It was her aunt who came into the room after Camilla
.
My aunt, who was sitting next to me, looked at them expressionlessly
.
“
I'm sorry we couldn't serve you well because you came without saying so beforehand
“
She expressed her dissatisfaction with the two people who came without my consent
.
Camilla sighed
.
“
You are so humble
.
They have served us well
“
The tea served to the Empress and Camilla was indeed very modest
.
However, the aunt admitted that she had committed a disrespectful act and apologized
.
But the Empress said
:
“
That's decent
“
She spoke innocently as if she were the victim here
.
My aunt's eyebrows rose
.
“
I'm sorry
.
If you wish, would you please come back later so that we can serve Your Majesty after getting ready?
“
The polite but clear meaning makes the Empress angry
.
“
You're exaggerating too much
.
I came here for a reason
“
“
What's the reason?
“
“
I heard you're looking for a godmother for the baby
“
"
correct
."
“
She helped me that day, and I always appreciated the little girl
.
The child destined to save the empire must have a godmother worthy of her
.
So I will be the baby's godmother
“
I almost opened my mouth
.
'
What are you talking about?
'
My aunt tried to hide her expression
.
“
Imperial law does not allow the Empress to be someone's godmother
“
“
It's in the laws
.
But the law was only made because noble ladies feared that I would exert my influence everywhere
.
Yet they continued to be nice to me
.
What hypocrisy
“
Camilla looked at the Empress with a stunned expression
.
Camilla said, frowning
:
“
What are you talking about?
“
The most dangerous thing about the Empress's entry into the social world was that she might collaborate privately with the nobility
.
'
The Emperor thinks it's the most dangerous thing
.’
If he heard what she just said, he would probably faint
.
Above all, I will only be the victim
.
Then, will my father stay still?
“
Why?
Aren't you afraid that if I enter society, I will do your part?
“
It seems that the Empress wanted to anger Camilla, but her goal was revealed
.
'
She wanted to take on the role that the Emperor secretly supported
.’
The Emperor took special care of Camilla after all
.
'
Perhaps the Emperor was able to grow up rationally thanks to Camilla's education
.’
Camilla is rational, although she has a fiery temper, and she raised him without any discrimination
.
Camilla said
:
“
Please stop
.
How long do you want to take it all?
“
“
When have I ever cared about you?
!
“
I didn't say that
“
“
That's what you just said
“
I witnessed two women from the highest ranks of the empire fighting
.
I need to end this fight
.
"
Yes
!
Auntie, it's time for Dad to come home
“
I mentioned my father, whom even the royal family feared
.
The Empress and Camilla closed their mouths
.
Especially the Empress, who was targeted by my father and wanted to avoid him because she had a history of suffering from Doppeld's wrath
.
“
I need to come back today
.
I feel sick to see the unpleasant scene
“
Then she left
.
However, Camilla stayed
.
She asked my aunt to conduct a private interview with me
.
“
There's something I have to tell her
.
I would be grateful if you could arrange a place for me to talk to the child
“
When Camilla asked us seriously, my aunt looked at me
.
“
I'm fine with that
!
"…
decent
."
When my aunt heard my answer, she accepted without complaint
.
Camilla barely opened her mouth, just moistening her mouth with tea
.
“
I went to the bakery four days ago
“
She unexpectedly jumped straight to the point
.
I tried to look childish
.
I opened my eyes wide and nodded excitedly
.
“
How do you know that?
“
“
My maid saw you
“
“
Wow, this is awesome
“
“
Didn't you go there with a child?
"
"
Yes
!
It's Lionel
“
Camilla gripped the handle of the teacup tightly
.
“
Is it true that he lived in the forest of castles?
"
"
correct
.
He's been living there since he was born and moved out just last year
“
“…
The child's mother
.
You've met his mother, haven't you?
“
“
I saw his sister, not his mother
.
She knows a lot of interesting stories and I'm so happy to have met someone really nice
.
She is also very considerate
“
“
Have you seen his mother before?
“
“
Lionel lives with his sister
.
I think he doesn't live with his mother
.
Lionel told me a lot about his sister, but rarely about his mother
…
But I can guess he misses her very much
…”
I said with a deliberately sad face, and Camila bit her lip
.
'
I gave you all the hints, Camilla
.’
Camilla looked at me with clear eyes after she calmed down
.
“
Where does this child live?
“
“
In the palace of Count Bartho
.
Mrs. his sister
“
Rumble
!
The sound came from Camilla, who violently placed the teacup on the saucer
.
The maids came quickly, surprised to hear the noise seeping out
.
“
Are you okay?
“
“
So it is noble
…”
The maids were startled by the murmur and closed their mouths
.
I helped Camila, who was about to fall
.
“
Ma'am, are you okay?
“
“
I have another headache
.
How long will this bother me?
“
'
This means she is worried
.’
Whether she would tell her son or not
.
There is no way you wouldn't know about Count Bartho's condition
.
She wonders if it's okay for them to meet again
.
“
I
…”
I looked at Camilla
.
“
I read a book a long time ago
.
The castle forest is always dark, surrounded by trees, but the moment we see the sunset, it is bright
.
Living in the dark isn't always a bad thing
.
You will know the value of darkness when the sun sets
“
“…!”
This will be surprising
.
Camilla wrote this book in secret, hoping it would be a hope for Grand Duke Lockard when he loses his sight
.
'
She had those days
.’
The days when she hopes that her son will not lose hope
.
Now, the Grand Duke has found his sight, regained his will to live, and has a wife and son
.
'
Even if they had a problem, would anything worse than those days happen?
'
This is what the story means
.
“
So a headache is not necessarily bad
.
It makes your body more immune if you suffer from it again
!
“
I added like a child, but Camila kept looking at me
.
“
Ma'am
…
Tell me if you need anything
“
“
Just don't forget me
“
I smiled
.
A few days later, word arrived from the people sent by Ceria to Count Bartho's palace
.
A luxurious carriage came to the palace
.
The Grand Duke found Letizia
.
***
Laura thought as she picked up a coat and cloak
.
“
It would be nice to use a coat because it's cold today, but it's very nice for little miss to wear the cloak
.
What should I do?
“
“
I love the coat
!
The abaya is long and uncomfortable to use while walking
.
Today was my first day at a social party in DC
.
I need to look respectable
.
Laura answered
: “
Yes
“
And I put on my coat
.
When I finished preparing and looked in the mirror, I saw a cute and elegant little miss
.
'
Of course it's Sharon's design
.’
From the coat to the dress, ribbons and shoes, they were all so beautiful
.
As my aunt said, I need to impress upon them my image as the rich and generous little Miss Doppeld
.
My aunt, who had been waiting for me, extended her arm
.
“
Aunty, you are so wonderful
…”
She was wearing a blue coat similar to mine, black pants, which were old, and long, thin shoes.
.
She also used oil and tied her hair
.
There was no one who was so wonderful
.
“
It's your first social party, so I need to take care of my appearance
“
