Around that time, a letter was delivered to the duchy.
[As I have said before, I will leave this family. I am no longer the daughter of Vaveloa. Please submit a letter of notice to His Majesty.
Together we, (this sentence was written several times.) No, it was fun, let’s never meet again.
-Meldenique]
The excommunication request was very neat.
No, it was a little too vague to say that it was neat. Anyone who saw the letter, that was still wet from the rain, could tell that it was written without thought.
Meldenique didn’t even show her sincerity to erase her mistake or use new and good quality paper.
The Duchess held up her fan to ponder.
Every time she fanned herself, her ruby-red hair fluttered.
“How come she is so confident in asking for a scandal? Does she have faith?”
Duke Vaveloa burst into anger from his wife’s bewitching face.
“…She must be trying to hurt our self-esteem! She’s trying to humiliate us again. Agh, my head.”
It was Duke Vaveloa who acted as if he had no awareness of his daughter.
He had no thought of pushing Meldenique away when he told her to get out.
Because he had the habit to quickly forget his own faults while only remembering the faults of others.
That was natural for people like him.
If they didn’t benefit him, he would reject them.
It didn’t matter if they were family.
“Meldenique, she’ll come crawling back. Isn’t that right, wife?”
Hildegart’s brown eyes were twinkling.
“I’m sure she’ll come bowing, your Excellency.”
She nodded assentingly at Duke Vaveloa’s words. But her gut told her something else. That Meldenique changed.
But Hildegart smiled and folded her fan.
‘The three said so. Meldenique isn’t doing anything.’
The three men she hired reported that Meldenique was rolling around with dust in a deserted house.
She often shed tears.
She always lived the life of a loser, so she had to fail.
Hildegart had never lost a match against Meldenique. It’s the same this time.
By the time her lips were raised to the fullest, Duke Vaveloa slammed the table.
“For now, I think we’d better start the scandal as she wants.”
Duke Vaveloa’s eyes thinned.
“What are you saying, wife? No matter what, isn’t an excommunication too dire?”
Maybe it’s because she’s his real daughter. Or maybe it’s because he didn’t like a lot of noise coming from his family.
It was Duke Vaveloa who always gave Meldenique a slap and cursed her, but cutting her off seemed to create ripples in his heart.
“I’m not saying to actually create a scene. It’s just to scare her.”
“Scare her?”
Duke Vaveloa’s ears seemed to flutter.
“Yes, we need a four-week mediation period to excommunicate her anyway. After that, you need a trial with his Majesty present.”
“Ahem, a mediation period. Yes, that’s true.”
There were few cases where nobility was excommunicated. Most of them cancelled the cut within the four-week mediation period.
It was safe to say that there were no cases in which the Emperor approved the trial.
‘After the mediation period, she’ll be the first high-ranking noble to be excommunicated.’
Hildegardt raised one hand to cover her mouth. She thought she was going to burst into laughter.
The present Emperor was like a scarecrow without power, but he was also a political opponent who kept the strong power of Duke Vaveloa in check.
Such a man cannot repair the tears of excommunicating Princess Meldenique, the shame of Duke Vaveloa.
If he excommunicated the daughter of Duke Vaveloa, Meldenique, it will damage the Duke.
Once Meldenique was excommunicated, it’ll be easy to get rid of her.
‘I’ve destroyed her business to excommunicate Meldenique and given her all kinds of shame, and I can finally see the light.’
Hildegart, who hid her true intentions, threw away the graceful bid.
It won’t be long before her daughter takes everything from Meldenqiue.
“I’ll write the letter of inquiry.”
“Yes, shouldn’t you give the disgraceful girl a lesson?”
Madame Hildegart, who saw the grumbling Duke, recalled her daughter, Sheria.
Her beloved daughter would be under the midday sun right now.
She wondered if her daughter was having fun in at the beautiful resort with the priests of the Holy Land.
The Duchess thought to build a foundation until Sheria returned.
A deep smile formed from Hildegart’s mouth.
“Yes, I’ll have to give her a lesson.”
Seeing Duke Vaveloa frown, Hildegart grabbed her teacup and took it to her mouth.
Meldenique’s every move was already in Hildegart’s grasp.
She smiled with her eyes down.
At this rate, Meldenique will be excommunicated and become a commoner.
The marriage between commoners and nobles in the Empire was impossible. Then naturally, Sheria will take the spot as Duke Hesman’s wife.
‘Why hasn’t Duke Hesman broken up with Meldenique yet?’
Hildegart’s brow frowned briefly.
‘…I guess because it’s annoying and hurts your pride.’
Otherwise, why would Lennox Hesman, who had everything, be hung up on the stupid Meldenique Vaveloa?
Duke Hesman had no reason to do so.
“Why do you look so anxious? You weren’t very close to Meldenique.”
“Still, I feel bad seeing her fail every time.”
Chewing her lips, the woman looked back at Duke Vaveloa.
“I’m furious at the thought of what that girl did.”
Duke Vaveloa went red with anger.
Hildegart, who regained her composure, stared at him and smiled.
This man also chose her, not his first wife, Meldenique’s mother. So there was nothing to be anxious about.
“First, I’ll take the excommunication letter to the Emperor, your Excellency. In secret.”
Everything was going well.
She smiled oddly, caressing Duke Vaveloa’s jawline.
It would be better to make a small fuss, so Meldenique won’t be able to make a comeback before the excommunication.
‘As always, I can read through my opponent.’
“I will put in that Meldenique will receive a notification of the excommunication.”
Hildegart’s face swelled. It was an obvious and cruel pleasure that smeared on her face.
On that very day, a secret about ‘Meldenique Vaveloa’ was delivered to the palace.
***
Four days later at dawn.
Meldenique’s stationary store was in the middle of being remodeled.
Meldenique opened her eyes wide when she saw the mailman coming from far away. Finally, the long-awaited news came.
“The excommunication is finally here!”
The postman delivered a paper containing, ‘We secretly received a letter of excommunication. After a four-week adjustment period, prepare to be tried by His Majesty, the Emperor.’
It was Hildegart’s handwriting.
After reading the letter, I was jumping up and down with excitement from early dawn to late morning.
‘One step forward to break up!’
I’ll soon be able to sever ties with the Vaveloa Duchy!
However, unlike me, Dominique still looked worried.
“Why isn’t Duke Hesman replying to the breakup request? You really wanted to break up.”
I answered back heartily.
“Him? Maybe he doesn’t want to break up. I’m not interested anymore.”
Seeing that he’s not breaking up, it seemed that Meldenqiue was worth using.
It was obvious as Lennox, who never loved Meldenique, went through such lengths to prevent a break up.
But now it doesn’t matter whether Lennox was a doctor or the Duke.
“But now he doesn’t need to breakup.”
“Why?”
“When I’m excommunicated, I become a commoner, and naturally the engagement becomes invalid. The Imperial law prohibits the marriage between nobles and commoners.”
I strongly demanded a breakup because I was afraid I might be excommunicated.
But now, he didn’t have to grind his teeth and ask for a breakup. He’ll be able to breakup naturally.
“I feel like I’ve been released of a lot of pain.”
Lennox and Hildegart were in a collaborative relationship.
However, their interests were clearly different.
I didn’t know why, but he wanted to marry me, and Madame Hildegart wanted Lennox and me to breakup and tie him with Sheria.
In other words, using their different interests, I blew my nose without touching it. (Proverb: She used their differences to get what she wants without doing anything.)
‘Now that this operation had been a great success, hasn’t it, Madame Hildegart. You must be excited to feed me a bullet.’
But I was grateful that she did what she wanted. To the point where I wanted to kiss her fair cheeks.
I hummed and wiped the store windows.
Seeing the clean windows without a speck of dust made me think that my future would be this clean.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Around that time, a letter was delivered to the duchy.
