It was her aunt who came into the room after Camilla.
My aunt, who was sitting next to me, looked at them expressionlessly.
“I'm sorry we couldn't serve you well because you came without saying so beforehand “She expressed her dissatisfaction with the two people who came without my consent.
Camilla sighed.
“You are so humble.
They have served us well “The tea served to the Empress and Camilla was indeed very modest.
However, the aunt admitted that she had committed a disrespectful act and apologized.
But the Empress said : “That's decent “She spoke innocently as if she were the victim here.
My aunt's eyebrows rose.
“I'm sorry.
If you wish, would you please come back later so that we can serve Your Majesty after getting ready?
“The polite but clear meaning makes the Empress angry.
“You're exaggerating too much.
I came here for a reason ““What's the reason?
““I heard you're looking for a godmother for the baby “" correct." “She helped me that day, and I always appreciated the little girl.
The child destined to save the empire must have a godmother worthy of her.
So I will be the baby's godmother “I almost opened my mouth.
' What are you talking about?
' My aunt tried to hide her expression.
“Imperial law does not allow the Empress to be someone's godmother ““It's in the laws.
But the law was only made because noble ladies feared that I would exert my influence everywhere.
Yet they continued to be nice to me.
What hypocrisy “Camilla looked at the Empress with a stunned expression.
Camilla said, frowning : “What are you talking about?
“The most dangerous thing about the Empress's entry into the social world was that she might collaborate privately with the nobility.
' The Emperor thinks it's the most dangerous thing.’ If he heard what she just said, he would probably faint.
Above all, I will only be the victim.
Then, will my father stay still?
“Why?
Aren't you afraid that if I enter society, I will do your part?
“It seems that the Empress wanted to anger Camilla, but her goal was revealed.
' She wanted to take on the role that the Emperor secretly supported.’ The Emperor took special care of Camilla after all.
' Perhaps the Emperor was able to grow up rationally thanks to Camilla's education.’ Camilla is rational, although she has a fiery temper, and she raised him without any discrimination.
Camilla said : “Please stop.
How long do you want to take it all?
““When have I ever cared about you?!
“I didn't say that ““That's what you just said “I witnessed two women from the highest ranks of the empire fighting.
I need to end this fight.
" Yes!
Auntie, it's time for Dad to come home “I mentioned my father, whom even the royal family feared.
The Empress and Camilla closed their mouths.
Especially the Empress, who was targeted by my father and wanted to avoid him because she had a history of suffering from Doppeld's wrath.
“I need to come back today.
I feel sick to see the unpleasant scene “Then she left.
However, Camilla stayed.
She asked my aunt to conduct a private interview with me.
“There's something I have to tell her.
I would be grateful if you could arrange a place for me to talk to the child “When Camilla asked us seriously, my aunt looked at me.
“I'm fine with that!
"… decent." When my aunt heard my answer, she accepted without complaint.
Camilla barely opened her mouth, just moistening her mouth with tea.
“I went to the bakery four days ago “She unexpectedly jumped straight to the point.
I tried to look childish.
I opened my eyes wide and nodded excitedly.
“How do you know that?
““My maid saw you ““Wow, this is awesome ““Didn't you go there with a child?
" " Yes!
It's Lionel “Camilla gripped the handle of the teacup tightly.
“Is it true that he lived in the forest of castles?
" " correct.
He's been living there since he was born and moved out just last year ““… The child's mother.
You've met his mother, haven't you?
““I saw his sister, not his mother.
She knows a lot of interesting stories and I'm so happy to have met someone really nice.
She is also very considerate ““Have you seen his mother before?
““Lionel lives with his sister.
I think he doesn't live with his mother.
Lionel told me a lot about his sister, but rarely about his mother … But I can guess he misses her very much …” I said with a deliberately sad face, and Camila bit her lip.
' I gave you all the hints, Camilla.’ Camilla looked at me with clear eyes after she calmed down.
“Where does this child live?
““In the palace of Count Bartho.
Mrs. his sister “Rumble!
The sound came from Camilla, who violently placed the teacup on the saucer.
The maids came quickly, surprised to hear the noise seeping out.
“Are you okay?
““So it is noble …” The maids were startled by the murmur and closed their mouths.
I helped Camila, who was about to fall.
“Ma'am, are you okay?
““I have another headache.
How long will this bother me?
“' This means she is worried.’ Whether she would tell her son or not.
There is no way you wouldn't know about Count Bartho's condition.
She wonders if it's okay for them to meet again.
“I …” I looked at Camilla.
“I read a book a long time ago.
The castle forest is always dark, surrounded by trees, but the moment we see the sunset, it is bright.
Living in the dark isn't always a bad thing.
You will know the value of darkness when the sun sets ““…!” This will be surprising.
Camilla wrote this book in secret, hoping it would be a hope for Grand Duke Lockard when he loses his sight.
' She had those days.’ The days when she hopes that her son will not lose hope.
Now, the Grand Duke has found his sight, regained his will to live, and has a wife and son.
' Even if they had a problem, would anything worse than those days happen?
' This is what the story means.
“So a headache is not necessarily bad.
It makes your body more immune if you suffer from it again!
“I added like a child, but Camila kept looking at me.
“Ma'am … Tell me if you need anything ““Just don't forget me “I smiled.
A few days later, word arrived from the people sent by Ceria to Count Bartho's palace.
A luxurious carriage came to the palace.
The Grand Duke found Letizia. *** Laura thought as she picked up a coat and cloak.
“It would be nice to use a coat because it's cold today, but it's very nice for little miss to wear the cloak.
What should I do?
““I love the coat!
The abaya is long and uncomfortable to use while walking.
Today was my first day at a social party in DC.
I need to look respectable.
Laura answered : “Yes “And I put on my coat.
When I finished preparing and looked in the mirror, I saw a cute and elegant little miss.
' Of course it's Sharon's design.’ From the coat to the dress, ribbons and shoes, they were all so beautiful.
As my aunt said, I need to impress upon them my image as the rich and generous little Miss Doppeld.
My aunt, who had been waiting for me, extended her arm.
“Aunty, you are so wonderful …” She was wearing a blue coat similar to mine, black pants, which were old, and long, thin shoes..
She also used oil and tied her hair.
There was no one who was so wonderful.
“It's your first social party, so I need to take care of my appearance “
