Chapter 56 - Stay Away from My Husband

Suddenly, a womanly voice approached me, causing my eyes to snap open. I found a woman in a red robe, covered in it, with her face concealed under a veil. As she arrived near me, her presence instantly caused all the noblemen to stand on their feet.

"Greetings, Empress!"

In unison, each of them greeted the woman, revealing her identity as the Empress Dowager.

Before looking at her, I glanced towards the princess's table, only to find the princess gazing in my direction with a cold stare. But this time, instead of malice, I observed a flicker of anxiety and anger in those eyes, directed at me and the Empress.

'Don't tell me you are going to attack her, Woman!? At this moment, the last thing I wanted was for them to engage in a battle, knowing well that if it occurred, Aleriana would win. After all, right now, standing before me was not the Empress herself but her body double, which would create big trouble for me.
