Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 194: Aroma Conspiracy.

When I opened my eyes, I went back to my room. I did not expect that in just one month, Moon Palace could find intelligent life in that world. Well calling it the world is indeed less precise because it is just a space attached to the Eration, and is only limited by a very thin membrane of space.

The condition of a world is that it has an independent protector of space, so that place is really not qualified to be called a world.

I looked over and saw the sky outside that was still gray. The soft white snow slowly floated and danced with the cold wind outside the window. There were no green leaves waving due to the wind. There was only the rustling sound of bare tree branches rubbing against each other slowly.

The normally excited sound of the bird disappeared like an illusion, leaving behind a desolate white and gray world like a monochrome painting in the corner of space.

Winter in this world occurs almost one and a half times longer than on earth. If the rotation and revolution of the mainland were not faster than the rest of the world, the winter time would be very long due to its enormous size. With such a measure, the Eration has twenty-four hours a day which is the same as the earth, so you can imagine how fast it rotates.

I went down to the first floor and sat in the living room. Today Ilma is on a mission from the embryo. I don't know what mission he has to go on because he's gone from last night.

Philia:"Can you make me a cup of tea?."

I said to a servant. If the master is not being accompanied by his personal servant, then the servant who sees must follow the master to meet his needs unless the master does not want a servant around him for some reason.

"I'll get it ready soon. Please wait for Princess."

I nodded and let the waiter go make some tea. There's not much I can do at home. I want to go back to the academy and do something.

Harnas:"Darling."

Suddenly my mother called me. I saw that mother had just entered from outside the room while carrying her sword as usual. Mother had gone to the palace since yesterday to do some work and investigate the peculiarities of the empire. The Empire attacked more intensely than usual. It was as if the empire was in a great hurry to attack the kingdom.

Filia:"Mother, welcome."

Mom nodded and sat down next to me while rubbing my head. It's actually very comfortable when mom's hand rubs my head.

Philia:"Mother, what about the investigation?."

Nothing I kept secret from me. Even if it was a royal secret, as long as mother knew and I asked, mother would never hide it from me. Even sometimes I wonder, how an incompetent person in keeping secrets like a mother can be trusted to talk about secret things by the king.

Harnas:"Well... The spies said that the imperial soldiers had been prepared at the border."

Philia:"Will mother go to the battlefield again?."

Harnas:"No. That's not necessary. But if the condition worsens, the mother should be ready to leave at any time. In addition, you also have to prepare many things to face the war that can happen at any time."

Filia:"Well, that must be exhausting."

Harnas:"It was exhausting. But, I want to do my best before I resign as Marshal."

Philia:"There are still six years, I can do so many things. Especially with the current strength of mother."

Harnas:"It's all thanks to you, baby."

Mom hugged me and put my head on her soft lap while stroking my hair. I could smell my mother's fragrance like a flower up close which made me comfortable. It is not a pungent floral scent, but it is a faint and very delicate floral scent.

Mother looks like a gentle woman, but in fact mother is a very stubborn and hardworking person. You can see that during this half month, mothers are very rarely at home because they have to do a lot of work.

Mom will be discharged from the military for another six years, just when I'm fifteen. Not because of her poor performance, but because I will be appointed as the Crown Princess of the Holy Kingdom who will inherit the throne in the future.

With my relationship with my mother, she cannot be allowed to hold power over the military of the country. Therefore, the mother had to leave her position as a Marshal. In the past, the mother could become a Marshal because she was married to the father and had already separated from the Holy Kingdom. However since I am about to inherit the throne of the Holy Kingdom, mother must again take her position as the Princess of the Holy Kingdom that gave birth to an heir.

Filia:"Work hard for you, Mother."

Harnas:"Not really. Only military matters, I can solve it easily. What makes me work hard is you."

Mother said that slowly with a gentle smile on her face. If outsiders saw this, they would probably think that mother was my older sister and would immediately provide a cover letter for her.

But I was confused by what Mom said. Did I make him work hard?. Did I do something?. As I recall, lately I was just playing around in the Mansion or hunting monsters at night without anyone knowing, how can I make mother difficult?.

I looked at my mother confused. Mother also noticed my gaze, then she took something out of her shirt pocket. I saw about ten letters that had adhesive candles with different family crests on them.

Looking at the letters, I got up and saw them.

Filia:"Mother, what is this?."

Harnas:"This is your cover letter today."

Filia:"Today?."

Harnas:"You'll get a letter like this almost every day. It makes me and Rovell work hard to resist it. But those nobles are really stubborn. They've been sending letters over and over again, and there's even a lot your father has burned."

I recognize every family crest on the candle stamp in every letter. Of these ten letters the lowest came from at least Count-level nobles.

Philia:"The father did not burn these letters. Is there anything special about them?."

Hearing my question, mother leaned lazily on the chair while hugging her sword. He looked at me with a smile.

Harnas:"Not really. There was nothing special about them other than a higher rank."

Philia:"But I kept this letter, is it because I like them?."

Garnat:"Hahaha...."

Mom just laughed unreliably. Before mom finished laughing, the waiter came back with a set of tea supplies complete with snacks.

While looking at the mother who was still laughing, I drank the tea that the servant had poured. The waiter also looked at me with a smile. What exactly happened?. Did I say something funny?.

Harnas:"You have no idea how eager Rovell was to bring troops to the nobles' house for sending letters to retrieve his small treasure. How could he like it?!."

Filia:"Then?."

Harnas:"Mother deliberately hid this letter from your father. I just want to see you make your own decisions."

Filia:"It turns out that way. I think mom was very happy to make me a toy."

Harnas:"How is it possible. You are a sweet little baby mother."

I ignored the mother who hugged me and rubbed me like a doll and focused on opening one of the letters. It was just a wedding request as usual. There was nothing special about those things other than some of the advantages they were prepared for. Rather than marriage, it is actually similar to a political exchange of benefits. These things really disgust me. It's only fitting that you want to immediately bring troops to the nobles' house.

I don't need to read all the letters because I'm sure that they are ninety percent the same except for the promised profit.

Filia:"The family of Marquis Margreve, not worth counting.

Harnas:"Oh, why?. They're a pretty strong family and their first child is kinda handsome."

Filia:"The first son of Marquis Margreve was ten years older than me. In addition, they had political ties to the empire and were suspected of smuggling many things including some forbidden objects to and from the empire. Although from the outside it looks clean and denies all the accusations, but they are still suspicious. Marquis Margreve is said to be the second son of the House of Margreve and that is true. He inherited his father's position after Marquis Margreve's first son had previously died inexplicably. But what outsiders do not know is that Marquis Margreve was the illegitimate son of the previous Marquis Margreve and the adopted daughter of the empire."

Harnas:"Oh, my goodness. It's very interesting. I didn't expect that you knew that. Actually the news is just a crossword, but if it's true then it looks like the House of Margreve should be wary of."

I'm just saying what I know from the Shadow investigation. I didn't expect that it wasn't exactly known by my mother. Right now I see me with very interested eyes.

Felmina came from the second floor along with Rurui and a noble lady in a simple brown dress.

Harnas:"Thank you for today Baroness Suisen."

Suisen: "It is my honor to share my knowledge with the members of the Rosefield family."

The woman bowed and accepted the mother's gratitude humbly. She was a tutoring teacher from Felmina to teach Felmina about many things regarding nobility. Not because I couldn't find a better teacher to teach Felmina to, but my mother and baroness Suisen had known for a long time and could be trusted. In addition, baroness Suisen is also famous for good manners and knowledge. At the very least, his abilities would not be looked down upon by a high-class noble family.

Suisen:"If so, I beg you to resign."

Harnas:"Don't hurry. Just take a break."

Suisen:"Maybe it's not worth it for me un_"

Harnas:"What empty egg. Just sit down."

Suisen:"If you insist, I'm sorry."

Finally the baroness sat on the chair opposite us with a face full of smiles. He could hide his nervousness very well and was able to remain calm in the presence of other nobles. He is certainly popular in social circles.

Seeing that the person sitting increased, the waiter swiftly poured the tea in the teapot for someone else.

Because my mother and I were sitting on a long sofa that fit three to four people, so Felmina was also sitting next to me sipping tea on the table.

Felmina:"Mother looks so happy, what's so happy?."

The mother who sipped tea heard Felmina's question. He rubbed Felmina's head with a smile.

Harnas:"No. I'm just talking about Filia's engagement."

Felmina:"Sir... Is my sister getting engaged?."

Felmina looked surprised. I don't really know what surprised him. It is not natural to have a fiancee. Even on earth that used to have a fiancee at a young age was a natural thing.

If I don't remember it wrong, I used to have a fiancee. But due to my extremely weak condition, he was not allowed to see me. I only saw him once, after that I never saw him again. I even forgot the existence of that person to this day.

Harnas:"Okay, baby. So, what else do you know?."

I asked about the House of Margreve. Actually not much I know. Not because I didn't get the information, but because I didn't really care about it before.

Phile:"Not much. This is just my guess. Looks like the House of Margreve got a lot of help from the Empire. Marquis Margreve wanted to always be on the good side of the Empire so that he could gain a stable position in the kingdom with the help of the empire. And also, the Empire wants to have a say in the kingdom by utilizing Marquis Margreve."

Rovell:"If they need each other, why should the Marquis please the Empire so much, wouldn't it be enough just to provide benefits for the Empire?."

Suddenly the father appeared and hugged the mother's neck from behind. I've been aware of father's arrival ever since father entered the Mansion gate. Only the mother was a little surprised at being embraced by the father all of a sudden. I don't know why lately I feel that dad is getting stickier with mom.

Filia:"This is a psychological game. The Empire behaved as if they did not need the existence of Marquis Margreve. That way, the House of Margreve will work harder to please the Empire which will make the House of Margreve easily controlled by the empire."

Rovell:"So, did the Marquis not realize that?."

Filia:"How could a conspirator like Marquis Margreve not realize the will of the empire."

Harnas:"Then, why didn't they step out of the Empire's influence after they gained their current position, wouldn't the empire be able to force Marquis Margreve to obey him?. Is he so obedient to his mother?."

Philia:"Where is possible. Marquis Margreve had even greater ambition. He wants to have a majority in parliament. With such ambition, he still needed imperial help to achieve it. He wanted to escape, but because of his ambition, he couldn't do it. So, he's looking for another way out."

I stopped and sipped my tea. I feel like talking for too long won't be good for my throat. Father and mother had thoughts after arriving at this part. This was indeed only my guess, but after I thought about it a little more, I smelled the scent of a larger conspiracy.

Felmina:"So sister, do you think this exit has anything to do with the engagement."

I smiled as I looked at Felmina. He seemed to realize something. But he was not very clear and only had a faint guess in his heart.

Philia:"Yes."

I put down the tea cup and continued.

Filia:"If they have an engagement with me, they will still get help from the Empire while limiting the imperial control over itself."

Suisen:"I'm sorry if I interfere. But, how could they hide such a move without being known to the empire?."

Philia:"They did not have to hide it. I'm sure the empire also wants the House of Rosefield to be tied to their group. The easiest way to tie us up is by engagement with me."

Harnas:"Then, didn't the Empire make a hole for themselves by allowing an engagement between the House of Rosefield and the House of Margreve?."

Maybe I guessed something. But he couldn't connect everything because there were still missing pieces of the puzzle so it was a bit confusing for mom. Mother is not like me who has Shadow to investigate things in secret.

Maybe if Grandma was here, she'd find out. Maybe even grandma had known it vaguely for a long time.

Filia:"That's true. If so, then the empire's purpose is not to bind us, but they want to get rid of me."

Bang...!!

Rovell:"What!!... How dare they think about it!."

A cold and killing aura instantly gushed from the father's body and filled the entire room. All the servants around the mansion became limp and trembled in fear.

I can only suppress the aura of killing father with my own aura so as not to affect the people in the mansion.

Philia:"Dad. Calm down."

Rovell:"Okay, I've calmed down."

Dad took a deep breath and sat on the chair impatiently. His face was still dark and frightening.

Harnas:"If they want to let you out, it must be because they will have a great advantage after doing so, right?."

Filia:"That's exactly. Their profits will be huge. And I felt that Marquis Margreve was unaware of the Empire's intentions. By getting rid of me, then the Empire won't have to worry anymore."

Rovell:"What do you mean?."

Dad asked me very suspiciously. The aura around his body became colder than before. He thought of something that made him very unhappy and prone to anger.

Filia:"Doranggo Empire, Regalia kingdom, House of Rosefield and Holy Kingdom."

I just mentioned it and everyone in the room seemed to realize something. Everything seems to be fixated with empty thoughts, but in fact their minds are moving much faster than usual.

Empire, I will definitely take revenge...

(The end of this chapter.)

I purposely stopped him here so that you can play guesswork about what the imperial advantage is....
