Chapter 10

"Of course, even if there is a buddha, the duke's other daughter may come. Isn't it a solid bond?"

The empress said sonically. Leopold's mate was to become an unconditional Imperial friend. The most honorable seat, the seat to die withered at the same time trapped in the empress's seat. The heartless father who brought his daughter to the place where everyone hid my daughter was the duke. The precious youngest daughter is an ice-like man who has hidden his illegitimate son, who has turned over the empire. So the duke will move as I wish, like a horse on a chessboard.

"Let's go."

Everyone knew that consent was omitted before the duke's words. The empress threw a mixture of laughter at the duke's back.

"Good-bye. Duke. No matter what others say, we're on the same side."

In the back parlor, a loud laugh spread. The duke, Giovanni Madelaine, honed it. Olivia. What the hell is she doing to make the Empress feed Esela? I had to go to the mansion. Before he spoils things further. . . . Frightened as the duke went out, Countess Cheiz fell to the floor.

"Lungs, your majesty. I really didn't. Please believe."

"I want to believe it's not you, either."

As soon as she heard a voice of disapproval, Countess Chaise flashed her head as if she had found a stem of hope.

"But what do I do."

"Lungs, your majesty?"

"There are a lot of signs for you, and I can't pretend to be Madeline while I'm bearing you. Isn't it?"

"...."

"I'll be tired of coming up to the islands, so I'll go down to Chus and Chases again."

Everything was fixed. The Empress waved her hand lightly towards the outgoing Countess Cheise. When the door closed, the empress laughed again like a girl.

"It was fun. You're scared of the servant. That's how menial."

The tip of the Empress's eyes narrowed. It's half way, but it's Madeleines, isn't it? Hyped. Yeah, it's half way. It won't mix anywhere.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it. Your majesty."

The most entourage of the sisters-in-law, the Marquis of Offem, smiled and applied balm to the Empress's hand. The Marquis of Offem, who had identified the loose Empress's eyes, said that he now remembered them.

"By the way, Ethel Young-ae is not normal. You dare to impersonate your highness."

"This time it was a little dangerous. Really, if your majesty hadn't given me grace, that lovely face would have crumpled."

"But. Your majesty is amazing. How did you know that you sent your sister-in-law?"

The empress smiled generously and recalled Maria Ethel. Taiza's lover with lovely looks. It was a shame that I couldn't raise it as a Taejabi as the same aristocrat, but I didn't know I would weave a fun plate with my feet like this.

"Maria Ethel Young-ae asked for a card."

　 I remember what the sister-in-law had said when she planted it in the Taeja Palace. It was a matter of time for Maria Ethel to make sense of me, because she covered it so heavily once. The Empress hummed and looked down at my nails. It's time to refresh your nails. A little longer, a little sharper. * * * I saw the servant looking up through the window. The carriage departed slowly. Countess Cheiz is said to have exited. In a few days, her wife will return to the manor again. Like the way the Empress always used it. As usual, Olivia would have pretended not to know. But, more than ever with Madeleines. I had to tell my father about this. I don't know if it's my job. My father would be angry if it were for Madelaine, who loved his life like his life. Maybe, really maybe. Wouldn't you be a little angry for me. Olivia laughed. No, I had a bigger heart, but I had an unavoidable expectation. Whatever happened, I had a reason to talk to my father a little bit. Olivia looked out of the window with a bright face and was startled. And he knocked on the coachman's window.

"Stand there for a while."

"Lady!"

When the carriage slowed down and stopped completely, Sally loudly called Olivia and climbed into the carriage.

"How did you get here? I know how to give here."

"Lady, that's not what matters now."

Sally Field spat out her breath. Olivia felt an image in Sally's nervous face.

"What's going on?"

"Your excellency has found the lady!"

Olivia's heart beat thump - thump - thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump. My father's search for me was the first thing I heard since I came to Madeleinega. * * * In front of the dark oak door, Olivia breathed. Father's parlor. A place that had been forbidden to me for 14 years. He raised his clenched fist and knocked on the door.

"Olivia."

The door opened, which seemed not to open. The duke stood in front of a large window over the sunset. The glow was so strong that I could not see the Duke's face. Unable to see what she was looking at, Olivia clenched her fist once and loosened it. The parlor was serene. Olivia took a step further, pressing her hand near her pounding heart. Where did my father hear it? Did you hear how I responded. Not knowing where to talk, Olivia hesitated for a moment and removed her lips.

"Oh, Arbor."

"Taejabi."

Olivia cut her horse's waist, and Chadic's voice fell. The duke looked straight down at Olivia. The face was as cold as an ice field as the glow.

"It would be Taejabi, just one of those things."

Once, a sharp voice, and another gaze that is not as much as a hair of affection. Stabbed Olivia.

"You can't keep one of them, so you want to turn that scandal over, and you want to turn it over cheeky?"

"That's not it."

It was clear that there was something wrong.

"I heard that the Empress sent a comforting gift to you, who are always alone. But only when you see the card in there, do you threaten the servant? And do you think you really deserve to be a prince?"

A silent voice sharply attacked Olivia, but Olivia was rather set on her mind. Now my father, was misunderstanding me.

"It wasn't just a card. It was a card that purported to be from his highness the Prince, and insulted Madelaine."

"Why did that insult Madelaine?"

"Yes?"

"Didn't you hear? I asked you why you insulted Madelaine."

The shaped purple eyes were as numb as if they were left. Olivia choked as if she had been stabbed deep in the lungs. It was a really, really long time to see my father. Every morning I looked at my face and frowned, and I never called him into the parlor, but that was because my efforts had not yet reached my father. My father brought me here, still alone. I was able to stay with my wonderful wife for a while, I was able to meet my brother and sister, I was able to wear a pretty silk dress, I was able to eat delicious food, and I was able to eat delicious food... Oh, that's right. He seated himself next to Leopold, the most precious seat. My father knew that I liked Leopold. She said it was a precious seat that she would not sit in if she were not a princess of Madelaine. The more you count, the more reason you count.

"I, too,"

Somehow, her voice shook, and Olivia clenched her fist.

"I'm Madeline, too."

His voice trembled as he burst out toward the duke. As the Duke stared stupidly at Olivia, Olivia realized.

"If you want to claim to be Madeleines, be straight as Madeleines."

That there is still a line between my father and me.

"Do it straight. Such dirty rumors. Don't drag me back to Madelaine again."

Shirin's eyes, the words that hate me as if everything was my fault. All this was the same situation as my childhood, where I couldn't say anything with my arms held. Either then or now, there was only one thing I could say. Olivia muttered a little as she squeezed.

"... I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't."

"You're not doing anything,and those rumors cover you?"

"... Yes."

"So, what did you do at the Taejang Palace?"

"That's it, just."

…...It was my effort to protect Madelaine. Even if I'm ignored, Madelaine is a place I shouldn't be. I thought if I kept Madelaine together, I would be close to my father. The duke looked down at Olivia. All I wanted was one bone, ten bones away.

"... Get out."

The duke looked at Olivia as if he were tired. Olivia turned and stared blankly into the parlor. Every time I looked at the Oak door, I wondered what was here. The portrait on the fireplace was as it was painted 14 years ago, before I came in. The bright-smiling duchess, the sweet father, and Conrad and Jade, who smile like brats. There was a fairy-like Ecella.

　 It's like the years have gone by, and it's like it was 14 years ago. Just because you're full of hate for me. Olivia consciously breathed. It was breathtaking. . . . I don't know how you came up to the room. Lying on the bed in a dress, Olivia looked at the ceiling. The silk canopy full of gorgeous lace is sliding and looking all over the place is priceless. The hollow was empty. Did you filter dinner. Olivia shook her head and buried her face back in the bed. A square quilt wrapped his cheek coolly. With all the sound gone, Olivia just thought that what I wanted was very little. Even if you don't have enough affection for anything like a servant. Labored. Or well done. I hoped I could hear that much. At least. I thought my best, hiding my trembling hands, was worth that much. Olivia raised her hand. And I thought. I was glad I kept wearing the gloves I received from the man. At least, he didn't see a tremor of his hand. You saw the gorgeous glistening gloves first. Then Olivia laughed pussily. In retrospect, my father can't see the tremor of my hand. I thought so, and I laughed. Olivia laughed aloud. When that big laugh broke out. Olivia's face was a little distorted, and she was covered in a quilt. Without a leaking sound, Olivia's back quivered thinly. * * * A winning banquet hall full of hands that fit like a pair. Olivia Madelaine was alone today. The nobles glanced at the Princess Madelaine with gentle laughter.

"No, what do you think of being alone dressed like a partner like that?"

"That's what I mean. I'd rather not dress him. I'm not advertising that Ethel Young-ae has taken his highness."

It was as the nobles said. Leopold, dressed in a red uniform, was next to Maria Ethel in a pink dress. Not next to Olivia in a red dress, fitted with a red uniform and a partner's suit. I made eye contact with Leopold, who was far away. One side of Leopold's mouth went up. Painted with a stunning smile and a slouching yet attractive attitude. Leopold takes care of Olivia too well. So this was so easy. Being with Maria Ethel, everything that happened at the Prince's Palace. Olivia looked ahead as if nothing had happened. If you think it wasn't like that, it wasn't really like that. Otherwise, it seemed to encroach on this sense of shame and contempt. My father and Konrad were seen moderately away. I must have heard the story, but I didn't make a feint of looking back at me. I can't wait to see what's going on in this big banquet room. The lace gloves caught my eye as I went down. I wore jewelry and dresses sent from the Imperial Palace, but I wore gloves that the man gave me. Olivia slowly lifted her gloved hand. He was a strange man when we were together. It was then. The sound of silent horn trumpets overwhelmed the banquet hall.

"Your majesty the Emperor, your Majesty the Empress, and your Majesty the Empress."

The servant exclaimed loudly. Everyone gave examples to the emperor, empress, and princess. Princess Reina, dressed in a white dress, was seen behind the emperor and Empress, who were lavishly decorated. It was a dress that was not like the princess who always loved gorgeous things.

"Worship the sun and moon of the empire. See your Majesty the Emperor and your Majesty the Empress."

"Haha. It's a fun day for everyone, so get up."

As if to save the atmosphere, the emperor smiled coolly and raised his cup. Then Teena looked around the banquet hall and said aloud: "Oh, my god."

"By the way. Where are the main characters of today?"

"Me, that's it."

The servant of the Emperor's palace, who was most nearby, looked perplexed and scowled at the Emperor. The emperor frowned as he heard it.

"What? You're not here yet?"

Everyone in the banquet hall was quiet. It was a victory banquet, but it was not possible to come later than the emperor and Empress. It was when the Emperor was about to burst into a fiery temper.

"Grand Duke Edwin Lowell Vikander and the Knights of the Imperial Palace, the Knights of Vikander enter!"

At the open door, with the voice of a servant ringing in the banquet hall, the knights in livery entered stately. Olivia, too, looked at the procession of knights and found Jade. If you have silvery hair, it would be easy to find, but there are many people who can't see it. At the moment, the people watching the procession became silent. Olivia turned her head to the reaction of the people. Olivia's eyes grew larger. And I blinked without knowing. That black livery man in front of the procession of knights. Chiseled keys and dark hair. Red ruby eyes. Beautiful face that makes even admiration swallow. That man is obvious. It was the man I saw in Lurheirn, which I remembered a little while ago.
