Chapter 35
Proofreader: xoxomonami
In order to prevent others from eavesdropping, Artizea only had her people around the parlor.
It was not that she didn’t believe in the people of the Grand Duke of Evron, but it was better to be careful. Even information spilled thoughtlessly could be dangerous.
On the other hand, there was no opportunity to look inside.
Artizea decided to discuss the matter with Ansgar today. At the very least, she had to install a sound collector and an eye hole with a lens.
That would be a later project anyway.
Artizea took a small breath and opened the door to the parlor.
“…..”
Lawrence sat cross-legged on the parlor sofa with his eyes closed.

Unlike Artizea, he emitted an aura that resembled Miraila’s.
His fascinating appearance was as sweet as a prince dreamed of by all girls and his cheeks were bright like a person who had been dancing somewhere all night long.
However, Artizea could see that he had struggled to contain his anger, which could burst at any moment and struggled to put a lid on it.
That’s why he closed his eyes as if he couldn’t hear it, even though he came in while showing off his popularity.
In the past, Artizea had evaluated Lawrence this way.
“Brother Lawrence isn’t a foolish person. He has a sense for politics and a sense of judgment. However, he inherited his arrogance from His Majesty, the Emperor, and from his mother who had an unpredictable temperament.”
Both of them easily trampled on his reason and often made him vicious.
Whatever great qualities he had, it was a serious problem that would be offset by his flaws.
A mad emperor or a selfish and greedy emperor. Measuring Lawrence and Roygar determines that. In the past, it was natural that Chancellor Lin did not choose and ultimately quit.

Nevertheless, Artizea thought that Lawrence would be able to overcome his shortcomings.
In other words, this was Artizea’s flaw. It was a judgment that was clouded by blood ties.
Eventually, Lawrence ceased to be completely in control of himself when no one was oppressing him.
But not at this point. He still had a control called the emperor.
So he won’t be able to pour out that anger on Artizea. Now that she was Cedric’s fiancée. Lawrence knows that politics is a delicate and complex affair.
Even though the emperor’s seat seemed to be of absolute power, he understood that it was a position placed on a balance of powers.
So no matter how dissatisfied he may be, he will behave with a soft voice at the presence of the Grand Duke of Evron.
It wasn’t only the emperor’s loyal subjects, but the emperor, himself, told Lawrence to bring Cedric in. Artizea knew it.
However, in a voice that seemed unaware of anything like that, Artizea cautiously called Lawrence.

“You are here, brother?”
Still, it is good to be considered a helpless girl.
Lawrence opened his eyes. Artizea bowed politely to him.
Instead of greeting each other, he still looked at Artizea’s face.
There was a bruise on the eyebrows, and the scratches on her temple and chin had turned purple.
There was a hit mark on her wrist that was exposed from under one of her fluffy sleeves. There would be more scars in the parts that could not be easily seen.
Artizea did not turn her head, nor cover her wounds.
Lawrence finally sighed when he saw Artizea’s pale complexion.
“Sit down.”

“Yes.”
Artizea avoided the main seat and sat across from Lawrence.
“I heard that you haven’t been in the annex.”
“I went out to get some air.”
“Have you heard the news? Have you been home?”
“Yes. You’ve organized your belongings.”
“Yes, Grand Duke Evron said it would be better to stay at the residence before the wedding.”
“I see.”
It wouldn’t be right to start living together before marriage. Moreover, Artizea is still only 18 years old.

But Lawrence didn’t say a word about it.
Cedric couldn’t stand still when he saw a woman’s face like that. Well, much more against his fiancée.
This had already left Lawrence’s hands.
“How’s mother doing?”
“Listen, she’s down with hysteria.”
Artizea knew all the steps contained in that single sentence.
The mansion will be draped like an evacuation procession, and the maids will roam silently, terrified.
Miraila was now in bed, fluttering in depression.
Anger is a matter of using energy. She once burst into anger and beat Artizea, but then became exhausted and treated her tenderly the next day.

With a sad or sorry face, she acted like a person about to die.
「It’s because I can only rely on you.」
Saying so.
Lawrence asked as Artizea lowered her head.
“If you’re able to, come see her for a moment.”
“No. I don’t want to see my mother for the time being. I think this would be a good opportunity. I’m thinking taking this opportunity to sever ties with my mother.”
Lawrence asked back in amazement.
“Are you serious?”
“Yes.”
