Chapter 270:

TL/N: Another cut-free chapter... thanks to that aggregator site that reneged on the agreement of only posting after a few months' delay, and instead uploads it as soon as each new free chapter is released.

Rowena, while preparing herself, was incredibly particular and meticulous about every detail.

She changed her clothes dozens of times a day, styled her hair, adorned herself with hundreds of different accessories, and meticulously groomed her nails and toenails, all in an effort to maximize her beauty.

As a result, it was the maids who were absolutely exhausted.

“How many outfits is this today?”

“... Number 89.”

“Sigh. It’s not like it makes any difference. Why is she doing this?”

“You know, it's because the Archduchess has fallen in love with Otto de Scuderia."

“The King of Iota, that rising power?”

“Yes.”

“Is he really that handsome?”

“I don't know. Hmm. According to the rumors, he’s said to be the most handsome man on the continent.”

“Really~?”

“Whether it's true or not, we'll have to see for ourselves. Ugh. Thanks to this, we're the ones who are going to suffer.”

“I know. I'm so tired.”

The maids were accumulating stress day by day due to Rowena's whims, which had them going from heaven to hell dozens of times in a single day.

Rowena's efforts to impress Otto bordered on madness, making it incredibly difficult for those attending to her.

Meanwhile, Otto had ‘no' idea that Rowena was making such a fuss.

After all, the Rowena he knew was not the kind of woman who would ever set her eyes on anyone at all.

‘There's no way she'd like me when there's Adonis.'

Adonis was a supporting character in Rowena's scenario, a beautiful boy who was considered one of the most handsome on the continent.

In Rowena's scenario, she unexpectedly meets Adonis from the Kingdom of Erzsebet and falls for him at first sight.

However, Adonis was a commoner from the Kingdom of Erzsebet, so he could not marry Rowena.

Aside from being handsome, his background was so humble that he couldn't possibly marry Rowena, the princess of the Arad Empire in an official ceremony.

So, Rowena keeps Adonis by her side as a servant.

Later, when she ascends to the throne, she vows that she will welcome Adonis as her official husband without hesitation and seat him in the position of consort-the husband of a queen or empress.

In other words, Rowena's crazy ambition was significantly driven by her desire to marry Adonis, whose humble background made a formal union difficult.

But that was not the point.

This Adonis was a figure of significance to Rowena, representing something far beyond mere love.

Adonis, who became Rowena's servant and consort, awakens an unexpected talent.

That talent is....

‘An incredible military strategy.'

Adonis was a genius with a natural talent for strategy and tactics.

Born into a poor family as a shepherd, Adonis had not received a proper education. However, due to aggregator sites free chapters get cut and now can only be read fully by coins or in Patreon
