Chapter 17.1

The Emperor knew that Leilia had no luxurious clothes and jewelry because when she moved into the mansion after her marriage, Cowell and Shuella had taken away all of her fancy jewelry and clothes. So, she deliberately sent items like that to discredit her at the ceremony.

It felt as if he was indirectly implying that she was unworthy of being by Cassel’s side.

And Leilia knew that as well.

“His Highness Cassel will choose another woman.”

…A woman of higher prestige and beauty would deem more suitable, someone who could serve the imperial family. It was a predetermined path, considering that war heroes in history often took on new wives. Thus, Aaron regarded Leilia with disdainful eyes, looking down upon her.

“Let’s see how long she can last.”

How bothersome.

It seemed like he would have to prepare something before that.

Several days passed, and it was the day of the triumphant return ceremony.

Leilia was helped by Seychelle.

“Are you going to wear the things that were given by the imperial family?”

“I’m not going to wear that.”

As she laughed and opened the drawer, in the drawer was a blue diamond necklace. Seychelle’s eyes widened at the sight of it.

“Open the dressing room.”

At those words, as she opened the dressing room door with trembling hands, there was a colorful dress nestled inside.

“Where did it come from?”

Seychelle asked with a bright face.

“My uncle prepared it for me.”

“He’s such a gracious person.”

She was sincerely relieved as she dressed up Leilia.

“With what expression will the Emperor look at me?”

“No matter what anyone says, His Highness Cassel’s wife is the Madam.”

In the first place, Seychelle was someone who rarely expressed her intentions. Seeing her like this, Leilia couldn’t help but chuckle a little at her words.

‘I don’t want to lose to anyone.’

There were many people who wanted to get their hands on this blue diamond. It had just fetched the highest price ever at auction, so it was sure to be recognized.

She then placed a blue diamond necklace around Leilia’s neck.

“It’s a really beautiful necklace.”

Even Seychelle, who was usually quiet, had a gentle look on her face as if she was in a good mood.

“Right?”

Leilia’s reflection in the mirror brought a satisfied smile to her lips. Adorning her neck were jewels that sparkled with brilliant radiance, while her white dress hugged her waist with intricate embroidery adorning the hem. In addition, she let her long brown hair cascade down and applied makeup to accentuate her features.

With this, she appeared a little more beautiful.

As spring approached, the sunlight grew stronger, prompting her to remember the need for a parasol. She made sure to prepare a fancy parasol to complement her ensemble.

“I’ve also prepared a bouquet for him.”

As she reached out, Seychelle placed the bouquet in her hand. Breathing in the fragrant scent, Leilia’s smile grew wider. The flowers in the bouquet had been enchanted, ensuring they would stay fresh and vibrant for an entire week.

“It’s truly beautiful.”

Eventually, laughter filled the air as they made their way downstairs.

Aaron and the servants, who were secretly anticipating her shabby appearance, were surprised when they saw her. They hadn’t expected her to dress up so splendidly. With everyone amazed, Leilia gracefully boarded the carriage, ready to join the procession.

˚ ·: * ✧ * :· ˚

The procession culminated at the eastern gate of the imperial palace, symbolizing the Emperor’s official acknowledgment of Cassel as a true prince. Only emperors and princes were granted access through this prestigious entrance.

A gathering of people formed in groups of three near the palace’s eastern gate, where seating arrangements had been made for them to comfortably wait and witness the procession.

Leshulean, who was seated in the front row, wore a satisfied expression as he cast his gaze toward the center seat.

There, Carania sat gracefully, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands.

Carania, renowned as the empire’s most beautiful woman, had garnered even more attention since Alesha, the Eloisa family’s second daughter, became engaged. With her noble lineage and the influential standing of her viscount family, they were strong supporters of Prince Lisseltz, the likely contender for the crown prince position.

Having an interest in Cassel, she gladly accepted the Emperor’s request to present him with a bouquet during the ceremony.

Her golden tresses danced in the wind, drawing attention to the dazzling necklace and dress personally bestowed upon her by the Emperor. The emerald jewels perfectly accentuated her mesmerizing emerald green eyes, sparkling with radiance.

Everyone admired her in awe.

“This is really too much.”

However, not everyone was impressed. A man with neatly tied black hair spoke calmly as if he didn’t approve of the situation.

“Thank you for saying that, Teyrn.”

Alesha responded, gripping Teyrn’s hand tightly.

Teyrn Hosel, the Duke of Hosel and Alesha’s fiancé, was someone who didn’t fully agree with the Emperor’s decision.

In the planned procession, Cassel’s wife was meant to sit beside the Emperor and present him with a bouquet of flowers. Yet, another woman had taken that position, casting doubt and raising eyebrows among those who observed the scene. In addition, Carania’s outfit was so dazzling.

“Perhaps His Highness’s wife received shabby clothes again.”

Aresha’s eyes welled up with tears at her fiancé.’s words.

“…Really.”

Why did her sister have to suffer so much?

She was heartbroken.

“That carriage is the emblem of the imperial family.”

“I think my sister has arrived.”
