Chapter 153

The Right Timing (13)

“Are you going to take advantage of the Gabriella case?”

“Yes.”

An aristocratic young man seduced a commoner named Gabriella. Gabriella insisted that she wouldn’t be involved before marriage, and a young man, who was just going to fool her, formed a status as an immigrant and married her.

After the relationship, the young man fled after living with Gabriella for a month. Afterward, Gabriella’s family searched for the young man in every direction.

Two years later, Gabriella’s relatives found the young man and identified him.

He was the second son of a count and was about to marry the daughter of another count.

Gabriella’s father, who was a commoner but wealthy, accused the young man. Gabriella was carrying a one-year-old baby in the meantime.

It was the child of a young man.

Gabriella’s father appealed to the temple to see if the emperor would side with the nobility.

It was a good time. It was a time of conflict between the temple and the imperial family. It was a good case to see if the temple would allow such immorality to happen.

The young man ignored Gabriella and even married the noble lady… The temple refused to register the marriage between a young man and an aristocratic lady.

It was because it was a big marriage.

“…I don’t think it’s the same now. The temple cannot fight with the imperial family.”

“If I arrange for Liliana to meet with the temple, everyone will know that I am protecting Liliana.”

Marquis Wensen had always been stingy with temples, and since the person who chose at that time had now become the Emperor, Liliana, and Kian could step up against him.

“In addition, you want Count Krimeyer to be incorporated into the aristocratic society.”

Count Krimeyer was a man who rose to the rank of count with only one sword skill. However, it was not easy to enter the aristocratic society because he was like Kian.

He was married to a lady, a baron’s daughter bestowed upon him by the present emperor and was living in peace. He hoped that he would be able to permeate the aristocratic society by integrating, but was finally rejected and angry.

The Marquis of Wenson was a powerful house.

The marriage between a Marquis’ daughter and a mixed-race man of Suin could have shocked the aristocratic society. The imperial family could not openly support this, so if the problem was achieved through the temple, it was like indirectly taking part.

“You thought that far, didn’t you?”

So help me, Rowena said, her eyes twinkling and looking at Cecil. Cecil kissed the tip of her nose and bit Rowena’s cheek lightly.

“To accept your wish… I’ll help you if you promise to take a bridal lesson.”

“What?! I don’t need a bride and a poetry class. I’ve already done it. I’ve done it…”

“When is the time to whine, saying it’s impossible anymore? You said you’ll do anything.”

“I-I really need to do that…?”

“Hmm. From now on, if you don’t faint in my arms, I’ll consider the lessons unnecessary.”

“No, wait?! Kyaak!”

Cecil, who held Rowena in his arms, immediately headed to bed. With an obscene hunch, Rowena turned red despite her worries about Liliana.

* * *

Anna, who rushed to the location after, confirmed that Kian and the attackers were fighting and was about to call the guards.

She was worried about the doctor, but Kian’s life was also important.

Anna, looking around in her frantic run, recognized a couple. She didn’t exactly know the woman, but she knew the man.

“C-count! Help me!”

Theo, who had escorted Lady Rasmine and brought the escort knights, and attendants to the festival, stopped and looked at her. Catherine looked at Anna.

“Do you know her?”

“No.”

He wasn’t trying to pretend he didn’t know it, he just didn’t really recognize her.

However, Pina’s makeup skills were so good. Anna exclaimed, even taking off her wig.

“The count! I’m Anna, Anna! Lady Liliana’s maid!”

“Anna?”

Theo was speculating that Anna had fled with Liliana. Liliana disappeared and Anna disappeared.

Because Pina was friendly with Anna, people from the Marquis’ residence even came to Count Adelia’s residence to annoy her. Recently, due to the Marquis of Wenson trying to spread bad rumors about Rowena, the relationship between the two families was on the verge.

Still, they greeted each other.

“What’s going on?”

“T-the doctor was mugged!”

There was a high possibility that they wouldn’t believe her if she said something like an assassin or an attack by a marquis family. So she said he was mugged.
