There was a separate entrance to the Empress Palace for carriages from the principle palace. Lyle, getting back from the primary trial towards Duke Lance, seemed again pondering that the second entrance to the Empress’s Palace was someway noisy.

“… … Is Empress nonetheless in her residence?”

“Evidently visitors got here and talked for some time.”

On the phrases of the servant, Lyle nodded.

He had requested the Duke of Card to take care of Medea, understanding Luke would come as a substitute. In contrast to the Duke of Card, he appeared to have a particular affection for his sister.

Lyle was realizing that her father had little interest in Medea. He had beforehand thought that Medea had solely distanced himself from the Duke with a purpose to win his favor, however was solely now studying that he was not form to Medea.

Regular mother and father would go and verify on their daughters not less than as soon as after their youngster uncovered an assisination try in their very own palace. A traditional dad or mum would go discover the emperor and demand solutions and ask him what’s occurring.

Her father wasn’t a low-ranking aristocrat who could be scared to realize the eye of the emperor. As an alternative, the very first thing he requested was, ‘Did the kid miscarry?’ Though he was apprehensive about Medea, his response to prioritizing the unborn youngster in her womb was odd.

It was after that interplay, Lyle was ready to have a look at the actions of Duke Card with completely different eyes.

In Lyle’s childhood he had not less than a mom, however it occurred to him that Medea had nobody.

The day he first met Medea, Lyle was additionally younger, so he didn’t discover her scenario. Wanting again by his now grown-up eyes, the Duke’s gaze in direction of his daughter was filled with indifference.

There was a pang of guilt. However what good was it to remorse now? He didn’t know what to do… … He even felt somewhat sorry for Medea. Even so, her actions weren’t justified.

‘I cannot be tied to outdated ache and restrain myself from loving you.’

He went by the hall of the Empress Palace and entered the drawing room the place Medea was. She was already knowledgeable by her handmaiden that the trial could be executed by now.

“Your Majesty.”

Medea rose from her seat and greeted him with a shiny smile. When Lyle noticed that determine, the tiny lump he felt in his throat had melted away.

“You didn’t wait lengthy, did you?”

He approached and kissed Medea’s brow. Feeling pampered in his arms, she mentioned,

“It was not lengthy once I heard you have been coming.”

“That’s a aid,”

he remarked and glanced at her maids and attendants. They quietly bowed their heads and left the drawing room with out a sound.

Listening to the door closing, the 2 went to the couch and sat down.

“The Duke of Lance… … ?”

“He nonetheless insists on his innocence.”

The proof was strong, as he had been captured earlier than he had the prospect to eliminate the proof. However Duke Lance appeared satisfied that he had a gap by which he may escape. Or was he anticipating somebody to assist him escape?

“Though most of his energy has been misplaced as a result of this incident, the trial can be extended as a result of he’s distantly associated to the imperial household.”

Archduke Rowendale by no means returned from exile, so the one choice left to avoid wasting the Duke was to have him escape from jail.

However they weren’t as silly because the Duke of Lance.

“Within the meantime, he would possibly attempt to homicide the Duke in jail.”

“I believe so too.”

The duke was a simple man to control to do one’s bidding however he was not essential for Archduke Rowendal plans. Due to this fact, assassination is essentially the most handy and rational selection.

‘For now, Lyle assigned safety, however… … Even should you die, it’s not unhealthy. It’d alert the Marquis of Bermon that in the event that they aspect with the Archduke they’ll find yourself just like the Duke of Lance.’

If it’s a novel, it’s a conspiracy that got here out to start with, so it was almost definitely that the offender couldn’t be caught and the Duke of Lance could be murdered in jail. The unavoidable plot of romance fantasy.

‘I do know who the ultimate villain is, however I can’t eliminate him but! What a disgrace!’

Medea frowned as she recalled Archduke Rowendal could be receiving experiences on the scenario in exile.

Archduke Rowendale didn’t seem till lengthy after Medea’s funeral.

Nevertheless, Seira, the principle character, has already come to the capital, and a plot from the unique has additionally surfaced. Archduke Rowendale could have additionally felt the specter of Medea’s being pregnant and was now decided to quickly return to the capital.

On this case, Seira was of no assist apart from discovering the spies who infiltrated the Empress’s Palace. It was additionally the half that she paid consideration to as a result of the principle character had an excellent sense however was not Seira’s energetic half within the unique novel.

In a world the place Seira remains to be the principle character, issues will in all probability proceed to occur. In spite of everything, this world can be transferring to carry up Seira.

“The Empress, what ideas are maintaining you preoccupied in entrance of me?”

“Ah, that… … Archduke Rowendal! Since Duke Lance failed, I’m questioning if he’ll consider coming again… … .”

“If it’s my uncle, he could be planning as a lot.”

Lyle was satisfied that he had been scheming to return from his exile from the start. Even within the worst case of the Duke of Lance accusing him, he puzzled if he had purposely gone into exile to make an alibi that he was unable to instigate the Duke.

“Even so, it isn’t one thing the Empress ought to fear about proper now. For now, all you should take into consideration is your well being and our youngster who will develop up,”

Lyle mentioned softly as he hugged her waist. Medea laughed.

“What about your Majesty?”

“I can maintain myself.”

“Your Majesty additionally takes care of me.”

Medea smiled, pondering she was lovable he poked the tip of her nostril with affection.

“Can’t Emperor not less than maintain three folks? All of the folks of the Empire relaxation on this shoulder.”

“So I’ve to maintain your Majesty. As a result of everybody will depend on it.”

When she spoke with an enormous bashful smile, there was a wierd look in Lyle’s eyes.

Uhm? That look in your eyes is acquainted?
