Chapter 108: 108
Ch . 108 I’m Just Too Bored To Let It Go (2)
“If the crown prince wants Lady Blaise, let him . I think it would be more fun to give him what he wants and then take it away . ”
“Yes, my sister . ”
Despite his expectations, Ophelia had no intention to interfere with Carlisle’s wedding . On the contrary, she hoped that Carlisle would be happy on his wedding day, whoever he was with . That way it would be worth seeing the miserable, wretched expression on his face when that happiness is taken from him .
Ophelia stopped talking to Cesare and spoke towards a back room which there seemed to be no one .
“Are you doing what I asked you to do?”
“Yes, Mother . ”
From the darkness came the voice of the second prince, Redfield . Since childhood, Ophelia locked up in the back room for any wrongdoing and had him write down royal military tactics . It was the same as now . There was an incident and Redfield had a hard time keeping himself under control .
“I know you like your women, and while you say you cannot help it, you have to know how to control yourself before you become emperor . Don’t you know better than to force yourself on a young lady of a well-known family?”
“I’m sorry, Mother . It’s always more entertaining when a pretty face looks so defiant . I’ll be more careful from now on . ”
Ophelia clicked her tongue . This wasn’t the first time they had this conversation . Nevertheless, Redfield’s appetite for feminine charms had not been fixed . She used her influence to keep the rumors quiet, but it could be dangerous if this went on any longer . He especially had to be more careful now that Carlisle was back in the palace .
“I’m warning you, stay low for now . ”
Cesare stepped in .
“My dear sister, when a man is still young, it is inevitable that his eyes will turn towards a beautiful face . Please understand . ”
“What’s the hurry? If he becomes emperor, he’ll be able to take any woman he wants . But I cannot forgive another accident at this time . ”
In the end, Cesare shut his mouth in face of Ophelia’s unyielding attitude . Redfield didn’t care what the other two said . He could order his servants to make it look like he completed his punishment . It wasn’t the first time, and he knew how to get away from it by now . Currently, the second prince was instead curating a list of nobles to invite to his party .
The first name on that list was Elena Blaise . He stared at the name with one hand resting on his chain, and a cruel smile crossed his handsome face .
‘You’re going to marry my brother?’
Redfield amused himself with his imagination . While he heard everything Ophelia and Cesare said, his view of Carlisle’s marriage was a little different .
‘I don’t intend to oppose the marriage, but I’m just too bored to let it go . ’
After Elena and Mirabelle took breakfast in the palace, they returned to Blaise Mansion . Under Carlisle’s orders, the two sisters traveled in a colorful carriage decorated with pure gold, however, Mirabelle’s thoughts were turned towards Kuhn, and Elena was still furious that several men saw her sister’s body .
As they walked on the mansion pathway lost in their own thoughts, a figure came up to meet them .
“Why are you not excited after coming back from the Imperial Palace?”
Elena looked up at the familiar voice, and saw Derek with his customary stern look on his face . He looked as if he had been training near the garden, and his face and body were covered in sweat .
“Brother…”

Mirabelle’s spirits rose at seeing her older brother .
“Are you still training here, brother?”
“How can I neglect even one day of training when the sword fighting competition is near? I don’t like the look on your faces though . Did something happen at the palace?”
Elena and Mirabelle glanced at each other . Both of them were lost in their own thoughts and looking back, there was only silence and awkward smiles in the royal carriage . Mirabelle shook her head at Derek first .
“I had fun at the Palace . The Crown Prince was very nice to Elena . You’ll find out when you meet him . ”
“…Really?”
Derek had a doubtful expression on his face, but Mirabelle smiled back and continued .
“It would be quicker to just meet him than to say a hundred words . From his eyes, I can feel a lot of affection for her . ”
Elena forced a smile Mirabelle’s unexpected words . She really didn’t know if Carlisle looked at her like that, but the best thing to do was to go along with it .
Derek simply nodded his head .
“Yes . As you say, I will meet him later . ”
“…I wish I was looked at with that kind of affection . ”
Mirabelle murmured under her breath and Derek looked at her curiously .

“What?”
“N-nothing! I’ll go inside first . I’m tired from the long ride . ”
“Go get some rest . ”
“Yes . I enjoyed myself with you . Let’s spend time together again, even if it’s not in the Imperial Palace . ”
“Of course . ”
Elena gratefully patted Mirabelle on the head . Mirabelle was probably worried about Elena’s workload . Of course, Elena didn’t mean to forgive those who saw her sister’s body .
Mirabelle first entered the mansion, and Elena turned to Derek .
“I’m going to go inside too, brother . Don’t push yourself too hard and relax . ”
“Alright . See you for dinner later . ”
“Yes . ”
Elena followed her sister inside . Michael, the butler standing by the entrance, greeted her brightly .
“Welcome, My Lady . ”
“Is everything alright?”

“Yes, but I have many invitations for you, so please see to them later . ”
“Ah, I will . ”
He was holding dozens of envelopes in his hands, and she seemed to have caught him when he was arranging them .
Among them, however, a red invitation stood out . They usually came in plain white envelopes, but this one was elaborately designed . It must have been an expensive envelope that was not readily available on the market . Elena pointed towards it .
“Is that for me, too?”
“Oh, yes, My Lady . Would you like to see it now?”
“Yes, please . ”
She was suddenly curious to know what kind of invitation was made with such craftsmanship . Elena opened the envelope of the red invitation to confirm where it was sent from, but unexpectedly, she saw that it was marked with a dragon seal from the Imperial Household . She had just returned from the palace . She opened the envelope, wondering who else would invite her there .
“Ah…!”
Elena’s mouth fell open .
[Sullivan]
Carlisle’s father, Emperor of the Ruford Empire .
