Chapter 175

In Alesias voice, Violet noticed strength and confidence.

She understood why Marchioness Leshan had described her daughter as a colt jumping around like its gone crazy.

To overcome opposition, one sometimes had to shout and assert their opinions, even if it meant sounding like a lunatic.

Alesia and Violet led different lives. Just as Alesia couldnt comprehend Violets struggles, there were undoubtedly concerns in Violets life that Alesia didnt understand.

Violet knew this fact. Alesia, trapped in her own world and unable to see beyond, emerged from her self-contained world for the sake of her goal.

Smiling at Alesia, Violet said,

I can at least offer some support.

Next time we meet, Ducal Lady, you will surely address me as Dame.

Alesia claimed this with confidence. It was an ambitious statement, but at the same time, it hinted at the long road shed have to tread ahead.

As Violet stifled a little click of the tongue, Alesia laughed and extended her hand.

So, Ill show a different side of myself at the hunting competition.

It was a good conclusion.

* * *

The significance of the hunting competition ran deep, intertwined with the empires long-standing traditions and history.

However, the current significance of the hunting competition had long since deviated.

A display of skill, status, and camaraderiethe imperial event where all three could be showcased.

Although it was once an event held to strengthen the foundation of the nation, Violet thought it had failed in that regard.

Well, for the lower classes beneath the nobility, it served as a public holiday, so it wasnt entirely a lost cause.

Are you entering it, too?

Huh?

The hunting competition.

Oh.

Grateful that his older sister had come to talk to him for the first time, Cairn replied enthusiastically. On the surface though, it sounded like a dry response.

I havent graduated yet, so technically, I shouldnt be able to enter. But I got a special invitation, you know? Usually, nobles are all about principles and stuff, but they really just ignore rules most of the time.

Is that so?

Whats up though? Whyre you asking?

Having received an answer from Cairn, Violet turned away without hesitation. Seeing her back, the bewildered third young master watched Violet with a helpless expression, but she didnt turn back.

She didnt want to proceed here anymore. With that thought in mind, Violet left the training ground and returned to the mansion, waiting for Roen.

The dukes heir, who had been caught by the crown prince and had escaped early today, answered Violets question briefly.

Ill show up for the sake of formalities, but I dont plan to participate in the hunt. By any chance, if youre thinking of giving me a handkerchief

It was a hopeless, thick-faced dream of his. Violet once again turned away and showed her back to him without a hint of regret.

Even if she really didnt want to go, she couldnt avoid it.

She asked just in case, but she was immediately shot down. It was reiterated that she must attend.

Violet let out a deep sigh.

Already tired just thinking about all the passive-aggressive power plays shed have to endure, Violet pressed her eyelids firmly.
