Chapter 189
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
The nobles stirred greatly.
While engaged to the Crown Prince, she had spread scandals with so many men?
Moreover, the Emperor wouldn’t have brought witnesses from as far as the Academy to this official occasion just for ‘spreading mere scandals.’
In other words, at the very least.
At the very least, she must have slept with all those numerous Young Lords…
‘This isn’t just any noble’s engagement, but an engagement with the Crown Prince – that’s on a completely different level.’
‘One or two men might be understandable, but sleeping with so many men?’
‘This is tantamount to insulting the Imperial Family…’
Sophia collapsed with a thud.
Who had informed the Emperor about her relationships with those men? Who had reported her?
No, the Emperor must have had people watching her from the beginning!
Trembling violently, Sophia called that name ‘without disgust’ for the first time in her life.
“Fe, Ferdi…”
It was just a moment. Sophia had a dream. Ferdinand, who had been standing straight before her all along, turned to look at Sophia. The dream continued just like that.
That Ferdinand would pretend not to know everything, embrace her with a generous heart, save her as before, and forgive her as the faithful fiancé he had always been…
Such a…
Dream.
But Ferdinand’s cold eyes merely lingered on Sophia for just a brief moment.
“Did I ever give you permission to use my name.”
Sophia felt a chilling coldness and trembled violently. Even after Aubrey had struck her cheek so hard that it bled.
* * *
‘Oh my.’
What was to be done about the banquet that the Empress had prepared so desperately ending in such a half-hearted manner?
A grand banquet attended by all the notable power holders of the Empire. Empress Carmi must have had to pour her heart and soul into it, even if reluctantly.
Thanks to that, the banquet’s decorations were all distinctive, and the food and drinks were all precious items.
But…
No one would remember Empress Carmi’s efforts.
‘Now that banquet will only be remembered as the gossip venue of the century.’
As the annulment of Sophia and the Crown Prince’s engagement was discussed, the banquet suddenly turned into complete chaos.
The Emperor turned away with a furious expression, and the same went for the Crown Prince and Grandfather.
With guests leaving the palace one after another, could the Male Leads be any different?
‘I also returned straight to the mansion with Father.’
I heard that Carmi had even invited a famous foreign orchestra to impress the Emperor, but in the end, only the palace servants heard that performance.
‘Actually, if it weren’t for me, Sophia would have faced a miserable death, but she’ll probably never know that fact for the rest of her life.’
The annulment between Sophia and Ferdinand truly caused high society to buzz.
Thanks to being the owner of the bustling shop called Baektul Salon, and thanks to Sophia being a young lady of the Frazier family, I heard those rumors faster and more reliably than anyone else.
“Lady Tulia.”
That’s when Adel entered my study. She closed the door properly and asked quietly.
“What should we do with Young Lord Tedrick’s seal?”
“Ah. I plan to return it later. Leave it here.”
I held Tedrick’s seal up to the sunlight.
How peaceful.
Everyone would be this peaceful.
Even Tedrick, who was being worked harshly in that frontier.
‘Sigh. That kid needs to suffer a bit to come to his senses.’
This was all an arrangement for that scoundrel Tedrick’s sake. I thought so as I sipped my tea.
‘He probably doesn’t even know his seal has disappeared.’
Let alone the fact that his seal was used to report Sophia’s early infidelity to the Emperor.
‘Still, thanks to that, I prevented the baron’s family from being completely ruined, so he should be grateful to me.’
Who is Tulia?
Isn’t she truly a bloodline of the Grand Duke Frazier House?
Even though Sophia’s honor was shattered, I prevented one affiliated minor family from being destroyed for insulting the Imperial Family.
This was also something that deviated from the original route of .
In the game, Sophia’s sordid acts escalated greatly, causing tremendous damage to the Frazier family as well…
I sealed Tedrick’s seal away properly again and rested my chin on the back of my hand.
‘Ferdinand is truly remarkable.’
He had no particular interest in Sophia. Even without interest, because Sophia was his fiancée, he always did his best.
So he never fooled around either.
But Sophia…
Was having affairs with dozens of men…
This time, when Ferdinand petitioned the Emperor for annulment, he gave only one reason.
That it was because of his own change of heart.
Actually, it was an unfavorable reason. As Ferdinand’s curse was lifted, his value would skyrocket beyond belief.
Just as people curse when a struggling scholar abandons his devoted wife after passing the civil service exam, Ferdinand’s actions could very well be viewed unfavorably by others.
Since Sophia was an adopted daughter from a retainer family, if someone had seized on this fact, it would have dealt considerable damage to Ferdinand’s reputation.
‘But he only said it was his change of heart.’
How strange.
Didn’t he have other grounds for annulment?
The words Sophia had uttered without hesitation.
‘Cripple, monster, disgusting.’
He could have easily obtained annulment using that incident as grounds.
It didn’t seem like Ferdinand refrained from mentioning that incident for Sophia’s honor.
Rather…
‘It seemed like he just didn’t want to throw filth on the Frazier family.’
This wasn’t a judgment I made from hearing stories somewhere.
‘I had attached Kim Ddongbyeol to Grandfather.’
I wasn’t qualified to attend the emergency noble council meeting so I couldn’t see it, but I was too curious to help it!
Thanks to Kim Ddongbyeol, I could vividly watch the council meeting from beginning to end.
So I could continuously observe Ferdinand.
So…
That’s what I thought.
Though it’s speculation without evidence, anyway. Anyway.
“Now that they’ve annulled their engagement too.”
I lifted my chin to look at the calendar hanging on the wall. Actually, the calendar didn’t mean much.
‘When is Coriko going to appear?’
So this was quite troublesome.
I scratched my head for no reason. My pink hair tangled sweetly like sugar crystals shimmering with flower dye.
‘Even though I played That Dense Bread like crazy…’
Even though it was a game where Coriko was the female protagonist…
The intro always started as follows.
-On a certain special day, a beautiful girl appeared.
So on some special day, Coriko enters the Grand Duke Frazier House as a prospective daughter-in-law and the game begins!
The problem was that now that I had become Tulia, I couldn’t get a sense of when that day would be!
‘Shouldn’t she appear soon? Huh? Originally, Ferdinand should also grow up after Coriko appears, right?’
She hasn’t already appeared somewhere, has she?
I felt a chill.
“Right.”
Coriko’s real male lead is Lisian anyway, right?
Then she might have already appeared before Lisian who’s at the Academy right now!
I bolted upright from my seat.
Why didn’t I think of this? I thought I should immediately send a letter to the Academy to check, when.
Knock knock.
After a polite knock, Adel entered. Even with Ruk.
It’s rare for those siblings to come together…
‘What is it?’
“Adel? Ruk? What’s going on?”
“Lady Tulia. Well…”
Adel and Ruk looked at each other. After finishing their eye contact exchange, Adel nodded lightly and stepped forward.
“My lady.”
Adel looked at me, full of questions, and spoke in her usual calm tone.
“Several minor pieces of news have arrived one after another. Which would you like to hear first?”
“Minor pieces of news? What kind? Good news or bad news?”
“For you, my lady, it’s good news, but…”
Adel made a slightly troubled expression.
“His Grace the Grand Duke and the Marquis wouldn’t be too pleased with this news.”
“…What is it?”
Did someone propose to me or something?
“Well, you see.”
The stories that followed were not minor stories at all.
