Chapter 80 – 08. Peace?
No doubt.
This is a letter she sent to Princess Catherine.
It was a document containing a lot of military secrets and the route of the Aran army.
‘Shit! What happened?’
She was quite perplexed.
It must have been magically processed and burned as soon as it was read, but what is this rice cake in front of my eyes?
‘Let’s calm down. I can’t help myself with this anyway.’
Soon she erased her bewilderment and returned to her usual calm self.
“What is this? The handwriting is mine.”
“What is it? You don’t know.”
“Hmph. How do I know this? Do you want to say that I leaked military secrets or something?”
“That’s right. Don’t you know?”
Aran asked with a sneer as if he knew everything.
Juana’s facial muscles moved slightly.
“Sure. Someone must have impersonated me. I am the princess of this country, and the future emperor. Why would I do such a thing? If you have a brain, how about thinking a little?”
“Whoops. I see.”
Alan laughed.
She even found something cute.
“Even though Terrina blows everything.”
“…”
By Terina, she must be referring to Princess Ekaterina.
For some reason, I sensed intimacy in his tone.
‘Huh. This year or that year doesn’t help.’
“Come to think of it, a guest came yesterday, do you know anything?”
“…What does that mean? Do you think that I commissioned your assassination?”
Normally, I would have been more calm.
Seeing what I had done, I responded sharply without realizing it.
‘I don’t think he took the wrong road and went to this man or something like that…’
Such ominous thoughts passed by.
“No. It’s about Terrina.”
“Were you… Together yesterday?”
“Yes. I have some business.”
For a moment, she looked dirty.
What would happen if a man and a woman had business at dawn?
‘This is why men!’
The ill feeling toward Aran increased.
To think that even after becoming a prince, he would do such filthy things.
“You don’t deserve it either.”
Suddenly, she made an angry expression.
“No matter how adopted you are, to do such a dirty thing while being in the position of a country’s prince. Do not be ashamed.”
“Nasty? What are you talking about?”
“Don’t pretend! A grown-up man and woman are together at that midnight hour, what are you going to do?”
Aran tilted her head as if he really didn’t know.
“No matter how half-hearted you are. Your every move is related to the dignity of the imperial family! Behave properly!”
Alan smiled softly.
“Didn’t I tell you that we met at such a late hour?”
“…Yes?”
“How did you know that there were guests at midnight? Do you know them well? Or…”
“…”
“Did your sister send it?”
Juana cursed all over the inside.
She was unusually excited.
Aran fluttered the letter.
“That’s right. Having done this, the person responsible must disappear in order to be completely buried.”
“…Don’t make unnecessary assumptions. The imperial family has a lot of work, so I just roughly predicted it would be at night.”
“Is that so?”
A smile that seemed to know everything.
Juana found it annoying.
“Let’s stop joking around like this since we all know each other.
She gritted her teeth and glared.
“So? What do you think you can do with me? Don’t get me wrong. You and I have different identities. You look a bit arrogant to the point of floating now, but then you get hurt.”
Has his true nature been revealed?
She was no longer respectful.
“Do you think the title is in the same position as the imperial family?
“Hey. You have a great nature. It’s scary.”
Aran is only sarcastic, but she doesn’t look pissed off at all.
Juana bit her lip hard and ordered her to celebrate.
“Huh… It was as useless as your existence. Please leave now. Don’t come back again. Okay?”
“Then let me say one word before I leave.”
He stood up with a leisurely gesture.
“If you go crazy like that, you’ll be eaten. Sister.”
“What?!”
“Be careful. You have a cute face and a good body, right? What will you do if you get eaten?”
“You…!”
At her apparent sexual harassment of her, Juana went on a rampage all the way to her, but Aran didn’t look back.
Today’s visit is a warning.
In my heart, I wanted to change it right away, but it took Cornelia to do that.
No matter how much she is the youngest daughter, she is the real daughter, so how can her parents turn a blind eye to her daughter’s pain her?
‘There is no next. Juana. Don’t run amok Well… That’s unlikely.’
Probably run amok
More than now.
‘Even though my mother said she would persuade me… I can’t just listen to her with that temper.’
* * *
“Kyaaak!!”
“Ugh…Uhh…”
“Go, fix it, Your Highness!”
After Aran left, Juana made a mess in her room like someone out of her mind.
She also crumpled up the letter Aran had brought and threw it away.
Her ladies-in-waiting her tried to stop her, but it irritated her nerves.
“Go away!!”
The shoved maid fell behind her.
“Your Highness! You can’t do this!”
“Did you all hear it too? You heard it!!!”
Unlike her usual appearance of her, she was so mad that the ladies-in-waiting could not lift her face of her.
At least her maids-in-waiting, who had served her for a long time, opened her mouth.
“Your Highness, please act calmly!”
“You heard it. Huh? You heard it? You heard it too. What did he tell me!”
“I’m sorry, but the celestial maidens were out and didn’t hear it…”
“This…!”
“Stop it. Huana.”
Then, a determined voice awakened her spirit in her.
“…Mother.”
“What kind of ugliness is this?”
It was Cornelia.
She was a little embarrassed by the appearance of Juana, which she hadn’t seen before.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but think about where you are.”
“…Sorry.”
Juana, breaking something, chewed her lips.
‘It’s a waste….Because of the wind!’
There is a saying that all rumors in the imperial palace come from the mouths of the ladies-in-waiting.
In other words, if you treat the lady-in-waiting wrong, bad rumors will spread.
It wasn’t until this time that her Aran her was ascending to heaven, and she was quite displeased with her if she even cut down on her own dignity her.
“I came here because I have something to tell you… What the hell is going on?”
“…”
She thought about what to say and decided to hide it.
When Ah-ran asks why she said that, she becomes embarrassed.
“It’s nothing. I haven’t slept a little lately, so I’m on edge…”
Cornelia looked around her room with quiet eyes.
Cotton from the doll is sticking out, and various documents are scattered randomly.
Some of them were crumpled round.
There must have been something that made me very angry.
Otherwise, there is no way this could happen.
“You guys are out.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
She left the room with the expression that the ladies-in-waiting had lived.
“So, did you make the room like this?”
She picked up a crumpled piece of paper.
“Didn’t they say that you should behave well even in front of people below you? This is not something a princess would do.”
“Sorry, I’ll make it right.”
“…Why are you acting so stiff? Raise your head. Don’t you feel ashamed of your leisure time?”
Juana raised her head, and her eyes fell on the paper Cornelia was holding.
“Ah…That’s…!”
Words that I did not know.
Something Cornelia should never have seen was in her Cornelia’s hands in her.
“Huh? You mean this? Is it something important?”
“Oh no…”
“Tsk tsk tsk. To crumple such an important document like this.”
She straightened the crumpled paper.
“Ah…”
My heart raced wildly.
What will she do when she finds out that her trusted daughter her leaked military secrets?
Maybe she would kill for the crime.
He is a very soft-spoken person to his family, but he is called a tyrant on the outside.
Juana’s mouth started to dry up.
“This…!”
Cornelia’s expression changed completely when she saw the contents.
A face that said she saw what she couldn’t see.
Juana’s whole body her trembled dizzy.
‘Uh, what should I do?’
Kwak.
Cornelia crumpled her paper again with her hard face.
“You…What the hell did you do?”
“Oh, mother, that’s…”
Before the storm
A calm atmosphere descended around her, and cold sweat formed all over her body.
“For a country’s princess to do something like this…”
It is an expression of lamentation beyond anger.
Juana decided not to make her hasty excuses.
If Aran stabbed Cornelia himself, he could still excuse himself by saying it was an impersonation, but he didn’t come out of her room right now.
There is no excuse for a letter written in her handwriting her from her room her.
Cornelia approached with a dark expression and placed a crumpled piece of paper in Juana’s hand her.
“Never…Never show it to others.”
“…Mother?”
“You are the one who will become the emperor of this country. There shouldn’t be controversy over things like that.”
“…….”
No way…
Are you sure you want to just skip it?
“Let’s talk about today’s talk later. Don’t call me separately.”
Cornelia left her room without saying that.
“Ah…..”
The remaining Juana slumped and sat down.
“Yes…That’s how it should be…Mother was just a whim after all. That man is nothing like a prince!”
She giggled and unfolded the crumpled paper.
“Compared to him, I… To the extent that he passed on me even though I leaked military secrets… Huh?”
Something strange was written there.
“…This, this…!”
Fortunately, it wasn’t the letter Aran brought, but…
“Hee!”
In it was written a rich slang that she had written for her amusement when she was ignorant of herself.
“Hey, why is this here…!”
She tore the paper to pieces in her panic.
