CHAPTER 122 Philip didn't respond to my words and just kept rambling. "It's fortunate that we have Lady Elsner on our side. The Marquis hasn't been actively attacking us." But there was no sign of ease on Philip's face. Acting tough. He looks scared! Philip seemed to be thinking about something anxiously. Is he pondering a way to overcome this situation? When a person is cornered, you never know what they might do. I was confident in Lewis' victory, but I kept an eye on Philip while watching Lewis. Suddenly, Philip's expression changed, as if he had thought of something good. He asked Sir Schuster. "By the way, wasn't there a landslide warning issued in this area?" "Yes, it was issued recently due to heavy rains and is still in effect." "I see." Why is he suddenly talking about a landslide? Sensing my sharp gaze, Philip glanced at me and then approached Madden. And he said something that shocked Madden. "Don't...

CHAPTER 121 "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation." It was Philip's aide. "I have urgent news." Why would the aide? Philip, puzzled, stepped outside the drawing room, only to find that Madden had already arrived. But it didn't seem that the aide had called him to announce Madden's arrival. The aide's expression looked uneasy. "What is it?" "The Marquis of Bloomberg is rampaging through the palace!" Philip's face hardened. "The Marquis?" Could he have come to fetch Lady Elsner? "The test for the crown princess qualification hasn't ended yet. Why is the Marquis here?" "It might be because of magic!" Madden, who had been listening, spoke up. "Didn't we cast a spell using the remaining blood to hinder the Marquis' tracking?" Before the selected candidates arrived, Madden had cast a spell on the Empress's Palace for this very event. But why? "The spe...

CHAPTER 120 When the head maid returned after putting her to sleep, Philip intended to have his subordinates remove Selina's carriage. If the other ladies wondered about Selina's absence during the test, the head maid would say that she insisted on returning home and had no choice but to let her go. 'If word got out that she disappeared within the palace, it would cause a commotion...' The Empress spoke to Philip, who was lost in thought. "This is a proper Crown Princess test. When it ends, I will truly select the Crown Princess." "It's fine. We have to choose a Crown Princess eventually anyway, don't we?" It was a marriage that had to happen sooner or later, so he used it as a cover. He planned to focus on summoning demons after finishing the temple business, but wasn't Lewis interfering? Thinking about the humiliation he had suffered made him angry, but the thought of what was to come cheered him up. How anxious would Lewis be when the ...

CHAPTER 119 The palace knights were deployed in the hallway for safety, but their gazes... "It feels like I'm being watched!" I'm not a criminal, so what's with these subtle looks? Even the head maid's gaze was unusual, making me wonder if I had become a person of interest. Nevertheless, it was already the third day of the week. Just a little longer, and I'll be back at the Duke's mansion! Thinking of meeting Lewis again made me feel much better. As I thought of Lewis, I enthusiastically moved my brush, but then I felt a gaze. I looked up to see Philip watching me. When our eyes met, he smiled. Hmm... It must have been a coincidence. I awkwardly smiled back. Philip, who had been watching the ladies sitting in a circle, stood up and started walking around. It was as if he wanted to see how they were drawing. Then, he stopped next to me and observed my canvas. Why is he looking at my drawing? It's distracting! "Lady Elsner, your brush strokes ar...
