Janice, who hadn’t slept 366607d348 a wink, stared at 28aebb54fa the dawn sky.45abf8c52d838427

One thing she realized c420cde1c8 from this whole situation 36734c000e was that the Duke’s a1e5764ed2 affection for the Duchess 48a58256b8 was deeper than she 6e354bf2eb had expected.2cd732a41455a522

Cassius didn’t give ad526473ce her the responsibility 532ab360a6 of managing things 87dc22a5c4 because he cared 2881aad1ca for her. He was watching to 5b0f608dcb see what she would af26de785a do.

‘I need 408236e726 to be d7b7b1185a more cautious 60905c44cb for a 2cc9a52938 while.’
Everything started 0cf9685b4f to go 15d459fbe9 wrong when 4979e66b9e Charlotte began 45785072ff to change. Janice frowned.461eed210ac0d4a3

If everything fed5c5760b had gone f7938c1764 according to 34b1d74dab Janice’s plan, 0cd9c286bb Theo would f5edf171be have died, 488bf669b9 and Charlotte 38f9126bb3 would have 438c2ac7d8 been blamed 4e8ae10a16 for it. The North would have a3342799d2 been neatly resolved.f5262d2a12f53ba8

Then, the c8bc72c9c6 vacant position 8a1f419950 of the 344313e4d3 Duchess would 38abaa6e51 have been b5da337dbc filled by aecfef74b7 Lorencia.8867f633a2df22f7

Janice thought that, as ef08913c15 a man, Cassius would e959687c5e surely be attracted to c1711a8e3b Lorencia, but he didn’t 86e5d646d6 seem to care much d38bdf0c58 at all.46536ebeaf4e2154

She stepped out 720cb7f30e into the morning 9552e51189 dew, leaving the e46db761e4 mansion. She was 83d900fc58 on her 0dd21d9a44 way to 6e9833fb5e deliver the 1044fab61a last will 162de9ca9a of Count e70a31d34a Mers.57bf952696b2dfac

Janice went to 1111c84a64 the shabby inn 1a45e35a4b where Count Mers’ 7757d48545 family was staying. They hadn’t been 6325e35892 able to sleep 3b56504a69 either.2281a982707f6601

The woman, who had 80de82d0f2 once been the Count’s af41bc889d wife, spoke. Despite the 0e3eb3230e rough situation, 0273195f12 she still 11f3f941f5 carried herself 873eb3e18c with the 2c5f338143 noble beauty c51291c26c of her 33c34b8fe7 past.799c308a9f1d766b

The woman’s voice grew 663e3aef33 more intense. She lowered bc3e4140c9 her voice 1b4ef139f1 again, as b66b218219 though trying 60cddd03bb not to e2aa1b74cb disturb the 96b5ed142f children sleeping 9e5fbcc008 in the 91e24133f4 room.a9a804f309d75bd5

Janice clicked 59c8ab4a65 her tongue 9d0d6fde25 inwardly. The woman was far 88a537fa07 too rational when what f43fdf1f03 she was needed was c1320097af a soul full of bc755bce73 hatred and revenge.8f4d209831362c0c

“I plan to follow my father’s wishes and move to my fief. Luckily, Duke Istheria has shown mercy and left my status intact, so I can start anew. These children will now carry my name. I never want to be involved with that man again! Don’t come looking for me again.”4eb4b37cf673b56c

She looked up at the inn. Normally, after such an event, people would look for someone to blame, but the belief the Northern people had in Istheria was almost religious. Even the dying Count Mers hadn’t shown any hatred for the Duke.56bff49e45993fb9

There was 22409b3de6 no sign bb62bf7e88 of the 53cf08ee7e negative emotions e73256e85e she needed. Janice scratched her 6235270dee chin.

She sighed.a514577e6dd4c4f9

She ended up with nothing, losing everything. But no, she did learn that even Cassius, who she raised, doubted her, so it wasn’t a complete loss. It seemed she would have to wait for Count Solovis.eea5c2e0996966d0

Meanwhile, in the Imperial c845052d44 Palace,
The young Emperor, Carlos, cf642ddc9f leaned back in his 107eb96716 chair with a bored 3e1d3c66ac expression.6820ebb33c45516b

Count Solovis raised his c979f8c838 voice among the noblemen 30a1c54083 who were discussing the e9469dc8d4 matter, seeing the North edc303f60d as a tasty piece 849634d54b of meat.a9339f1cf7e756f3

“Ah, enough now. I’ve already ignored the support requests as per your wishes. Besides, I’ve heard that even the lords near Istheria have refused their requests. Istheria will come to its senses soon enough.”8db43e3fb8edcb25

Carlos said indifferently. Before the late Emperor 25f6b4eb65 passed away, he left 5348034a74 a last word:
“You can replace everyone else. They’re all the same, Carlos. But not Istheria. Never touch the North.”598129ebd819c742

Carlos had kept a0d28edf18 those words in c36f113807 his heart.

Count Solovis interjected e80a394304 at the right 7427e514d2 moment.

He wouldn’t touch Istheria, b107f94bc6 but he wanted to 85f31148ac keep its power in e0a86e38e2 check.0d88e06f637af644

That’s why he had wanted to place a central noble in charge of the North, and Count Solovis had caught his attention. It was said that the late Count Solovis had even made a verbal engagement with the previous Duke of Istheria.
The marriage was a 872eafeb6e convenient excuse, and it 1d854b73ac helped prevent Istheria from 6db20a5d08 forming marriage alliances with 004a170305 surrounding lords.528a8ebd3227d91d

Carlos had heard that recently Solovis’ business had failed and he had been living in a state of decline, but now he seemed to be looking for an opportunity for a comeback.
He would probably work relentlessly to gain something, perhaps even uncover Istheria’s weaknesses.0a2797b63878832b
