Chapter 23: 23
As if to exude the richness of Akshire, the champagne burst with an exquisite sound .
“Oh… . ”
As soon as Evelyn put her lips on the champagne, she spat out burning sensation . This was what freedom tastes like .
“Rebecca, this champagne is like a festival . ”
“I selected it carefully while I was waiting for you . ”
Rebecca laughed and took a glass of champagne . It wasn’t long before Evelyn’s pretty cheeks soon turned red .
The two women kept emptying their glasses even though no one asked each other .
“Come on, toast to Lady Daisy!”
“I don’t know who she is, but cheers!”
For a moment, Evelyn forgot the focus of their talk and fell in love with champagne’s exhilarating taste .
At first, there was a refreshing carbonated persimmon taste and a sweet fruity aroma . Then the bitterness vanished, making it truly delicious . Evelyn didn’t understand why she forgot about this good thing .
“Lady Daisy is the brave lady who sat next to Lady Satine and Countess Hernia and told it all . ”
Come and think about it, they were the main point of this story . The two had been her mortal enemies ever since Evelyn had lived in the imperial family . Evelyn was single-one-sidedly humiliated by them and was unable to fight back . So their rivalry was extremely unfair .
“By the way, it’s just the two of them?”
“It was supposed to be an ugly trio but sadly the other one was sick . ”
After hearing what Rebecca had said, Evelyn nearly threw up the champagne . But even though her heart was racing, she tried to look calm .
“So, the ugly trio of the Empire . ”
Evelyn was thrilled every time Rebecca spoke . It seemed that her resentment was blown away .
“It seemed like they were still trying to make fun of us as usual but the atmosphere that day …… you were the main character, yeah… . until the Wyvern appeared . ”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, I heard it clearly . Lady Daisy said their ugly faces turned black when everyone praised your beauty, and they even said that the Emperor would be sorry . It must have been more difficult for them to speak ill-gossip!”
“Oh, my . That’s a little too much . ”
Evelyn said so, but the corner of her lips went up .
“Their hand holding the fan, shook!”
“Oh, did they still carry the ugly blue feather hand-fan?”
“Why not? There are even rumors that the main part of the body of Marchioness Satine is that blue hand fan . ”
Pum, she sure spat out the champagne this time . Before Evelyn even felt embarrassed, Rebecca was overjoyed and started talking again .
“Lady Daisy saw that her hands were not only shaking, but her eyes were twitching . She muttered until the end, and kept saying, ‘Isn’t she divorced?’”
“Ah, I should have seen it . ”

“I also regret that . ”
Rebecca and Evelyn were one heart and one mind at this moment .
“So! I’ve decided to hold a special ball hosted by the Duke of Akshire . Of course, we should invite that ugly trio too . ”
“Would they come here?”
“I’m going to throw a party that everyone can’t help but come . Princess, don’t you know me?
Indeed, Rebecca was very convincing about things like this .
Akshire was one of the most respected and influential families, and Rebecca was also the top social star . The divorce didn’t hurt Rebecca at all . Instead, It gave Rebecca wings to fly freely .
“There are rumors that Lady Satine’s husband has an affair with an opera singer, and Countess Hernia’s son is deaf and still can’t write . How nice is it to be the main character in the social circle they love?”
“Ah, I should have seen it,” Evelyn kept on making the same reply .
The funny thing was, they felt so shabby and worthless now . Their eyes watched Evelyn’s every step . As they always did at every imperial party, tea time, even while watching the orchestra, they were still looking forward to the moment Evelyn made a mistake .
“It’s like turning a light on and trying to find a little stain on someone else’s shirt, and what are they going to do?”
“I can’t give up my society’s life, so I’m going to take a special seat and watch it myself . ”
It was definitely worth holding a ball .
“You’re coming too, aren’t you?”

“Of course!”
Evelyn was so happy to have a friend like Rebecca, she didn’t know how excited she was .
“That’s what people call me, a mad-tempered pony who got divorced . ”
“I’m not surprised if people say that . I told them that I had to walk on my own feet because I didn’t fit into the Imperial Family . ”
The fighting spirit of the two women burned silently .
“I look forward to seeing how the noble wives who keep their high-profile marriage look at us . ”
“Me too . I’ll be there, no matter what . ”
“Of course . Princess, do you know that?”
Evelyn opened her eyes wide .
“Everyone was busy running away during the Wyvern raid, so they had a bad experience . The blue hand-fan fell to the ground and was trampled on like a quill . ”
“Ah…”
Lady Satine always looked so graceful, always boasted about it, and often insulted everything that Evelyn had done .
“I should have seen it!” Evelyn shouted out happily and gulped down the champagne .
“Don’t worry, I’m going to ban the hand-fan from the ball . ”
“Really?” Evelyn looked at Rebecca as a hero with her sparkling eyes .

“Yeah, I’m a woman who does what I do . ” Rebecca said so arrogantly, but she was confident .
“I believe you, too, I have no doubt about that . ”
“And I wasn’t divorced, but I voluntarily requested a divorce!”
“So am I!”
Evelyn and Rebecca, these two women, had a strong bond of sympathy .
“The damn ex-husband . Would he know if I shaved my head right away?”
“When I was an Empress, my ex-husband wouldn’t know even if I had an affair with someone else . ”
“I’m really sick of it, those guys!”
Evelyn nodded with strong approval . She didn’t know why she kept everything to herself when talking about it turned out to be so refreshing .
“I, even the Emperor has taken over our royal palace . That’s why I came all the way here . ”
“He’s really, really, really shameless . ”
“What’s more ridiculous is, he called me . ”
“What?”
This time, Rebecca’s eyes were getting bigger . Evelyn drank champagne like a sushi bar and let down her glass .
