334 The last chat

After the Royal Guards took the investigations into their hands, they found some solid proof regarding the late Emperor's death.

The Dowager Empress was sentenced to death, but her execution was held three days later, just as Alexander reminded us.

His majesty called me in his office to fire me... Well, he said it was better I focused on my family. And that my daughter was very cute.

He hopes his children will be like that.

He didn't say anything about firing me, actually, but it was rather clear.

I was paid for my services during the selection. The title of Dame wasn't withdrawn, but I've never used it, so it's no big deal for either of us. Somehow, I prefer being the Archduchess for the moment. When I reach Kyre, I'll use this title for my purposes.

For my main purpose, but for now...

«I still need to repay your efforts, Archduchess,» the Emperor declared. «Is there anything you might need?»
