“What? Who is he to say that?”
“He said Lady Artizea is the master of the Marquisate Rosan, so he would tell her about what happened.”
Miraila stood up once more.
“Tia is the master? You just stood there listening to him?”
“It was the Grand Duke Evron. How could I dare to answer him? He could have slit my throat at that very moment.”
“Ha.”
Miraila felt her throat burn and reached out her hand. Bill quickly offered her a glass of cold water.
Miraila drank the glass of water, sighed and sat back down on the couch.

‘It’s strange. Where did she meet the Grand Duke Evron?’
She had a hunch.
When it came to relationships between a man and a woman, Miraila’s hunches had always been right.
Rationally, she thought there was no way an unattractive girl like Artizea could catch the Grand Duke Evron. There was no way they could have met anywhere.
But her hunch told her otherwise.
Somehow she felt a little unpleasant, no, she was really in a bad mood.
Artizea was an ugly girl. Miraila thought that from the bottom of her heart.
‘Artizea doesn’t resemble me at all. She’s 18 years old, but she doesn’t have any feminine traits, not even a charm. She could only live with me, because I’m her mother. She has no chance of getting married, right?’
That’s what she thought, but not the Grand Duke Evron.

However, Miraila also believed that all girls were the same. Even with the odds against them, they would find a way to seduce men.
‘Maybe I’m overthinking it.’
At that point. A servant knocked hastily at the door.
Bill offered a small apology to Miraila, and went to open the door.
“Head Butler, Grand Duke Evron’s squire is here.”
“His squire? What for?”
“Apparently, after attending the ball at Count Enda’s estate, the Grand Duke and Miss Artizea went somewhere in her carriage. His Grace asked the squire to wait for him here.”
“What?”
Bill glanced sidelong at Miraila, her face was turning fierce.

Just then Lawrence appeared.
He had just returned home after going out for some fresh air. He was frowning, like he was upset about something.
“Young Master, did you enjoy your outing?”
Bill bowed his head politely. The servant knelt quickly on one knee.
Lawrence used to stare at Bill, the Head Butler, when he was in a bad mood.
And now, it seemed to be the case.
“Bill. Grand Duke Evron’s squire is out there. What’s going on?”
“Oh, that is…”
“Lawrence, my prince, welcome home.”

Miraila left her room with a bright smile, wearing a coat over her thin robe.
Lawrence looked at his mother with an annoyed expression.
“Did any trouble happen with the Grand Duke Evron?”
“No. How could I have a problem with the Grand Duke? He is a warrior who goes from one battlefield to another. He only came to visit Tia this afternoon.”
Miraila grumbled. Lawrence’s face contorted.
“Are you angry about something?”
“You haven’t been disrespectful to the Grand Duke Evron, right?”
“I haven’t even seen him. When the butler informed him that Tia had gone to the ball at Count Enda’s estate, he went over there.”
“I understand. If he comes back, don’t interfere. Stay out of it. I’ll take care of it.”

“Why?”
“Mother, Grand Duke Evron is a man of integrity. It’s been a while since Tia did anything useful, but if someone like you interferes, it’ll all be ruined.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Miraila reacted startled. Lawrence said coldly.
“Mother, the Grand Duke despises you. You talk as if you don’t know that. And unfortunately, he despises me, too. For that very reason, my father has not been able to trust me with the seat of the Crown Prince.”
The hidden meaning in his words was obvious. Miraila’s face turned pale.
However, she did nothing.
With Artizea, she acted like the greatest tyrant in the world. But with her son, she was an understanding and submissive mother.

Marcus hesitated bitterly for a long time when she asked him to return to the Marquisate Rosan and help her.
Although he had accepted Artizea as the heir apparent, returning to the Marquisate Rosan was another matter.
「I will marry soon, and I will retrieve the Marquisate Rosan from my mother’s clutches. I’ll need Mr. Hanson then.」
It had been almost 18 years since he had last been to the Marquisate Rosan.
Currently, all employees of the Marquisate Rosan in relevant positions, serve Miraila.
the estate of the Marquisate Rosan was large and its wealth enormous. It would be difficult to fight them all at once.
「I want to prevent the Rosan Family’s assets from being stolen and get it all back. Mr. Hanson, you know all about the Marquisate Rosan. Besides, you know most of the former employees, right?」
「Well, that’s true, but…」
「So I don’t think it’s difficult for you to understand and control the situation. It would be even better if the entire Hanson Family could come and help. Please, return to your rightful position and help me.」

「But my family has been accused of poisoning the direct descendants of the Marquess Rosan, so how can we return?」
「It was 18 years ago. Right now, poisoning has become a thing of the past. His Majesty intervened to clarify the situation, but the real culprit could not be identified.」
Artizea continued.
「My mother tried to incriminate the Hanson Family, but not only did she have no evidence, but no one believed her. So she thought, it would be better to leave it at that.」
「Heir apparent…」
