Chapter: 586
The marquis comforted Naen so hard, despite the fact that he himself had never visited his eldest daughter.
Naen’s second sister, Florin, who caused this incident, also said while holding her hand, “Don’t worry. I’ll never let you suffer.”
Naen wanted to shake off Florin’s hand, but she couldn’t because she was afraid.
Actually, she had no desire to take the blame on behalf of her second sister.
Although her eldest sister, Marianne, didn’t really like her much, they were close because they grew up together and fought since childhood.
But Florin, who grew up alone in the countryside, was a stranger to her even though she was her biological older sister.
However, Naen could not disobey the orders of her father and Florin.
Naen was indeed young, but she could understand the situation to a certain extent.
If she refused their request, living in a mansion would be worse than living in a convent.
“Miss Naen?”
Standing blankly in the hallway, a guard knight called her.
“His Majesty is calling.”
Naen followed the knight with trembling legs.
The place she entered was a reception room in the palace of His Majesty the Emperor.
The emperor sat in the front, and several nobles stood around.
Next to the emperor, a woman with platinum hair was watching Naen intently.
‘Oh, Your Majesty the Empress.’
Although Naen was unable to attend the charity ball back then, she had caught a glimpse of the empress on the national wedding day at the temple.
“Are you going to admit your guilt?”
As she looked at the empress, she heard an angry voice from the front.
It was the voice of His Majesty the Emperor.
“Y-yes, Your Majesty. I……”
Even though it was a very important moment, her gaze continued to be drawn to the empress’ light green, glass-like eyes.
With a trembling voice, Naen said the words that had been prepared in the mansion, “I was the one who framed the Duke.”
“What did you do?”
