-After one month.
Many assassination guilds that were willing to do any dirty work for money were destroyed.
All the guild leaders were killed or taken somewhere. Since no one had seen them since then, it was easy to guess what the ending would be.
And this is what the Crown Prince did.
“Crazy bastard”
It was something he could do because he was the Crown Prince.
Do you think that if you stop the assassination ring, there will be no more killers? Or maybe he was just angry?
Whatever it was, it only upset Augustin.
Assassination guilds became more sophisticated and hid in darker places than ever before.
Augustin closed the balcony door nervously.
“Don't take your anger out on unnecessary things, Augustin.”
“Isn't my father angry?”
“In the first place, do you think you can hit the Crown Prince with such a rude move?”
Duke Spellman smiled coldly and closed the notebook he was looking at.
Dark eyes turned to Augustin.
Although it contained a smile, it was an arrogant look that looked at Augustin without a trace of warmth.
Augustin bit his lip.
“If I keep hitting, even the hardest rocks will break!”
“But the Princess and Empress are alive, and the Crown Prince is powerful. Nothing has been accomplished.”
Augustin was angry.
"And what did my father do? Hasn't my father accomplished anything yet?"
Duke Spellman let out a heavy breath.
Augustin is trivial and light.
His patience is short and he does not know how to wait.
Although I explained that a successful hunt is due to a wild animal that knows how to wait.
Augustin had a patient disposition.
Although he confirmed this fact several times, I was very disappointed.
'Was it different for Evelyn?'
I don't know why I keep thinking this way.
It was clear that remorse aroused unnecessary emotional feelings in Duke Spellman.
“Just wait and see,” Duke Spellman spoke calmly.
“The princess’s birthday is coming soon. The Emperor will not come, and the Empress will not come either.”
Augustin was full of anticipation.
“As long as there are no variables, what happens will happen.”
"Please explain what's going to happen. Shouldn't I know and help?"
Duke Spellman stared at Augustin.
Looking at his shining face, I was convinced that I should never reveal my plans. Augustin will only help spoil my work.
“You have other things to take care of.”
“Yes?”
“Recently, marriage talks have been going on with Marquis Raymond. It is the marriage talk that has come to you.”
Augustin swallowed.
Typically, children of high-ranking nobles would marry at a young age and hold a ceremony when they reached marriageable age. Unless you're a special case like Evelyn.
But the strange thing is that Augustin was alone all the time. Duke Spelmann consoled Augustin by saying: “I feel sorry for you.”
Augustin finally had a sound foundation.
Naturally, Spellman would also be a strong supporter of Augustin, but as long as the Duke held on, Augustin's movements would be restricted.
Duke Spelmann was not one to give away what he held until his death. The best way is for him to take on the aura of his wife's family and put pressure on the father.
Marquis Raymond was a member of a historical political family. In addition, his finances are very strong, so it will be beneficial for Augustin.
“He is a good marriage partner.”
“It's a place you don't want to miss. The first daughter will be the heiress, so it might be difficult for you as a partner, but the second daughter isn't. I heard that the person she was engaged to when she was young recently died of pneumonia.”
Augustin also heard about the second daughter.
I never thought that Marquis Raymond's second daughter would turn out to be like Augustine.
Spielmann looked at Augustin, who seemed pleased.
“If you want something, you have to know how to get it”
Marquis Raymond's second child was a child he had been thinking about having for a long time. So I removed it because there was an obstruction.
Augustin, who did not know what Duke Spellman was up to, laughed heartily.
“I will love it”
"So you need to focus on that. You have your first appointment scheduled for this weekend. Can you do a good job?"
“Just trust me, Dad!” ,
Augustin shouted loudly.
In this system, no one objected to Spelman's tuning.
Even if you are attending a social gathering, you will often see an eye or two following Augustin.
This will be an opportunity for Augustin.
“Just wait and see, Dad.”
It will be as if my father gave me wings.

Over the past month, the tug-of-war with Sirtine has continued endlessly.
Certain still made me nervous, and the threats to the imperial family never stopped.
They continued to arrest suspicious people under the pretext of playing hide and seek.
'What are you doing now?' You're talking about interesting things without me!'
'What are you talking about, Your Majesty? This is not the case at all!
‘My husband! 'Sirtain, my husband!'
Such as arresting servants who communicate with secret agents from abroad.
It was so much fun.
I was walking around early in the morning without anyone noticing, so they thought I was a ghost. I just shouldn't do anything that might lead to me or others being stabbed.
'Great, what's in this cart?'
‘…It is an ordinary food ingredient. Fresh seasonal fish comes in so I have to move quickly. Fish and shellfish decompose quickly... Your Majesty!'
'What?' I'm not stupid! This is not a fish! You lied to me!'
'No. No, Your Majesty, please…'
'My husband, sirtin! Where are you?'
For example, those who buy food from abroad catch contraband brought in secretly.
It was like catching a mouse while walking backwards, and the chaos of the people working was clearly visible.
Anyway, I did well.
It was a bit of a difficult process.
After picking up evidence from the scene, Serena and Rosie watched me cloy. Their faces were frightened as they were worried that they might be caught again, but if that was the case, there was no need to do anything bad.
"Oh, this is annoying! This is annoying me so much! Go away!"
“Oh, we're friends, Miss Evelyn.”
"That's right! They say friends never stay away from each other!"
They are using the opposite of what I used.
You two don't think I can do anything just because you're like this...
For some reason, Certin forbade the Empress to meet Princess Veronica. I don't know why because I don't have the courage to question the Crown Prince.
But I'm comfortable with it, so it's okay.
I forced myf to eat cookies once or twice, and it made me feel really frustrated. Yes. My stomach felt good when I thought I wouldn't have to eat those poisonous cookies for a while.
Rosalina was following me with a calm expression.
It was different than Serena or Rosie, who were struggling with the canopy.
Her eyes still say: “I am different from you.”
I already knew why she stayed by my side.
Certin appears to be her target.
She pretended she wasn't, but I could clearly see her face light up every time Sirtin came to visit me.
Desire and naked greed inside her.
Anyway, even though their goals were different, the three of them were following me with the sole goal of not losing sight of me.
"Where are you going, Your Highness? What are you doing today?"
Rosie screamed desperately.
There was a reason for this hasty haste.
“I'm going to buy a birthday present. It was Veer's birthday!”
How could I let this opportunity pass now? It's a blessing to be able to get out.
It would be great if I could get rid of the three people who are following me around like sausages.
Even if it was impossible, it was a great opportunity to get out of here.
I've been in the Imperial Castle the whole time-!
So, as soon as she knew it was Veronica's birthday, she rushed out. To obtain permission from Sirtin-!
I jumped up excitedly, hitting my feet on the ground.
“Are you meeting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?”
“Yes! I will ask my husband to let me leave!”
“Go quickly, Your Highness.”
As soon as she heard that she was going to meet Cyrtain, Rosalina had an expression of happiness on her face.
Tsk tsk. Is this really okay without knowing how dangerous it is?
Sertin was also outside at that moment. He is having tea with someone in the garden. Can I interrupt him?
I hesitated for a moment, but Sirtain's eyes turned to me.
I smiled brightly without realizing it.
"my husband!" I shouted cheerfully.
