Calen Castle
–
“What do you want to do with Sylvia Chaister?” They followed Killian into the room, and he looked at the three who were sitting huddled together in his private office.
But they seemed to have no intention of opening their lips, shamelessly asking for tea.
“Never mind, because the doctor said she will die soon.
If she is dead, send her body back to Chaister’s family.”
Oswald falou sobre o tratamento dispensado a Sylvia caída com um sorriso no rosto, como se continuasse protestando que o trabalho o perseguia até o escritório.
“Are you going to leave Chaister’s family alone?”
“I can't do this.
I will deprive him of his viscount title and property.
The official accusation of Sylvia Chaister is a mistake.
She broke in to poison me, but she was caught by my personal maid and made it up.
Fortunately, with Duke Martin's testimony, she failed to incriminate the maid.
Announce that she tried to commit suicide.”
"Suicide?" Adam protested, seeing that the Prince would cover it up like that.
“Sylvia Chaister can’t open her mouth anyway.
A witness who cannot testify about who is behind the scenes is useless.
So, I would rather put all the sins on Chaister and step on just one person completely.”
“I'm sure she didn't do it alone.
What are you going to do with the person behind the scenes?”
“Francis will be here soon, so there's no need to mess around in exchange for finding someone behind the scenes without evidence.
I want you to finish this work today.
But keep an eye on the Baroness, especially after Francis arrives, if she contacts him or shows any strange signs.”

Killian called Albert after they all left the room after a brief meeting.
“What about Juliet?”
“I just brought her a meal.”
“Ask a servant and a maid to replace Jeff and Juliet.”
“A maid should follow us when she comes from Austern, she will be here soon.
So why did you suddenly say that?”
Albert asked carefully why his boss was strange, asking him to find a new maid to replace Juliet, whom he loved so much, to the point of taking care of all the meals.
“In the future, when Juliet and I are alone in the room, Albert, you must not enter.”
“Your, Your Highness?”
He was saying that Juliet would be his master's wife.
Ignoring the incredibly surprised look in Albert's incredulous eyes, Killian continued giving orders.
“I will even give her a seat in the Imperial Castle when I return to Austern.
So be prepared accordingly.”
It was an indication that she was different from the women in the Harrods mansion.
Granting a seat in the Imperial Castle meant that Juliet's status would change, and Albert's mouth, who understood the meaning, was open.
But Killian only got up after saying what he had to say.

Juliet breathed a sigh of relief, smoothing her chest as her employer left the room.
She was so relieved that she wouldn't be caught with her face bare, but she felt so ashamed that she was going to die.
Juliet had been struggling for a long time and jumped up.
‘Well, he’s naked every day, so I can treat it like that.
Let's think of this as a casual conversation.
Well, it's my disadvantage if I waste energy on what happened, if I'm ashamed of it, since I have so many difficult and tiring things in my life.
Let’s get some sleep.’
She didn't care about the particular thing that had happened, but after being mesmerized, she jumped again in less than ten minutes.
Hunger kept her awake.
He said he would send her a meal, but she forgot after drying her hair and struggled with embarrassment.
Julieta decided to make plans for her future job before meal time and remembered Marquis Anais as she took the bag full of money out of her purse.
When something dangerous happened to her, the first person who came to mind was the marquis.
It seemed to him that he was expecting something from him without knowing it.
Juliet shook her head quickly, thinking about Marquis Anais and the daughter she had seen at the theater earlier.
Seeing him go to the theater to affectionately enjoy the opera for his daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, it was clear that he wanted to forget that there was another daughter in a corner of the theater.She remembered the day, when she was five years old, when she was evicted from a cozy mansion.
The image of Stella's heartbreak as she asked the doorman, Zimmer, to tell her that when the Marquis returned, they would be at the Eileen Theater.
But the Marquis hadn't come, and suddenly, Maribel moved Stella and Juliet, who were living in a warehouse on the first floor, to her secret room in the innermost part of the theater to live in hiding.
It was after Stella's death that Juliet, who had been hiding like that for six months, was released after starting to apply metum fruit juice to her face and wearing a stiff red wig on her head.
Juliet remembered her dark past and thought she was lucky that her employer saved her.
If she had asked Marquis Anais with the expectation of being her father and been rejected, she would have been hurt.
She thought it would be better to just pretend they didn't know each other and leave him as someone to depend on just as someone she would turn to for help when something difficult happened.
Juliet thought she felt depressed because she was thinking something strange and placed the bag firmly back in her bag.

Duke Kiellini left the Oval Office under the pretext of tiredness, while the prince went up to the room.
The Duke entered the VIP room, guided by the servant who was waiting in Calen Castle, and asked his servant who had already arrived: “Is it the maid who was locked in the prison?”
“Yes, Your Excellency.
It was almost in vain for us to come here.
I’m glad we arrived on time.”
Kiellini nodded and agreed.
“This is a relief.
It's not easy to find the right person.
Now that she has had a near-death experience, it is even more likely that she will not refuse our offer.”
“Are you going to tell her when she gets back to Austern?”
“I think it would be opportune for me to suggest it, as the maid that Countess Auguste recommended will be arriving soon.”
Duke Kiellini remembered a meeting with the owner of the Eileen Theater, whom he had secretly met two months ago.
* * * * *
“Your Excellency, it is an honor to have you here” Maribel, who didn't look any older even after several years, officially came to greet him in the box he had arrived at to see the opera.
“Maribel, long time no see.
Thank you for taking the time.” Although she was a woman he despised, Kiellini greeted her gently without showing his reluctance.
“I should thank you for visiting us like this.” Maribel greeted him with the utmost politeness, hiding her curiosity as to why the head of the Kiellini family, the Emperor's maternal family, and the most prestigious family, was visiting her.
“I don't have much time until the curtain goes up and I don't want to hear anything about it, so I'll just say the main point.
Find a girl in her late teens with blonde hair and green eyes.”
Maribel was surprised by Duke Kiellini's words.
For a long time, she had been a matchmaker for actresses who wanted sponsors, apprentices who wanted wealth and luxury, and aspiring actresses who went to the theater.
She connected them to wealthy aristocrats and merchants, which helped the Eileen Theater become the best theater on the continent.
Just in time, the right girl refused to accept his suggestion with firm confidence, left and had a hard time.
Normally, she would have gone ahead as planned without saying a word, but as she took care of her, she showed rare compassion and listened to the child's request.
Maribel was proud that she came back to pay the money every month.
Juliet was one of the few people she cared about so rarely and looked forward to the day that came every month.
