Chapter: 588

“Yes, I did.”

Before coming to the palace, Florin told her everything about the secret letter.

Naen desperately recalled what her older sister had told.

Whatever the empress will ask, Naen is confident that she can answer all of them.

“I see.”

Astelle asked in a calm tone, “Then do you remember how the letter was folded?”

“Yes……?”

“It was folded in a pretty unique way, don’t you remember?”

In the empire, specifically among the socialite ladies, there were many different ways of folding letters.

Just as each small gesture of folding and unfolding a fan gives meaning to each other, each method of folding a letter had a different meaning.

Naen was perplexed.

Florin told her everything that was written in the secret letter including how to read the code, but she didn’t tell her how the paper was folded.

“That……”

Naen couldn’t answer Astelle’s question.

Kaizen, who was watching the two, rebuked coldly, “Why can’t you answer the question if you read the letter?”

“Y-your Majesty, t-that……”

Naen’s plump white cheeks turned white pitifully.

But she kept insisting that she was the one who sent the secret letter.

“I did send it. I really sent it……”

Naen cried and begged earnestly.

She looks like she’s only about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Astelle was not close to the Croychen family, but she had never heard anything strange about this third daughter.

Astelle thought, ‘Looks like she’s not loved very much in the family.’

Astelle felt sorry for Naen.

She wanted to punish Florin for perjury.
