SOS!!! 1stkissnovel! DO NOT STEAL MY TRANSLATION!!! \n“Perhaps it is?”
Aria had a worried expression on her face without realizing it. Then Marronnier explained to her reassuringly.
“The name is just a meeting, but most of it is a formal process. No matter what conversations come and go at the meeting, the Grand Prince will do as he pleases.”
In the normal case, though.
‘It wouldn’t be that easy.’
The vassals will surely oppose it with terrible anger. Because things are different now.
‘I’d love to spy on the meeting, too.’
That way she can prepare ahead of time.
***
That night, Aria sneaked out of her room.
It was possible because she had not yet been officially assigned an escort knight.
‘There was also the case of Sir Anjou.’
Best of all, when Aria called, she had wolves and jaguars running right away. She didn’t seem to feel the need to attach an escort knight.
It was a relief.
‘The conference room was next to the reception room on the first floor.
She went to the back of the conference room building, stepped on the lawn, through the garden trees and explored the surroundings.
‘There it is.’
Fortunately, she was able to find a window that was slightly open.
Aria carefully poked her head through the gap.
And Vincent followed her leisurely.
“…..”
How did he know and followed her?
Aria quickly turned her head and stared at him without a word. The boy shrugged his shoulders.
“Sister-in-law’s behavior pattern has already been analyzed.”
What the hell is that…
“You seem to appear in every place you don’t have to, but you always want to be at the center of the incident.”
Aria was terribly offended that she had been spotted by Vincent.
‘A sharp child.’
Seeing the curious expression on his face, he seemed to have followed her because it looked interesting.
“I won’t disturb you.”
Aria then placed her index finger on her lips as if to be quiet. And she again looked inside the window.
Inside the conference room, Lloyd, who was sitting at the top of the table, asked while looking at the crowd.
“That is all. Is there have any objections?”
At the same time, there was a bang and a beating on the desk.
“It’s impossible! You can’t even say where she came from!”
“If she was born into a noble origin, why can’t you say where she came from?”
“Even an illegitimate child would be more honorable than not being able to reveal the origin!”
“Even if she’s a commoner, why can’t it be revealed? You have to explain the reason for us to understand.”
“It’s not enough to say that we can’t talk about it, it’s absurd. Maybe she’s from the gutter…”
The reaction was as expected.
The wedding was meant to announce Aria’s existence to the world. Then Aria could not hide her identity.
They’re finding fault with that now.
‘Originally, they wouldn’t have had any reason to oppose it, as I would only give birth to an heir and die.’
As Vincent said, after Sabina was cured, people saw a vague hope.
‘The vassal is no exception.”
They saw the hope of a rise in status. They were obsessed with trying to somehow drive Aria out and put their own child in the place of the Grand Duchess.
If the curse can be healed, if it has been resolved, then they will no longer just have to have children and die.
‘A chance to become an influential extended family.”
They couldn’t miss the opportunity. There is a reason why they immediately ran as soon as the summon was issued.
“Isn’t this why you were really determined to clear the gutter this time, in order to erase the blemishes of your fiancee without a trace?”
“Honestly, we have no choice but to be skeptical. Isn’t the timing too coincidental?”
“Why did you wait and watch the gutter rat and now…”
The vassals eventually drove the opinion as if Aria was from the gutter.
‘Like Vincent.’
Do they think that Lloyd would have no choice but to reveal Aria’s origin? If such a humble origin was revealed like that, they’re going to bite her even more fiercely.
Vincent clicked his tongue next to her.
“The pattern is the same every time.”
Right. Weren’t they bored of it?
‘But it’s a method that works so well, so perhaps they’ll use the same method every time.’
They said it knowing that if they pointed at the gutter, Lloyd would react sensitively.
‘Ah, maybe Lloyd’s doubts will rekindle.’
Aria thought so.
He said that they sent spies before they cleared the gutter, so he won’t take the suspicions of buying her off.
Because he didn’t elaborate on why he couldn’t reveal the fact that she was the Siren’s daughter.
However,
“Sister-in-law, what are you worried about? The answer is decided anyway.”
Vincent looked at her seriously hardened face and said with a smirk.
“Brother is the answer.”
That was the moment.
“Didn’t I talk about everything?”
The voice of the arrogant ruler was heard.
A languid tone mixed with boredom and annoyance like a wild beast looking down at a swarm of mice squeaking under my feet.
–
A sharp metallic sound rang out.
Aria looked inside the window again wondering what it would be.
Lloyd drew his sword from the scabbard around his waist and pointed it at the vassals.
He rested his upright back against the back of her chair, and with the elbow clasped in the handle, threw and caught the sword with both hands as if playing.
“I’ll ask again. Does anyone have any objections to my marriage?”
The crowd was silent.
A heavy silence descended upon them as they were unable to even squeak, crushed by the ruthless aura.
Soon, the voices that had been resounding all the way to the outside of the conference room, ceased to be heard.
