There is no specific information yet on exactly what Baron Gavin did.

However, there are not many people who do not know that the Baron of Vienna was sponsored by Count Hoover. In the first place, factions exist to show off.

Therefore, it would have been unpleasant for Count Hoover to pick on a man who would become the crown prince of another country and who was always empty-handed.

But, what if no? What can you do?

If you help Writer Nam in this situation, later, when something comes out of Writer Nam, it can become circumstantial evidence that Writer Huber helped Writer Nam because of it.

However, it is even more suspicious that the Baron suddenly dies or goes missing at this point.

As a result, the number that Count Hoover was able to use was —

“The engagement date has been announced.”

Amelia said that with a serious expression.

“The engagement is in a week. You don’t get married right after the engagement, but once you get engaged, neither the king nor the count can easily marry you.”

“I understand why Count Huber wanted to make an engagement, but how was it possible for the royal family to accept it?”

“First of all, the suspicion of working with the Empire is not clear. Perhaps after the two families are succeeded, Baron Gavin will be completely abandoned. The kingdom will also try to erase Baron Gavin somehow.”

Right now, we don’t know exactly what Baron Gavin did.

The story about the poison was spread quite widely, but the poison was manufactured in complete secrecy and used only in a very limited way. This is information that cannot be known unless you are Amelia, who has read the novel.

“Right now, you don’t even know about the existence of the suspicion, so you might think there is a benefit to the engagement. Even in the kingdom, Count Huber is someone you don’t want to abandon. If it continues like that, it won’t be easy for him to betray you.”

Adele bit her lip at Amelia’s explanation.

“Although it is called an engagement, it is not something that can be easily broken off. Because it is premised on marriage in the first place. After the engagement ceremony, we will go straight into marriage preparations. And from then on, if we kidnap Diane, we have kidnapped the next queen. It will happen. No matter how long it takes, the kingdom will come after us. In the worst case, the country may be divided.”

Amelia spoke seriously. It had been a peaceful time for a long time, but the kingdom was once again entering a period of war.

None of the three here wanted that. Even if the Archduke and Delkisi were capable of fighting that war.

Above all, it is our fault for doing such a thing in the first place, so our family will probably try to abandon us.

“So, what we have to do is break up before the engagement. There is only one way.”

Amelia leaned slightly toward us and spoke quietly, lowering her voice as much as possible, as if someone was listening.

“What would you do if the woman ran away before getting engaged?”

“… … .”

Adele and I both looked at Amelia in silence for a while.

“Amelia, are you okay?”

I was the first to open my mouth.

“What does that mean?”

“I think it’s a good thing that Adele and Diane are connected. They like each other. But, if we get caught doing something like that, then Amelia might lose everything she has.”

As I explained step by step, this time Amelia looked at me.

“Then what about Elsie? She doesn’t want to do that? In fact, didn’t she make up her mind the moment she heard the story?”

“… … .”

hmm.

I had nothing to say about that either.

To be honest, I thought that was the only way, and I was planning on actually doing it.

I was the one who lost my temper and stormed into the royal palace. There was no reason why I couldn’t attack him just because he was Count Hoover.

“… … There is no need for either of you to do that for me.”

“What does that mean?”

At Adele’s words, Amelia frowned and turned her head.

I had the same expression.

When the two of us looked at each other like that, Adele shook her shoulders and looked surprised, but still said what she wanted to say.

“This matter only involves Jesus and Diane. I will try to do something on my own. I have no intention of giving up, but if you have to lose everything because of us—”

Adele’s words were interrupted by Amelia’s raised hand.

“Let’s examine the context accurately.”

Amelia said.

“First of all, the reason why the two people became connected is because they bickered and fought every day. I don’t know if it was because of their family while fighting, or if there was some other change in their feelings. However, one thing is certain, the two people fought like that. The reason why they were able to do so was because the two people learned swordsmanship from the same person.”

“That’s right.”

It’s right.

“If Adele hadn’t talked to me on the first day she met me, if she hadn’t called me out for tea after hearing my name, we wouldn’t have given her an invitation, and Adele wouldn’t have been able to attend the ball.◦# ◦

After saying that, I glanced back at Amelia. We both made eye contact and then looked at Adele at the same time.

In fact, if we hadn’t invited Adele that day, Adele would have caught the crown prince’s eye, and after that, she would have caught the eye of many men and become someone many people admire.

There must have been a lot of enemies, but most of them would have been dealt with by men.

Of course, we left that story out.

Even if I explain it to you anyway, you won’t understand.

“So, it means that the love between two people is also our responsibility.”

“More than anything, the two of us are not cold enough to just abandon our friend.”

Amelia finished my sentence.

“… … Thank you, everyone.”

Adele said with tears in her eyes.

“Oh, and I have no intention of giving up all my rights.”

And then he said to Adele as if Amelia had suddenly occurred to him.

“ Coincidentally, my close friend sitting next to me is very close to the two men who sit in the highest positions in the country.”

“… … .”

Amelia’s eyes seemed to shine a little sharply when she said that, but I decided to pretend not to see it for now.

“And it’s not just that we’re friendly, we’re close enough to have some human interaction.”

is it?

I’m not sure about that, but—

“So, Elsie. Could you please write a letter to the crown prince?”

“If it’s just one letter… … .”

“Like, the content is—”

Amelia sang the contents.

And while listening to that, Adele’s and I’s faces turned bright blue.

No, you said that when I broke into the palace, and now you’re asking me to write that letter?

I will write, but… … .

Is this okay?

*

Crown Prince.

I heard that Diane and I have an engagement date set.

I know that the Crown Prince has no right to refuse it, but if he really agrees to the engagement and ends up marrying Diane, we won’t stand still.

Please think seriously about what I told you during my last visit.

This is not a bad story for the crown prince to hear.

If you have a chance to speak with the Crown Prince in the future, ask him about this incident and you will learn why we are acting like this.

And can I ask you a favor?

Before the Crown Prince and Diane get engaged, please visit Count Hoover.

And please announce the visit date so that we can easily understand.

I will help the Crown Prince so that his reputation is not tarnished by directly rejecting the engagement.

From one of the prince’s few confidant friends.

“Fuha… … !”

Suddenly, in the middle of the night, an owl knocked on the window. He opened the door and read the contents of the letter the owl suddenly handed him, and the Crown Prince burst out laughing.

Of course, every word written in this letter was sincere, but no matter how many times I read it, the content of the letter itself was extremely absurd.

“Hmm.”

A friend I can open up to.

Of course, I had no choice but to reveal my feelings in front of that woman. She was a woman who created such situations when we were together.

“Nature doesn’t lie, right?”

After muttering the family motto that suddenly occurred to him, the prince brought the letter to a candle and lit it.

After lighting it so that no one could read it, I put it in the ashes of the fireplace and sat down again to think.

“… … Definitely.”

The Hooverback family was a family that had to be cut off at some point.

Until now, he had openly supported the second-eldest crown prince, but he was not unaware of his purpose: to somehow manipulate the crown prince behind the scenes.

Usually, ‘cutting it off’ wasn’t easy.

Since there is someone who is so proactive, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to be taken advantage of at least once.

The crown prince once again recalled the contents of the letter he had read a while ago and laughed as if it were absurd.
