"Hail the Queen, Emperor Welsey asked for private time with you, there is something to talk about" said the maid, not yet avenged, the figure of Frederick appeared to kiss Viviana's friendly hand creating awkwardness.
"I'm sorry to interrupt the Queen's private time, I asked for both times"
Madelin's eyes flashed, distorted by attraction. Like scoffing and making fun. "Oh, apparently the Queen and Emperor Welsey are very close yes, the rumors are true apparently"
Hanaya looked at him dislikeingly.
Can Madelin not look for opportunities to lead bad opinions?
Amber Frederick's eyes glared at Madelin's coldness, her mischievous smile billowing like steam in the wind "So, should the Emperor be close to a cunning woman?" Hanaya was surprised, as was Madelin. Didn't expect Frederick to say that.
"Your tongue, if it's only useful to twist the facts or provoke them better in pieces, is useless" Madelin clenched his hands.
Always Viviana and Viviana! What good is this woman?
He is clearly much better and better!
"Will, take this lady back to her residence. Make sure he doesn't rattle on anything else that leads to opinion, if so hold him up for defamation"
"Good Emperor" a young man with green-eyed leaves, a black-browed bow, immediately approached Madelin.
"Let's follow my lady" before Madelin could pass Frederick's whisper made him lose his pride and strength
"This is indeed your country, but with my status and only one utterance, even if it's a lie even your life will be lost in one slash"
Hanaya did not know, what created a wave of resignation on Madelin's face. It was as if Frederick had slapped him with the most shameful thing or the greatest disgrace.
He was obviously surprised by the change in the man's face. So quickly, a vile grin changed into a warm smile "Let me lead the Queen to the palace. It's dark and dinner may have been prepared"
Hanaya clumsily welcomes Frederick's hand, the two walk in silence, until Hanaya opens the conversation.
"Thank you" he just felt Frederick deserved it. If there were no Frederick, Hanaya's emotions would only be drained with all Madelin's attacks. It is difficult to maintain emotions without expressing them, because Hanaya is clearly the opposite.
"Because of saving the Queen from discomfort?"
How does he know?
"Surprising lips, then sharp tones, wandering eyes, you also try to keep your distance from the lady and your smile is fake. I noticed all the Queen's gestures. You're obviously not comfortable talking to him, maybe the compulsion of formality." the explanation that fell as if Frederick had read his thoughts added to Hanaya's shock
"You-you
"Ah, Your Highness Javier" Frederick's voice made Hanaya look forward rigidly. Javier's figure stood in front of the palace door with a cold face.
While Frederick who either pretended not to know or was stupid continued to lead Hanaya towards the man.
"Sorry, you must be upset but I have a reason" Frederick said when handing Viviana to Javier who spontaneously greeted.
"It seemed like the palace was too lenient, the guarding was too lacking that a disinterested woman could enter and humiliate the Queen at will" a remark that splashed Javier's anger, while Hanaya looked at Frederick who was grinning with shock.
"Tell me who Viviana is"
Hanaya exhaled, having no choice but to answer. Frederick was indeed a helper but his words sometimes ignited the extinguished fire, meaning to exaggerate the problem.
"Unlike that, Emperor Welsey just misunderstood. Lady Madelin came and had a little chat with me Your Majesty"
"If he makes you uncomfortable, tell me"
"Sure, Your Majesty"
Javier looked at Frederick "Sorry to misunderstand you"
"It doesn't matter, jealous men are natural isn't it?" Clumsily.
Then the three pass, while Javier leads Viviana to her room and Frederick returns to her room. Well, there's still quite a bit of time before dinner arrives.

"Master, there is a message from the palace" said Amos, handing over the letter with the royal seal on top of the letter to Xavier.
The contents of the letter asked him to escort the return of Emperor Welsey tomorrow.
Xavier grabbed a pen, replying to the letter of the Emperor who was his younger brother. After that his eyes stared towards the window where the pigeon post came out.
"Send a letter to Baron Alex, ask if they've visited the Queen?"
"Okay, my lord" said Amos sprightly. Then it passed, leaving Xavier staring out the window with an unreadable look.
Soon, he will show himself. Soon the chaos of Viviana's life will begin, so the woman will come to him, right?
The moment Viviana is on her side and the moment Javier's life destruction begins.
The plan to overthrow Javier will work!
"Master, Viscountess Lances came to see you" wordlessly, Xavier got up, went down the stairs to meet Viviana's mother.
"Why do you come on nights like this?" Ask.
"Wear only honey and one sugar stone, Amos" Viscountess ignored Xavier, ordering Amos as if accustomed.
"Good Mistress"
"It feels right, thank you"
He told the waiter.
"Of course madam, it's my duty" Amos replied with a small smile, then rushed out.
The viscountess looked at Xavier, though,
"I just want to ask, when will the plan be carried out? I've even prepared what I need"
"Now, Viscountess"
"When's the specifics?"
"There will be a sign for that, someone's death" Xavier said coldly.
"Those closest to my daughter, are you?" Viscountess sneered.
"That's possible. Someone close to him. At that time, our plan will begin immediately"
"The plan to overthrow Javier's leadership" Viscountess said, "That is your goal, but mine is revenge for my dear daughter" she said.
Xavier just stared at the woman's lungs as illegible. "It seems like this conversation won't be long, I have to return my husband will probably be back in a few hours"
"It looks like we have reached the intersection of our goals" muttered the woman when she reached the door leaf.

"That woman, who is Will?" Frederick's voice echoed, while the man sat by his room's hearth with warm tea.
"Daughter of Duke Nestra, the right hand of the Emperor you saw in the previous meeting. Name's Madelin"
Frederick frowned, recalling the figure of Duke Nestra. The 45 or 46 year old man who had grayed his hair, huh?
"Is she his real daughter?"
"Yes, sir"
Frederick's Sermon is seen
"Why not convince? There's no resemblance in their genetics"
"It's possible that the mother's genetic makeup is more dominant" Will said.
"Even if the maternal genes predominate, there are one or two parts of Duke Nestra's body that are similar to her. But Madelin has none of that. They're like different people"
Will took a breath. Another trait of his master is guessing and always curious. Sam may have plenty of energy reserves in the face of this change in their master's nature. Unlike Sam who freely expressed his thoughts, Will can be said to be very very reluctant to the status of Frederick even though the three of them grew up together.
"What makes you so curious?"
"From his face the woman was greedy. His eyes were full of greed. Unlike the slightly innocent Queen, Madelin was like a snake - she might lose her head someday with that girly nature"
Will's stunned.
This is not the first time Frederick guesses the nature of others and sometimes seems to predict their future. At first it was not believed, but the more often the realization of the man's speech makes Sam and Will now believe, it is not a trick.
Frederick has one advantage. Good at analyzing a person's body movements and reading their thoughts through gestures. Is not the body a mirror of thought? What the brain thinks will be reflected by the body, that is body language.
The tongue can be deceiving but the eyes and body are always honest even though the heart is a space full of mystery.
So, will Madelin end up decapitated ? Destiny is always changing, right ?
And Frederick knew that nothing was absolute just by estimate.
