Sister-in-law of the Heroine in a Childcare Novel

There was no justification for finding a marriage partner as well.

If the Second Empress had died, the First Empress would have reached out to use her officially.

Even if she was in a situation where she was sick and living in her own palace, she said something because her biological mother was alive.

If anything goes wrong with Titania, the emperor will be furious that her marriage to the Castrine family will go wrong.

Powerful people are only looking for each other on the outside so that they don't make a mistake.

But if I were the 'original' Titania, I wouldn't have asked my fiance for an escort because I didn't have anywhere to go.

The original Titania Solkite Hamastion wanted to be seen as a proud imperial princess more than anyone else in front of her fiance, Rayman.

Therefore, even though she neither listened nor spoke much, she was angry at the attitude from the Duke of Castrine and always thought of him looking down at her, who had the emperor’s affection.

In fact, the emperor, who had no interest in the Titania, would only look at her face once for every excuse of meeting her fiance, to put more pressure on the duke.

There was no way to tell her fiance that she was in a situation where she had no proper escort or a maid to trust.

The most surprising thing was the last remark.

"With people who can kill and save people."

Apparently, it was a sign to send someone who could handle drugs, poison, and swords. This was in a sense…an expression of willingness to make a deal and trust the Duke of Castrine.

Whatever the princess instructs the people sent by the Duke of Castrine, the contents will go to the duke.

Furthermore, even if they conspire and are overturned by the imperial princess, the imperial princess will be punished.

If the Imperial Princess says to hurt the person who helps the Duke of Castrine, they may disobey the Imperial Princess' order or harm the Imperial Princess on the contrary.

I'll take all those risks.

The eyes of me looking down at the teacup broken by my own hands were faint.

(Third person pov)

It was a strange thing. To Rayman, the imperial princess was more shabby than anytime he had ever seen her. Her hair, which had always been well-maintained, lost its light and drooped weakly, and the white jade-like skin also lost its vitality and was pale.

Nevertheless, the shining eyes under the thin and long eyelashes were especially clear. Like a wounded beast laughing with a lump of poison.

"…Maybe what I’ve seen so far was acting."

"What? Isn't that even crazier?"

Cassian literally jumped up and down.

"Wouldn't it be better to say that a complete stranger is suddenly acting with the face of the princess?"

"No matter how feeble she is... The royal family was blessed with light. There was such an immunity."

The imperial family was the only heir to the power of light in this era.

Even in nature, it is a power to "govern" all forces, so if you can properly realize and draw out your strength, it means that even Duke Castrine can kneel down.

The possibility of realization was close to zero, but anyway, the weak power of light is still power.

The royal family was not subjected to private sorcery or witchcraft. It's no good if you take a poison that's a little bit dangerous enough to overcome it, or if you get your throat cut off.

And yet, it was a strange feeling. It's ridiculous. It must be the royal family that has already lost its self-esteem and transformed from the protector of the empire to the exploiter of the empire.

Besides, she was in a coma and finally regained consciousness, and she was known to be a jerk, a stupid, vicious doll…

'…Can you trust the Duke of Castline?'

‘You better keep me alive. You can take advantage of it in moderation. We know each other's weaknesses, and we even have the pretext of an engagement relationship to hang onto. No, you can kill me at any time, but you don't have to, do you?'

A smiling face, like the bloodline of an unparalleled ruler.

‘Are you going to use the Duke of Castrine?'

‘Let's say it's mutual assistance.’

Watching Titania speak in an infinitely serene manner, Rayman thought.

‘…Maybe that imperial girl wants to devour the royal family with a card called the Duke of Castrine.’

The tears that he saw when Catalina, the eldest daughter of the Count of Orland, and Rayman danced...

‘It wasn’t sincere? No wonder, she was already aware of the whereabouts of <Wrath of Flamberge> at that point… Until the very end, you've been trying to spot my weak points?’

Even though he was indoors, it felt like the air was freezing. The power of information in which no one noticed.

An imperial princess who couldn't even enter society and didn't have any of her own people in the palace.

‘When did you start planning?’

'In case of misunderstanding, let me tell you in advance, Duke Rayman'

She had to show the maids. Laughing and dragging a well-laid tablecloth, throwing it away and smashing everything on the table to the ground.

Titania said lastly, not caring that her fingertips brushed against a broken piece of glass.

'I don't mean to force the little Duke to get married. You don't have to worry.'

‘…’

If the Duke of Castrine was to harness his own power, the engagement might have been just an excuse.

It is difficult for a powerless princess who has no power or legitimacy to devise a plan quietly without checking everyone.

So all the actions so far, were they to probe Rayman?

'Oh, and I'm going to act like a crazy person in front of others, so don't be surprised.'

…Rayman had never felt so agitated since he found out about 'Titania'.

"…I must see the Lord.”

"What?"

I don't think it's a matter that I should judge by myself."

At Rayman’s stern words, Cassian closed his mouth from awe.

(First person pov)

"How dare you lie to me!"

It was literally a lion's roar.

My ears hurt so much that the maids' eardrums are probably in worse shape. Of course, that's the sound I made while breathing through my stomach.

With all my might, I threw away and destroyed the pot, the chair, the bottle, and everything that got on my hands and feet.

Splash! Clink!

"Y-Your Royal Highness Titania!"

"Take out your anger!"

I'm so excited. I love this mess the most in the world. Especially if it's a mess that makes me suffer from the people who've been screwing me all the time!

And, of course, the rats, who were trying to dig up and find out what I was talking about with Rayman, couldn't get out of their seats even as they were hit directly by my anger.

But I didn't throw it directly. The debris just splattered here and there. It's not just a day or two when the grumpy royal family breaks the furniture.

The First Empress and the First Prince also beat people and break things.

And above all, Titania was stupid, so even if she ran away from this place, she would sneak in later and apologize.

I mean, if I were really scared and didn't like it, I'd run away from here right away.

Being pretty is the most important thing in the world, so no matter how hard the maids work to clean me up, they can't be easily kicked out.

And that's why the first empress, Cleo, put them directly next to Titania.

She hates incompetent rats the most. Only when you learn a little bit about the conversation that the princess had with the Duke, who had barely recovered from her illness, will you get money or anything.

I opened my eyes with a sharp cry.

"You said I was the prettiest in the world even when I'm sick!"

At that moment, the eyes of the maids, who were nervously looking at the mess of the table and the room, changed.
