The Marquis of Wenson was embarrassed when he realized that the conversation was not going as he had thought. Rumors seemed to have already spread that he verbally abused the security captain and fought with an official he met for an audience. In particular, it was the Duke’s nephew who was considered to be a low-ranking noble, who made him embarrassed.
“… If they’re already officially married and have children, what are you trying to get her back?”
“The other person is a Suin person, right? Ha, I wonder what kind of person stole the young lady of that famous family.”
“I’ve heard rumors, but can you put in a word so that I can look good to the Crown Princess and take the position of her maid of honor?”
To make such insulting remarks, the Marquis found no way but to get angry and leave his seat.
At this rate, if his daughter confessed that she had been kidnapped by that Suin tribe, no noble would believe it. Only belatedly did Marquis Wenson realize that it was rumored that he had imprisoned Liliana in an underground warehouse.
There were even rumors that she had a heartfelt conversation with her husband of the Suin tribe through the barred door of the Marquis family. Some ladies and young ladies even considered it romantic.
“Are you all out of your mind?”
Marquis Wenson felt like screaming.
In anger, he wanted to shout that the Suin knight was the escort of the Crown Princess, and that Liliana had been seduced into falling for him, but it would have been like digging his own grave.
‘How can I relieve this injustice?’
Judging from the atmosphere, it seemed that it would be possible to speak to the aristocrats only after the wedding celebration was over. The Marquis despaired at the thought that it would not be very favorable to him.
“I heard… I heard that it is Her Highness the Crown Princess who is protecting the daughter of the Marquis. His Highness, the Crown Prince, seems to have calmed down a lot now, but you know how he feels when he gets angry.”
The only nobles who did not see the crown prince wield a sword rarely attended banquets, and local nobles who did not know the crown prince’s face.
He tends to take care of those necessary for the State Council or the duties of the emperor, but other than that, it was not strange even if one was decapitated on the spot.
It was for this reason that some of the young ladies who wanted to become crown princesses were not persistent. If they’re wrong, he’ll really kill them.
lIn the eyes of some nobles, the fact that Her Highness, the Crown Princess, sided with the Marquise’s daughter, soaked in romantic feelings, viewed the Marquis as making matters worse out of jealousy.
‘I’m saying this because I don’t know her viciousness!’
Marquis Wenson galloped out of the club.
It wasn’t something to give up just yet. Even if he loses a little bit, he can trade by handing over the landmass of a part of the territory and the interests of the business he own.
That’s what the aristocracy did anyway. A relationship of joining forces for each other.
Marquis Wenson, who roughly snatched his cane from the servant, got into the carriage.

Rowena wanted to spend time with Liliana, but Cecil had no intention of doing so. It was the last day of the five-day vacation he had planned for a long time. Cecil was determined because the five days were not entirely his and Rowena’s.
“Can’t we meet when I’m working?”
Of course, around that time, Rowena would also start working and studying as the Crown Princess.
“After I get off work, you are only mine. I’ll never share you with anyone else, so keep that in mind.”
“But I might separate with Lili someday…….”
“We don’t know if you two will separate in a few months or not. If we persuade the marquis, she can stay in the capital as it is.”
As Cecil spoke, Rowena looked at him in case.
“Do you think you can persuade the Marquis?”
“No. He will think he is smart and self-destruct by doing something stupid. About… about a 60% chance?”
“It’s not that easy to say.”
Rowena blamed Cecil, but neither the Marquis Wenson nor his family were important. It is said that there are only eight marquis families in the empire, but not all have power.
Among them, five families joined hands with Cecil, and the other three also struggled to win Cecil’s favor.
“I wonder if the Marquis had changed his mind and had the heart to educate his grandson well…”
It was true that the future of Marquis Wenson looked bleak. Liliana will take Kian and her child and run away.
The remaining option is for the marquis to have children now, but considering the age of the marquis, it was difficult to say that it was very likely. Marquis Wenson was ten years older than Rowena’s father, Paul Adelia.
He seemed to have intended to have Liliana become the Crown Princess and have her daughter bear many children, so that she could succeed his title.
If possible, raise the title of the family to a duke or grand duke.
Of course, it was a dream that had passed by now.
‘It’s not something that will happen so I’m not worried.’
Liliana’s departure from the Marquis family was ultimately caused by Marquis Wenson. Whatever the outcome, he will have to accept it.
