When Vladimir entered the head of the family’s office, his father Giorgie was shouting something at the butler.

“You wanted to see me, Father?” 

 

“Oh Vladimir!”

 

Giorgie bellowed as he turned to his son.
His muscular body, which seemed to be twice the size of his thin son’s, was trembling in rage.

 

“I hear that young Alexei has dismissed the Lady’s servant again! I’ve known him since he was a mere child, but how dare he be so impudent? I feel sorry for the Lady!” (Giorgie)

 

The ‘Lady of the House’, as Giorgie called her, was of course referring to Alexei’s grandmother, Alexandra.

 

“Recently, both Nova and Sein have been disrespecting the royal family.
The only one who has remained truly loyal is my Magna.
My family must correct this misgivings…”  (Giorgie)

“So, the dismissed servant has come to you again, asking to be hired?” (Vladimir)

 

Vladimir interrupted his father’s speech with a cold voice.
Giorgie looked annoyed, but nodded.

 

“Yes.
Do something about it.” (Giorgie)

 

“What do you want to do, Father? Do you want to hire her?” (Vladimir)

 

Giorgie’s eyes widened in surprise.

 

“Nonsense! The problem is that the servant is still alive.
Why didn’t she sacrifice herself when the lady was killed? Isn’t she disloyal? There is no way I would hire such a person!” (Giorgie)

 

“I understand.
Then I’ll give instructions to them so… Zahar, understand?” (Vladimir)

“Yes, of course.” (Zahar)

 

Zahar, the butler, bowed.

 

Giorgie clicked his tongue a little in distaste. 

 

“If she can’t even sacrifice herself, at least have the guts to avenge her master.
Until she runs a sword through the young man who killed the Lady, she shouldn’t be allowed to close her eyes with such disloyalty…” (Giorgie)

 

“Father?” (Vladimir)

 

“Hmm.
No one has noticed the truth yet, but he can’t fool my eyes.
It was too unusual for a healthy lady to suddenly pass away.
It’s not only the lady, but also Alexandre, who was said to have had an accident, but no details were given.
The ruthless Alexei had committed the great crime of killing his parents.
I’m sure of it.” (Giorgie)

 

“Father…how could you speak of such things?” (Vladimir)

Vladimir’s tone is cold.

 

“It is very unlikely that Alexei had harmed Lady Alexandra, because Alexei went through the trouble of requesting that Lady Alexandra’s remains be buried in the Imperial mausoleum.” (Vladimir)

 

Originally, the remains of the surrendered Alexandra should have been buried in the mausoleum of her bridegroom, the Duke of Yurinova.
However, Alexei requested that she be buried in the Imperial mausoleum because her grandmother’s pride as an imperial princess was the most important to her until the end.
The Emperor Constantine also acquiesced to this request.

 

However, Alexei probably harboured the intent to not have wanted to put his grandmother to rest beside his grandfather who was lying in his own mausoleum.

 

“A dead body is the greatest evidence.
If you have harmed them, there will be some kind of traces.
If Alexei had committed a crime, he would have buried Lady Alexandra in Nova’s mausoleum.  He is not the kind of person who would give away his weaknesses on his own.” (Vladimir)

 

“…There will be times when there will be no traces of any evidence left behind.” (Giorgie)

 

Giorgie’s voice was low and somewhat laced with amusement.

Vladimir gazed at his father’s eyes.
They should have been grayish green, but now they are bright green.
At this moment, there is a light that dwells within them.

 

“What are you talking about?” (Vladimir)

 

“Uh…uh…no.” (Giorgie)

 

Giorgie looks away from his son, but then glances back at him.

 

But by then, Vladimir had turned his gaze to his desk.

 

“I see that your work is not progressing.” (Vladimir)

 

The papers were piled high on a large desk made from a huge, expensive ebony tree that had been used by the head of Yurimagna for generations.
