Chapter 60

Selfish Mind (9)

Clank, thump.

Everyone looked confused by the sudden locked door. People wandered because they were trapped in the banquet hall.

Usually, they were looking forward to seeing if there was an event prepared separately, while half were trembling with anxiety.

Standing in a position where everyone looked up and looked down, he looked up at the people carefully. Now she saw the face of the man she was looking for.

She turned her gaze away and fixed it on the nobles she talked to earlier.

Along with the sudden situation, their bodies trembled at her cold eyes.

“It’s not that surprising.”

Slowly, as she went down the stairs, she headed back to them. People held their breath because it was calm and overwhelming without shaking.

There is no longer a Princess who used to act arbitrarily every day. However, there was a Princess who did not blink whenever a person died.

“I kept hearing interesting rumors. Of course, there were exaggerated stories based on facts. The most memorable thing is…….”

It was a great family with all the children and families of the Bartis family in high-ranking positions. That’s what people know.

One of the most important families who had always deceived people with a sweet face and avoided suspicion.

“The Duke of Bartis? I think you know it well.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Did you not hear rumors about me while working in a job related to the imperial family? I’m sure you’ve heard it until your ears are tired of it.”

He looked like he really didn’t know what she was talking about. She didn’t think that the person in power would have kept the position so easily. That much effort would have been needed.

For example, calming down his emotions as he is now, or spitting lies without a blink of an eye will also be a trace of the years he has lived.

“I’m sure everyone knows from the rumors. Sir Gray, whom I once loved, is now in prison. Oh! Did you hear the reason?”

Silence lingered. Her father turned his head to see her like that. His eyes seemed full of worries about what else she was going to do. He didn’t have any faith.

“He shared his body with my maid. He even wrote a memorandum to give her the position of the empress when I die. You all know what I did, right?

The nobles made an impression on their faces. Gray’s bottom thing was cut off, and Elliot was blinded.

Everyone seemed to agree that it was enough to annihilate the Imperial family, but they seemed to shake their heads at the afterimage that came to mind.

“But I found out a more interesting story.”

“Mary, what in the world did you hear?”

“What would you do if all this was planned for the throne in the first place?”

Everyone was astonished by what she said. In other words, it meant rebellion. With an exclamation of nonsense, the surroundings became noisy.

Of course, it was half right and not half. Is there no reason why she can’t make it up?

“Yes, I was on a time limit waiting for the day I’ll die. I also know that I gave everyone a hard time with a young heart to let them know my existence. I won’t deny it.”

Patting Duke Bartis’ stiff shoulders, she turned around and beckoned. The guard came to her and gave her the documents.

“So I’m going to correct it from now on.”

Her father frowned at her words. He was seen leaning on the throne with a shocked face.

He never would have thought she would touch them, and he seemed very surprised at the word of rebellion.

She started reading the documents one by one.

“When I looked into the Drov family, I noticed an abnormal profit structure in your family. And it’s estimated that the Arman family and the Bartis family also earned from working together.”

“What are you talking about? Princess, please don’t defame our family! It’s unfair!”

“Shut your mouth, Count. I hate being cut off while talking.”

She was going to rip it off if he opened his mouth one more time. She had no intention of saving them because she changed her mind, anyway. It was better to get rid of it if it interfered.

Didn’t they decide that, too? To get rid of her, to take her place when she dies.

“I’m going to tell you how the three families have been rolling in money and helping each other from now on, so listen carefully.”

The Imperial family had no choice but to not know because it made money through the dark channels.

Since the Bartis family was in a high-ranking Imperial position, it was easy to forge documents.

Thanks to this, several businesses were secretly carried out with the names of other nominal families.

“They secretly paid for the children without fathers and sold them as slaves, and to develop medicine, children who were not sold as slaves were imprisoned and tested, and girls were…….”

She closed her eyes and took a breath. She looked at Arthur, trying to quench her anger. It was something he didn’t show her yesterday.

Perhaps he knew that if she saw this, she would kill them and get rid of them without worrying.

He wanted her to choose what she needed, so it was more beneficial. It must have been until she said she didn’t regret it he showed her the complete document.
