      54 Cover
      by ianthe For a while, Bershua seemed to repeat a life of going to the training ground earlier than anyone else and returning to the marquis's mansion later than anyone else. Initially, he left home with an irritated look, filled with anger toward Father, but as the grueling training continued, his face gradually showed only resignation and sighs. And Leila, having lost Bershua as a major supporter, remained out of sight in the mansion for a while. She only occasionally showed her face at dinner with…

      53 Cover
      by ianthe The servants in the house, after hearing Father's angry voice, seemed to watch carefully and then completely disappeared from Father's sight. And what caught Father's eye were me and Brother Rubert. "You two. You would have attended the banquet held after the coming-of-age ceremony." Hearing that, my brother and I nodded. "Did you hear anything there? About me, or about the dam project, or even about land-related matters." Hearing Father's words, my brother and I shook our heads. It…

      by ianthe At the voice from behind, the crown prince moved one step away from me with a regretful expression. Behind the crown prince, I could see Brother Rubert looking at us with a surprised expression. "Ah, Your Highness the Crown Prince is here too." As Brother Rubert bowed to the crown prince, the crown prince waved his hand as if to say the greeting was sufficient. "Ah.... They said the venue would be moved for a banquet after the coming-of-age ceremony.... But I didn't know Your Highness the Crown…

      by ianthe Hearing my words, Young Duke Posilia turned around with a surprised expression and quickly bent one knee to show respect to the crown prince. Seeing the young duke's actions, I also hurriedly lifted the hem of my dress and bowed. The crown prince was looking at us with a coldly hardened gaze. No, to be precise, he was looking at Young Duke Posilia with a coldly hardened gaze. Just having the crown prince's gaze directed here made it feel like all the muscles in my body were stiffening. Young…

      50 Cover
      by ianthe Brother Rubert stiffened his body in surprise when he saw Bershua and Leila attending the coming-of-age ceremony. I nudged his side slightly, signaling him to snap out of it. As we entered the banquet hall, many people approached us with smiles. "Oh, it's Lady Rowenloa and Lord Rubert. I heard you received direct invitations from His Majesty the Emperor." "Despite your young age, you've been recognized for your abilities by His Majesty the Emperor. Lady Masipacius, you must be familiar with the…

      by ianthe "That's absurd! How... how could the members of the traditional Gels Council change so easily?" Upon hearing my words, Pelena stood up abruptly from her chair, hitting the table with an expression of disbelief. Pelena took great pride in the fact that her family was a member of the Gels Council. There was no way she wouldn't relay this story to her father, Marquis Clevan. "Um... excuse me for a moment." Pelena didn't sit back down but turned around and disappeared from the tea party. She…

      by ianthe The atmosphere inside the returning carriage was extremely quiet. Brother Rubert and I were focusing only on the scenery outside the window to cool our emotions, unable to hide our excited faces, while Father was just looking alternately at Bershua and the documents with an angry face. And Bershua, while watching Father's reaction and lowering his gaze to the floor, was occasionally busy glaring at Brother Rubert as if he felt upset. Rembro and Leila hadn't exchanged a single word with the…

      47 Cover
      by ianthe Hearing the crown prince's words, I smiled awkwardly. What do I need to want for the crown prince to be at an advantage...? I don't remember having fought with the crown prince... Seeing my confused expression, the crown prince stepped back with a regretful look. "This way." So the crown prince guided me to the seat next to him. Since everyone else had already taken their seats, I had no choice but to stand next to the crown prince. "Now, everyone sit down." The emperor sat down,…

      46 Cover
      by ianthe When I returned to the residence, I saw employees busily running towards Bershua's room. And soon, several carriages seemed to enter the main gate of the residence, and the people who got off them also rushed hurriedly to Bershua's room. It seemed that Father had employed many people to educate Bershua on what he needed before going to the imperial palace. In the suddenly noisy outside, other siblings and Leila opened their doors and stared with bewildered eyes at the people rushing to Bershua's…

      by ianthe "Does this make any sense?" Eugenie's face flushed red and blue as she followed Jeanne, raising her voice. Jeanne didn't respond to her question. What could she do if it didn't make sense? Jeanne had no choice but to follow. If that was Cesare's will, it was only natural. "Jeanne." "It's His Majesty's order." "But His Majesty is your husband." "He's the emperor before that." Eugenie's contorted face slowly hardened. Jeanne didn't look at her. Despite being afternoon with the setting sun,…
