A Red Lady (4)
“Don’t you know that everyone is the prince’s subordinate? Rather, only anyone who knows this fact will lose their life.”
Saying so, the woman confided to the Marquis of Wenson how to release the second queen. The prison where she is locked up is a normal one, but the chain that ties the queen was never an ordinary one.
They said it was a cursed chain that could only be broken when the blood of two living people was dipped into it.
“With the help of the Marquis, we can release my child.”
The Marquis of Wenson was confused by the woman saying so. In addition to the fact that the woman’s words were unbelievable, the chain was also considered absurd.
“D-don’t be ridiculous!”
Feeling an unusual sign from the woman’s gaze over the veil, the marquis hurried out of the drawing room. Marquis Wenson deliberately lost his temper and disappeared with his servant.
The woman left alone in the drawing room smiled over the veil. She’s been waiting too long for this moment to come.
‘Curses! That’s ridiculous.….’
The emperor was just sick and could not get up from his seat.
Isn’t there no reason for the Crown Prince, who has all the support from the Emperor, to harm the Emperor? In addition, the emperor had already locked the two empresses in an underground prison and tower.
Marquis Wenson, who got into the carriage, urged the coachman to get out of Hassler Street quickly. No matter how much he thought about it, he felt like he had encountered an existence that he should not see.

There was a lot that Rowena already knew about as a princess, except for etiquette. Those who were named teachers were relieved that Rowena’s knowledge level was high.
They were worried about the rumor that Count Adelia had neglected his daughter’s education.
It was more cultured than the general level, and the only thing that needed to be reinforced was the imperial etiquette. About half of the other practices had already been learn5.
It was because Rowena stayed at the palace for a long time, and there was no hostess to take charge of the imperial household.
For Rowena, who was worried about taking charge of the Count’s Estate with a small budget previously, it was fun to manage the royal housekeeping.
The budget was abundant, there were many people who helped, and there were many outstanding talents. In addition, those who were in charge of safekeeping before Rowena assisted her, so she wondered what was difficult.
“Most of the time, I am discouraged by the size of the imperial household, and I am glad that Your Highness has no such fear.”
The royal maid and butler shared the same words with great relief.
However, seeing the young lady brought by the prince doing better than expected, they felt better at least.
On the other hand, Rowena did not know this feeling of her subordinates. She only knows that they are kind and very obedient.
Rowena, who finished her work and etiquette class early as the Crown Princess, was spending the afternoon with her close friend Liliana.
After only a few days at the Imperial Palace, Liliana was becoming as beautiful as a blooming flower. Rowena was sure it was because Kian was around.
Even if the royal palace’s food and treatment are appropriate, she can’t get better in a few days. She could tell that the two were in love with each other just by looking at each other.
Now that it was time for Cecil to return from office, Rowena withdrew from Liliana’s bedroom. She was not envious of Liliana.
‘Cause I have your Highness…….’
Her heart filled with pride to think that she was as loved as Liliana, perhaps more than her. There was still a painful feeling when she thought of the moment when Kian fell in love with Liliana.
It wasn’t because she still liked Kian or had lingering feelings.
Even if it is a short moment, it may be because she saw a moment when the person sje loved fell in love with others.
‘If your Highness turns to another woman…… I think it’s going to be really painful.’
She probably can’t even compare to seeing Kian fall in love. Rowena’s expression was blurred because her heart seemed to throb just by imagining it.
“Who made you upset?”
“Oh?!”
The approaching person hugged Rowena. The maids and servants who followed Rowena bowed their heads to the crown prince. She missed the timing to say hello, but he didn’t seem to care.
Cecil frowned violently and asked Rowena.
“Who?”
When their eyes met, Rowena’s expression quickly relaxed, but her blue eyes were blazing. Rowena knew that if she said someone’s name, that person would be decapitated.
Even if that person had a high status, he would be in great trouble. The name of Marquis Wenson flashed in Rowena’s mind, but she repeatedly remembered that he was Liliana’s father.
“I just imagined something that wouldn’t happen.”
“What’s going on?”
Cecil, who turned around, was heading to their bedroom.
“I think it would be very sad if your Highness had a concubine…….”
“Hmm……”
