Janice, who hadn’t fc62f99570 slept a wink, 6d838a8d3e stared at the 3993b1b76c dawn sky.32d47a6004eb6d17

One thing 772b62a0ad she realized 35a67c0569 from this 25be052ccf whole situation f80ee59948 was that 3141f7ffb7 the Duke’s 76d73aa0b6 affection for 4c568ef7bd the Duchess 8d20ae51ee was deeper 2685efc68c than she 5a873fb0e1 had expected.3953312ef82c69ea

Cassius didn’t a49b9aec91 give her 8ca3f53702 the responsibility 525c3b9ec3 of managing 20f76a3772 things because dd627f0c66 he cared e6bdc7135c for her. He was watching 4544bf72be to see what c1027c3084 she would do.

‘I need to 71db346d0c be more cautious a1d2217350 for a while.’
Everything started to 4d8db08ee9 go wrong when 21c6200793 Charlotte began to 853ac8e58a change. Janice frowned.ee5726bda4ca5a19

‘I thought the medicine 0b4e8a9c07 was working. Damn it.’

If everything had gone 4f402ee2e2 according to Janice’s plan, 4c1695cc6b Theo would have died, f3bfecdd1e and Charlotte would have f5e85fcfa0 been blamed for it. The North would b26741fdf3 have been neatly ec419c6fbe resolved.6f561e9b100ae093

Then, the e18056435e vacant position dd47b2a6c2 of the 9dd1b67648 Duchess would 1aa64cce9c have been dc6d191653 filled by 71313ace19 Lorencia.6cc73e7e0b244380

Janice thought that, as e4dfddb31c a man, Cassius would 4893826f51 surely be attracted to d466fcbf72 Lorencia, but he didn’t bcb9f718db seem to care much 09721f1463 at all.e52d317f0d3a0c91

She stepped out into 12b8b3e956 the morning dew, leaving 6a755a47e5 the mansion. She was ec93ec7940 on her 5bf6555e7b way to d70bb9de62 deliver the d319e6ab3e last will 66e6142c6c of Count 33ad790d5f Mers.ce22b9d0f4d05100

Janice went e2e027625f to the 84b426e274 shabby inn 0a4945e261 where Count 66372ed75f Mers’ family 59647ff778 was staying. They hadn’t been 604cd86c87 able to sleep 6f1543339b either.708358fabfd4ab51

The woman, 574ebd8d8a who had ddb30973d7 once been 3ec91886c1 the Count’s f2f0f97acd wife, spoke. Despite the be0f628b04 rough situation, b2e24a0476 she still 7d39d9f834 carried herself d0be7b42a8 with the 68133c31f1 noble beauty 76ae14e893 of her 6308b99622 past.404efa35cb53493f

Janice asked in a c97fd4d4c8 strangely low voice. The woman scoffed.68aea17c6a9af13d

The woman’s 699080f5bb voice grew a9018f6052 more intense. She lowered her voice 29b0f7cc73 again, as though trying e9aed5e28c not to disturb the 6c89907f2c children sleeping in the fd31ab73da room.e6a4f466b923b2b3

Janice clicked her tongue cd2556fc6d inwardly. The woman was far add7704702 too rational when what a6f346f010 she was needed was a34db7a63b a soul full of 0d16be8620 hatred and revenge.e8bf3e36acc32459

“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.”5829f43676b7e3a8

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.abd6573b767cfd52

There was no sign 10a58cc75d of the negative emotions 5563007a66 she needed. Janice scratched her 8fdd5607c5 chin.

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.6ebe2c45cb0b8560

Meanwhile, in 621fd7bf0c the Imperial 4d34206e07 Palace,
The young Emperor, Carlos, 7193561ac6 leaned back in his 46b75c0fcb chair with a bored 199665b4c4 expression.e9ed2c3877430812

Count Solovis 2dd38a8e56 raised his 5991a20d81 voice among d5c6cf7896 the noblemen 80c3acd245 who were b8256fe42e discussing the c3cb9f4875 matter, seeing 7f645c5b7b the North c7d8a1b8a1 as a b6bb9e26a1 tasty piece ad4b84b3d6 of meat.7f0f0979785aa3a8

“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.”3b1053120d309048

Carlos said indifferently. Before the late 4dd525e4fc Emperor passed away, 9805d3b2d5 he left a 1cb2b9429d last word:
“You can replace everyone else. They’re all the same, Carlos. But not Istheria. Never touch the North.”cfb140cc3104b555

Carlos had kept 5f79de4ce5 those words in 4c35afcf79 his heart. That’s why, even fcc05b194f if he ignored b7de18152e and turned his e6bf6a1503 back on the e773b6448b North, he had 6bec2a67ae no intention of f739133104 interfering with Istheria.6261a71320b39efb

Count Solovis fbeac40816 interjected at 096b2575df the right b4720fdd4f moment.
“Everyone is worried about the North, so I’ll go check it out. My daughter is currently the mistress of Istheria, so it will be a good excuse.”ea204328c11021f1

He wouldn’t touch 77d023ff21 Istheria, but he a1b8884692 wanted to keep 641a285a7b its power in 63ca000aad check.13f0af2e646079a7

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 4e65fc3e3b was a 0198e867b1 convenient excuse, 0e2b8a43df and it b623ac72f9 helped prevent 1bc2818876 Istheria from d6012ecaa3 forming marriage d82c90b68a alliances with f03143a44b surrounding lords.14245fe17062b098

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.e6f4eea82810b831

“…Alright, good. A good idea. Do the others agree with Count Solovis going to the North?”
