Chapter 58

 

“What? Are you trying to kick us out right now?”

 

“Who’s the highest-ranking person here!”

 

At the words telling them to leave, the maids guarding Silvia’s side flew into a rage.

 

Silvia told the two to calm down and asked composedly.

 

“His Majesty said to give me everything I want. Is that still impossible?”

 

Cold anger was contained in her nightingale-like voice.

 

However, the Madam paid no mind and stubbornly repeated the same words.

 

“Yes. I apologize.”

 

“How dare you humiliate the Princess!”

 

“Even if you’re the salon owner, there’s a difference in status!”

 

The maids guarding Silvia’s side shouted angrily and threw a tantrum.

 

As the noise grew loud enough to interfere with business, the Madam’s voice dropped a tone.

 

“I’m sorry, but I understand that while I was away, the three of you appeared without notice and demanded a private space.”

 

“That’s…”

 

“I heard from my staff that you promised to stay briefly and vacate when others came later. Isn’t that right?”

 

That was true. Having received a blank check from Glenn, Silvia was so excited that she had essentially barged into Brussels with her maids without even making a reservation.

 

If it were an ordinary salon it would be one thing, but Brussels was a premium salon.

 

It was a place with such high reputation that it once operated as a direct Imperial Court salon.

 

Because of this, Brussels Salon operated on a reservation system, meaning they would only receive clients worthy of their clothes.

 

“I’ll provide appropriate compensation later, so please show mercy.”

 

Leave while I’m asking nicely.

 

That was the meaning contained in her statement.

 

“Just who is coming that you’re being so unreasonable?”

 

Silvia, who was dumbfounded by the Madam’s attitude, pushed the maids back and stepped forward herself.

 

At that moment.

 

“It’s fine. It’s my fault for coming without notice. Let’s go to another room.”

 

A clear voice filled the 3rd floor.

 

Following the source of the sound, Silvia turned her gaze and couldn’t hide her bewilderment.

 

“Wh, why!”

 

The maids were equally flustered.

 

“The, the Seldian young lady!”

 

“Why is she in the South?”

 

This can’t be right?

 

Surely I heard that the flower of the social circle had gone missing?

 

Evelyn was famous enough that rumors spread to other countries.

 

Indescribable questions grew uncontrollably, but one thing was certain.

 

The flower of the social circle who had captivated Padcale was alive.

 

That much was an undeniable fact.

 

“We greet the flower of the social circle.”

 

The maids who had been trembling like aspen trees suddenly prostrated themselves flat on the floor, watching Evelyn’s mood. Having abandoned all dignity.

 

“Everyone, please stand up.”

 

Cool permission was granted.

 

“Thank you, Seldian young lady!”

 

“Thank you for your merciful treatment!”

 

The maids bowed repeatedly with faces full of emotion while adjusting their attire.

 

Silvia tried to call the maids due to their frivolous behavior, but they gathered their belongings and fled as fast as they could.

 

“Sorry, Princess!”

 

“See you next time!”

 

Did they just abandon me?

 

Silvia, dumbfounded by what happened in an instant, ground her teeth with a crack.

 

“Please browse comfortably.”

 

Meanwhile, Evelyn spoke kindly and turned her back.

 

“Wait a moment. Since we’ve met, let’s at least exchange greetings.”

 

I clearly won, so why do I feel like I lost to a mere princess?

 

Silvia quickly composed her expression and smiled brightly while extending her hand.

 

“I’m Silvia, the First Princess of Sibaven Kingdom.”

 

“I’m Evelyn Heteus.”

 

Evelyn, who had been about to go down the stairs, turned around and clasped Silvia’s hand.

 

“What? Heteus? Did you perhaps hit your head?”

 

As Evelyn’s introduction ended, Silvia’s eyes widened in surprise.

 

Did she come to cause trouble in the South again?

 

She had heard countless rumors about her, but seeing her in person was truly shocking beyond words.

 

No matter how much she disliked the South, there should be limits. To go so far as to use a false identity!

 

“That’s quite a harsh joke.”

 

Silvia let out a snort and mocked lightly, causing the blue eyes that held the clear sea to settle coldly.

 

“Let’s stop the games here.”

 

Evelyn, meeting Silvia’s eyes, delivered a chilling warning.

 

For a moment, Silvia couldn’t help but feel frightened.

 

Silvia, filled with fear, eventually pulled herself together and raised her voice.

 

“Ha! Who’s playing games here? You’re nothing but an imposter.”

 

Silvia, having found her ammunition, sneered and glared at Evelyn.

 

“Why exactly are you picking a fight?”

 

Cracks appeared on Evelyn’s face at Silvia’s confident attitude.

 

The maids and madam were startled and tried to restrain Evelyn as she muttered menacingly.

 

“My lady, you mustn’t!”

 

“Let’s just go, my lady!”

 

“We’ll escort you to the second floor!”

 

The three tried to take Evelyn to the second floor, but Silvia blocked their way.

 

“Stop. How dare you interrupt when nobles are talking! Know your place and don’t interfere in your master’s conversation!”

 

Silvia raised her hand and slapped Mary and Rose’s cheeks in turn.

 

Slap! The chilling sound of friction rang out repeatedly.

 

“What do you think you’re doing?”

 

Evelyn angrily embraced the maids.

 

“I gave those ignorant things some customized education.”

 

She couldn’t bring herself to lay hands on the madam who would handle the clothes, but the maids were fair game.

 

“Protecting such ill-mannered maids. Anyone watching would think you’re a benevolent saint.”

 

Silvia dusted off her hands and snorted at the sight of the maids sniffling in Evelyn’s arms.

 

Just as Silvia was about to pat Evelyn’s shoulder and pass by leisurely.

 

“Ah! What do you think you’re doing?”

 

Evelyn grabbed her wrist.

 

Silvia was shocked as her wrist was caught in an instant.

 

“Let go of this?”

 

“Repeat what you just said.”

 

Strong grip was applied to the pale white arm.

 

The intensity of pain gradually increased.

 

“Let go first!”

 

She had only uttered a few words.

 

“I said repeat what you said earlier. And what do you mean by imposter, or that I was lying.”

 

A massive tsunami choked her breath.

 

“I’m, I’m sorry.”

 

Silvia, who had turned pale, hurriedly apologized in a crawling voice, but Evelyn pressed her like a predator before its prey.

 

“I’ll accept the apology for now. But before that, I think you need to properly tell me what I was supposedly impersonating.”

 

Just as Silvia was cornered by the persistent questioning.

 

“Excuse me.”

 

A silver-haired man intervened between the two.

 

Silvia brightened at the sight of Casian appearing like a prince on a white horse.

 

“Count, Count Heteus?”

 

Could he have come to save me?

 

Silvia’s heart raced wildly at encountering this unexpected figure.

 

Casian and Silvia’s gazes collided in mid-air.

 

Casian, who looked at Silvia with an emotionless face, turned his head without a moment’s hesitation.

 

He extended his hand to Evelyn and was smiling charmingly as if nothing had happened.

 

“You should only look at beautiful things.”

 

With those words, Casian took Evelyn and left the scene.

 

Silvia, left alone, could only come to her senses after a long while.

 

‘Huh? What just happened?’

 

While it was fortunate to be freed from that ruthless woman, her thought process was completely cut off.

 

A completely incomprehensible situation had unfolded.

 

Silvia, with a frozen expression, looked down at the second floor.

 

“How about this one?”

 

“It suits you well. If I may add, rose embroidery or translucent lace would also look good.”

 

No way. Was what the princess said true?

 

Silvia, who had barely managed to breathe at the sight of the affectionate pair, trembled with her hands.

 

“Then there’s no meaning to me coming to the Empire…”

 

She had visited Padcale for trade, but she had a separate purpose.

 

Empress or Duchess.

 

She had once aimed for the position of Empress, but after seeing Glenn’s true nature, Silvia was disgusted and changed course to become a Duchess. The Duchess of Heteus.

 

“I wondered why that Emperor bastard gave me a promissory note.”

 

Now I see it meant to deal with the Princess in his place.

 

“Ha!”

 

A bitter laugh escaped her.

 

Silvia, overwhelmed by shame, ground her teeth fiercely.

 

“Crazy bastards.”

 

No matter how much I’m a princess of a vassal state. I’m still a princess of a nation!

 

Not only did they use me as a chess piece, but they gave me such great humiliation!

 

“Fine. What the Emperor wants and what I want are the same anyway.”

 

I’ll let myself be used as a chess piece.

 

Silvia, trembling with rage, composed her expression.

 

If she was going to live as a chess piece anyway, she had judged that being a Duchess was better than being an Empress who could die at any moment.

 

Supporting her trembling legs with effort, Silvia carefully extended her foot one step at a time.

 

She cautiously descended the cliff-like stairs step by step, but no one paid attention to her.

 

All eyes were focused solely on Evelyn.

 

“I won’t let this slide.”

 

Silvia, who had barely made it down to the first floor, raised her head and muttered fiercely before kicking open the door and storming out.
