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…-

Time passed. After the series of incidents that had disturbed the imperial palace were settled by the emperor's punishment, and the empress was enthroned and the crown prince's enthronement date was set, the palace returned to its original elegant yet appropriately busy atmosphere as if nothing had happened. Among the changes that occurred before the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, the two biggest were the abolition of the rear palace and the empress's enthronement ceremony. Kiril suddenly…-

She opened her eyes. Her shallow breathing roared loudly like the beating of her heart. It didn't take long to realize it was her own. She rolled her eyes to check the interior of the room. For a moment, she felt afraid because she couldn't recognize where she was. "Your Highness?" A familiar voice was heard. Surprised, Jeanne looked at the speaker. "Eugenie?" "Your Highness!" The woman called her with a tearful voice. Jeanne grabbed the woman's wrist as she tried to immediately inform the…

"My child." "......I was scared." Fears imprinted in childhood aren't easily forgotten even after growing up. Perhaps the Empress Dowager and Countess Meteland had abused her hoping for that very outcome. And just as they intended, Jeanne became an obedient daughter-in-law to the point of foolishness. With the word 'surrogate' that she had heard until her ears wore out in childhood etched in her mind...... Unable to express her emotions. "Jeanne." "It's stupid, isn't it?" She raised her…

Cesare stared at his sniffling son and reached out to pinch his cheek. "Father is trying to speak." At Cesare's words, Maxim drooped his shoulders with a whimper. Kiril gave his brother a warning look. Cesare found his sons adorable and smiled. A long silence enveloped them again. "Mother has gone on a journey." Even as Cesare said this, his dry lips moved slightly, finding it hard to believe himself. Jeanne's departure was a more difficult shock to bear than he had expected. His Adam's aura…

Jeanne stared at her intently before shaking her head. It had to be all of them. If not all, then none mattered. There was a saying that when you have many children, the amount of affection for each child varies, but Jeanne was different. She treasured each one equally. How could anyone ask her to choose? "I cannot choose. They are all my children......" "But there are six of them." Elaine said coldly. Jeanne stared at her mother with her lips pressed together. Her mother might only have two…

"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,…

"They look good together." Alisandra, watching her son and daughter-in-law spinning in the center of the ballroom, murmured weakly. Countess Meteland glanced at her. Although it was the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration, there was no sign anywhere of honoring the Empress Dowager. Since the emperor was officially presiding over the banquet, all of this must be the emperor's intention. Not a single emblem or flower symbolizing the Empress Dowager's family, the Albrov house, was visible. The gifts…

Time passed. The couple decided not to announce the pregnancy until it reached a stable period. They didn't want to unnecessarily disturb the palace before the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration, and they didn't want public attention during such an important time. So finally that day arrived. Jeanne was receiving preparations from her maids in front of a mirror. The Countess of Ranson, who had better taste than any other woman in the court, busily moved her hands as if playing with a doll while…

Time flew by quickly. Unlike her determination not to touch anything related to the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration, Jeanne found herself handling various chores. No. In fact, they were more than just chores. The concubines couldn't decide anything without her guidance. Even down to the list of cleaning maids managing the ballroom, they asked her to check everything, leaving Jeanne extremely tired. It wasn't physical fatigue but emotional exhaustion. Three years ago was the last time she…
