Wilhelmâs face, who was left alone, was still expressionless to the point where it was difficult for anyone to read his mind.
But there was definitely a crack. It was a crack caused by a wave of emotions.
âI told you to rest.â
Anastasiaâs activities were reported by Colton almost every day.
âShe ignores me and keeps working.â
And every time he felt weirdly twisted. Perhaps it was anger because of her continued defiance.
âI want to thank you for what happened the other day.â
He remembered what the Duke of Barantes had said to him earlier.
âWhat are you talking about?â
âFor praising Her Majestyâs achievements.â
âIâm just stating the obvious. I donât think itâs something to be thankful for.â
âYou could have taken it away. There were a lot of precedents like that.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âHer Majesty is trying hard to change her reputation these days. The Emperorâs praise paid it off.â
âItâs good for me, too. Now that the queen is finally doing her job. Everythingâs back to normal.â

âWhy is it so uncomfortable?â
He felt uncomfortable. Itâs annoying and bothersome. The problem with her is strangely so.
âIâm here to report on todayâs work.â
The sound he had heard from her little mouth was a frightened sob, not a cold report.
Nevertheless, when he heard her calm voice, he got angry.
He felt countless emotions from the moment he received the letter, and the feeling that his unidentified inner turmoil was completely denied.
