Anna blinked her eyes in embarrassment.

Then she cried when Viscount Merion sat beside her and turned to herself, she was bewildered.

"Oh, no! I am healthy, Your Majesty. Besides, to be treated by Your Majesty's doctor... How dare I... I am healthy!"

"Nevertheless, I even called the doctor for you, so take even a light pulse. Viscount Merion is a doctor with her magical powers, so a diagnosis can be made just by touching her wrist."

"Ha, but I'm fine..."

"Isn't it possible that you may have developed a disease that you are not aware of while traveling? I called it on purpose, so please accept it."

The empress's tone of voice was no longer gentle. She overtly gave orders mixed with coercion.

As someone who has reigned in her highest position, the sense of intimidation felt in her tone and expression was great.

She further said that she had no justification for rejecting her orders as the Empress.

Anna's lips began to tremble.

"..."

Anna couldn't hide her particularly bewildered look.

The Empress's doctor was not an easy place for her to get. She was truly a position that only a few of her names could rise.

The fact that she is pregnant will be immediately known by just a glance at her veins.

"Why are you so nervous, Anna?"

"..."

Anna didn't say anything to the Empress's question.

At that moment, Viscount Merion, who was quietly in her bed, grabbed Miss Anna's hands and dragged her away.

Then she stretched out her Anna's hands and placed her own palms on hers, and she slowly began to unleash her magical powers.

The blue energy from her Viscount Merion's hand was absorbed through Anna's palm.

'It's amazing to see medical treatment with magic.'

Raphine narrowed her eyes and looked at Viscount Merion.

'Did you not notice that the empress later became ill?'

Did she know that she had an incurable disease and didn't treat it, or did she deliberately pretend that she didn't see it?

Raphine decided to question whether Viscount Merion would later be subsumed by the Empress.

Because in the original, it didn't come out that much detail.

Raphine waited for the words to come out of the doctor's mouth.

As if her pulse had ended, Viscount Merion withdrew her hand. And Anna trembled like a man on the verge of her death sentence.

"Fortunately, you appear to be in good health. but..."

All eyes turned to Viscount Merion.

"You appear to be pregnant."

"..."

Her empress's complexion hardened. It was according to the result of her spirit divination.

"Your Majesty, that is..."

Anna came down from her seat and knelt down on her knees, drenched in tears.

The Empress asked in a low, cold voice.

"Is it Ethan's child?"

"Lungs, Your Majesty..."

"It can't be. What's the deal with Sir Gelsitan?"

"..."

Anna began to tremble at her name that came out of her empress's mouth. She looked very bewildered. It seems she hadn't even imagined.

And she was then.

thud!

Suddenly the living room door opened and someone walked in.

The servants stopped him in bewilderment, but it seemed that the man who opened the door pushed him in recklessly.

"Anna!"

"..."

It was Sir Lorelian and Ethan who entered the drawing room.

"Sister, what the hell are you doing now!"

Ethan walked, kneeling on her knees, and raised Anna crying. Then he looked at the empress with aggressive eyes.

The Empress looked at Ethan, blinking her eyes in disbelief.

It was the first time I had seen my youngest brother, who was always kind and obedient, so angry.

Ethan bit his lip and said.

"Anna noticed that she disliked her sheep. Anyway, how did you even do this... This is the woman I love! How did you..."

"Ethan!"

Sir Ethan sighed deeply, realizing that only then the Duchess and Raphine were present.

Then she tried to help Anna out and take her away.

"stop. You will never marry that woman, Ethan Lorelian."

"sister!"

"Get that woman out right now! What are you doing! Without dragging!"

At the empress's shouts, her attendants and knights grabbed her Anna by her side and began to drag her away.

Sir Ethan approached the Empress with an angry face all the way to the tip of his head.

"I didn't know you were going to do this to me."

"A woman with another man's child! how are you..."

"It doesn't matter!"

"Ethan!"

"... It was weird from the start. And Caitlyn suddenly asked her to reconsider her marriage to Anna... It must have all been done by you."

Ethan looked at the Empress's handmaiden who was sitting opposite Raphine and said.

"Lorelian! that..."

The Empress's handmaiden, Caitlyn, jumped up, blushing.

She had no idea what to do with her body.

'... Do you already know Sir Lorelian?'

「Looks like that.」

'Ah... I guess she likes Sir Ethan!'

Raphine seemed to understand now.

The reason that maid was crying yesterday.

Moreover, she was certain that she had gone to Sir Laurelian to stop her marriage to Anna.

Unfortunately, Sir Lorelian seems to have misunderstood that it was the work of the Empress, but...

Raphine was convinced as she saw her maid looking at her Ethan with her sorrowful eyes.

"It doesn't matter what the reason! That woman will never be allowed into the Lorelian House!"

The Empress did not seem to understand Ethan's words, but she spoke firmly.

Ethan stood still for a moment, then she turned around, as if she had made up her mind.

"Then I will leave the Lorelian House."

She left behind a shocking remark.

'That hogu!'

「Fool!」

Ethan belatedly walked out of her drawing room to pick up her Anna.

"I will follow you, Your Majesty!"

The Empress's maid, Caitlyn, immediately followed Ethan.

'What the hell is this...'

It was going well as planned, but it was ruined by that hogu. Raphine bit her lips tightly.

It was then.

"your Majesty!"

The Empress fell on the sofa with her forehead pressed. Her Sophia was startled and she lifted her up.

Even the attending physician was startled and began to diaphragm her empress.

'driving me crazy.'

Raphine's expression turned pale. She feared that the Empress might be ill from her already stressful stress.

The crazy situation continued. Shortly thereafter, with another squeaking sound, someone entered the drawing room.

"Huh?"

Raphine blinked her eyes in amazement at the man who had entered the parlor.

She was one of the Duke of Aston's aides.

He bowed her head to the Empress and Sophia and said,

"This is a document sent urgently by the Duke. He said it would be good to check right away. This is a document about a woman named 'Anna'."

"What?"

At that, the Empress stretched out her hand. Sophia took her documents and handed them over to the Empress.

The Duke of Aston's aide nodded his head as he was busy with work and left.

"Why did the Duke of Aston..."

"She heard about the woman shoving Raphine and investigated it."

In response to Sophia's answer, the Empress quickly went down to read her papers as if it didn't matter what the reason was.

Her expression became even more wrinkled.

"The abuse of children at the orphanage, what is this..."

Sophia accepted the documents confirmed by the Empress. Raphine poked her head out and looked at her.

'It's also very fast.'

I sent someone straight away last night...

In her documents, the bare face of a woman named Anna was written in every detail. She abused children at the nursery school, and had an affair with the director's husband and was kicked out.

In particular, she detailed how she bullied children, in a way that was quite eccentric and cruel.

In addition to her homicide record, there was even a statement from the shrine stating that she suffered from severe anger control disorders and impulsive disorders.

"Bring her Ethan right now, you must never let her go!"

The Empress gave her orders and gave her orders.

Sophia looked at her trembling Empress with her worried expression on her face.

More than anything else, Raphine was concerned. She leaves Raphine here all the time, so it seems like she's too blind to see her, and when she takes her away, she cares about the Empress.

Raphine went out for such a mother.

"Would you like to go to that wagon?"

At Raphine's words, Sophia nodded her head saying that it would be better.

Sir Rendell is waiting in the wagon, so you will be safe.

"Mom will be leaving soon, so she waits a little bit. got it?"

"Yes."

Raphine answered bravely. Sophia asked the Empress's knights to take her Raphine to her carriage.

'I'll have to go find Sir Lorelian myself!'

But when she left the drawing room, Raphine ran in the direction where Ethan and Caitlyn had disappeared earlier.

"Ah, miss! Wait!"

The knights frantically followed Raphine like that.

'Orphana, can you outrun them?'

「sure! master!」

Orpana replied as if waiting.

As soon as she could finish her words, the decorative mini fountain in the hallway exploded with 'Pang!'.

The knights who were suddenly hit by a water bomb struggled because their vision was obscured.

Rafine did not miss that moment and ran to get to it.

Luckily he didn't go far and he was able to find Ethan and Caitlyn. The two were arguing.

"done! I don't want to talk to you!"

"Ethan..."

The two seemed to have been close friends from the beginning. Ethan pushed Caitlyn away and left.

Caitlyn sighed as she covered her face with her palms.

Raphine approached Caitlyn like that.

"sister."

"Oh... Miss Raphine?"

With tears in her eyes, Caitlyn knelt down on his knees, startled.

"How did you get out of here, Miss Raphine?"

"It's just... But. Does your sister like Sir Lorelian?"

Caitlyn looked embarrassed at Raphine's words. But she soon replied with a smile.

"Yeah, unfortunately, Lord Lorelian hates me. Because I was against marrying Miss Anna."

The corners of Caitlyn's lips as she said that were smiling, but her eyes were brimming with tears.

Raphine felt sorry for her for nothing, so she wiped her tears with her little hand.

"This bitch to kill!"

It was then.

Suddenly, Anna appeared from the opposite side and ran to her with a light on.

In her hand was a sharp hairpin, which she pretended to use as her weapon.

'no... That killer must have gone crazy!'
