The Crown Princess’s Ploy (4)
Kian ran his horse to the palace. Even if he sent a letter to Rowena, it was highly likely that it would not reach her, but it was different if it was her maid, Pinna.
He immediately used Liliana’s name.
“Please deliver this letter to Pina, the princess’s maid. It’s about Lady Liliana Wenson, a friend of Her Royal Highness’s!”
The gatekeeper of the palace was surprised to hear this, but immediately moved. A letter to the Crown Princess would be difficult, but it would be delivered to the maid.
When the gatekeeper delivered the letter to the royal servant, the servant quickly moved to the Crown Prince’s palace.
Pina was waiting for the letter anyway. It was already a game, so it was a matter of course. When the letter arrived by the servant, she wanted to scream with joy.
She pretended to deliver the letter to Rowena quickly, and left the royal palace with eight royal knights already chosen by Rowena.
“I need a carriage! Her Majesty the Crown Princess also allowed it!”
She couldn’t ask pregnant Liliana to ride a horse. Pina rode in a royal carriage and left the palace with royal knights.
She delivered the plan to Kian and asked him to join her at the entrance to the palace, but Kian was not seen. From his temper, it was clear that he headed for the guard without waiting.
‘It will be dangerous!’
But there was no delay. It was clear where Kian was headed, so she had to make her way to the estate before Kian and the Marquis’ knights bumped heads.
They were a little delayed because they couldn’t move as fast as the festival was held.
Pina hurried the driver and the knights to the guard post. Sure enough, Kian and Marquis’s knights were confronting each other in front of the guard.
The knights came out of the estate
“This is a criminal! The guards should take him!”
The guards looked troubled when the Marquis’ knight raised his voice.
“

what did he do wrong?”
“This is

.”
The fact that Kian ran away with Liliana was a fact that the Marquis was trying to hide. They gnashed their teeth because they couldn’t bear to say it themself.
Then the carriage from the imperial family stopped. It was Pina who opened the door of the carriage and brought two maids and one servant.
“I came here when I heard that Lady Liliana Wenson was here! I will take her to protect her under the order of Her Royal Highness, so please guide her!”
While the faces of the guards were brightened by Pina’s confident words, the faces of the Marquis’ knights became dull.
“S-such a law

!”
“Where are you taking someone else’s lady?”
Imperial knights were waiting next to the maids and attendants who got out of the carriage one after another. Their cold eyes shrunk the Imperial knights.
“Liliana is suffering while the Marquis is away, so the benevolent Crown Princess is trying to protect her.”
The Marquis’ knights gritted their teeth in Fina’s response, “Is there a problem?”
Meanwhile, the guards were guiding Pina inside. They brought Liliana, who was trapped in the warehouse room right away.
The captain of the guard noticed that the princess was behind the disturbance, but quietly shut up. It was because he felt sorry for the lady, who even had a child of a man she liked.
“Oh my, you look so pale.”
Pina, who found Liliana sitting in an office chair, kicked her tongue and said. Anna would have shed tears if she saw Liliana like this now.
“Pina!”
“Move slowly. You’re weak

.”
Pina and the maids carefully supported Liriana. Kian’s face, which had been waiting for her, brightened.
“Liliana!”
The imperial knights moved as Kian approached. Pina quickly stopped them.
“It’s all right, he’ll go with me!”
“Do you mean him?”
Compared to other mixed Suin ethnic groups, Kian was less obvious, but some recognized him by looking at his eyes.
“Yes.”
Fortunately, there was only one person who felt uncomfortable with Kian. Kian helped the maids and helped Liliana get into the carriage.
The maids and Pina climbed into the carriage, and the servant sat next to the coachman. The Marquis’ knights gritted their teeth at the sight of royal knights on their respective horses.
“The Marquis will not sit still!”
One of the knights shouted at Pina, and Pina snorted.
“My Highness will not forget that the Marquis abused Lady Liliana!”
“Let’s go!” said Pina, and the carriage started off lightly.
Liliana, sitting next to Kian, was crying tears of joy in his arms.
