“I guess you like it here.”
When she turned her head, Alfred, the chamberlain, was smiling mildly.
“Are you here, Chief Chamberlain?”
“I don’t know if I disturbed your rest.”
“No, but what brings you here?”
“I came to see Lady Priscilla.”
Priscilla tilted her head.
“You came to see me?”
“Yes.”
“What’s the matter?”
“I have something to tell you about the hunting festival.”
Priscilla offered a seat.
“For now, please sit down.”
Alfred, the chamberlain, sat opposite Priscilla.
“You’ve been drinking tea.”
“Can I get you a drink?”
“Thank you.”
Priscilla poured a cup of tea for Alfred, the chamberlain.
Alfred, the chamberlain, took a sip of the tea and parted his lips.
“Priscilla will accompany His Majesty at this hunting festival.”
Priscilla’s forehead narrowed.
“A companion for His Majesty?”
“That’s right. Lady Priscilla will use the same carriage as His Majesty and attend the hunting festival escorted by the Emperor’s direct escort knights.”
‘This Emperor is really.’
Priscilla was stunned and speechless.
“I thought it would be better to know in advance, so I came to see you like this.”
“Do I have to go to the hunting festival?”
“Don’t you want to go?”
“Yes, I don’t want to go.”
Alfred, the chamberlain, smiled faintly.
“It will be difficult to be absent.”
“His Majesty will not allow me not to attend.”
Instead of an answer, Alfred, the chamberlain, nodded.
Oh, she really want to go sit down.
Besides, wouldn’t all the attention be on her accompanying the Emperor.
It is obvious that he intended to spread the word openly.
“This means that you’re going to provoke Jestina into something. By using me.’
Priscilla bit her lip.
The more she thought about it, the more she got annoyed.
It was depressing to live in a strange world but the Emperor tried to use her and the villainess was properly watching her, she worried about the future.

Jestina was watering flowers in a greenhouse inside the Rosemary Palace.
The greenhouse was full of her favorite plants, and she was growing them herself.
Jestina controlled herself by watering the flowers.
But as soon as she heard Ran’s story, she picked the flower without realizing it.
“What did you just say?”
“His Majesty will ride a carriage with Lady Priscilla at this hunting festival.”
“Two of them in a carriage?”
“Yes.”
“Is that certain information?”
“I heard it directly from the Emperor’s palace knight.”
Jestina threw the flower in her hand on the floor and crushed it with her feet.
“What a spectacle. Now you’re going to do that?”
Ran looked at Jestina’s countenance with a restless face.
“You must be thinking of publicizing it for sure.”
If that happens, the aristocrats of the empire, who have been lining up for them, may turn their backs on her.
They would find Priscilla favored by the Emperor.
For a woman living in the Concubine Palace, the Emperor’s favor was the most powerful weapon.
Priscilla would go together with him, so she would work hard to impress him.
Then her position would be narrower and narrower and narrower.
In addition, if Priscilla has a child, she may lose her place entirely.
Jestina clenched her fist.
“I can’t do this.”
Priscilla cannot be left to watch.
Although she was afraid of the warnings that the Emperor had given her in the past, what was even more frightening was that she might not be able to accomplish anything here.
“How have I endured…. A beggar appears!”
At first, she hoped for the Emperor’s love.
But the Emperor didn’t even look at her. He just treated her like a beautiful ornamental fish.
She was just one of the beautiful fish in the fishbowl for the Emperor.
But it was okay. Because there was hope that one day she could win the heart of the Emperor.
So she tried.
She had consistently proved that she was the only fish that suited him best.
Sometimes she appealed to him with money, sometimes with power, sometimes with her beauty.
However, a creature that suddenly rolled in was trying to take everything away from her.
“The seat next to the Emperor is mine. I can’t give way to anyone.”
She didn’t even want the Emperor’s love anymore.
She had realized over the years that it was impossible.
Then she should have the most honorable seat.
That’s all she has got for now. So she attracted the aristocrats of the empire and used their power to build her foundation.
As a result, no princess in the palace could touch her.
“It’s only a little more.”
Now, one step further, the glorious and noble position was just around the corner.
But Priscilla was going to ruin everything.
“If only she hadn’t shown up…”
She wanted to take her away from my eyes forever.
Once Priscilla was gone, the Emperor would choose her.
She was confident of making it happen.
She can do what the Emperor wants.
“Only Priscilla needs to be gone.”
Now the Emperor was only briefly fascinated by Priscilla’s beauty.
He’ll come to his senses when she’s gone.
The world is full of beautiful women.
“Ran, where are the order of knights to be deployed at this hunting festival other than the one directly under His Majesty?”
“This time the Knights of the Dukes Ezebel and Fabian are coming.”
When the hunting festival was held, the knights of each aristocratic family took turns to escort the nobles.
This is because the Imperial Knights only escorted the Imperial Family.
“If the two princes attend, the princesses will also come.”
“The only princess coming is from Ezebel.”
“Fabian’s isn’t coming?”
“Duke Fabian said the youngest Prince was coming.”
“The youngest Prince is coming?”
“Yes.”
“That bastard is coming. That’s great.”
Jestina smiled heavily.
The youngest Prince of the Ducal House of Fabian, he was a troublemaker.
He couldn’t get enough of pretty women.
So she used him a few times. Of course, it was a great success.
‘I could easily get rid of things like a thorn in my eye.’
The Emperor did not forgive princesses for committing injustice, so he trampled not only her but also the country to which she belonged.
‘I’ll have to weave it well this time and get rid of Priscilla.’
Jestina, who made up her mind, left the greenhouse and headed for the study.
Jestina, who wrote a letter in her study, delivered it to Ran.
“Ran, pass this on to Prince Chris.”
“Yes, Lady Jestina.”
Ran, with the letter in his arms, left the study.
‘Looks like she’s thinking of using Prince Chris again.’
Jestina had used Prince Chris several times.
It was because of the taste of Prince Chris, who liked pretty women.
Naturally, the subjects were the princesses in the Concubine Palace, and Jestina tied them together.
Of course, Prince Chris got away cleverly.
It was nothing to escape that much suspicion as a member of the Duke’s family in the empire.
‘Looks like I’m going to pay for a portrait again this time.’
It’s obvious if you don’t see it.
Obviously, she would say that Priscilla seduced him.
Prince Chris was happy to have fun with a pretty girl, and Jestina was happy to clear the way, so the two of them worked well together.
“Phew.”
Ran secretly prayed for Priscilla’s soul, hung her letter on a telegram and sent it to Prince Chris.
Perhaps, Prince Chris who received the letter will die of joy.
~~~~~
A huge castle on the east side of the Frances Empire.
It is the site of the Duke of Fabian, which had a long history of 500 years.
Prince Chris, the youngest there, received a lot of love from a young age and grew up with nothing to envy.
There was no fate of the eldest son who had to inherit the family, and he could live as he wanted.
In addition, his face was fair, so many women followed him.
Even today, he was rolling around with a maid with his fair face.
The top of the bed was literally full of traces of promiscuity.
“W,here did these pretty things come from?”
He grabbed her maid’s nose lightly and twisted it.
“Prince, please…”
“Shall we see if it’s pretty here, too?”
Chris grabbed the maid’s leg like a wolf.
He looked as if he was going to eat her at any moment.
Underneath, the maid made a fuss.
“Gah, Prince, it tickles.”
“Eoheung*!”
*TN: Laughter
“Kyaha!”
Something kept knocking on the window as he was rolling happily.
Pop, pop, pop.
Chris looked at the window with an annoyed face.
“It’s annoying. What!”
A pigeon sat down at the window and pecked at the window with its beak.
Pop, pop.
Chris, who raised himself, swept his hair roughly. Then he beckoned to the maid.
“Hey, get out of here.”
“What?”
“Go ahead.”
“Oh, yes.”
The maid hurried out of the room with her clothes on.
Chris opened the window roughly in his gown.
“What is it this time?”
Chris took the letter out of the pigeon’s foot and read it.
He smoothed his chin with an interesting face.
“Oh, Priscilla…”
Priscilla, the beautiful princess of the Duchy of Oren.
A princess who was easily abandoned because she was not of pure blood.
She was coming to the hunting festival, even though she hides in the palace.
Chris ran his tongue over his lips. His eyes were filled with taste.
“The hunting festival is not fun, but if Priscilla comes, the story will be different.”
His body has already heated up.
Thinking of something to soothe his overheated body, he left the room.
~~~~~
The day of the hunting festival had dawned. Priscilla was attended by Rien* and Lili who focused on her dressing up.
*TN: It was spelling Riel but that hasn’t come up before so I think they meant Rien
“What do you mean, a dress for a hunting festival? I’ll wear comfortable clothes.”
“Usually, all women wear dresses to attend the hunting festival. Only the women who directly participate in the hunt change into comfortable clothes in their own barracks.”
“Are the other women still wearing dresses?”
“Yes, they wait while enjoying refreshments until the hunt is over.”
“What is that, should I just make an excuse about being sick?”
“I don’t think it’s going to work?”
“Shall I try?”
“Of course it won’t work.”
Priscilla’s head turned at the sudden voice.
A moment of silence for everything that will fall to ruin because of Justina’s greed and Chris’s wretched personality
Its really not fair that they would also brings their family and innocent lives down to hell with them…
