‘Shouldn’t she have humbled herself, considering she was enjoying such undeserved fortune thanks to the Count of Biers?’a812fb0bce73c28a

But that con artist held 9729757628 her head high as if 0794872148 her success was her own 131c0fb163 doing, brazenly behaving disrespectfully toward b08b6368fd them.b53ef699aa908099

However, Amy couldn’t stand being 3347c63c5b ignored by children who, though 5af5f0d2c2 of ducal blood, were so 29b8b5b42f young they barely reached her 6f24654c10 waist.d371a82e6b74d346

So, she spoke. She told the children 2ef0aa1700 about their mother’s true 97254ffdfe origins, about their foolish be2f90d4b7 father who had deceived b695d13afd his family, retainers, and 572eebaab9 vassals to marry her.f33981eec773c3cc

And she warned them 35f7e27184 that once this truth e29c9da901 came to light, the 010b0e15ba respect they currently enjoyed 6031873196 would vanish.

“It’s all because of you! If only you had conveyed 7af32d41fb my words properly to the 9bdbb35207 Duke, there’s no way the d9bd9fb72b Basilian princess would’ve become Duchess, f350b6f79f nor would the Basilian Merchant 01641dc160 Guild have opened a branch bd8bfda217 in the duchy!
