Chapter 291 Lucius the First shivered in fear. ‘What if Pol never comes back? What will I do?’ Poliana promised him to return before she left. At the time, Lucius the First believed her, but now, he couldn’t get rid of the ominous feeling growing inside of him. Something didn’t feel right. He was missing something very important. The auditor he sent to check up on Poliana sent him a report as soon as he returned to Yapa. The report was short and concise. Nothing significant to note. Lucius…-

Chapter 290 An unwanted and unexpected guest arrived at Sitrin, making all the local officials anxious. Even though it wasn’t the usual time for such a visit, an auditor from the capital city was here. The vessels were impressed with the emperor’s thoroughness in managing his lands, not knowing that the official was actually here to spy on Poliana, not the city. The “auditor” from Yapa asked, “Where is the marquess?” He asked to see Poliana and the vessels sweated nervously. If they refused…

Chapter 289 Lucius the First, the father of Poliana’s unborn baby, was disappointed to see the royal guards return without his knightess. Apparently, Poliana asked for a long vacation, and by doing this, she was testing his patience. When Poliana first asked for some time off, Lucius the First was expecting her to take a month off at most. But it seemed that her absence in Yapa could be much longer. Sir Ainno said to the emperor, “Just fire her already.” He sounded annoyed at the fact that Poliana…

Because Poliana was so busy since the first day she arrived at the Sitrin castle, her guards have been having a nice time off. The knight looked at her in disappointment, wanting to stay in Sitrin a while longer to enjoy himself, but Poliana waved him away. The knight bowed and left the room, feeling sad that he had to say goodbye to the wonderful hot springs. Staring at the closed door blankly, Poliana thought to herself again, ‘When I return, I better tell Sir Deke to fire him from the Intelligence…

Chapter 287 Those working for Poliana in the Sitrin castle were anxious ever since they heard the news about her visit, but now that Poliana was here, they finally had the chance to prove their worth to her. The officials sought her out actively, making Poliana’s life very busy. Poliana had enough to worry about, but she did not avoid her responsibility. In a way, she was just like her emperor; Poliana was a workaholic. She visited Sitrin partly to rest, but she was barely given a chance to sit.…

Chapter 286 Their mistress, Marquess Winter, had the worst taste in food ever. At this rate, the Sitrin chef knew that he, an expert in fine dining, would be fired soon if he could not satisfy the landlord’s taste buds. The mysterious stew made of old jerkies, flour, and water continued to boil ominously. Poliana ladled some onto a bowl and let it cool for a while before trying a bite. After tasting it, she became angry. “This doesn’t taste right!” ‘What is wrong with her?’ ‘She made it…

Chapter 285 Poliana owned many lands. How many pieces of land were considered many? There was no specific set number, which meant that some might argue that Poliana did not own many lands. Either way, before returning to Nanaba, Poliana was given two more towns on top of her already-existing lands. During their ten years of conquest, there were many ownerless lands on the continent. The current situation was that Lucius the First did not have enough loyal subjects to give all of these lands. The…

Chapter 284 Poliana, who has been looking hesitant and uncertain, suddenly straightened up. There was a clear determination in her eyes as she replied, “I will return to you, your highness. I swear I will because my place is with you.” This wasn’t just an answer to the emperor’s question, but also a vow Poliana made to herself. Lucius the First knew what his knightess meant. He understood how she felt, and even then, he couldn’t help feeling disappointed. ‘I should’ve proposed as soon as I…

Chapter 283 Once a woman was pregnant, everything in her life changed to accommodate the baby. She was told to only think good thoughts, eat good things, hear good sounds, and see good scenes. In her case, however, this wasn’t going to work. Unfortunately, Poliana Winter was not a good person. Everything was supposed to be good when a woman was pregnant, but how could this rule work when the mother-to-be herself was not good? All Poliana wanted was for this baby to be gone; she did not need or want…

Chapter 282 Poliana couldn’t imagine how the emperor would react. Maybe her confession would create an incident where the emperor falls off his throne. It will be the first time ever in history that something like this had happened. ‘But I can’t just ‘forget’ about this anymore! It’s not possible!’ While Poliana contemplated, Princess Luminae giggled beautifully. Her golden hair, though different shade than her father’s, still shined with amazing luster. The head of the Second Division…
