Chapter 211 Lucius the First told Poliana many times before that she should get married if she found a good man. Poliana never imagined that the emperor would refuse to allow her to get married. When she looked confused, Lady Stra explained, “Marquess Winter, you are a very close acquaintance of the emperor, right? It sounds like you may be marrying too below your status… which could be problematic…” “Oh, that shouldn’t be an issue, Lady Stra. His highness is very lenient when it comes to…-

Chapter 210 ‘Of all people, I should’ve trusted her…’ Even Lucius the First acknowledged that Lady Tory was an unusually intelligent woman. If Lady Tory was trying to fool Poliana and sneak sensitive information out of her, she wouldn’t have asked this openly. And even if Lady Tory was trying to gather information, she would’ve made sure to only ask the questions Poliana could answer anyway. Poliana felt foolish for being suspicious of Lady Tory. After a short question and answer period,…

Chapter 209 Poliana said to Lady Tory and Lady Stra, “It is my duty to protect and serve you, yet I left you in Nanaba and did not even come to you when you returned to Yapa; what I did was unacceptable and I could ask nothing more than your forgiveness.” Poliana was absent for two months in these ladies’ lives and she felt horrible about it. Lady Stra and Lady Tory, however, told her that there was nothing to apologize about. They tried to stop her, but Poliana kneeled on the floor and continued,…

Chapter 208 Just as Poliana promised, she remained at home as a form of self-punishment. She didn’t, however, return her uniform with the gold stripe. Instead, she didn’t go to work; she remained home for a month. Poliana was very strict about her punishment. First of all, she didn’t leave her home at all during this time. Even at her own home, she only stayed in her bedroom and the library. She refused to see any guests and she also did not receive or send any letters. Any gifts she received, if…

The princess, who couldn't even breathe well when she was born, now looked better. When Lucius the First visited his daughter, the maids and the wet nurse sighed in relief. The emperor, now seeing that his daughter was doing better, decided to finally name her. When she opened her eyes, she looked a little cross-eyed. There, the emperor announced, “I will call her Luminae.” Everyone sighed in relief. They have been worried that the emperor has been refusing to visit the princess, but now, it seemed…

Chapter 206 Duchess Nani asked in confusion, “Pardon?” Lady Tory explained coldly, “We, Lady Stra and I, will raise the princess. We cannot have you take care of her, so please leave.” “But Lady Tory, I am the princess’s grandmother and the mother of late Lady Rebecca! How dare you tell me to leave?” “Even if you didn’t care for your daughter, you could’ve said something nice about her just now, but you didn’t, Duchess Nani, and that is why we cannot have you raise the princess. I…

Story 17. Snake Hunting Chapter 205 Lucius the First, who was upset and quiet, mostly remained in his office while Marquess Winter stayed home as a form of self-punishment. Sir Ainno, the head of the First Division, roamed around looking annoyed. This wasn’t a surprise since he always had a sour look on his face, but it was a little different now. He looked especially unhappy and he frequently lashed out at his guards. It made sense for Lucius the First and Poliana to be sad since they were both close…

Chapter 204 After Poliana left for Yapa, Lady Tory was still in Nanaba getting ready to leave when she was visited by a guest. She already received a message concerning the death of Lady Rebecca, so Lady Tory didn’t feel like greeting a guest, however, it was a visitor she could not refuse, so she put on her usual smile. She was raised this way and she was very good at playing her role. “Great grandfather.” It was Sir Bentier’s grandfather and the most powerful elder of Acreia, Marquis…

Chapter 203 Poliana opened her mouth to answer, but Sir Ainno did not wait for her. There were so many things he needed to fix, and he needed to keep this as short as possible. Sir Ainno said to her, “Did his highness get mad at you? Did he yell at you? If so, don’t get upset. He’s just drunk, that’s all. Or did his highness take you to his bed? If he did, it’s because he was drunk, so don’t think too much about it. If you are upset, then just marry him.” Poliana lowered her face. It was…

Chapter 202 This was indeed a chance, but Lucius the First knew better; it would’ve been wrong for him to use his wife’s death to trick the woman he loved. His wife’s funeral was only two days ago, so how could he even consider such a thing? The emperor hated himself. Lucius the First pushed Poliana away. He poured whatever was left over in the bottle into his mouth. The clear liquor rolled down his cheeks instead of his tears. He said to Poliana harshly, “Get out, I don’t want to see you…
