Chapter 11
“Indeed . He offered his entire fortune in exchange for his daughter’s life . ”
“The Viscount’s entire fortune… it wouldn’t be a bad idea to find out how much it’s worth . ”
“It’s not a good idea to reverse an order once you’ve issued it,” Petra reprimanded him . Gaius rolled his eyes .
“Don’t be so cold…”
“Look who’s talking . You were the one who ordered me to drive away the Queen as soon as possible, in front of as many people as possible . And who was the one who ordered her execution?”
She was the only one who could answer the emperor so comfortably in the entire empire .
“Haha, that’s true . I didn’t expect them to determine the queen position so soon, only ten days after entering the palace . ”
“It was such an obvious way to reveal her greed . I guess the other concubines were stupid enough to stay silent and follow her . ”
“I don’t understand why he would give up his entire fortune just to save his stupid daughter . ” Gaius clicked his tongue . There was no trace of pity for the queen on his face .
The downfall of Catherine Loenheim had been a plot created by the emperor . From the beginning, he deliberately chose the concubine from a low-class family to be the queen . He had intended to use her to set an example .
‘The emperor’s orders can turn your life upside down in a moment . ’ That was the lesson the emperor wanted to give . And he also established the authority of the Leifer family by entrusting his younger sister with the freedom to treat the queen as she wished .
“It seems the viscount is one of those who holds affection for his daughter . ” Gaius smiled . Petra knew what he was thinking of .
“What are you going to do with the princess?”
“We’re talking about that now?”
“Even though there was a lot of blood, I could see the cut she received from the kettle was healed . ”

“Healing ability, I see…” Gaius raised an eyebrow for a moment, thinking . Then he laughed .
“It’s not that I don’t believe what you saw, but how could you see it so clearly in such a short time?”
“It still looked like a wound, but she was very clearly trying to hide it from me . ”
“It could be because of that child’s timid personality . ”
“She’s a dangerous child to keep alive . If she’s inherited not only our Leifer appearance, but also our strong physique…”
“Let’s say you’re right,” Gaius said in a soft voice, interrupting his sister . “But what’s so dangerous about her? What could she possibly do with such a weak personality, even with a body that heals quickly?
“In the history of the empire, there have been several empresses who ascended to the throne . ”

The emperor snorted, but Petra ignored him .
“Many of those empresses were known to be benevolent rulers . ”
“It was just a coincidence . Women are not fit to rule . Even the greatest woman can only be meaningful when she eventually assists the man . ”
Petra frowned slightly at his words, but quickly smoothed her expression before Gaius could see it .
“Even you shine the most when you stay by my side . Because that’s all you understand . Just like how all the women in the Leifer family have been . ” He leaned haughtily against his chair .
“Apollonia is no different, except for that she is much weaker than you . Like her mother, she has no talent for politics . ”
“What if she marries a powerful man like her mother did and succeeds? Even if she hides her hair color, there’s no way she can hide the color of her eyes,” Petra retorted .

It wasn’t Apollonia’s gender she was concerned about .
“It’s not that child you need to worry about, Your Majesty . The problem is those who will support her succession based on her characteristics . ”
The fact was that Petra thought the same of Apollonia’s personality as the Emperor did . Every time she saw Petra, she was always running away . But Petra was a cautious woman .
“Her marriage may be of great help to us if we use it well . The decision of my daughter’s marriage will be my responsibility . ”
“… . ”
“Paris is growing brilliantly, too . There’s no need for the imperial bloodline . ”
He didn’t hide his disgust while saying ‘imperial bloodline’ . Petra let out a reluctant sigh .
