Despite her confident words, Emilia looked helpless as she entered the bathroom.
“…How do I take this out?”
Despite her bold statement, Emilia felt perplexed about how to reach in and retrieve the handkerchief from within. After undressing and entering the bathroom, she took a deep breath as she felt the unfamiliar sensation between her legs.
Even though something that large had gone in, her small finger seemed to struggle. Emilia took a determined breath, immersed her body slowly into the bathtub, spread her legs, and gradually pushed her fingers into the wet folds.
“Hoo…”
She exhaled slowly to release tension. Trying to relax her legs and grasp the end of the handkerchief inside became a challenge. Thanks to the neatly rolled handkerchief, her hand kept missing it.
“Ah…!”
Instead, it seemed to go even deeper, making her anxious. She needed to get in and withdraw it deeply at once. Emilia leaned against the bathtub and knelt down.
After slowly inserting two fingers deep inside, she tightly gripped the damp handkerchief. A moan escaped her lips along with the smoothly extracted handkerchief.
“Haa…”
A liquid that hadn’t completely dried within her body trickled out. The tension that had deeply penetrated her entire body was released, leaving her weak.
As she submerged herself deeply in the bathtub, she closed her eyes. At this moment, the red eyes that had once observed her body came to mind.
“Even though he didn’t seem close to his sister, was he really so familiar as to touch her hair?”
They looked alike, but there seemed to be an uncomfortable barrier between the two.
If I dig a little deeper, I might find something.
The reason she was not allowed to get close to Dahlia, and her only staying in the mansion, were strange. Moreover, it seemed like others knew nothing about the Duke’s family.
He must be hiding something.
Perhaps that could be the Duke’s weakness.
Emilia washed her face and brushed aside her red hair. For now, she needed to find a way not to have a child. At this rate, she might really end up having a child. If she could go out alone, she might have a chance to obtain contraception pills.
It’s frustrating.
Her mind was a mess.

“Are you going to start working right away?”
“Baron Vincent seems to be starting something interesting.”
“I heard about it. Documents were sent to the mansion, so I’ve placed them on the desk.”
“I’ll check it later.”
He unbuttoned his sleeves and ran his hand through his hair. In fact, doing it in someone else’s house was not his preference, so today’s actions were somewhat impulsive.
After washing up, Mikhail, in a loose shirt, leaned back on the sofa with his wet hair dripping. He didn’t care about the water droplets falling from his wet hair. He closed his eyes and exhaled a hazy puff of smoke after setting fire to the cigar.
“Is your mind complicated?”
“Is there anything complicated? The party went well. I just might end up in the newspapers tomorrow.”
“….Shall I prepare for it?”
“It’s not that big of a deal, so don’t overreact.”
“Just in case, I’ll prepare countermeasures. Can I ask what happened?”
Mikhail, with the cigar between his fingers, looked at Kartho.
“I made sure no one entered the lounge.”
“Are you talking about someone else’s mansion?”
He nodded. Kartho’s face turned pale, and his mouth seemed dry as if it was parched.
“Oh my. Your Grace.”
It seems like another nag is coming. Mikhail made a somber expression again and closed his eyes.
“It’s common at social events, especially since we are a married couple.”
“….I’ll contact the newspaper.”
Seeing him exhale a long sigh, it was evident that his actions were indeed impulsive.
“Your Grace, the recent political trends in the parliament faction are alarming. Shouldn’t Lady Dahlia be informed?”
“Leave it. It’s her last dream.”
“But…”
“If I tell her that the monarchy is about to collapse, and the life we had before will never return, she won’t stay quiet here.”
She was anxious as she couldn’t step forward even now. She still believed she was Bayern’s princess, and people were waiting for the return of the old royal family.
The child believed that the fallen royal family, achieved through rebellion, was nothing more than an illusion without honor or loyalty.
“When the monarchy collapses, her world will collapse with it.”
“Moreover, there’s a significant backlash from the parliament faction regarding this incident.”
“So, we should use that. I don’t want to see the Jalliar royal family continue to sit there.”
He had no desire to become a king. However, he didn’t want to put Dahlia in that position either.
The throne was a blood-stained place, and whoever sat on it had to face endless conflicts. They will live a completely different life than what they have ever lived, and they will have to shoulder a lot of things.
“I think it’s time to stop playing princess.”
A thick smoke scattered through his lips.
