CHAPTER 21 (1). DO YOU LOVE HIS MAJESTY?

Patrizia made a sudden expression of being lost for the moment, then soon recalled something and said 'aha.' It seemed that she was referring to how he had stayed over for last night because of the rain.

But how had it reached Rosemond's ears so early? Patrizia replied calmly while thinking that there might be a spy in the Imperial Palace.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I was alone with the Majesty, and we were both hit with the rain."

It must have sounded like romantic words, but it was not a very sweet situation for the person who had to go through it. Of course for listeners, especially for Rosemond, it was enough for her to become infuriated. She was shaking as she asked Patrizia another question, holding the hem of her dress with a clenched fist.

"On that night… You say you were with His Majesty?"

"That is right."

"Why?"

"Huh?"
