TCIWTFY - Chapter 81

Unlike the rude 4th Princess, the Valdina people only then hid their uncomfortable expressions at the noble words that praised Valdina.

'The Grand Duke recognizes our country like this. As expected, the Emperor's lineage is different.'

There was also an increase in the evaluation of 'Grand Duke Castullo', who was removed from the throne due to an unfortunate fate.

Kensington also sent a look of gratitude to the Archduke for lightening the mood.

"When I look at it I feel comfortable and even moved..."

Medea snorted.

This is because it was clear that Jason had the intention of striking as if he had been waiting here.

'Jason, do you want to use my country?'

Then you too will have to pay a fair price this time.

"Grand Duke Castullo, I have heard of the brave actions of your father, the late Emperor."

A sonorous voice rang out among the Valdina people.

"Your father used to visit our Valdina often."

Medea's words made people think.

His father, Alcetas II, once invaded and trampled the soil of Valdina.

No matter how good the Grand Duke in front of her said to Valdina, the fact that he was the son of Alcetas II did not change.

"You probably heard the Archduke's high opinion of Valdina from your father, right? I am just grateful for your generous words."

The air suddenly became cold.

As if they had never been friendly, the nobles turned their heads and ignored the Archduke of Katzen.

"..."

Jason was speechless for a moment.

'For what reason do you attack me as soon as you see me?'

Jason's plan to make a good impression on the Valdinians came to nothing.

Rather than being liked, it was fortunate that he didn't arouse even more antipathy than the 4th Princess.

A few words from that veiled woman.

The woman who silently attacked him was wearing a black veil, so her face could not be properly recognized. Her outfit was also simple.

She did not appear to be a great nobleman or royal family.

Jason barely managed to avoid frowning and smiled.

"What would be the meaning of talking about the past when we gathered to promote peace on the continent?"

The 4th Princess also raised her voice as if she had caught the pod.

"Who on earth are you, that you dare interfere in the dialogue between countries? Open the veil and show me."

Command tone.

The Valdina people were offended. Why is the Princess of Katzen telling us this and that?

They grew tired of the Princess's arrogant attitude and none of them voluntarily revealed Medea's identity.

"Haven't Her Royal Highness asked-"

Thanks to this, it was time for the regent, who was in a good mood, to turn towards Medea.

"As you said, this is an official place to exchange ambassadors between the two countries. Even the emperor of Katzen cannot force Valdina to act."

A clear and pure voice rang out beneath the veil.

"Does the Fourth Princess really want to surpass her father's dignity?"

The Princess's face froze. She hurriedly looked at the envoy's thoughts.

No matter how dear the Emperor was to his son, he became ruthlessly cold when it came to imperial power. If this matter comes to her father's ears later, he will be wary of her as well.

The position of her mother, who competes with other empresses at all times, maybe in jeopardy. She bit her lip.

She couldn't put more pressure on that strange woman who was talking about the Emperor, and she couldn't just let it go.

When the 4th Princess's situation became difficult, Count Raju came forward and scolded the veiled woman.

"How dare you insult the loyalty of our Princess. His Majesty, to His Majesty, even if it means two lives!"

Raju was planning to win the Princess's heart at this point.

"What are you doing, not dragging her to her knees!"

Sissair, who was watching the arrogant imperial people with his arms crossed, frowned.

"Oh, Count Raju, it is you. How does it feel to return to your home country after such a long time? We all welcome you."

Sissair deliberately spread his arms in front of Raju as if welcoming a friend, adding fuel to the anger of the Valdina people.

At Sissair's words, the 4th Princess looked back at Raju as if she had forgotten.

She remembered that Count Raju, who had come forward to protect her, was originally a Valdina, but fell into the eyes of the Emperor and became a naturalized member of the Empire.

'That's why the Emperor doesn't use that guy highly either. Is this dirty guy trying to win my favor?"

Do I look so vain that a hybrid from a small country like this would step forward?

"You shut up!"

The Princess slapped Raju in the face. Count Raju, who was struck by his foolishness, could not understand why the Princess was angry.

While Count Raju was dazed, the 4th Princess screamed again.

"I heard all Valdina people are this rude? What does it mean to hide your face when you come out to greet a delegation?"

The Princess, who was feeling well, huffed.

"Count Kensington, bring that girl to me and kneel down. I need to show her the majesty of my great empire."

"Your Highness."

It was time for Kensington to sigh.

"Please show courtesy to the 4th Princess."

A white hand reached out and removed the veil itself. Her black veil disappeared, revealing her girlish face.

The girl's upright posture gave off a subtle energy and unwavering elegance. Her fine facial features were neat and clear, and her vivid green eyes were calm.

"This is Her Highness Medea, the Princess of Valdina and His Majesty the King's only sister."

When only the voice of Sissair introducing her rang out, the Katzen people could be heard holding their breath.

That girl is a Princess?

They also knew very well about the idiot Princess of Valdina.

A puppet Princess who is being used here and there in the palace when the King is away due to war.

They were speechless at the sight of the Princess, who was completely different from the stories they had heard.

The 4th Princess also stopped as if frozen.

'Why is the girl who had a big fight yesterday here...'

While everyone was holding their breath and swallowing their surprise, a sonorous voice was heard.

"Don't worry, 4th Princess. You have already shown yourself the majesty of the great empire you wanted."

The Valdina people felt relieved by the Princess's calm criticism, and the Katzen people felt ashamed.

"..."

The 4th Princess's face brightened.

'Um, that girl...'

In addition to pointing out that they were arrogantly calling themselves a powerful nation, it was clear that they were subtly threatening her by pointing out her behavior yesterday.

No matter how powerful the Katzen Empire is, if it is revealed that they attempted to harm innocent Valdinian or the people at an official event like this, not only the 4th Princess herself but also the Katzen delegation cannot avoid trouble.

'You're not planning on bringing that up here, are you?'

However, no matter how much she was, she could not openly kneel down to Valdina, the King's own sister.

The 4th Princess chewed her lips and couldn't act any more viciously, so she just glared at Medea.

"Her Majesty the Princess is tired from her travels, so we ask the distinguished guests of Valdina for their understanding."

As soon as the delegation arrived, the Count of Kensington sighed and stepped forward at the sight of the despicable appearance.

Neither General Jared, who is behind his back nor the Grand Duke, who is watching, seem to have any intention of smoothing over this situation.

"Anyway, I know you've been very busy preparing for today's meeting. I completely understand."

When Medea pointed it out again, even the smile disappeared from the 4th Princess's face.

"Since Her Majesty the Princess understands generously, I can only accept it."

Kensington greeted Medea instead. The two eyes met.

'We finally met, Kensington.'

'Is this girl 'the' Princess? She really isn't that easy.'

Fortunately, the atmosphere, which was as sharp as thin ice, was resolved safely.

However, it was clear that it was far from the overwhelming momentum that the Katzen delegation had hoped for.
