章 157: THE EMPRESS VS. THE PRINCESS (1)

"MY BROTHER is meeting an unknown woman?" Veronica, who was busy brewing her own tea, asked the knight who was giving her a report about Vaughn. Since she was meeting with her shadow knights, the knights that Emperor Rino wasn't aware of, she locked herself up in her chamber. "And you haven't identified the woman yet?"

Her older brother had been busy recently to even see her even if she summoned him.

Hence, even though she didn't want to send her people to spy on Vaughn, she had to do it this time.

"We haven't identified the woman yet, but according to our investigation, she's a servant from House Rochester," Bien, the captain of her shadow knights, said. "The woman also attended Princess Vera's birthday banquet as Princess Runa's nanny."

She glared at the knight. "Don't address that filthy brat as a princess. She may be the adopted daughter of House Viotto, but a peasant with unknown origin like that child doesn't deserve a royal title."
