Chapter: 556
“Why are you here?”

“I came to visit my daughter–no, Her Majesty the Empress.”

The Duke looked very happy.

Astelle became empress, and he was delighted to have captured the wife of his nemesis, Croychen.

When Kaizen ignored him without answering, the Duke turned his gaze to the Marquis.

“Father, how’s your body?”

The old marquis frowned.

“Why am I your father?”

The Marquis asked a little annoyed, but the Duke replied with a small, relaxed smile.

“You are my wife’s father, and you are like a father to me.”

Kaizen also frowned.

The Duke’s words apply to Kaizen as well.

He also married Astelle, the daughter of the Duke.

If he could, he wanted to hit the Duke right now.

Suddenly, his eyes met the old marquis’. At that moment, Kaizen and the Marquis of Carlenberg found something in common.

Both of them hate the Duke of Reston to death.

“Is my father still in his study?”

Florin looked out the window and asked her nanny.

Her nanny quietly nodded her head.

Ever since her mother was taken to prison, her father stayed in his study and did not come out.

He seems to be discussing a solution in his own way with some nobles.

Florin rubbed her throbbing head.

Her mother was caught trying to poison the empress’ dress.

The emperor’s soldiers were guarding the marquis’ mansion.
