“I am seventeen years old. I’m not yet an adult, but I’ve officially debuted in the social world. Do you know what that means?”

“…”

“I’m no longer young. It was only when I was young that my parents and older brothers treated me like a child and didn’t tell me about my family, but now it’s different. I have the right to know what is going on in my family, and I can play for the benefit of my family.”

No further explanation was needed. She looked at the two of them in turn and handed them more.

“So, what’s the matter?”

The twins didn’t answer right away. Instead of coaxing them further, Yurina tilted her head slightly and stared at them silently.

The twins exchanged glances and then sighed at the same time. This time Justin spoke up.

“Yurina, do you remember when you left for the Crohn Kingdom to meet Raynard there?”

“Of course I remember.”

Even as he spoke, there was an internal struggle in his tone.

‘We were talking about De Flon, but all of a sudden about the Crohn Kingdom?

Then, something suddenly came to mind.

“You want to tell me that I wasn’t attacked by rebel forces then?”

Edwin’s eyes, which had been still, widened.

“How do you know? I haven’t even said anything yet.”

“That is the only story that will come out of this situation. It’s not like I’m talking about the fun I had in the Crohn Kingdom. So? Why is that story suddenly appearing?”

“So, after learning about this case, father continued to investigate even after you returned to the Empire.”

“It has already been concluded that the rebels were responsible.”

To be honest, Yurina had some doubts about the attack at that time. It was because of what she had heard from the rebels.

“Sh*t! We were not told about the wizard!”

They spoke as if they already knew about Yurina. It was a little strange. Yurina decided to travel to the Crohn Kingdom quite suddenly to celebrate Raynard’s birthday.

In addition, in a foreign kingdom, few people knew that Reynard was supported by the Carthia family.

It is unlikely that some of the rebels would know about Yurina in advance.

‘So, what did the investigation reveal?’

It’s safe to say that Marquis Cartia lied because he was worried about his young and tender youngest daughter.

“Father kept it a secret because he was afraid for you. Don’t blame him, okay?”

“Of course I won’t. So, he continued his investigation. And what did he find?”

“I can’t say for sure who else was involved. But…”

“But?”

Instead of a hesitant Justin, Edwin continued.

“At that time there were indications that these conspirators had connections with the Empire.”

At those unexpected words, Yurina felt her head turn cloudy.

“So you want to say that someone ordered this attack?”

“Hm. We still don’t know who exactly, but…”

“But there’s a good chance it was the De Flon family, isn’t it?”

As soon as Edwin nodded to this, Justin stood next to him and snapped:

“So don’t get close to Lydia De Flon.”

* * *

Edwin and Justin’s story complicated Yurina’s mind.

‘And since when exactly has the Marquis been targeting me?’

It was not revealed that Marquis De Flon was behind the hunting competition accident, but even if it was actually something he planned, there was a reason to understand it.

Since Reynard was active in the Kingdom, the Crown Prince has shown interest in Yurina as well as Reynard. If Yurina had shown her interest in him, it would have been possible for her to say that he wouldn’t welcome her as her crown princess long ago.

If they tried to make Lydia the Crown Princess like in the original story, Yurina might have been a thorn in their eyes. Unlike the original story, she has Reynard, so if he wanted to kill her, it would have been better for him to target her before he returned from her graduation.

But there was a variable here.

‘Obviously Lydia seemed to like Karion.’

In the meantime, she had only been living in the manor and had never met Curtis, so there was no way she would like him. Because Lydia likes Karion, she differs from her original story where she wanted to be the Crown Princess.

The story has changed like this, but why did Marquis De Flon target Yurina from before?

Yurina recalled the story of the twins she had heard at the party.

“From the rumors I heard, it seems that Marquis De Flon made contact with His Highness the 2nd Prince.”

In a situation where Lydia doesn’t even love Curtis, why did he choose the second prince and not Curtis?

Clues that she didn’t know were gathering little by little, but rather, the more clues gathered, the more the story seemed to get twisted.

‘I have to meet Karion too.’

The twins told her never meet with Lydia because of the circumstances, but Yurina had no intention of doing that.

Lydia and Karion will come to the Carthia Mansion in a few days as originally planned.
