed.

Maria sobbed bitterly as she voiced her grievances. Although the only people listening were the five or six maids helping with her preparations, she had to vent her unjust feelings somewhere or she wouldn't be able to bear it. At this rate, she would be crying not only during the preparations but also throughout her entrance to the wedding hall. Lindsay, Maria's personal maid, settled at Maria's knees with a towel soaked in warm water. She wiped Maria's wet face with gentle hands and spoke in a…

* * * "It seems you were waiting for me, Your Majesty." The king, still wearing his nightgown, leaned against the window frame, looking outside. In the dim room, he looked very comfortable and warm in the only spot where sunlight entered. Seeing him like that made Landers's insides twist even more. To think he could be so leisurely while throwing his family into this kind of cesspool. The king took a sip of the wine he was holding and muttered lightly as if talking to himself. "I saw you…

"Are you alright, Lumiere?" Lumiere slowly raised her head to look at her lover who asked with tenderness. Today was an important day, so Karl had also slipped out of the palace with difficulty. Even though it would only be for a few hours while the performance was held, she felt simply delighted to see her lover outside for once. 'Looking at him like this, he does seem quite similar......' She briefly traced the elderly gentleman's face she had seen earlier in her lover's face. The shape…

An elderly gentleman with a large build was smiling kindly at her. "It's a very beautiful mansion." Lumiere found herself staring blankly at the approaching elderly gentleman. Broad shoulders and a robust build. Neatly combed graying hair. The elderly gentleman was so stylish that it was difficult to guess his age from his appearance. His somewhat exotic feel added to his mystique. Above all, those golden eyes that resembled someone greatly caught Lumiere's attention. "How did you…

"What?" Schultz anxiously lifted the curtain covering the carriage window slightly to peek outside. Indeed, about twenty people were approaching his carriage. At the forefront stood a middle-aged woman with a headband around her forehead. The woman shouted while holding a rotten egg in her hand. "Give me back my son! Bring my son back to life!" Splat! The rotten egg the woman threw hit Schultz's carriage. "No, have these people gone mad......!" Until now, no one had protested in…

At Schultz's instruction, Landers had a servant hang a paper on the wall. On the large paper, which was big enough to hide Landers' body, these words were written in bold, powerful letters: The framework of the story wasn't much different from the previous poster. The problem was the words written at the very end. [......Then what about those who enjoy privileges with fabricated bloodlines? Can they truly claim to be noble? Their actions from beginning to end are utterly…
