Episode 153

Freya let out an absurd laugh.

She never dreamed that such a story would come and go when they were meeting for the succession to the Tower master’s position.

She frowned and said sternly.

What on earth are you going to do with my daughter?

I have something I want to tell you.

Why don’t you tell me.

I want to tell her.

If it’s such an important word, she really won’t want to see you.

Raymond rolled his eyes.

There was really no other reason. He just thought he wanted to see her.

Not long ago, Karina and he had seen each other often, even though they didn’t want to.

They’d even seen each other in a place he’d left without a second thought.

However, after the demigod died in the Golden Forest, he was discarded as if a kite had been cut with a knife.

Now, a month later, he was suffering from a rather serious morbidity.

Why couldn’t he?

Ray, considering what you did to my daughter, kicking your ass at this point is not enough.

Despite Freya’s threat, Raymond did not relent.

As he realized his feelings, he became more desperate.

To the extent that he thought the time spent pointlessly was wasted.

He came here prepared to kneel before Freya.

Please.

Fine. Regardless of what you want to see, Karina won’t flinch every time she hears about you. Even if I take you, she probably won’t show her face.

Did she say she didn’t like me that much?

Freya laughed at Raymond’s words.

You believe in your face and think that way, he can’t like you? What have you been thinking about Karina?

Freya shuddered just thinking about the past of introducing him to Karina.

-I’m fine, Mother. So don’t touch Raymond.

If it weren’t for Karina crying and clinging to her, she would have been fighting Raymond by now.

«At the time, I thought it was because Karina still had feelings for Raymond.»

But I only found out later.

I was afraid I was doing something wrong, so I was afraid.

She was so angry that she wanted to bite her tongue as to why she saw this hot guy and introduced him to her.

If Raymond was in a situation where he could be excluded because he wasn’t the next Tower teacher candidate, I would have ignored him more thoroughly.

Raymond’s expression, as if he was hurt, made her feel refreshed.

He stood up with a stack of papers to deliver.

You’ll be late for the meeting, let’s leave now.

Seeing Raymond with a puzzled expression on his face, Freya smiled.

It was a pity she couldn’t get that image on video.

After hearing the news that Helen would be sent to the border again, we met after a long time.

Although I rented the whole restaurant to calm my father’s anxiety.

After Fio became human and couldn’t follow me, he sent knights and mages to every alley along the way.

I know you’re anxious, but….

«He’s going to say that even if I get married, he’ll follow me to the imperial palace.»

Taking a deep breath, Regina arrived first.

Karina

Her eyes sparkled and she greeted me warmly.

It’s been a while, Regina. How have you been?

Of course I have. You don’t know how much I’ve been looking forward to seeing you.

Me?

Yes, I do. There’s something I want to ask you. I’ll let you know when the others come.

Filia and Helen also arrived while Regina talked non-stop next to me.

Onion soup topped with croutons as an appetizer appeared and the atmosphere cooled down.

Well, what do they want to tell me?

Actually, there was a talk about the Grand Duchess at a social gathering recently.

Are you talking about Tatiana?

Yes.

Regina wrinkled her face and continued with the story.

There are quite a few people who think the Grand Duchess is pitiful. They said that because her prestige fell, she doesn’t go out.

Rumors about her still stir the social world.

Tatiana lived in the Archduke’s residence and did not see anyone.

It is said that Daniel and Wilhelm went to see if she was well, but returned without being able to see her.

Her husband is on the verge of death and the relationship with Raymond has become irreversible, leaving only silence around their bustling entourage.

Secretly leaked a story I heard, but it’s unbelievable after kicking him out of Karin! They say the Grand Duchess is not so greedy, and the other men give her space.

Just as the rumors about me were exaggerated, so were the rumors about Tatiana.

The male protagonists’ supreme love for her stimulated the fantasy of many noble girls.

Thanks to that, there were many fans of Tatiana even among noble girls.

The earring you were talking about back then.

Earring?

Yes, the Grand Duchess recorded some strange comments about His Majesty the Emperor.

Ah.

I completely forgot.

In fact, there was no situation adverse enough to wear it.

You mean something.

But, it’s a bit embarrassing to go on like this!

The family has completely fallen apart, but not even that much.

No, I agree with Regina.

Even Helen, who was silent, intervened.

Karina, you will soon become the Empress, so it may be a great burden to have a strong supporter of the Grand Duchess.

I agree with Sir Helen.

When I arrived in Filia, I realized that I was looking at the situation too easily.

Obviously, Tatiana did not put me in a very good position, as there was very little social activity.

If Karina doesn’t feel like taking the initiative, leave it to us.

Regina said, pounding her fists on the table.

I’ll think about it some more.

Still hesitant.

True, Tatiana was greedy, but her life was somewhat ruined because of the bracelet.

Even after dinner, I couldn’t stop thinking about Tatiana.

I thought of her as the devilish woman who held and shook my life.

But in reality, it was just that the bracelet convinced him because she was greedy.

Anyway, life is short.

I heard from Aster’s deputy butler that Tatiana’s condition weakened noticeably due to the side effect of overuse of the bracelet’s power.

I wanted to see Tatiana.

It seemed that it would be easier to make a decision if I reviewed her condition in front of my eyes.

* * *

Welcome, princess.

There was nothing that couldn’t be done with the most powerful people in the empire.

Tatiana had already lost control of the Archduke’s residence, and Aster communicated with the Archduke’s residence to allow me to meet her.

Come this way. Madame is waiting in the drawing room.

As I walked behind the butler who guided me, I looked inside the Grand Duke’s residence after a long absence.

It was decorated with bright colors as before, but somehow there was an aura as if absent.

There are not many people working there.

Yes, because we only use a part of the mansion, so there is no need to make a big house.

Following the butler, it occurred to me that it would be better for Tatiana to have Andrew lying in bed.

If he wakes up, he will be expelled from this mansion and from the capital.

Perhaps he would lose his position as a nobleman.

Your Majesty, Princess Pioneer has arrived.

As soon as I reached the hall, the butler announced my visit from outside the door.

There was no response from inside, but the butler did not mind and opened the door.

Come in.

It was evident that he did not think of Tatiana as the owner.

I gave the butler a slight wave and went in.

There sat Tatiana in a cardigan over her pajamas.

There were red handprints all over her body, probably because she was forcibly dragging something she didn’t want to cum in.

I said as I sat down in the chair across from Tatiana.

I want to talk to you alone, would you mind stepping away for a moment?

Yes, princess.

The maids looked at Tatiana and disappeared outside.

It’s been a while, Tati.

Are you here to tease me?

I’m not.

Tatiana turned her head, biting her lips.

They say you haven’t even seen Daniel.

What good are they all? Everyone hated me.

They were always close as friends.

You ruined me, and now you come and say that?

Tatiana said to me in a very suppressed voice.

I was about to get angry because everything I had been doing had vanished like a bubble.

I brought up a question that had never left my mind.

You turned back time, did you really want to have all the other guys too?
