194 Chapter 194. Engagement, Part Vii

Regina's confident smile forced Julietta to pull up her mouth and pretend to be fine. "Thank you for telling me something good. I didn't know that at all. Now my plan will be more complete. I'm here today to get an answer to the question of whether I should or should not do what I thought. But seeing you makes me determined. I was going to see the Duke, but I don't think I need to see him. I realized that there is no time to hesitate and have an attack of conscience. Who will be the first to raise the white flag in this war?"

Julietta turned around, walked toward the bedroom door, and paused to look back. "What's certain is that even if I die, you're not going to win."

At the end of the words, Julietta left the bedroom. It seemed like Regina fell down screaming behind her, but it didn't matter.

"I'll have to go back to Dublin." Julietta walked down the stairs at a quick pace.

"Aren't you going to Vicern?"

"I need to see His Highness Killian. Ah, Sir Caden. I'd like to meet Sir Caden before I leave."

At Julietta's words, Dian guided them to Sir Caden, who was in the Oval Office.

The brown-haired, compliant man calmly greeted her at her sudden visit. She had met him while she was in Tilia for a while, but they'd never spoken to each other. Still, it was a little awkward to introduce herself as Princess Kiellini, because he knew all about her true self.

But Sir Caden blew away her troubles at once. He greeted her politely first. "Welcome, the princess."

"Happy to meet you, Sir Caden. I've heard a lot about you. I'm sorry for making such a sudden visit without any notice."

Sir Caden answered firmly, "Don't say you're sorry. There's no need for such a word as 'sudden' for the owner's return."

Julietta's eyes twinkled at his astute reply. "Did anyone visit the Duke recently?"

"n.o.body can meet the Duke, by the order of His Highness Killian. I say that he can't accept guests because he's sick."

"It looks like a lot of people are visiting."

"It's not surprising. There are a lot of people trying to see him, as he is the Duke of Kiellini."

"Please write down the names of the people who've been here. They've never been to the annex, have they?"

"No. They stopped by the main house and went back. We're blocking access to the annex at all, but..."

Julietta reacted sharply to Sir Caden's dubious tone. "So?"

"Some time ago, Marquis Marius, the right-hand man of Prince Francis, came here. He went to the lounge of the annex, saying that it was the command of Prince Francis, but he couldn't see the Duke and went back."

Julietta's head flashed up. "I see. So, the only person who's ever gotten close to the annex is Marquis Marius, right?"

"Yes, but he didn't meet the Duke in the end. He didn't even know Miss Regina existed, so he didn't think to meet her."

"Are you sure he didn't contact the Duke and Miss Regina that day?"

"Yes, I'm sure. I'll make a list of the n.o.bles who visited Tilia soon."

Julietta looked back at Dian, nodding at Sir Caden's words. "Dian, what kind of person is Regina's nanny?"

Dian answered, looking anxiously at the lady who had a fixed expression. "She was hired as a nanny as soon as Regina was born and took care of her all this time."

"It is needless to say she is loyal."

Everyone accepted Julietta's words.

"I've got to hurry back to Dublin. I don't think it's time for us to stay like this."

Julietta hurried out of the annex and asked Dian who came to see her off. "Dian, check thoroughly for Regina and her nanny. I want you to contact me directly if you find anything strange."

"Yes, don't worry. I'll take a closer look."

She thought she couldn't do anything because she was stuck there, but the sight of Regina earlier was horrifying and scary. It was worth seeing.

Dian did not forget what Prince Killian had said. She wanted to live beside her lady and Phoebe as soon as possible.

Phoebe felt sorry she only had a short meeting with Dian. Julietta was about to get into the carriage, found the two of them, and promised, "Dian, I know the reward His Highness Killian will give you after this. I'll do my best to keep the promise, so just hang in there a little longer. Sooner or later, everyone will be happy. We deserve it, I think. So trust me."

Diane's eyes were filled with tears. 'I deserve to be happy. It may have been necessary for me to get confirmation.'

After meeting the Prince, she thought it was for Lady Julietta, but she couldn't ignore the sweet rewards that would be given to her. Although she had only known her loyalty herself, Dian had sworn to herself to dedicate her life to her lady. But when the reward came in, it seemed that ashes had been scattered on her heart, so she didn't feel refreshed. But thanks to her lady, who proudly said she deserved to be happy, the cloud was cleared like a morning mist.
