Hearing my brother's words, Detrian dismissed all the people around, and my brother only began speaking after making absolutely sure there was no one outside the door. "While cleaning up the underground business that the Masipacius family had been involved in, I was able to hear various rumors... among them were many rumors related to Her Majesty the Empress. I ignored most of them, thinking they were just rumors, but this particular one seemed somewhat credible, so..." Even as he spoke, my brother…-

"Wow, I didn't know Caramel Factory had a place like this!" Caramel Factory was already popular, but after bringing in lots of new coffee and tea varieties, it became even more crowded. It was to the point where it was almost impossible to get a table without making a reservation in advance. "Were you this close with Countess Meilon?" "Well... the countess is not only a good friend but also a good business partner. Most of Arme Trading Company's tea-related products became known to the public…

One week until the trial of the marquis and Leila. There's no evidence they can fabricate within that time. Other families have already begun to turn their backs on them, and Rubert, my older brother, is handling all the illegal activities the Masipacius family has been involved in. Veltune confessed everything with his own mouth, so he's headed to prison for several years. What I need to do now is to bring down the Velly Trading Company, which is the empress's source of funds. Bringing down…

"Miss Rowenloa. If you ever need my help, please tell me anytime. I am unconditionally on your side." Seeing my serious expression, Heris firmly held my hand and spoke with sparkling eyes. I couldn't help but smile at her. "Thank you." Heris had apparently fallen in love with the splendid imperial palace when she visited with me after putting Pelena in her place and responding to the empress's summons. She continued intense training with a teacher to join the imperial knights and was…

"Th-that's impossible...!" Veltune stood up in disbelief and approached the judge. The knights tried to stop him, but the judge gestured for them to stand down and showed the document to him. Veltune reached out to snatch the document, but the judge quickly pulled his hand back and said, "The perpetrator's hands should not touch the evidence." Hearing those words, Veltune stared blankly for a long time at the words 'Leila Masipacius' written on the document. After blinking several times…

Detrian sighed and looked at me with dejected eyes. I flashed him a smile mixed with embarrassment. "Alright. I'll explain." Detrian nodded at my words. "No matter what you say, I can't just set fires here and there without knowing the reason..." I gave him a sheepish laugh. "It would be strange if the room is intact but only the safe is open. I wanted to create a situation where the safe naturally opened due to an explosion by leaving traces of fire." He nodded as if he understood and…

Detrian looked at me as if he didn't quite understand my actions. "I mean, what's the point of changing it to Leila's name?" I continued to focus on writing Leila's name. "If the marquis gave this large sum to Veltune in Leila's name, what do you think people would think?" While Detrian knew better than anyone about what happened inside the imperial palace, he didn't seem to immediately grasp what happened outside. "In the Gellions Empire, when two people promise to marry, the family to…

Veltune was smarter than expected. The documents he forged had no flaws. He cleverly connected the money received from the Masipacius family to Gelean, making it appear as if the marquis had ordered the kidnapping through Veltune from the beginning. "Hmm......" I fell into deep thought as I looked at the documents he had forged. The fact that I had obtained these materials before the trial began also meant that Veltune would have no way to counter if I manipulated these documents without his…

And so the marquis and Leila seemed to be taken to the basement for questioning, while Bershua, who had been taken away for insulting the imperial family, apologized over and over in there and was finally able to return to the residence today, two days later. When I sent someone to inquire, I learned that Rembro had left on another journey, almost like fleeing, after everyone except himself had been taken to the imperial palace. But he would have to return soon. Bershua wasn't kind enough to send…

We headed to the palace and waited for the knights to search my room. After waiting for some time, the knights who had completed the search returned and handed a report to the knight commander who was sitting. The knight commander, after reading the report, glanced at me and Rubert, then sighed. "It's true." As soon as the knight commander finished speaking, the marquis snatched the report from his hand. He then scanned the report with a sharp gaze before sighing and slamming it down on the…
