Chapter: 724
The room on the opposite side is the study of her father, the Marquis Croychen.
Her father’s voice can be heard through the small hole.
“Will His Majesty suspect the Empress for something like this?”
Marianne looked again at the hole in the wall.
Florin’s also standing next to her, peeking.
Inside the dimly lit study are her father and two nobles.
“Even if His Majesty does not suspect the Empress, he will suspect the Duke of Reston.”
The person who said that was the Minister of Home Affairs.
The two sisters listened intently to them.
“Isn’t that too sloppy? His Majesty may be suspicious of us.” The Marquis said in disbelief.
“Don’t worry too much about it, we won’t be caught. It would be great if the trust between them was broken even a little bit.”
Florin frowned.
She didn’t know what they were talking about.
‘You shouldn’t be in a dangerous situation by doing something useless for nothing.’
Now is the time for all of her family to take care of themselves.
Florin thought so, but her father had a different opinion.
Although he lost his position and was expelled from the capital, Marquis Croychen still had influence among the ministers.
That is why her father, the Marquis, took up residence in this old citadel.
It’s a citadel that was about to collapse, but it’s the closest place to the capital among the remaining estates of the marquis.
“How’s the Count’s work?”
“It’s going well, too.”
“Hmm…… I’ve said it a few times before, but Count Ecklen was very lukewarm about the Empress.”
When Marquis Croychen spoke with no confidence, the Minister of Home Affairs immediately refuted.
“The Count has no regrets for the Empress and Prince, but he hates the Duke of Reston.”
The Minister of Home Affairs continued confidently.
