22. Empress Dowager

Empress Dowager was taken aback and began to burst into laughter.

"Finally, I can see the day when my cold-hearted grandson falls in love."

However, her laughter soon transformed into a smile of sorrow.

"I used to imagine that, if you weren't born into the royal family, you could freely marry the woman you love. But those were just fantasies."

"But... I am indeed going to marry the woman I love, Grandma."

"...? What do you mean? Don't tell me... You love that tasteless girl!?"

Cassius suppressed his laughter when his grandmother referred to Eleanor as a "tasteless girl."

But he was also relieved that, out of all the rumors about Eleanor, the one his grandmother cared about was Eleanor's affection for Lucas.

If these words of Empress Dowager were heard by others, they would be astonished to hear her belittling her own grandson.

"She no longer has feelings for Lucas."
