nJulian remembered the violet eyes that he had seen through the gap in the books.

nHaving been trained to prevent assassinations or raids, his motor vision was remarkable. Thanks to this, he could see things quite clearly no matter how dark it was everywhere.

nShe clearly saw even the minute look of the emperor and the Cardel in the library that day.

nHis eyes were raised to the limit when they met, but they were quite impressive. Because she ran away with a loud noise like a jerk.

nOf course, it was a loudness that only sensitive emperor ears could catch.

nHe didn’t know who, but he didn’t mean to find out. It was because the only person left in the library at that time was a night librarian, and the librarian who happened to see the scene while passing by was sure to save herself.

nSo Julian hasn’t done anything since. No, he completely forgot. If only Cardel hadn’t reminded him again.

nDon’t say she’d spread it out in a novel.

nShe didn’t even get a proper education before she stepped into the palace? Pretending not to see or hear. Isn’t this basic common sense?

nJulian found it even more ridiculous in that Vivian was a user on a life contract, not just a maid.

nWhy are there so many things lost in the palace these days? This is how she repays the favor she received from the imperial family.

nShe was a world-class writer, and she was just going to catch him and accuse him of degrading the emperor. If that were the case, Cardel would be sad and disappointed, but Julian would not be the kind of person to show such delicate consideration.

nHowever, the investigation into Vivian revealed an unexpected fact.

n“I mean, she was originally the only woman in the Count Marten family…”

nIf her life had gone smoothly, she might have been educated as the only heir to the family by now, or she might have already been a housekeeper. If it hadn’t been for Count Marten, who was hit and killed by a wagon in debt.

nIn fact, it doesn’t even belong on a surprising axis. The past of a woman who abandoned her family and signed a life contract despite her confidence in a noble woman could not have been ordinary.

nWhat shocked Julian the most was that she was a writer sponsored by Aiden himself.

nAlso the only one.

nHe heard she’s a famous writer. If this is how it was, he can’t kill her.

nJulian thought little of it at first. However, he was surprised by the words of the aide that followed.

n“They say she’s been given a long vacation by the authority of the Grand Duke of Valentine for some time. The Grand Duke did not immediately go down to the estate, but stayed with Vivian Marten in the capital.”

nWhat kind of woman was she to do that for her? No matter how book-crazy brother is, it was a favor going too far.

nWas she a lover or something?

nNo way. My brother also has eyes for women.

nIt was that moment. Julian recalled in the not-too-distant past that he had held on to Aiden, saying, Hold on to anyone and go out with them.

nHe sprang up from his seat with a pale face.

n“No, but you can’t just grab anyone!’

nJulian said, ‘Anyone’ as in a noblewoman from a prestigious family and must be true, wise and thoughtful. There was a minimum condition that Vivian was from a prestigious family, but abandoned the family name and did not fit all the other conditions.

nNo, it just doesn’t fit anywhere. Isn’t it exactly the opposite?

nJulian wanted to oppose the two very violently. However, interfering with it now has also lost its form. He was the one who asked him to bring anyone.

nThe emperor summoned the Great Duke to the palace on that day and implied.

n“Dear brother, do you know any librarian who has purple eyes?”

n“……why do you ask that?”

nAnd for the first time that day he could see Aiden’s face distorted like a demon. He couldn’t even say if she was his brother’s lover.

n“Are you concerned?”

nAiden asked back, and Julian was silent. The atmosphere was as if a stabbing would occur if he said he cared.

nWhen he was unable to touch Vivian hastily, he began to burn with a sense of duty to check the woman out with his own eyes.

nHow can she use him as the subject of my novel because she cooked a naïve brother who only knows books and a foolish Cardel who can’t say anything?

nIt’s more than he can ignore and overlook. Already in Julian’s head, Vivian has begun to establish herself as a fox with a million tails.

nAs soon as darkness came, the emperor sneaked to the library.

n“Good night.”
