“Debt?”
“I didn’t point out anything about your remarks.”
Amalie looked at Gayan silently. Gayan smiled.
Riagan Duchy was a matter between the Emperor and the Empress.
Lawrence has already turned away from Miraila to win the Empress’ approval. The Emperor watched it.
Favors for Lawrence are not the same as they used to be. This time, however, he dared to touch the Duke of Riagan, which the Emperor himself had chosen, for the Empress.
Rather, it would be okay to touch a powerful nobleman or a government official.
The Emperor would have been proud if he had succeeded in trampling Chancellor Lin, or if he had developed control over the court by taking Amalie or Gayan as a scapegoat.

However, the Duke of Riagan is the dog of the Emperor.
When a grown-up, hateful son kicks an old dog that has been raised for 18 years, he will get angry. Even if the dog started to disobey.
If he’s lucky, he’ll get everything, but rather, the Empress is more likely to demand more and incur the Emperor’s anger.
Gayan did not point that out in front of Lawrence.
He did not even point out that Amalie could not make such a high-risk proposal.
“….”
Amalie turned her gaze without having to deny it.
Lawrence seldom listens even when one gives advice. Gayan knew that Amalie had been feeling skeptical from the beginning.
In fact, her remarks have declined dramatically in recent years.

Putting it all together, what she said today couldn’t have been done for Lawrence. Amalie is not a young official in a hurry to build her achievements.
Gayan said.
“Lord Lawrence doesn’t know how to fear His Majesty. I guess I’m not the only one who realizes that.”
“Did you not know before?”
“I did.”
Gayan’s carriage reached the front door. Still, Gayan continued to speak without thinking of moving.
“Miraila is still alive.”
“….”
“To be honest, even if His Majesty is angry, I don’t think he’s going to give up on Sir Lawrence.”

“Is that so?”
“Countess Eunice is someone whose vision is only in her family’s troubles, and Countess Josiah ran away from the capital because she was too scared. The husbands, too, were chosen by His Majesty deliberately to be quiet and passive….. Now, it is difficult to teach them about imperialism.”
Gayan evaluated the other two illegitimate daughters of the Emperor as such.
So, if the Emperor decides to hand over the crown to his child no matter what, it means there is no other alternative.
Gayan must have guessed who Amalie decided to kneel to. After erasing the children of the Emperor and Grand Duke Roygar, there is only one royal family left.
And when it comes to human affairs, he probably knows that Amalie’s choice is the best for them.
On the other hand, he also judged that the Emperor’s will is more important than who the king is.
Amalie said.
“Who doesn’t know it’s difficult to get off the boat on a flowing river?”

“Thank you for your understanding. I trust Dame Harper’s eyes. Please leave it to me.”
That meant he wouldn’t disturb her.
That was enough. He will turn this way the moment he thinks that Lawrence’s ship is likely to sink.
It could have been better than visually increasing power or even taking a hit on Lawrence.
Gayan waved and said goodbye to Amalie.
Amalie also lightly nodded and greeted each other. Then, watching Gayan’s carriage, she muttered to herself.
“For Sir Lawrence to arouse His Majesty’s anger…….How can that be a simple thing?”
There was no one else who could hear that.

Countess Eunice’s eldest daughter Fiona, who turned 16 not long ago, was sitting in front of the piano.
When she dressed up in nice clothes and raised her hair, she looked quite a pretty lady. The Emperor stood next to her with a smile and handed over a sheet of music.
Fiona’s performance was frankly incompetent. She was sitting next to the Emperor, so she was nervous by the pressure and she made more mistakes.
Even if he is her maternal grandfather, he is also the Emperor. And Fiona was at the age that already knew what power was.
Hayley had never played the piano, and she wasn’t familiar with it. However she knows for the first time that when the piano keys were tapped, it could make such a scratching sound.
Even though it was a terrace with an open space toward the garden.
Even Countess Eunice, who was sitting across, didn’t look good.
Fiona tried to exaggerate her skills in order to be seen by the Emperor and she failed.
It was a matter of being seen affectionately. But the Emperor smiled.

Fiona’s insidious attitude resembles Countess Eunice. One way or another, it was cute to the Emperor.
When the performance was over, the Emperor escorted Fiona back to the tea table, and he said.
“You practiced a lot,”
“Oh, yes, Your Majesty.”
“You don’t have to struggle to perform too difficult songs, Fiona. A lady’s playing skills should be good enough to entertain her family in the salon.”
“Yes…..”
Fiona replied with difficulty. She bit her lips firmly, and looked around the terrace.
And she pointed out to Lysia, who looked easygoing and young, among them.
“How about Morten Heir Apparent?”

“Yes?”
Lysia, who was playing with the bunny doll and the ten-year-old younger daughter Larni, was surprised and asked again.
“Me?”
“Yes. What is Morten Heir Apparent learning these days?”
Lysia’s face turned red.
“Shooting.”
