Chapter: 576
Vellian glanced at the distant maids for a moment, then lowered his voice and said sarcastically, “I asked if you are satisfied with the fact that the Marchioness and even her family will also be destroyed soon.”
Astelle stared intently at him.
The emperor’s aide, Vellian, doesn’t seem to like the fall of the Croychen family.
Well, now we have to elect a new minister of state.
But this time Astelle had no choice but to do it.
“Should I just keep quiet when that mother and her daughter tried to kill and spy on me?”
“That’s why you let her take the fake secret letter?”
“I didn’t give it to her.”
It wasn’t a lie.
Astelle didn’t know that such a secret letter existed until Florin said it.
But Vellian did not believe Astelle.
He said, “Even the emperor, who is obsessed with the empress, will not believe that.”
Astelle raised an eyebrow at his rude attitude.
“You mean I set a trap and dragged Lady Florin in?”
“Isn’t that so?”
“It is not. Why would I do such a thing to Lady Florin?”
“Did you forget you also set a trap for the Marchioness at the tea party?”
“It was because the Marchioness tried to kidnap Theor.”
If she didn’t hurt Theor, she would let her go no matter how rude she was.
Likewise for Marianne, if she just checked her box of medicines without doing anything else, she would just let her go.
“That’s what happened in the past, but……”
Even though she clearly said no, Vellian still didn’t believe her.
Astelle didn’t want to keep dealing with Vellian’s complaints.
She had no intention of ever putting up with this man’s rudeness.
Astelle cut off his words with a firm voice, “I don’t understand why you, the emperor’s aide, don’t believe me, the empress.”
