Chapter: 616

‘She is…… very different from what I thought.’

She thought the empress was a very scary person.

Naen thought Astelle was a villain who framed Marianne and put her in prison, and framed her mother and exiled her to the North.

She thought she was a scary and evil woman.

Her bad image was further cemented as her mother cursed Astelle every day.

But when she met her in person, it was very different from what she expected.

The empress who smiled calmly at her was very kind and dignified.

There was not the slightest hint of the evil woman that Naen had imagined in her neat appearance.

Naen looked back at the note in her hand.

The touch of dry paper brought back memories of yesterday.

The maid of the empress’ palace told Naen that she could bring her clothes and belongings from the Marquis’ mansion if she needed them.

Upon hearing this, she contacted her house to send a change of clothes.

But there was a small note inside the dress that was sent from her house.

It was a letter from her second sister, Florin.

Florin said she knew that Naen had been staying at the empress’ palace, and she asked her to let her know what was going on there.

“Tell me what you saw and heard while you were there.”

Florin also wrote the name of one of the maids working in the palace.

Naen was told to write down a note and pass it on to the maid.

But Naen hastily burned Florin’s note in the fireplace.

Vellian stood at the corner of the hallway, and as soon as he heard the door open, he hurried out to the other side.

“Oh, Mr. Aide?”

“Mr. Butler.”

The butler, who was coming out of the hallway, found him and stopped.

Vellian smiled sweetly and spoke to him.
