Chapter 21
“Lady Neuwanstein , Duke of Nurembert .”
“Lady Neuwanstein , my condolences.”
“Lady Neuwanstein .”
“May he rest in peace, Lady Neuwanstein .”
Everyone greeted politely, but the crowd seed to be shocked by my appearance. The atmosphere wasn’t tense as in the past.
Here, the age of most cardinals wasn’t different as before compared to my current ntal age, from early 30s to late 40s at best.
Duke Nurembert and Duke Heinrich were also less than 40 years old.
The case involving the children’s relatives the other day would have spread by now. It was obvious that they’d accuse of being a cold-blooded woman.
Would it be fortunate if the only person here who favors is Duke Nurembert?
As for Duke Heinrich, who had been my in-laws in the past, he only wanted to have a marital relationship with Neuwanstein.
Despite his neutral attitude on the day of the hearing, the only reason I accepted the engagent between his daughter and Jery was for the children’s future.
…Of course it’s a different story from now on.
Phew, it would have been better if the Duke Nurembert had a daughter. But as far as I know, he has only a son, Jeremy’s age.
Jeremy, who will fight madly for the position of the Empire’s strongest knight in the near future.
Perhaps the Duke is so generous to because he has a son of the sa age.
Whatever he thought inside, he smiled quietly and exchanged greetings before sitting down.
There was a reserved seat next to Duke Nurembert in the center. A position that my husband occupied in his lifeti.
“Before we begin the parliant, I’d like to say a prayer to honor the deceased who was here with us not too long ago.”
With Duke Nurembert’s remark in the silent cardinal, the people who were staring at began to recite a prayer.
After the long and slow recitation of the prayer was over, while everyone drew the cross sign with a short sigh, I turned to Duke Nurembert and opened my mouth with a light smile, “By the way, Duke. I’m planning to hold a morial banquet soon. I’m sending you an invitation, so would you please co with your wife?”
This was originally a suggestion this duke made to in the past. He asked what I thought of holding a morial banquet in mory of the Marquis.
At that ti, I was so busy and out of my mind, so I said I would think about it later.
Now that I think about it, it was an opportunity to show my position. Although it’s very strange for , I caressed my chin with my hand for a while and then showed a calm smile.
“morial banquet…? Well, it’s a good idea. I was about to make a similar offer to you.”
“Thank you, but I think that’s the right thing to do on my side… Of course, would you please co?”
“Of course, the Emperor misses the deceased quite a bit, and was about to discuss it with you.”
“Lady Neuwanstein, I feel like I’m being excluded. But when do you think it’s the right ti?” Duke Heinrich coughed, and I couldn’t help smile at his words.
No matter what they think of , my position as a widow, who accounts for more than half of the shares of the imperial treasury, wasn’t sothing that could be easily reduced no matter how young I was.
I, the temporary owner of such a family, and Duke Nurembert, the younger brother of the Empress, are planning a morial banquet to honor the Emperor’s loyalty, so if they fail to show their faces there, they will be humiliated.
“Oh, is Duke Heinrich going to co?”
“Well, of course. Yohen was also my best friend.”
“Am, it’s a banquet in honor of the Emperor’s loyalties, and it’s sothing that everyone deserves.”
I think the first step was sohow taken. This banquet would be the key to prevent the hearing.
