For this reason, Grand Duke Roygar concluded,
“It’s not something Cedric did.”
From the point of view of Grand Duke Evron, the successor is not something that can be sacrificed for political reasons.
But it wasn’t just for that.
Cedric and Grand Duke Roygar themselves were in a similar situation, although their lives were different.
They were of the imperial family, but the noble family could not be called blood ties.
The weak maternal family was destroyed altogether when the sisters were framed and executed.
Cedric and he were close relatives. However, there was no opportunity to build affection enough to be called family. Moreover, before they could grow up, each became the master of a different family.

Instead, Marquis Luden served as his strong familial support for a long time.
Even now, with his wife and children, he was the closest relative.
Nevertheless, his relationship with Marquis Luden was still a transactional one.
Therefore, the existence of a wife and a child was very meaningful to Grand Duke Roygar.
Even if he dies, the child who inherited the blood will live and succeed him.
If he survives and gains something, there is a child who will inherit it.
The meaning of life has been completely renewed.
Before the birth of the child, Grand Duke Roygar lived to survive.
And after he had children, he was living to have more in his hands.

So the wife who gave birth to the child was precious.
It was only after he had his own children that he understood the reality of the responsibilities involved in his bloodline and family.
When one has children and a wife, people are bound to change.
So he thought Cedric would compromise;to protect his wife.
Conversely, it has now crossed the negotiable limits. Otherwise, Grand Duke Roygar would have done it himself.
Grand Duke Roygar looked at Marchioness Camellia and said,
“I regret not heeding sister-in-laws warning of execution. Sorry.”
Perhaps this was the work of the ambitious Artizea herself.
He never thought she would sacrifice the child in her womb.

The thing to watch out for was Artizea, as Marchioness Camellia said.
It was an apology with that meaning.
“No, Your Grace. I think that maybe even the Grand Duchess herself did not know.”
said Marchioness Camellia.
“Because, at a young age, she has never had a married sister or experienced birth from her mother. She doesn’t even have a nanny or an adult she can trust.”
“I see.”
Marquis Luden followed the advice of Marchioness Camellia with his own.
“In any case, His Majesty the Emperor has received this cause. The problem is that.”
It happened for the second time after the requisition of supplies to be sent to the north.

It was not known how far the attack would come.
Grand Duke Roygar concluded.
“It is not good to confront Cedric now or to protest the treason itself. Let’s leave him alone for the attack on the Dowager Marchioness Rosan to punish her for treason.”
“Your Grace is correct. He cannot claim any justification in itself. Just because Grand Duchess Evron was persecuted by the temple does not remove the fact that the Dowager Marchioness Rosan cursed Her Majesty.”
“It would be ridiculous to come and change our attitude now. So let’s just leave it alone. Completely, let go. That is enough.”
The Emperor will understand Grand Duke Roygar’s will that he will not push any further on the Dowager Marchioness Rosan’s incident.
Marquis Luden nodded his head.
Grand Duke Roygar changed the subject.
“The problem is on the temple side.”

Grand Duke Roygar looked at Marchioness Camellia and said,
“I’m going to have to cut the loss*. The sooner the better.”
“Don’t worry. Everything has already been prepared.”
Marchioness Camellia said politely.
“As expected, sister-in-law is the most reliable.”
Grand Duke Roygar smiled.

And while all that was happening, Grand Duke Evron’s residence was quieter than ever.

Cedric went out early in the morning to get things done. His knights were put into operation.
The employees whispered even the most essential words, lest to interrupt the rest of the sleeping Grand Duchess.
Artizea opened her eyes two days after she collapsed.
It was a familiar bed. She was also familiar with the sight of the late afternoon sunlight coming through the curtains and brightening the bedroom.
Artizea buried her face in the pillow. She had laid down looking at the ceiling for a long time, her hips and backs were hurt and her bones were sore.
For a while she was extremely tired and seldom slept well. This was the sweetest sleep she had tasted in a long time.
So a little bit more.
There was nothing particularly urgent. No, was there?
In a daze, Artizea mentally counted the things she had to do one by one.

Then she opened her eyes.
Heat surged from her body, perhaps because she had forced herself to wake up from her sleep. Her stomach ached.
Artizea looked around the familiar bedroom.
‘In the prayer room……. Did I take it?’
Her memory was unclear.
Artizea let out a long sigh.
Even after all those years of living, worrying about her subordinates, lying in bed and never being able to get up, she had never lost her memory like this.
Was this the side effects of the drug?
But it wasn’t too bad thinking about it. She had never lost her memory after taking the sleeping pill in the past.
