Chapter 275 (2/2)

I felt a bit better when somebody suddenly called me pleasantly. He was Viscount Faye, the director of the palace affairs office.

When I looked at the side slowly, I saw a man who carried his frame upright smiling at me.

“Good morning, Viscount Faye. Didn’t I see you a week ago?”

“I think that’s right because I am seeing you again for the first time since the banquet. But what business has brought you to the palace affairs office?”

Actually, I came here where my feet took me, so I had no particular business, but something occurred to me suddenly when I saw Viscount Faye’s face.

‘What were their names at that time?’

I opened my mouth, retracing my memories slowly. At first, I thought of sending Beatrice some herbal medicine through my butler, but I wanted to use the royal doctor who examined her condition because it would be better for both her and me if I picked up and sent her correct herbs, given the choice. .

“Well, I’ve come here to ask you a favor. I’m sorry to bother you every time. ”

“That’s fine, Lady Monique. It’s my job anyway. So, what can I do for you?”

“Do you remember the royal doctors who examined Baroness Feden at the recent banquet? I heard that one of them was a 40-something woman, a specialist in gynecology, and the other was a man in his late thirties. The man was very skinny, with a medium height. ”

“Ah, you are referring to Royal Doctor Lant and Royal Doctor Senar. Let me bring them here right away.”

After nodding at me slightly, he gave a servant nearby some instruction. The servant quickly headed somewhere.

When I was chatting with Viscount Faye, waiting for the doctors, I saw a man was entering the office. He, who checked Beatrice’s condition, was the very man who notified me that I was infertile.

“How come the director of the palace affairs office called me…? Oh my…Lady Monique?”

The man who greeted me strangely stuttered as soon as he saw me. I was puzzled because he seemed very embarrassed, but I asked calmly, “Why did you come alone? Is the other doctor off duty? ”

“Who are you referring to?”

“I mean that woman doctor who examined Baroness Feden.”

“Oh, you are referring to Dr. Lant. Yes, she is off today… What’s the matter?”

‘I smell a rat.’ I knitted my brows. I felt suspicious about him because he was startled to see me, let alone his stuttering.

‘Can I check out his reaction?’

But that was impossible. Since I had no idea of what’s going on at the moment, I could not even speculate about this guy’s motivations. So, hiding my curiosity, I just asked casually, “I’d like to send some herbal medicine to Baroness Feden, but I don’t know what would be best for her. Can you let me know?”

“Oh, you mean medicinal herbs? Of course. Let me write it down for you.”

I stared at the man writing some medicines and quantities on paper. As soon as I heard the matter, the appearance of remarkable relief was suspicious.

“Here it is.”

“Thank you. Let me do my own case. ”

I saw him writing down several medicinal herbs on the paper. He seemed very much relieved to hear my question, which also made me suspicious about him.

“Here you are.”

“Thanks. Let me pay for your efforts later.”

Thinking I needed to look into his background, I received the memo from him and went out of the palace affairs office.

While plodding along the road, I suddenly recalled my conversation with Sir Feden again.

Five days passed since the emperor gave Duke Verita one week to wrap up the investigation. When the big conference is over two days later, my association with the imperial family will also be completely over because they are going to record the official breakoff of my engagement with the emperor.

What would happen after that was obvious. Certainly there would be a fierce competition for empress candidates to grab his attention. If Duke Jenna is found to be the culprit, Jiun won’t be able to be the empress even if she has the legitimate cause as the child of God’s prophecy. If so, the woman who wins his heart would be most likely to become the empress. I could already easily imagine young ladies turning to all kinds of means and methods to win over his heart.
