Chapter: 411

“Mother!”

Florin ran and stopped the Marchioness.

Unlike the Marchioness, Florin seems to have judged that saying this would not help in the current situation.

If you do something that defames the person the emperor proposes to, it is an insult to the emperor.

However, the marchioness lost her mind the moment she saw the emperor proposing to Astelle.

She slapped her daughter’s hand away and pointed at Astelle.

She said, “You gave birth to an illegitimate child without a father, and you shamelessly appeared in the imperial palace and disguised your illegitimate child as your nephew……!”

The shock spread like a wave at the sudden revelation of the marchioness.

The former empress gave birth to an illegitimate child……

The nobles, who thought that there would be no greater shock than the Emperor’s proposal to the deposed Empress, were dumbfounded at the Marchioness’ words.

Of course, the person who received the most shock was the Duke of Reston.

The duke asked in disbelief, “What, what did you just say?”

Fritz was also puzzled by her father’s reaction.

“Astelle, is that true?”

Astelle did not answer her father’s questions.

She might be caught off guard by her quick-witted father if she says something useless.

Now, there was no reason to explain the past to her father in detail.

The frustrated duke shouted at his daughter,

“Astelle!”

In the midst of confusion, Kaizen opened his mouth,

“Lyndon.”

At Kaizen’s cold voice, the banquet hall, which had been buzzing, became quiet as if cold water had been poured on it.

Kaizen turned to look at Lyndon standing by the door and gave the order,

“Bring out the Marchioness. How dare she insult the princess in the Imperial Palace.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”
