#90

 

The moment I realized what was happening, my vision spun around and I found myself caught in his arms.

 

“What do you think you’re doing! Let go of me right now!”

 

When I tried to shake off his hands, Aldor instead threw me down on the floor as if discarding me and climbed on top of me.

 

The pain I felt in my back and the weight pressing down from above made me gasp for breath. My vision became dizzy.

 

“Get off… me right now.”

 

“Why should I do that?”

 

“Prince Hutton!”

 

“In a situation like this, it would be better if you called me Aldor affectionately rather than stiffly calling me Prince Hutton.”

 

What kind of nonsensical talk was this?

 

Not feeling it was worth arguing back, I tried to push him away, but he didn’t budge like a massive support beam.

 

Of course he wouldn’t. He was a man and a naval officer besides.

 

He was far superior to me in physical aspects.

 

“Please move aside, Prince.”

 

Wanting to escape somehow, I threw away my pride and pleaded, but he didn’t even pretend to listen to my words.

 

Riiip-

 

“Kyaah!”

 

My delicate clothing tore helplessly under his brutal force.

 

My shoulder exposed to the cold air trembled finely. If it had torn a little more, my chest would have been completely visible.

 

I hurriedly covered my exposed shoulder. My face grew hot with shame, embarrassment, and fear of what might be done to me.

 

It felt like tears would burst out at any moment.

 

I can’t cry. I don’t want to cry in front of a man like this.

 

I bit the soft flesh inside my mouth mercilessly and held back my tears.

 

“That face looks good on you.”

 

His hot breath and wet tongue swept across my earlobe.

 

“I’d like to see an even more dizzying expression than now – will you show me?”

 

His hand boldly dug under my skirt and groped my legs.

 

“I, I am His Majesty the Emperor’s representative!”

 

I grabbed his arm that was groping my legs and cried out desperately.

 

“Do you think you’ll be safe after doing this to me, Prince!”

 

“Heh.”

 

Why… is he laughing?

 

“Are you saying you’ll report what happened here to His Majesty the Emperor?”

 

“Of, of course…”

 

“Then Princess, you won’t be able to continue that precious advisor job of yours.”

 

…What?

 

“Think about it, Princess. Would His Majesty the Emperor really want to keep a tainted Princess by his side?”

 

I was speechless. I couldn’t boldly say he was wrong because what he said was true.

 

In the past, Countess Tebesa had let the matter between Andante and me slide despite her displeasure for this very reason.

 

Because a tainted noble lady couldn’t be put on the marriage market.

 

Though that incident was buried, it still remained as a great fear in my heart.

 

“Besides, do you think His Majesty the Emperor would believe your words?”

 

“Do you think they’ll believe your words?”

 

Suddenly Andante’s voice echoed and memories of that rough and merciless day came flooding back, making my body stiffen.

 

“Say whatever you want.”

 

Aldor rubbed his filthy lips against my hand that was gripping his arm as he spoke.

 

“His Majesty will believe my father’s and my words more than yours anyway.”

 

His confident face was exactly like Andante’s.

 

Andante had also said this with that same expression.

 

That they would never believe my words. That they would naturally believe his words instead.

 

I had thought it wouldn’t be so, that it couldn’t happen, but everything went exactly as Andante had said.

 

People didn’t believe my words. Even when I cried out that it wasn’t true, it was useless.

 

Everyone only believed Andante’s words and pointed fingers at me, calling me an immodest and shameless woman.

 

Would His Majesty… do the same?

 

Would he only believe Aldor’s words instead of mine?

 

Having already experienced something similar once, my doubts grew like a snowball.

 

Thinking that Kalian might do that, all strength drained from my body and I became helpless. Tears I couldn’t hold back poured out.

 

“Oh my, you shouldn’t cry already when we haven’t even started yet.”

 

Aldor smiled coldly and wiped away the tears flowing down my cheeks.

 

When I turned my head sharply to reject his touch, I saw the long blue necklace.

 

The spirit stone necklace that Kalian had given me as a gift before.

 

“Leilah.”

 

“I think you’ll be able to do it sufficiently.”

 

“I trust you that much too.”

 

Ah, what was I thinking just now?

 

His Majesty said he would trust me, yet I was doubting His Majesty.

 

Could there be any greater disloyalty than this?

 

If I get to see him again, I must apologize for this.

 

The hand that had been caressing my legs had now moved up to my thighs. It was a creepy touch like a snake crawling up.

 

Just moments ago, I couldn’t think of any way to escape this situation, but now it was different.

 

A definite method came to mind.

 

I mustered all my strength to push him away and then gripped the necklace tightly.

 

“Transform!”

 

When I shouted the activation word, the arm holding the necklace became as thick as an orc’s forearm.

 

Thwack-!

 

I swung that arm with all my might.

 

Whether it wasn’t just a physical transformation but also increased strength, the moment Aldor flew far away and crashed into the wardrobe.

 

Bang-!

 

Someone roughly kicked open the door and entered.

 

“Count Tebesa!”

 

One of them was Diane.

 

“…”

 

The other was Hilltain.

“The young master has entered the room.”

 

At the servant’s report, Baron Hutton smiled with satisfaction and drank his champagne.

 

Having Aldor give Leilah high-proof champagne, then having a servant take her to Aldor’s room while she was drunk – it was all Baron Hutton’s plan.

 

A plan to make Leilah Aldor’s wife.

 

The fact that Leilah was the Emperor’s representative was slightly concerning, but he had prepared perfect countermeasures for that too.

 

So there was nothing to worry about. All that remained was for Aldor and Leilah to successfully spend the night together.

 

“Report to me as soon as Aldor comes out.”

 

Baron Hutton repeatedly instructed the servant and leisurely enjoyed the party.

 

In his mind, he even had pleasant thoughts about when would be good to hold the wedding ceremony.

 

Once she gets married, she won’t be able to work as the Emperor’s advisor anymore.

 

There’s nothing good about a woman doing outside work.

 

It was when Baron Hutton had emptied about two glasses of champagne.

 

“M-Master!”

 

A servant came running frantically.

 

Baron Hutton frowned and looked at the servant, disturbed by his unusual behavior.

 

“What’s the matter?”

 

“S-Something terrible has happened!”

 

The servant shouted urgently without even catching his breath properly.

 

“His Majesty the Emperor’s knight has appeared and says he will punish Young Master Aldor!”

 

“What? Punishment!”

 

What kind of nonsensical talk was this?

 

No, more than that, His Majesty the Emperor’s knight.

 

At those words, Baron Hutton thought of the Crowd Knights.

 

The notorious knight order without blood or tears, moving only for the Empire’s Emperor.

 

Could it be that they had come?

 

That couldn’t be. There were no Crowd Knight members on the diplomatic mission list.

 

But what bothered him was the strange presence he had felt once each time he met Leilah.

 

Could it be… that Crowd Knight members were secretly escorting Leilah?

 

An ominous premonition ran down his spine.

 

“Guide me there immediately!”

 

Baron Hutton immediately rushed to Aldor’s room where they were.

 

In front of Aldor’s room, it was already bustling with people who had come after hearing the news.

 

They stepped aside when Baron Hutton approached.

 

“Father!”

 

Aldor, who spotted Baron Hutton, called out to him desperately.

 

Baron Hutton glanced disapprovingly at Aldor, who was sitting pathetically on the floor, then looked at Hilltain standing beside him.

 

He had thought Crowd Knight members might have come, but who would have expected it to be Hilltain, the knight commander himself.

 

‘Is she really not the Emperor’s mistress?’

 

Unless the Emperor had gone mad, he wouldn’t have assigned the knight commander as an escort for a mere advisor.

 

If Leilah was really the Emperor’s mistress, things had become complicated.

 

He had an ominous feeling that something had gone terribly wrong, but it was already spilled water. There was no turning back.

 

Baron Hutton was flustered by the completely unexpected situation, but pretended not to be as he spoke.

 

“I don’t know what’s going on, but could you release my son first?”

 

“Rather than asking to release your son, shouldn’t understanding the situation come first, Your Lordship?”

 

A sharp voice came from inside the room. It was Diane.

 

Next to Diane, he could see Leilah with a blanket draped over her shoulders.

 

When Leilah made eye contact with Baron Hutton, she startled and averted her gaze. Her hunched shoulders trembled finely.

 

Judging by Leilah’s reaction, it seemed like this matter could be buried if handled well.

 

Diane and Hilltain were annoying, but one was a noble from another country and one was a commoner rumored to be mute.

 

So Baron Hutton judged that he just needed to handle Leilah well and spoke to his butler.

 

“Dismiss the people.”

 

“Yes, Master.”

 

After the butler dismissed the people, Baron Hutton closed the door and approached Leilah.

 

“Oh my, I failed to look after things properly. If you don’t mind, could you tell me what happened, Count Tebesa?”

 

Instead of answering, Leilah gripped the blanket she was wearing tightly and curled up her body.

 

Diane blocked Leilah’s front and shouted.

 

“Count Tebesa is still unable to speak properly due to shock. So please ask that young master over there about the situation, Your Lordship.”

 

How dare she give advice so impudently.

 

Baron Hutton had disliked Diane intensely from the moment he first saw her.

 

If she had been a noble of the Empire rather than a foreign noble, he would have issued a stern reprimand.

 

However, since she was a foreign noble and it wouldn’t benefit him in the current situation, Baron Hutton backed down obediently.

 

“I made a mistake. This is my first time experiencing such a thing, so please understand.”

 

Baron Hutton emphasized the part about it being the first time and looked at Aldor.

 

“Aldor, what happened?”

 

“I’m being wronged, Father!”

 

Aldor launched into excuses as if he had been waiting.

 

“I came out in the middle of the party and returned to my room, and Princess Tebesa was lying on my bed!”

 

Aldor continued speaking while glaring at Leilah with bloodshot eyes.

 

“So naturally I thought she wanted to get along with me and acted accordingly, but the Princess suddenly started acting like a victim and is framing me as a sexual assailant!”</Human: You are an ELITE PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATOR for Korean web novels (COMMERCIAL QUALITY).
