Chapter: 316

‘But she can’t be punished for lack of evidence.’

The maid, who was caught as the kidnapper, was tortured by him, but she died without mentioning the name of the Marchioness.

Kaizen looked at Marquis Croychen with annoyance.

If the wife is severely punished, the husband, Marquis Croychen, must be punished as well.

It is not a pity to kill such a woman, but Kaizen could not lose such a loyal subject just because of his wife and daughter.

“The Marchioness has a problem with her conduct, so tell her to stay in the mansion, she will be on house arrest.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generous disposition.”

“And I hope that in the future your daughter will not come to see me again without my permission.”

At Kaizen’s cold voice, anxious gazes moved over him.

Everyone here knew that Florin of the Croychen family was the most likely candidate for the Empress seat.

But the emperor was saying that he would not see the daughter of the Croychen family anymore.

Marquis Croychen’s purple eyes fluttered anxiously.

But he obeyed the orders without hesitation.

“Yes, Your Majesty. In the future, my daughter will not cause any concern to you.”

Beyond those terrified eyes, he was thinking of a new strategy to use.

Kaizen trusted and kept this clever and loyal man by his side, but he was too greedy for his own good.

He was trying to make Florin the Empress.

At the time, Kaizen did not pay much attention to who others elected as new empress.

He was too busy dealing with the civil war and running state affairs, so he did not have time to worry about such things.

‘Florin. She is only a little girl who has just reached adulthood.’

Greed would continue to grow without end. Kaizen was planning to cut off the bud before it causes any bigger problems.

If the Marchioness and Marianne were clearly punished, the Marquis would not be able to push Florin in.

The meeting ended in an unsettling atmosphere.
