Selfish Mind (8)
“These days, I’m actually running a new business.”
“Hmm, is that so? As far as I know, Count Liber is not doing any other business these days.”
Perhaps he didn’t expect her to be interested in himself. Count Liber’s eyebrows strangely went up and down.
It was embarrassing because the Imperial family openly said they were interested in the Count. If it were her father, they would have pretended not to know, but she wasn’t.
“Let’s hear it out of curiosity.”
“…… Oh, thank you. There’s something I’ve been putting my heart and soul into these days.”
She knew. She knew what kind of business he was talking about and what was behind it.
However, she just asked to see if he would tell her the truth, but she didn’t expect it.
“Well, it’s a pain reliever that finds medicinal herbs that are effective, and if you take them, the pain disappears.”
“Then it must be the herb I need. I’m dying, but I don’t enjoy pain very much.”
So, how will he hand it over to her? She looked at the Count with curious eyes. Arthur was just watching from the side. The Count seemed to hesitate a little, but soon he smiled and waved his hand.
“But I don’t think I can dare to show it to the Princess because I haven’t properly verified it yet.”
“That’s too bad. I thought it was a must-have medicine for me. I would have been angry if I knew that and you didn’t dedicate it to me.”
The Count’s neck trembled at the murderous intent. His mouth dried up. There was nothing in the eyes that looked at him.
Only the fierce eyes that penetrated through him were directed to the Count.
“When I am dying like this, wouldn’t that be blasphemous if I knew how to stay still? Or maybe you wanted me to die.”
“Wha, what are you talking about, Princess? I’m worried about the health of the Princess of the Arpen Empire every day and looking for ways to cure her illness.”
“That’s a funny thing, too. The Count tried to solve what the Imperial Palace doctor couldn’t do?”
She scanned him with cold eyes. Oops, he hurriedly bowed his head and said to forgive the rudeness. His wife also bowed her head after him.
“Oh my, raise your head. Anyone who sees it would think that I told them to cut your throat. Show your faces.”
“Hwa, Princess.”
“Grand Duke, was I too mean?”
She grinned at Arthur and tilted her head. He also shook his head with a calm smile.
“If the Princess says so, they may be surprised. There are rumors going around.”
“Grand Duke, weren’t there always rumors about me?”
“Your rumors don’t matter to me, but it’s an unpleasant rumor. I always wanted to find the leader and cut their throat.”
“I can’t believe you love me that much. Grand Duke, I’m happy to be engaged to you.”
Arthur, who lightly kissed the back of her hand, hardened his lips as he saw the nobles standing in front of him.
His eyes were clearly bent, but somehow even she felt a chill.

He must have been quite offended. Knowing that they were the driving force behind the rumor, there was no way that the nobles would look fine.
Furthermore, it’s related to Gray, so he might want to tear these guys to death now.
‘Well, that was unexpected. I also lost my heart to forgive them a little bit.’
Nevertheless, it was still worrisome because she needed the strength, wealth, and foundation they had.
Is this really the right thing to do? One choice will determine everything in the future. Whatever she chooses, she can’t go back any more.
So it would be advantageous for her to choose a side that would be less damaging. If so, she can think easily.
She can make a nobleman who will be on her side and put him in their place.
Her reputation has already fallen to the ground, and it is safe to say that only few people support her. If it weren’t for the only Princess title, she would have been abandoned earlier.
“Arthur, I changed my mind.”
“Don’t you regret it?”
“I have no regrets. We can put it back together.”
“That’s true.”
The nobles were wary of each other at what she and Arthur said. They couldn’t understand what the two meant, but they must have felt instinctively.
They were feeling a strange fear when they saw the fact that the situation was going strange and that she had changed from before.
She can see from their slightly shaky eyes and awkwardly raised mouths.
They are afraid of her now. She looked curious about what they would say but didn’t want to hear it.
“Isn’t that what power is all about?”
“As you wish.”
He told her. There’s nothing good about leaving it alone, but she was just careful not to take unnecessary damage.
However, when she met them in person, the idea had long since already disappeared.
“Shall we get started?”
Clap clap clap.
She turned around and clapped as she did back then to attract people’s attention. Everyone looked at her, whispering at her sudden behavior.
Her father also looked worried that she might cause another accident.

She stomped and headed to her father. She whispered quietly because she didn’t want him to be surprised.
“Father, everything that happens from now on is for me and my father. So don’t worry too much.”
“Mary, what are you doing?”
“You just have to not interfere with it. The crumbling Imperial Throne. Should I take it back?”
With a smile, she turned around and gazed at everyone looking at her with puzzled looks. Soon after she raised her hand, the guards came out and blocked all entrances.
