A Red Lady (12)
In the meantime, Liliana was crying in the arms of the Suin man. Marquis Wenson was incredible and furious.
“Your Highness! Your Highness! It can’t be like this!”
The Crown Prince’s eyes, seeing the marquis being dragged out, were clearly full of signs of enjoying the situation. The prince’s expression was calm, but Marquis Wenson was convinced of it.
“…Marquis, be glad you didn’t end up in prison after showing such rudeness in front of me.”
The door of the palace was closed while the marquis was anxiously crying for His Highness. The Marquis of Wenson realized that the road to drag Liliana home with it was closed for good.
‘I can’t do this!’
It was a moment when the flames of stupid revenge burned in his mind.

It was Rowena, the Crown Princess, who was waiting for Liliana to come out of the palace. She knew that if she went out with her beforehand, she would increase Marquis Wenson’s wrath.
So Rowena couldn’t go out with Liliana and was waiting behind her.
“Liliana!”
Liliana, who came out with Kian’s help, was in his arms as soon as she saw Rowena.
He was making so much noise in front of the crown prince! She was afraid to fight with her father over words, but she was afraid to speak in front of the crown prince.
But she had to speak out herself.
If Kian said it, it would later be said that the marriage was against her will. So she plucked up her courage and said it.
For the sake of her freedom.
Now that the moment was over and she got out of the palace, her body trembled. She wondered what she was thinking of screaming in front of the crown prince.
She couldn’t make eye contact with the crown prince for a moment, but just being in the same space was scary.
As Liliana trembled in her arms without saying a word, Rowena looked at Kian as if asking.
“It ended well. The Marquis was very angry, but his people stopped him.”
“I think my father hates me. He probably hates me…….”
Liana said so, dripping with tears. She was prepared, but even though he was a harsh father, she felt a corner of her heart ache.
“I knew…… My heart aches even though I know.”
“I’m sorry, Liliana.”
Liliana opened her eyes wide and shook her head hurriedly when Kian apologized.
“No, it’s not Kian’s fault. I’ve always dreamed of being with someone I love. If I lived my father’s way…… I would have lived my life, hating myself.”
Liliana, who raised her head from Rowena’s arms, saw Kian.
“Meeting you was the luckiest thing in my life. Our child is with us right now, you and I can be happy.”
At Liliana’s words, Kian bowed her head and kissed the top of her head. Rowena also kissed Liliana’s forehead.
“I’ll help you, too.”
Liliana shook her head vigorously at Rowena’s whisper.
“You:ve already helped too much. I don’t want you to be in any more trouble because of me. As soon as I get well, I’ll leave here and go somewhere where the two of us can live.”
“But you have a child. Wouldn’t it be better to have a child and stay here until the child grows up to some extent?”
But Liliana’s idea was adamant.
She was going to leave the palace after the beginning of her pregnancy.
Of course, when they’re avoiding him, she’ll have to get Rowena’s help again. If she stayed here, Rowena might have to be ostracized by the nobles.
Even if Liliana and Kian were officially recognized by the temple as a couple, it will be no different.
At a time when discrimination against the Suin tribe was rampant, the princess who brought a Suin man and an aristocrat lady together would not look good in their eyes.
Furthermore, Rowena was in a position where her parents could not properly support her. Liliana, who knew her aristocratic physiology, wanted to avoid her so that they would not harm Rowena any more.
“That’s enough for now. Thank you for saving me, Rowena. You are always my hero.”
Liliana clasped Rowena’s hands and kissed the back of his hand. She wanted to repay her for her help, but she felt sorry that sje had no power.
“Wherever I go, I won’t forget to wish you happiness, Rowena.”

Perhaps because of the position of the marquis, the knights did not throw Marquis Wensen away. However, being driven out of the imperial palace by the knights was a disgrace in itself.
‘The Crown Prince, you punk!’
In Marquis Wenson’s mind, he did not think that the idea of ​​being recognized as married after registering as a different identity. He naturally thought that Cecil or someone close to Cecil had come up with a trick.
‘The Imperial Family can’t do this! Even during the time of Count Krimeyer, many nobles stood up…….’
The emperor, who was now bedridden, summarized the appeal in one word.
“Then will you go to war and stop the barbarians on the border? I’ll send it to the nobles in the order if you wrote your name on this appeal.”
Not only did the emperor say so, but he even picked some of the most dissatisfied nobles and sent them to the border. Two of the three nobles who went out died.
