Chapter 208: Chapter 208

“What? Did I take away everything from you?”

I was taken aback at her staring at me as if she thought I was absurd.

Who is yelling at who now? Do you think you can look at me like that?

“You took away my family, my love, my honor and my status. You took everything from me.

Then, what did you say? You’ve come back to win? Why, is it because you were not satisfied with your achievements? What ill-fated relationship did you have with me to do this to me?”

“Oh, you’re comfortable speaking like that because you only lived until then.”

“What are you talking about?”

“That’s enough. You don’t have to know.”

She hysterically swept through her hair, while babbling about something I could not understand.

When I tried to say something, I felt that the wagon stopped.

After taking a deep breath, I looked out the window. The knights of my family who saw the crest of the Duke Jena family were staring at the wagon with a wary expression. Fortunately, the wagon arrived at my house.

“Don’t touch me again. This is my last warning! ”

After spitting out a cold warning, I got off the wagon.

After responding appropriately to the knights asking me worriedly, I returned to my room and chewed over what I talked with her. The more I thought about it, the more upset I was.

How can I kick her butt? Anyway, the mastermind of all this must be Duke Jena.

‘Calm down for now, Aristia.’

I organized my thoughts after taking a deep breath several times. But no matter how hard I thought, there was only one way. Although I didn’t want it, there was no other way than to rely on the power of the pro-emperor faction to get rid of Jiun and the noble faction. No matter how powerful my family was, it could not solve everything alone.

After agonizing for some time, I picked up my pen with a sigh. Then, I wrote down on the silver-colored letter.

I wrote another letter with the same contents, put it in a silver envelope, and stamped it with the family seal. After writing down the recipient’s name, I pulled the string. Shortly afterwards, Lina came in and said, “Did you call me, my lady?”

“Yes. Can you send me these letters? The recipients are on the envelopes.”

“Okay. Do you need any more help? ”

“Well, can you sit down for a second? I have something to ask. ”

When I spoke after agonizing for a moment, she sat down, tilting her head.

“What’s the matter?”

“I wonder if any of our maids or servants here can find out what’s going on in the Earl Dias family.”

“What? I don’t think so. As you know, the Dias family is hostile to your family.”

I sighed, looking at her shrugging dismissively. Although I expected her reaction, I felt jammed up inside when I confirmed it.

‘How can I secretly get the information about the Dias family?’

Looking at me pressing my temper hard, she hesitantly asked, “My lady, sorry for my presumptuous question, but why are you suddenly talking about the Dias family? Has anybody here contacted them?”

“Ugh? No, nothing like that. ”

Although I shook my head, she was still looking at me with anxious eyes. It seemed that she wondered if there was a betrayer among the servants or maids in connection with several recent accidents.

After agonizing a bit, I opened my mouth slowly. Anyway, I needed her help, and I didn’t want to tell her the whole story, so I felt it wouldn’t be a big problem if I explained to her a bit.

“Well, actually, I want to know what Countess Dias is doing these days. As you, the best source of such information can come from those serving her.”

“Oh, is that what you want?”

Feeling greatly relieved to hear me, she said, as if she hit upon a good idea, “I think I can find out some way to do so.”
