Regressor Instruction Manual

Untitled Part 49

Though I was laughing now, I would not see her for a few days afterwards.

If Duchess Catherine, Count Elise, and the Count of Castle Rock began to protest formally against the Emperor, the Emperor's position was bound to punish her.

Right now, everything would be the way she was thinking, but in less than three days, she would realize that something had gone wrong.

Of course, my expectations had never been wrong.

The enraged Count Castle Rock knocked on the imperial city's gates right before the next morning, got in a conversation with the Emperor, and remained locked out for hours.

He thought he couldn't have neglected it even as an Emperor because she didn't mess with a sub-noble that didn't have anything, but this was the Count of Castle Rock, who had fought hard for the imperial family.

This was a situation that he couldn't ignore, even though this was a sub-noble in the first place.

Still, as the Emperor was in a desperate situation that he had made the Eight Seats of the Empire strengthen his imperial power, he would have no choice but to accept Count Castle Rock's protests sensitively.

I couldn't hear what they talked about, but eventually, the Emperor ordered Charlia to be detained in her room.

Of course, the rooted evils side also took showmanship, such as apologizing to Marlin Young-ae. Still, it was impossible that Charlotte would do nothing during this situation.

Like a fish in water, she shook public opinion, proving how useless the legitimacy was.

Perhaps because of the last resistance of the rooted evils, Princess Charlia was allowed to meet with a minimum of people during her custody, which was not very pleasant news that I was included.

She had personally mentioned my name.

My position was a little more embarrassing because this was the time when I also instructed the Eastern aristocrats, including Duchess Catherine, to distance themselves from Charlia.

It didn't matter if I distanced myself from other people, but because they were the ones that I could say were my most valuable contacts.

It seemed that they understood my political position, perhaps because I'd been good to them, but I thought it would have been hard for them to look only positively at me even if I were in their shoes.

The atmosphere changed afterwards.

Stocks, which had been rising well, suddenly plummeted.

"Have you heard the story? The Count Castle Rock's Marlin Young-ae..."

"Oh. Of course, I heard. Princess Charlia poured the boiling tea on her face as it was... Are the rumors true?"

"Yes. I happened to see the Honorary Bishop running while holding Marlin Young-ae. At first, I wondered what was going on because I could not see in detail through the window. I didn't even dream that that would have happened."

"They said that if Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung weren't there at the same time, she would have almost lost her sight. If he had gotten there a little later..."

"It's hard to imagine. Count Castle Rock must be very upset."

The noble ladies talked about this day and night, and the powerful noblemen also exchanged their opinions on the incident.

"Tsk. It doesn't matter if she has the royal family's blood. My common sense doesn't really understand how she could do that to the Count, who has protected Castle Rock silently for the royal family."
