Antonio immediately let go of the strength in his hands and let his hair down. But he cried out in anger and rubbed the pinched part.

"This crazy thing! How dare you injure the body of the royal family!"

"So, who wants to hold the hair?"

"Hey, you cheeky...!"

Antonio was really angry, and again grabbed Raphine's hair.

Raphine also did not lose and twisted the pinched part.

It turned out to be a bit of an arm wrestling match. Raphine pinched harder as she could endure the pain on her scalp.

"Ah, ah! Alas!"

In the end, it was Raphine who won.

'Wow, childish.'

Raphine brushed off her hair that had regained her freedom. Antonio groaned and sat down and began to cry.

"Aww! you, you, dare... Whoa, where's the use of both hands! You cowardly, naughty girl!"

"... what?"

Are you two-handed? I only pinched one side?

Raphine looked down at Antonio who began to cry with a puzzled expression.

Antonio was in great pain as he grabbed Raphine's untwisted arm.

"I'm sorry, I secretly pinched you. master."

"I secretly pinched you too, I'm sorry. Baby."

"...."

Raphine kept her mouth shut.

Unexpectedly... It was a very cowardly fight 3:1.

Raphine felt sorry for nothing and looked at Antonio, then just turned around.

So who touched it first?

Behind your back ahhh! A sad cry was heard, but he ignored it.

* * *

That night.

Raphine sweated and struggled with her brush.

Dad, who left work early today, is at dinner time....

"Raphine, is it true that you went to His Majesty the Emperor and showed him the painting? yes?>

because I asked.

Hearing that, Adrian's brow wrinkled.

Luca and Lois also became bloody at the same time.

'I hate Raphine! You didn't draw me!>

"Raphine, draw me right now. Then your brother won't play with you again?>

So after dinner, Raphine had to paint one picture for each family member.

In addition, after I drew pictures of my father and three brothers, my mother also lined up.

Behind him, Sylane and Sir Rendell were sneaking in line.

'I'm sorry. The picture he drew for the emperor was drawn by Ruby.'

I only saw the net!

"Your drawing skills will definitely improve, sweetheart."

"Please draw me too, Master. Me too!"

"Ugh...."

Raphine took a deep breath.

It seemed that for the time being, I would only draw dozens of pictures.

***

The Empress's Sepia Palace.

Empress Rebecca drank the newly brought in black tea and elegantly enjoyed the fragrance.

In recent years, this tea and colorful teacups have been very popular among ladies and gentlemen.

I heard that more and more people are inviting people to their homes to see tea cups and serve tea and desserts.

It was a tea party.

'Shall I have a tea party too?'

Empress Rebecca pondered as she looked at the beautiful teacups, then shook her head.

'I need to collect more and more precious and beautiful teacups.'

I have heard that some teacups are made of gold and precious stones, and cost as much as expensive jewellery.

'My father would do something like that.'

Unfortunately, I heard that the teacup and tea business is monopolized by the top that created 'Or Cafe'.

She chuckled and put down her teacup.

Then, a crackling sound was heard.

When I allowed them to come in, it was one of the maids who came in.

"What's going on? I would have told you not to disturb me."

"I, that...."

The maid approached Empress Rebecca with a serious expression and reported.

"What?"

Upon hearing the story, Empress Rebecca's expression immediately became seriously wrinkled.

She got up and hurriedly left the house.

The place where Empress Rebecca was headed was the detached palace where the second prince Antonio was staying.

As soon as they entered the drawing room, Empress Rebecca cried out.

"What is this, Prince!"

Antonio, who was sitting on the sofa, shuddered and shook his shoulders.

"You hurt, where and how much!"

Empress Rebecca carefully checked Antonio's complexion and traced her body.

"It's okay, mother."

Antonio said so and looked at the servants.

"These guys, tell your mother? Didn't I say it was okay?"

However, the servants trembled and bowed their heads in fear of making eye contact with Empress Rebecca.

"Hey, this can't be...!"

Empress Rebecca checked the inside of Antonio's arm and sat down in surprise.

There were blue bruises on her pale, white skin without a single speck.

"how... Who the hell is this! Who dared our prince...!"

Rebecca smirked in shock.

Is there anyone in this imperial castle who dares to do something like this to the prince? ....

But strangely, Antonio never spoke. He just kept his mouth shut and shook his head stubbornly.

I tried conciliation and threats, but none of them worked.

Rebecca was on the verge of going crazy.

At that time, one of the maids approached, guessing what she was thinking and said.

"May I... Queen's Majesty. This is my guess, but...."

"Tell me. right now!"

"That is... Could it be that the education teacher sent by the Empress Dowager did the work?"

"what?"

The queen wrinkled her brow.

However, the education teacher sent by the Empress was a scholar who was famous among the aristocrats with a good personality.

It was a teacher sent by the Empress, so I didn't like it at first, but....

'Antonio has been pretty docile since the teacher came.'

So the Empress also thought that she had sent a good teacher, being conscious of other people's eyes.

Even if you send a strange teacher, the empress will be the one who suffers.

So I was satisfied....

The maid continued to speak.

"It is the teacher who spends the most time with His Majesty Antonio. Aren't the servants and servants afraid of His Majesty Antonio, so they don't even put their clothes on their skin?"

"...."

It was true. Antonio was so sensitive that he terribly hated having other people's hands touch his own skin.

Antonio, who often kicks and beats servants and servants, couldn't have stayed still.

In addition, he was a child who was sensitive to sleep even at night, so he would wake up even if someone touched him or heard a small noise.

Therefore, there could be no criminal between the servant and the servant.

Then there was only one answer.

'That's the teacher, the empress brought a viper to my son!'

teeth are broken

I couldn't help but roll my eyes when my son, whom I had raised so preciously, had to suffer like this.

"Somehow, I thought that Antonio had become noticeably calmer after the teacher came.... It was the boy's work."

How much bullying and threatening to a child....

Rebecca was pitiful and pitiful for Antonio, who would have been naive.

Wiping away the flowing tears, she summoned the servants of the detached palace.

"Have any of you seen the prince's education teacher mistreating the prince? I will give gold to those who testify."

The servants started looking at each other.

Among them, a servant who was blinded by the word 'golden' raised his hand gently.

Then he trembled and said.

"Hey, it's not about abuse... I've only seen the Prince urge his Highness. Because you are very angry... Of course, there were times when I wondered."

Half true and half not.

When Antonio found a young animal in the garden, he was found abusing and harassing the animal and was disciplined by his teacher.

The servant was blinded by gold and spoke without telling the truth.

'It's okay because it's not a lie anyway.'

So rationalizing, the servant waited for the gold that would soon fall.

"good. give you gold You guys, bring that girl to me now, right now!"

* * *

"Come on, tell me the truth! Empress What did it do to you!"

"I don't know!"

Empress Rebecca asked, urging the teacher who had been brought in immediately. However, the education teacher insisted that it was unknown to the end.

Her hair was grabbed and slapped in the cheek in a row, but her face was not a word. Empress Rebecca tried to get a confession from her directly.

"My Majesty, please calm down. Yes?"

Even if the maids dried it, it was no use.

After seeing the bruise on her son's arm, Rebecca's eyes began to roll and she went crazy.

"It's all over the place, yes. I will take you personally and go to the Empress and ask!"

The Empress, accompanied by her servants, led an education teacher and headed directly to the Empress's Palace.

It was the first time the empress had been so excited with anger, so the servants did not even think about stopping them.

They were just following the empress, exchanging anxious glances with each other in case a spark would break out.

Antonio, who is being dragged by the hand of the empress at the same time, also began to get tired of his face gradually turning blue.
