After a few days, Sawyer and Sietrich sat in front of each other at The Cassady mansion in the morning. The maids serving them some refreshment and leaving them inside the Count office.

"Please treat yourselves Count Geneivre." Sewyer said as he motioned his hand at the tea and snack on top of a table.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Sietrich smiling at him, he took the cup and drinking it slowly.

"Lets get to the discussion lord Sietrich. What do you want to talk about ?" Saywer asks him kindly after he put his own cup of tea.

"Alright then, I'll straight to the point. I want to ask you 'Lord Sawyer' about my daughter wishes."

"Lady Edith ?" he asks, frowning his brow at the unexpected name Sietrich bought.

"Yes, it requires your approval along with his majesty." Sietrich said, waiting his response.

Sawyer did not think that Mr. Sietrich wanted to talk about was in fact his daughter. As far as he could tell, Lady Edith was pursuing the crown prince. Maybe his purpose all along was to ask his help by tying them together.

"First, I apologize if I happen to offend you... as for this matter, I can't help you if you want me to tie your daughter in han-"

"NO !?!"

Sietrich who heard what he said rushed to denying it. He was aware about his daughter bad rumors, but to reach on to this level was simply unbelievable. Its made him agree more to her wishes on leaving the empire for. few years.

"No ? It's not about that ?" Sawyer was shocked to witness the count outburst stayed still.

"Yes, I'm just want to ask my daughter for a permission to leave the empire approximately two years." The count sighed.

"Pardon ?"

Sawyer felt like the count dropped some magic missile so suddenly, as he was too late to respond it.

He just couldn't believe it.

"Yes, it is as you heard. My daughter intends to live in Durham Kingdom around two years for recuperating herself, maybe a vocation." The Count stated as he took some fruit from the plate.

Sawyer stared Sietrich intently as he tried to digest what the Count words. It was rather troublesome matter but the positive things about this was removing a seed of chaos from the soil.

Everyone well aware about the Count daughter obsessive and it tends to cause more ruckus in the society when it's not removed.

It would be getting bigger.

After a few minutes in silence, Sawyer talk to him.

"I need to asks his majesty on this matter. If his majesty approved it, then the last thing to do to get the Grand duke seals and the two other dukes. I'll relay it to his majesty" He stated.

"I'm indebted to you then, Thank you so much Lord Sawyer." Sietrich told him.

When their discussion comes to an end, Count Sietrich take his leave, the butler mansion accompanying him to the front door. He left the mansion and rode the carriage back to the territories.

A few days passed and today, Count Cassady summoned by the Emperor. He was together with the Emperor advisor as well as the Emperor himself in the meeting council. They talked about the upcoming delegations from the Durham Kingdom.

The late grand duke Salvatore was present in the rooms, Dantė H. Salvatore the king advisor as well as his majesty older brother.

"Prepare the welcoming banquet for the delegations and make sure to inform every noble to attend the ball." the king stated in authorities tune to his close aide. Both of them didn't showing any objection to his decree.

"Anything else, Lord Cassady ?" He continued, watching the count uneasiness. Sawyer who heard the emperor mentioning his name specifically sighed.

"Actually, I have something to inform you."

"Speaks, Lord Sawyer." he told him

"Lord Geneivre seeks your approval regarding his daughter's wishes Lady Edith Geneivre to lived in Durham Kingdom estimately two years."

Count Sawyer told them, when suddenly the crown prince barge in. The Emperor attention shifted to the crown prince's.

"What's happened Ferael?... to make you not mind any manners." The emperor stated as he looks straight to his son who was in rush. He was displeased at him.

"Greetings to his majesty the emperor... and Greetings to Lord Dantė and Lord Cassady, please forgive my rudeness for barge in rashly." The crown prince lowering his head to his father and Lord Dantė his uncle. Except for one's person.

"Speak"

"I heard news regarding Geneivre Young Lady leaving the capitals sooner, Is that true ?"

The crown prince asks seriously, He was happy but couldn't bring himself to believe it. He was adamant to think it was her scheme all along, hoping that the emperor could verify it.

"Yes,,," The emperor said as he looks the crown prince countenance brighten. "In fact, Lord Cassady informing me about the that matters a couple of minutes ago. But i haven't given any approval." He continued.

The crown prince face distorted in subtle change, but he hurriedly masking it.

"Please approve it, Father." He wants to ask why, but it was disrespecting the emperor. The only option was to plead his approval on it.

"Do enlighten me for your reasons."

Aillard told him with his serious face, showing the emperor dignity as he remains unaffected.

The crown prince inhaling deeply as he began to talk, he was very much disliked her because her constant stalk and terrifying scheme slowly got worse. It creeps him out, and it would be better to let her lived in another country.

"Please pardon my rudeness, your Majesty the emperor as everyone already knows I have a fiancée from the ducal Orthos, and I assume that everyone was well aware about the problems between my fiancée and Lady Edith." The crown prince explained, when the emperor glancing towards the prime ministers as he's silently nodding his head. Indicating the crown prince speaks the truth.

"They often cause a ruckus in every occasion whenever they meet. Because of that, many rumors regarding Lady Edith reasons about this matter concluding my being as her love interest caught many ears."

"I don't want that kind of rumors around my name not when their scheme goes into another level quarrelling. Its just another possibility to prevent an unwelcome tragedy like in the past."

Hearing that, Aillard the emperor close his eyes. The crown prince word reminds his past memories between his brother the grand duke and his wives jealousy between each other. It had been a rough childhood and head aching reign for the past few years ago.

"Indeed, it's a seed now." he slowly murmurs, and asks "What do you think, Brother ?"

The emperor look at his brother, the late grand duke who stood still beside him as his advisor.
