Chapter: 233

And she accepted her words with a gentle smile. As if she really admired it.

“The Croychen family is a new family, but I have heard that they are a loyal and noble family. After a long time devoted to territorial affairs, they suddenly took on such an important task, so you should be proud of it.”

It sounds like a compliment from beginning to end, but the truth is, the Croychen family is a low-ranking noble who lived only in the countryside.

It was sarcasm to say that she suddenly rose to a high position and became arrogant.

“I beg your pardon?”

The Marchioness shouted sharply.

“Why? I was just praising the Croychen family who is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.”

Astelle’s gentle smile distorted the face of the Marchioness.

“Don’t pretend to be interested in His Majesty. How much do you think that interest will go to his ex-wife, whom he has divorced? If you gossip about the fact that you are in a favorable situation now, you will be seriously injured.”

“Mother!”

“That’s a good thing. I will engrave those words in my heart. I think the Marchioness will always have such a humble attitude.”

Isn’t it the same for you that you’re proud of your family now?

It was such a sarcastic joke.

“This……!”

“……”

Astelle observed Florin quietly.

She really looked like a doll made of sugar candy.

She was a girl who looked sweet, fragile, and soft from her head to toes.

But Astelle was feeling that this little girl wasn’t as cute and naive as she seemed.

“If it’s all right, shall we all go back to the room now?”

Right. That’s the point.

This cute little girl smiles softly even though her mother has just been insulted and left out in anger, and now she asked to go back to the tea room as if nothing happened.

Even though Astelle just insulted her family outright.

She could tell just by looking at her.

That this lady was by no means an ordinary girl.
