“You want to ask?”

“Yes. It may be a little rude, but I hope you will answer me.”

Lumiere nodded her head with a surprised expression behind. Still, Elysia had no interest in talking back and forth.

“Is the person the Lady has a heart for, Duke Esteban?”

It was really straightforward.

Lumiere paused, then blushed her face and lowered her head.

She thought Lumiere was answering openly like that. Because of that, she smiled bitterly at the fact that she had confirmed herself.

“…Yes.”

Elysia closed her eyes tightly then opened them.

‘Yes, let’s say Lumiere can’t do what she wants with Cassian.’

So, how should Elysia accept her behavior at the jeweler?

“You asked me to pick the cufflinks, even though you knew I was engaged to Cassian?”

Even thinking about it now, that was a really dirty move.

How easy did Lumiere think of Elysia…?

Thinking that, Elysia took a small deep breath as her hands holding Der seemed to be getting stronger.

Although Lumiere didn’t say anything.

“It’s really…disappointing. It’s time to be honest.”

She then lowered her magic stone.

Lumiere glanced down at the Magic Stone without saying a word for a long time. Meanwhile, Elysia slowly waited for her to answer it.

“As expected, the Lady has it.”

Lumiere answered in an overly calm tone.

Elysia was thinking of giving her one last chance. An opportunity to make excuses.

“Say anything. Why did you do that?”

Then, in an instant, Lumiere’s eyes changed. The angelic face instantly disappeared, and venom stood in the transparent green eyes.

Elysia frowned at the face she was seeing now. ‘Who the hell was the female lead in the original story?’

The difference was too great.

“Because… You took what was mine. I wanted you to be gone.”

Lumiere smiled faintly and picked up the magic stone, while Elysia put Der down and walked over to her with a smile.

And, she stuck Lumiere’s cheeks together and raised them up.

“Kyaak! What… what is this!”

“If you want to die, you have to die alone. Don’t do something like that to me. Everyone in there almost died. You know?”

Lumiere pushed her body and covered her cheeks.

The recoil of her pushing the chair back made Ryan, who felt a commotion, enter the drawing room.

Elysia reached out her hand and signaled Ryan not to come closer.

“No matter what with the Lady, I won’t stand this.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lumiere raised her arms. At the same time, two hands held her arms that were raised up.

One was Elysia’s hand, and the other was Ryan’s hand.

Lumiere started to laugh in amazement.

“It’s really amazing. How is it that you can steal other people’s men so well?”

Elysia signaled Ryan to step back once more. She pulled Lumiere’s arm away without letting go.

The two eyes met in the distance.

It was Elysia who opened her mouth and asked first.

“Who is the Lady’s man? Cassian? Or, the Crown Prince? I don’t think either of them was the Lady’s man, am I wrong?”

“I met the Duke first. I took him to my heart first. And, isn’t the Lady too much?”

As she continued speaking, Lumiere’s voice rose.

Elysia let go of her arm that was holding Lumiere tightly and spoke in a cold voice. “Do you want that man? Then, don’t mess around behind the scenes and take him away.”

Saying so, she sat back down in the chair with a relaxed look she had regained.

Aside from being angry, she was now a little embarrassed. She never thought she would show her true nature like this in an instant.

Elysia took a sip of her tea and smiled with a seductive face towards Lumiere.

“I’ll let him go if he likes you. Give it a try.”

Deciding that she had nothing more to say, Elysia motioned for Ryan to call the servants. Though Ryan wasn’t the only one who felt the fuss. Philip, including several knights, entered.

“Madam, did you call me?”

“Lady Blanche says she’s leaving, so take her.”

“Understood.”

Lumiere was no longer the female lead to Elysia.

At Marquisate Blanche, the screams of the maid echoed through the Marquisate with the sound of things breaking. The maid, who was hit in the head by an object Lumiere had thrown, sat down, bleeding.

“Oh, lady, save me. Heuk…”

“I don’t want to see you, so leave now.”

The maid watching from behind hurriedly left the room, supporting her bleeding colleague.

Even after she met Elysia, her heart did not calm down.

“What? Madam?”

It wasn’t even funny. She was pretending to be the mistress when she hadn’t even been married yet. Elysia had no idea how surprised she was to receive the invitation to come to the Duchy of Esteban.

Lumiere, gnawing her nails, walked around the room with an anxious face.

For some reason, the Crown Prince, who acted as if he was going to use his hand right away, was also quiet.

Right now, Elysia’s wedding was only about a week away.

Lumiere took the magic stone from her arms. She was glad that Elysia had brought the Magic Stones with her.

It didn’t matter if Elysia had it. She wouldn’t be able to bring it to trial.

Lumiere, too, knew that Elysia could use tracking magic.

She wants to know how much Elysia has done since she wouldn’t know if it was something she had carefully prepared for.

However, Lumiere didn’t expect Elysia to ask so openly, so she revealed her true feelings just like that—No, it was because she became anxious because she felt like she was going to miss the man because of that ‘Madam’ title.

“It doesn’t matter. What will change if that woman finds out?”

The Duke of Esteban has to be her man. If Elysia hadn’t followed her, of course, she would have been the protagonist of this wedding.

“That man is mine. I found him first…”

If it hadn’t been for Elysia, Cassian would have loved her.

At that moment, she heard the butler speaking along with the knock.

“Lady, the Master is looking for you.”

“…Yes.”

Lumiere, who wiped the bloodstains from her hands, moved her steps.

After she arrived at the study, she struggled to calm her mind and changed her expression.

Lumiere entered the study with a bright smile that anyone could recognize.

“Father, I heard you call me.”

“It’s noisy.”

The way he looked at her daughter was too indifferent.

After confirming that there was no significant progress with the Crown Prince, the Marquis stared at her with such expressionless or pathetic eyes from then on.

It was just before the subjugation that she confidently said she would win the heart of Duke Esteban.

If it weren’t for Elysia… If it wasn’t for her, Lumiere would have no reason to be treated like this.

How could she vulgarly lure him with her body?

Rumors had spread that they had spent the night together at the last Imperial banquet, and no one of the other nobles thought it strange, like a fool.

It was because Cassian, who could not take his eyes off Elysia, and Elysia, who was too familiar with it, felt real in the eyes of others. None of the nobles thought she was luring him with her body.

But, there were more people who thought that Cassian had seduced Elysia.

“…I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful in the future.”

She erased the smile from her face and moved her steps to sit across from the Marquis.

“I never told you to sit down.”

“…Yes?”

“What the hell are you doing?”

Lumiere bit her lip with a lost face.

The Marquis, who saw Lumiere with tears in her eyes, got up and raised his voice.

“Every business of the family is crumbling!”

The Marquis couldn’t even figure out who was using their hand. The only clue was a note telling him to crack down on his daughter.

In addition, it wasn’t until the news that investors were collecting back their investment hour by hour did he realize who it was. There was only one place, the Duchy of Esteban, who could shake up their family business with this amount of cash.

“You know they are going to marry.”

“Father! I still…”

“Shut up. You need to know your place. I save you from a life like an idiot, but you hit the back of my head every now and then? Get out of here.”

Lumiere clenched her fist tightly.

It shouldn’t be like this… She had to do something.

Cassian was looking at the documents in the Imperial Palace, and when he saw an uninvited guest, he got up and took a bow.

“Greetings, Crown Prince.”

Then, he sat back down on the chair without offering the Crown Prince a seat.

His attitude toward the Crown Prince was extremely inappropriate, though it was the limit of his patience as he wanted to pull out his sword right away.

Revos sat on the sofa in the office with a shameless face.

“What’s the matter?”

“Isn’t it a wonder?”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“It’s about touching the Second Prince, and touching the Marquisate of Blanche,” Cassian asked if it was just that question, and leaned back leisurely on his chair.

Guess Revos wasn’t stupid.

“Do you really need to go that far?”

Cassian raised an eyebrow. He can’t believe that Revos was now coming to say pathetic things. Perhaps he was quite impatient, so he even gave up the habit of raising his words all the time and was talking nonsense.

“First, I’m telling you that you broke the rules.”

“What does that mean!”

“I clearly said that I would support Your Highness as a condition of marrying Lady Lowell, but not voluntarily.”

Revos clenched his fists. He never expected that Cassian would act before he could even use his hand.

Cassian stared at the trembling fists.

“Clarify your attitude, whether you will give up on Lady Lowell and join hands with me, or will you turn into a hostile relationship with me.”

“…Are you threatening me, the Crown Prince?”

“I’m just offering a negotiation proposal. The Duchy of Esteban will be a strong ally if your Highness puts your mind to it.”

Revos was better than the mysterious Second Prince because he was so easy to deal with, even though he was stupid.

Perhaps Revos will rule the country without any major problems.

Neither good nor bad, just at an average level.

“So, choose.”

In fact, there was no time to choose.

Revos had already made up his mind.

It was because the Emperor had woken up because the Duke of Esteban had sent high-ranking priests one after another to the Imperial Palace with money.

The Emperor, who woke up to understand the situation, immediately called Revos and yelled at him, saying if he wanted to give up his position as the Crown Prince.

If he had to choose between the throne and Elysia, he would choose the throne without hesitation.

“I accept the offer of the Lord. I will give up cleanly on Lady Lowell.”

“Yes. Then, let’s hear what the conversation you had with Lady Blanche was.”
