That this is a lenient punishment. She was told that the dressing room owner and the maid who helped her mother were executed.

But Florin couldn’t accept it.

Due to this incident, the Croychen family lost everything they had built up.

If Florin’s own life continues like this, she and her family will be pushed back.

Florin was furious to think this all happened because of her stupid mother.

However, it was Astelle’s betrayal that made her the angriest.

‘You’re not keeping your promise.’

Do you think that you can survive even if your family collapses because you have a prince? Just because the emperor loves you, you think you will be all right?

‘Let’s see how it goes.’

Florin had nothing more to lose anyway.

Even if the duke’s secret letter is revealed, she will not be at a disadvantage.

Florin called the servant to give direct orders.

This servant was the one who had kidnapped the servant of the duke.

Leaving him with the secret letter, Florin said, “Send this secret letter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Imperial Palace. You have to do it quietly without anyone knowing.”

As soon as Astelle received the report, she headed to the place where the emperor conducted government affairs.

The knights and nobles in the hallway bowed in surprise when they found her.

It has been several days since she became the empress, but it was her first visit to the emperor’s palace.

It was also the first time since the wedding that she appeared in front of the nobles.

Astelle stood in front of the emperor’s office as she received the gaze of the officials.

“I want to see His Majesty the Emperor.”

A guard knight announced her arrival to the emperor.

The door opened right away.

The emperor and several ministers had gathered in the office.

Everyone had a surprised face at Astelle’s sudden visit.
