"Stay away from my husband!"
'!'
While having a conversation with the Empress, suddenly, I heard the voice of Aleriana.
She interrupted in the middle, referring to me with a title that clearly sent a ripple of silence around the nobleman's table.
All of them were already bowing to the Empress, but now they flinched at the arrival of the Princess.
'Stupid System'.
I could clearly see how, unlike how I wanted to keep the Empress and Princess both away from each other, the System settled with this outcome.
Not without giving me a warning, it sent that message telepathically to the Princess, who most probably heard it and arrived here.
But...
'What's with you?'
Yet, I couldn't help but look towards Aleriana, who had spoken up for me, but she halted mid-sentence.
Her eyes widened, and her hands were clenched together as though she didn't want to intervene.
