Chapter 106

A Plan (4)

She showed her performance without being affected by the weight of the royal family. She also treated the ladies at an appropriate status, so they imagined themselves helping her next to the woman who would become an empress in the future.

“…She seemed to be a careful person, don’t you think?”

“That’s true. The lady…”

“Hoho… It would have been a big deal if she was scared in front of various nobles.”

The prospective crown princess and the crown prince left their seats, but the ball continued. The ball of the day was held in a decent atmosphere, so even the elderly nobles remained in their seats.

The Marquis of Wenson, who was busy with Liliana’s work, was also one of the remaining.

“…About the Marquis of Wenson.”

The Marquis of Wenson felt a surge of anger at the sight of the ladies talking about various things over the fan.

Originally, this humiliation was something Paul Adelia had to feel.

According to the servants, Matthias seems to have stabbed his brother…

The source said he wasn’t sure because he peeped over the fence. Normally, if there was a fire next door, they would run to help, but it was because the Marquis of Wenson couldn’t even get close to him.

There’s definitely something wrong with the family. It’s not strange if there’s a problem because it’s a corner of the house that usually has a lot of problems…

The Marquis of Wenson had already defined Matthias, the eldest son of the Adeliad family, as a rascal.

I think he stabbed his own brother and hid. The count is hiding it.

If he makes a big noise about the crimes committed by Matthias, he could humiliate Rowena for a while. However, it was difficult to remove her from the position of the crown princess as long as she was the crown prince’s fiancée.

The Marquis of Wenson wanted a bigger scandal. If Rowena can’t be killed, let her be dragged down from the throne’s fiancée.

If I knew what that guy, Matthias, was guilty of, I could inflate it greatly…

Unfortunately, Matthias was not able to be in public office because he was not capable, and even in his family, he was not entrusted with a business that could be profitable.

Treason is the best, but if he committed crimes such as embezzlement or abuse of power in public office, it would have been great to bring down Rowena under that excuse.

Even now, there was a way to recommend Matthias to a public position, but… The marriage of the Crown Prince and Rowena was only a month and a half later.

After Rowena became the crown princess, it was difficult to bring her down to that extent.

Marriage is hard to break.

“The Marquis of Wenson.”

A man approached the Marquis of Wenson, who emptied his glass alone. The Marquis looked at him with a frown.

The Marquis of Wenson knew most of the high aristocracy. The young man in front of him was dressed as a high-ranking aristocrat, but he didn’t seem to be a high-ranking aristocrat’s child.

“There’s someone who wants to see the Marquis.”

Of course, his heart leaped to a strange premonition with the thought that it was right. He felt like someone would help him with this frustrating situation.

Matthias was afraid. Rowena wasn’t like a sister to him. If he really thought of her as his sister, he wouldn’t have done that.

For him, Rowena, Theo, and Louis were like a group of demons born to eat him. So he thought Rowena would not forgive him for stabbing Theo.

Maybe she will coax the crown prince to catch me

It was disgusting just to imagine it, but Rowena would have done so. Matthias often hit Rowena but never had she once submitted.

Rather, she seemed to be hiding like a snake and looking for an opportunity.

She gave me an excuse to eat me first!

But it was inevitable. If Theo and Louis had run to Rowena and revealed all his tricks, it would have been worse than his father. The crown prince was a tough cookie.

I have to hurry up with my work…

His father, who had not yet abandoned Matthias, seemed to be stopping the words that would leak out. It was the same just by seeing that the Imperial knights were not looking for him right away.

Matthias intended to move things forward at this time.

Everything would work out if he had Rowena’s weakness in hand before anything bad happened. Matthias truly believed so.

However, Matthias did not step up in the operation.

Rowena was not the one to run out just because Matthias called. She would definitely be suspicious.

Therefore, it was all up to Viscount Lambert to lure Rowena and save those who directly harm Rowena.

Matthias didn’t even worry about putting too much burden on Kernan Lambert. He thought he was just as talented.
