It was rare for Kanna to appear at official events. So she thought she wouldn't come even if she was curious. And Lilienne was a very quick-witted woman.
"Is it an illusion? I felt like you was calling me from earlier."
"Did I?"
"Don't pretend."
Lilienne closed her eyes and smiled seductively.
"If you had been a man, I would have thought you was seducing me. You was that blatant."
Yes, it was. Kanna didn't bother hiding it.
"Yes, that's right. I really wanted to meet Your Highness."
"Why?"
The corners of Lilienne's mouth went up.
"Why did the Lady who took away what I wanted wanted to meet me?"
She gently waver her wide-open fan and looked Kanna up and down.
"As an advice in advance, I don't like to spin around. So if you have business, tell me directly."
Then, Kanna pretended to be sad and let her shoulders droop.
"I'm sure you already know about the neglect I suffered from my husband."
She knew. Lilienne smiled. Who doesn't know that Sylvienne treats his wife like weed?
However, Lilienne has refined herself a little more gracefully.
"I know at least that the relationship between the Duke and Duchess of Valentiono is estranged."
"And Her Highness, the Princess, must know very well that Duke Sylvienne is someone who will never change."
"I know. Wasn't it his charm that he didn't change easily?"
It's not. Kanna really wanted to stop her.
'His personality is completely different, but what is his charm?
Why does she like such trashy man? However, Kanna took a deep breath and performed passionately.
"I will be honest. I am tired of his coldness. Yes, I am tires, Your Highness."
"...Is that so?"
"Yes. So now I'm back at my parent's house."
Sure enough, Lilienne seemed ti be completely focused on Kanna's words.
"Divorce is not easy for an aristocratic woman. It's about family honor. That's why my father wouldn't allow it either. But..."
Gulp.
Kanna heard Lilienne swallow her saliva.
Eyes shining brightly as if invited to a delicious dinner. Kanna gently waved her bait in front of her,
"But if a situation arises in which the marriage cannot sustained... The story will be different."
For example, Sylviesn is having an affair with another woman. Or, if the Princess kept putting on Alessandro, her father could give permission for a divorce even if it was annoying. So the conclusion,
'Let's be friends with me!'
It was a proposal to became one side and run toward divorce. It's hard to do it alone, but it's possible if Kanna making a plan with the Princess.
After a while, Lilienne opened her mouth.
"Are you asking me to believe that, Ma'am?"
She said that, but it was a pretty shaky look. If she whisper a little more, it must be clear that it will over.
When trying to bring out a quick addition.
"Your Highness, what are you talking about?"
A voice interfering. Hearing that voice, Kanna swallow the moan that came out involuntaruly.
Josephine Aleister - That damn mother on law has appeared!
Unlike Kanna, however, Lilienne welcomed Josephine.
"It was an interesting conversation, Countess Aleister. Now the Duchess Valentino say she is staying with Addis family."
"Yes that's right. I kicked her our."
"... The Countess kicked her out?"
Lilienne narrow her brows. And immediately, she looked at Kanna with a look that seemed to ask what had happened.
Then Josephine burst into laughter and whispered.
"Yes. Seeing that she's not coming back, it looks like she's trying a new ways to get Syvien's attention. Her Highness, The Princess, doesn't have to worry about it."
For a moment, Lilienne felt as if she had awakened from hypnosis. When she was alone with Kanna, she felt like she was possesses for a moment, but when she talk to Josephine, she felt a real sense of reality.
'Okay... That's right. There's no way that woman wants a divorce, right?'
It's a very natural thing. Why does she hesitate far a while?
'Of course it can't be.'
Not too long ago, she heard the rumor that Kanna was clung to Sylvien's crotch and howled. It had already spread through the mouths of the employees. That such woman suddenly wants a divorce?
Besides, if she really wanted to get a divorce, she wouldn't do anything tpo show off her looks.
'A almost got played by Kanna Valentino."
Josephine is right. She must have been thinking of trying a new way, using herself to get attention.
'Using me?'
That fact swept through Lilienne's pride.
"You have a big heart, Duchess Valentino. Did I look that funny?"
"You misunderstand, Your Highness."
"Misunderstanding?"
The corners of Lilienne's mouth twitched. She snatched the champagne from Kanna's hand, and splash! She poured tt all over the hem of Kanna's dress.
"...!"
The nobles who were secretly watching held their breath. In an instant, the atmosphere froze like thin ice.
"Don't get me wrong, Duchess. It's my mistake."
Naturally, Lilienne thought that Kanna would cry. Since she suffered such humiliation, of course she would shed her tears again. However,
"It that so."
Kanna raised her head and smiled broadly.
"You made a mistake, Your Highness. It looks like your hand slipped."
The plan to capture Lilienne failed. Kanna quickly gave up on her. Of course, if we have a proper conversation without any interruption. She is too confident that she will win the Princess heart.
Kanna don't want to do that now. She's not desperate enough to have to cater to a woman like this. There are many ways to get a divorce.
Lilienne burst into laughter.
"A mistake? Did you really think so, Duchess?"
"Your Highness said so, so that must be true."
"Then what about this?"
Lilienne raised a champagne glass over Kanna's head this time. Kanna reflexively grabbed the hem of her dress.
Kanana didn't think that she's going to pour it over her head.
"Why are you making such a fuss?"
At that time, Lilienne quickly lowered her hand.
A woman with a solemn expression approached. Liliene and even Josephine were surprised by her appearance and bower down to her.
"Meet Her Majesty!"
"I askes what the fuss was about."
Looking at the question, it seemed that everyone had already watched it. Even poring champagne on Kanna's skirt and trying to pour it on her head.
'Ah, is this a chance?'
The, she can't miss it. Kanna groaned and lowered her head.
"Because I'm black. I'm sorry, I'm not good enough."
Lilienne's mouth dropped open as she watched.
'Is she crying? Suddenly? Even though she was calm and selfless until just a moment ago?'
"Oh! Uh! Can't you hold back your tears? How dare you say that!"
"Countess Aleister, lower your voice!"
The empress wrapped her arms around the shoulder of Kanna who was sobbing, and patted her.
"It's okay. How sad would it have been?"
For a moment, Kanna was taken aback.
Folks, she is the victim! She was acting like she was shouting, but she didn't know that she would take care of herself like this.
Yes, let's do it properly. Kanna even trembled on her shoulders and added spur the her acting.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. From now on, I will never do anything against Your Majesty's will..."
Lilienne's face, who had been watching blankly, turned red. Such hateful tears!
"Princess Lilienne, I'm really disappointed. How long are you going to be like that?"
"...I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
But there was nothing to say. What would she say if she were caught trying to pour champagne on someone's head?
Lilienne was about to apologize and end it, but The Empress had no intention of ending it here.
"Try to imitate your older sister. I mean, think about following at least half of First Princess's soft and warm personality!"
She knew it would be like this!
Lilienne bit her lip and bowed her head.
