Iris's POV
They finally let me go! Talking to those nobles are not an easy job!
Oh no, please no (sarcasm)
Is this the scene where the heroine got jealous of the villainess and that whole crying scene? Where she will accidentally slip and splash her juice at the villainess and then pretended to cry and get everyone to see the villainess as a bad person?
What a waste of time, well why don't turn the table around *smirk
I grabbed a glass of juice and walked toward the heroine which is my dear half sister Charlotte Evelyn azalea, I can tell what she was about to do
I purposely bumped her and made the juice in my hand spill on my dress and I intentionally fell to the ground, a loud gasp of the crowd could be heard
"Oh my god, I am so sorry lady Everhart, I wasn't looking where I was going" good that's it, let those tears fall
As expected, Duke Azalea came to his daughter's aid, he got a handkerchief and wipe Charlotte's tears away, with that the daughter and father pair dug their own grave
Giving the handkerchief and ordering the servant to get a new dress to Charlotte instead of the one who truly needed it (me) the crowd looked at the two in disgust
"Allow me to help you up, my lady" Someone wearing a dark green coat with a white polo offered his hand to me, I accepted it and he then supported me to stand up
"My lady are you alright?" Kana-nee and my other maids rushed to help
"Yes, I'm fine it's only an accident" I turned to one of the palace maids and Politely requested a room to change into,
"Certainly, my lady, this way please" I didn't mind the other's sympathetic looks at me or their disgusted look at the Duke and his daughter--instead I elegantly walked and followed the maid..

No one's POV
Everyone followed the elegant duchess as she follow the maid to the room she asked for
"Duke Azalea.." The man wearing a dark green coat, black pants, white polo under his coat, and black ash hair with Diamond blue eyes---the same man who offered the duchess a hand spoke while eyeing the Duke with his annoying daughter that Is still crying
"I believe you owe us all an explanation" only an idiot won't understand the meaning behind those words the young man spoke of
"What do you, young Duke jameson?" Duke azalea asked---He didn't realized that everyone is looking at him with disgust
"Duke Azalea all of us saw what Happened, lady Everhart was the one who truly needed help and yet you choose to help your daughter..." Everyone then agreed with the young Duke's word
"Of course, she is my daughter" Duke azalea said with pride that only made everyone furious
"Duke Azalea your are one of the most talented official in the court and yet you can't difference the right and the wrong?" The young Duke spoke in a disappointed voice
"And lady Azalea, isn't the one who supposed to be crying Is the duchess---you spilled juice into her dress and yet she did not blame you instead she accepted it----but you on the other hand, acted as if you were wronged" all the Girls, boys who used to admired Charlotte is full of disappointment
"What do you mean, we all saw that she spilled the juice into her own dress--my daughter has nothing to do with it!" shameless!! They all thought
"Then are you saying that I'm lying?" Duke Azalea instantly shutted his mouth
Cain Jameson--like iris, he is also one of the most talented and obviously-- beautiful person in the kingdom
When Cain was 11, he show his determination and strength to his father by solving some problems for him like---lack of food, poverty in the kingdom, getting evidence and etc.
With that the king granted him the title of young Duke jameson at the age of 12---but unlike iris who was forced to inherit the duchess title due to the sudden death of her mother, Cain still have his family
The Jameson residence couldn't be more happier for having two Duke jameson in the family
The king himself hold great value to Someone like Cain Jameson and iris natasha Everhart, the two contributed a lot to the kingdom---someone like Duke azalea who only inherited the title from his father--the former Duke azalea, Edmond azalea didn't contributed that much to the kingdom not like the two prodigy
Anyone who dares offend the two young official will no doubt receive the king's wrath
"That's enough" An enchanting voice of a young man spoke at the same Time the grand door opened
Everyone bowed their heads in the sight of the kingdom's crown prince
The prince then walked to the direction toward the young Duke--the prince childhood best friend
"Your highness" Duke Azalea immediately ordered the maids to take her daughter to help her freshen up.
