Chapter 241 Poliana went to the royal doctors as ordered by the emperor. She was the only one that crazy day who got injured. It wasn’t really that she was unlucky; it all happened partly due to her sense of duty. When she entered the room, the doctors gathered around in shock. The doctors were already feeling confused and fearful because they witnessed soldiers and knights running around the castle. The entrances and exits of the castle were all closed, and several frightening rumors were spreading…-

Story 18. A short break from the hunt Chapter 240 Some of the guards from the First, Second, and Third Divisions were selected to be sent to Acreia. Their mission was to collect evidence against the Acreian noblemen. Sir Mahogal and Sir Jainno accompanied them to lead the team. Both men were from a powerful Acreian noble family, which meant that they must be familiar with a nobleman’s library. Some thought that perhaps the emperor should send even more soldiers in case of a rebellion within Acreia,…

Chapter 239 Stra’s pretty face was covered in hot tears; she held Tory’s hands desperately and continued to sob. Stra was saying something but she was crying so hard that no one understood what she was saying. Calmly, Tory pushed her away and ordered Stra’s maids, “Take Lady Stra away right now!” “No, Tory!” Stra protested, but three of her maids came to take her away. Lady Stra was too weak to even fight them and she was taken to Duchess Luzo. After the duchess finished talking to her…

Chapter 238 Marquis Seeze continued to yell at Lady Tory, “You stupid, stupid b*tch! You don’t know anything!” “Yes, you’re right; I am stupid! I can’t help my emotions affecting my decisions! That is why I don’t care about your goals and your ambitions! I don’t want to know the ‘big picture’ you planned for this kingdom! All I want is not having to poison my friend!” Marquis Seeze’s reasoning was not logical. This whole situation was ironic. If women were thought to be unable to…

Chapter 237 Those in the Second Division were mostly from Acreia themselves. The noblemen they were ordered to arrest were somehow related to many of the guards in the Second Division. They were either their close or distant relatives. The guards had no choice but to arrest the noblemen since it was an order from their direct superior, but they felt awkward using ropes to bind the prisoners. It was especially hard because most of the men to be arrested were elderly. When the guards of the Second Division…

Chapter 236 Marquis Seeze said to the emperor, “Your highness! This woman has lost her mind. Please do not pay any attention to her. My sorrow for my granddaughter’s illness cannot be expressed with words. I am an old man so I should’ve been the one who suffers such a sickness, yet this young girl… She must be suffering from dementia! It should’ve been me! Tory… Tory… You were such a smart girl, so what happened?! How could this happen!” Marquis Seeze cried sadly, making people feel…

Chapter 235 Lady Tory could have just given Lady Stra the ice wine to drink. Tory suspected the poison inside the bottle was not lethal because if Stra died soon after drinking the wine, it would’ve been too obvious that Marquis Seeze was the culprit. It was most likely something subtle that was bad for women or something that would trigger illness when combined with other food. Tory knew she would never be blamed, but she still didn’t want to harm Stra. Stra was too kind and Rebecca, although could…

Chapter 234 Someone laughed but it was not possible to determine who it was. More laughter followed from different places. The laughs… They weren’t the sounds you were supposed to hear on a battlefield. This was not right. Suddenly, people began to shout out, “Lady Tory must be intoxicated from the scent of the ice wine.” “Or perhaps she already had a taste? Maybe Lady Tory drank a little too much tonight?” “Her maids should be reprimanded. They obviously weren’t taking care of their…

Chapter 233 One day, a long time ago, Lucius the First said to Poliana that he would not dance with her. He remembered the day when Poliana pushed him against a wall. Just thinking about that time made his heart go wild. It was such an exhilarating day for him. The emperor would never be able to forget that day. The emperor did not ask Poliana to dance. He danced with a few different ladies other than his wives, but he never danced with Poliana. Poliana, on the other hand, would’ve been happy with just…

Chapter 232 Poliana stared at the hand he offered before looking up at Sir Ainno. She asked in confusion, “What are you doing? What’s with the hand?” “Wanna dance?” “You? With me? Dance? You want us to dance together? Are you serious? But what about Lady Cekel… Oh.” Because Lady Cekel was present at the party as Lady Tory’s maid, she was not allowed to leave her lady’s side. Of course, if she asked Lady Tory in advance for a day off, Cekel would’ve been able to attend the party as…
