A Mess (1)

“You want your tongue pulled out, don’t you?”

When he said that he would take the power of the Hasler family to invite Rowena Adelia, Emilia responded like this.

Kernan gritted his teeth and explained the situation. After a long discussion, the family mentioned was Count Otis. Emilia had planned to use Maryen Otis for a bit more.

“That’s true. It would be fun to blame Maryen for the crime and make her fight Adelia.”

Emilia hated Rowena.

Other than the part of winning Cecil’s heart, it was also because Rowena had interfered with her plans to ruin Liliana several times.

She wished she was the only woman in the world to be praised. In terms of purity, she found it unpleasant to hear that she was inferior to Liliana Wenson.

In that sense, Emilia also hated Maryen. Her hatred for her was that she was making a name for herself while she was off topic.

It was an outrageous hate for Kernan’s reason to plan this.

However, the crime against Rowena was not conceived by Emilia. It was Kernan who came up with the idea. Emilia was delighted to play along with the plan.

Now the girl couldn’t walk around with her head up.

What Emilia hoped was that Rowena would suffer and eventually fall from the throne of the crown princess. She had made all the plans for her.

All that was left was to carry it out!

After sneaking out of the Marquis’ mansion, Kernan moved to his usual club. From there, he entered his room, took off his wig, changed his clothes, and came out. On the surface, he appeared to have taken drugs and slept with a woman after being heavily drunk.

When he stopped by the Hasler Family or met Emilia, he always wore a red-haired wig and makeup on his face, so he thought no one would recognize him.

In addition, Maryen’s subordinates were also suspicious of him, and they paid her maid to do her job and pass on the word.

The man with the red-haired wig is Viscount Lambert.

A new worker had already settled in Count Otis’ family. He was the one who received a letter of recommendation from Viscount Lambert.

Maryen gritted her teeth and allowed the worker to enter the family.

On that day, to save my family and me, I must make Emilia attend the meeting! But how?

She thought of Rowena, who had helped Liliana many times, but she couldn’t ask her for her help. If it were Rowena, she would see through the situation in no time.

I was sorry for her, but if the incident itself didn’t happen, only she, the love of Otis, could have been destroyed and ended.

She had to make Emilia weak so she could never accuse her. Maryen, who was oppressed by evil, even considered the extreme way of kidnapping Emilia.

If I don’t get her somehow…!

Fortunately, Maryen was not without any weapons. Count Otis was working on the distribution and manufacturing of medicines and drugs.

I will repay you back!

It was after receiving the letter that she thought that there was no signet ring. Until then, she had been fooled by a similar-looking imitation.

It was something that shouldn’t fall into the hands of others.

A signet ring of a deer with one horn missing.

“Go to Count Otis?”

Didn’t you lose something important? If you want it back, you’ll have to come to Count Otis on July 18th. If you don’t come, this seal ring will be sent to the Imperial Palace in the name of the Hasler family.

At the end of the letter was the inscription of the signet ring. It was obvious that the lady stole her ring, wrote a letter, and engraved it.

Emilia, who checked her signet ring, was furious when she realized it was a tin ring.

“This bitch!”

It was July 18th. The next day was the day of the tea ceremony at the Count of Otis. It was the day Rowena would come.

She barely set the schedule, but now it’s too late to change everything.

Is this the work of Lady Otis?

It was suspicious of her to ask her to come to Otis Estate. However, on the contrary, it seemed that if Lady Otis was the culprit, she wouldn’t be called to Otis Estate.

It could simply be someone from the Otis family…

Recently, many people had changed in the Otis family. In order to bring the people sent by Kernan into the house, they changed their servants extensively.

There were new entrants besides those sent by Kernan, because he had to deceive the people for his plan.

If it was Lady Otis who threatened me, I wouldn’t let it go.

In Emilia’s opinion, Maryen was not the main character, but just an insignificant supporting character. Someone’s bridesmaid, who never gets to be number one even if mentioned with her and Liliana.

By her standards, such bridesmaids should never be seen. It was Maryen’s role to be thoroughly used and removed by her.

Because of this, Emilia moved as the blackmailer wanted. She came out of the Marquis Estate in the dark on the date written on the letter of intimidation.
