nMiraila was about to go to the mansion.
nThe dress was a calm purple and beige that was just right for the bride’s mother to wear.
nEven her voluptuous bosom that she had always been proud of were not exposed today.
nHer hair was twisted gracefully and decorated with gold trinkets that did not shine excessively.
nIt was beautiful enough though.
nMiraila got these dresses and accessories for today.
nIt was too late when she thought she should. Most of the seamstresses showed a sense of embarrassment, saying that reservations were full.
nAs usual, if she swayed and prevailed, there would be a place to succumb.
nMiraila didn’t do that.
nHer clothes and jewelry were her pride, but what she needed this time was not the clothes to wear when she and the Emperor’s arms joined, but the clothes to wear as the bride’s mother.
nShe did not want to flaw herself at the wedding.
n‘No matter what, isn’t it my daughter’s wedding?’
nThat was the first thing she thought of after coming to her senses after being stuck in a room crying and angry for a few days.
nEvery time she thought of Artizea’s wedding, a hot fireball rose in her heart.
nMiraila, lying in her bed, hit her chest several times. She howled and got mad.
nShe was angry and she could not stand it. She felt sad and resentful just imagining it.
nMiraila believed that her resentment was her anger towards Cedric.
nHowever, the wedding was allowed by the Emperor, so she couldn’t help it.
nShe couldn’t have told Lawrence it was helpful too.
n‘Tia, how can that timid and stupid thing get married properly and start a new life without my help?’
nThe reason she hasn’t been contacted so far is because Artizea was encouraged by the people around her. There is no man who keeps a straight face and intentions.
nPerhaps she was virtually imprisoned by Cedric.
nAs she thought so, her mind was a little at peace.
nEven Artizea couldn’t contact her, so Artizea is sure to be anxious by now.
nThey will be able to reconcile. Although Artizea rebelled and complained this time, it won’t last long.
nIf Miraila allowed her to marry, she would cry and thank her and she would ask for forgiveness. Like she always did.
nHow happy will Artizea be when she knows that her mother cares so much?
nMiraila had no invitations or contact. She only received a short letter from Lawrence saying not to come.
nMiraila didn’t believe that was what Artizea meant. This is what Cedric did.
nSo she thought she just needed to get to the wedding hall.
nNo matter how much Cedric wants to do as he pleases, there’s no way he can ignore his mother-in-law at the wedding.
nIf the Emperor also sees the way Cedric treats her, he will listen to Miraila.
nSo she quietly came to the wedding hall.
nArtizea’s maid was waiting outside and guided her directly to the mansion.
nMiraila thought as she saw that. Artizea was also waiting for her.
nBut Lawrence blocked her way.
nMiraila said.
nYou were here.
nGo back. Mother. You’re not to attend this wedding.
nLawrence said so. Just when he said that, Artizea came out of the mansion.
nHolding the Empress’s hand. With a pure gold orb in her bouquet.
nMiraila screamed in shock, but it was buried in the cheers of the guests and employees.
nMusic played by the band came from afar.
nAt some point, the maid was gone.
nMiraila was so angry that she tried to run to Artizea.
nLawrence had his servant to stop her.
n“How, how are you doing this? Are you Tia’s brother? I’m Tia’s mother. Are you intending to make her a parentless child at her wedding?”
n“It’s mother who made Tia a parentless child.”
n“What?”
n“You beat her in front of others, grabbed her hair and pulled her out. Tia left the house, and that’s why she wanted to cut off her relationship with mother.”
n“You, are you saying you’re okay with that?”
n“I understand Tia. It was too bad for me to see as well.”
nLawrence said coldly.
n“And if you think about Tia’s position, you wouldn’t have come. Would she like to go into the wedding hall with her mother holding her hand? Knowing mother’s situation?”
n“What the hell are you talking about! I’m the Marchioness of Rosan! I’m Tia’s mom!”
n“The other person is not someone else, and it’s Grand Duke Evron. My mother herself is not honorable. What does the title or the name of the marriage vows mean?”
nLawrence said pitifully.
nMiraila looked at Lawrence with a shocked face.
n“You, you, how could you say that to your mother…”
n“Didn’t I tell you not to come? There’s nothing good for each other if you come.”
nLawrence’s face was accompanied with irritation and annoyance.
n“Tia is much smarter than mother. She knows what she really needs and she knows what to do.”
nLawrence didn’t know that the Empress would choose Artizea as her lady-in-waiting, he would not have thought it would be possible, even if she said she would.
nHowever, it was a perfect solution to Artizea’s problem.
nWho would dare attack the woman who took Artizea’s hand and brought her to the altar of her wedding for reasons of Miraila’s identity or bloodline, especially when it’s the Empress.
nThis wedding will be perfect for the Evron couple.
nArtizea has said she was fine without Miraila.
nBut Lawrence didn’t know what she was going to do. He thought she was just saying she’d stand the gossip.
nHe didn’t know she could convince the Empress.
nBy the time they last met, Lawrence’s assessment on Artizea had already begun to change.
nAnd today it was completely overturned.
n‘It’s a little annoying that she didn’t tell me in advance.’
nStill, Artizea is well worth it.
nShe was enough to be the Grand Duchess Evron, she even became the Empress’s lady-in-waiting, and that was enough for Lawrence.
nArtizea gave him the opportunity to make acquaintances with the Empress. At the same time, she even showed that it was possible for him to be adopted by the Empress.
nNow all he had to do was stop Miraila.
n“Doesn’t my mother say you want me to be a prince?”
n“What does this have to do with it?”
n“Tia said that the only legal way I can become a prince is to become adopted by the Empress.”
n“Well, do you think such a thing is possible? Don’t you know the kind of relationship I have with the Empress?”
n“There’s nothing you can’t do right? Tia has become the Empress’s lady-in-waiting. It means, at least because of mother, the Empress doesn’t even consider your children like her enemies.”
n“Thinking that it’s possible, you’re saying you’re going to abandon your mom and hold Tia’s hand now?”
nMiraila’s whole body trembled in anger.
n“Did you leave the house with this intention? Even you? Saying that you’re embarrassed and you don’t need me?”
n“I didn’t say I’d throw you away. Why are you being so irrational?”
nLawrence said annoyingly.
n“I’m just telling you to be quiet for a while. Be comfortable with Father and get along. Don’t compete with the Empress or get angry.”
n“Lawrence!”
n“Then, how will me or Tia take care of it? Can’t we delay satisfying my mother’s pride after that? When I become the Emperor, my mother becomes the Emperor’s mother.”
nMiraila’s face blushed. She felt dizzy.
n“You, you’re telling me, I’m getting in trouble for some useless pride…….”
n“You’re still doing that right now, aren’t you?”
nLawrence said.
n“When the Empress is in the bride’s mother position, what are you going to do? Will you go and grab the Empress’s hair and drag it? Or will you go next to Father and act as the mother of Grand Duke Evron?”
n“Lawrence!”
n“If mother comes out, the wedding will be ruined. Nobody wants that. How is mother going to stand before the Empress? If Father is angry, how are you going to deal with it?”
nMeanwhile, the wedding continued over Lawrence’s shoulder.
nThe empress took Artizea’s hand and headed in front of the altar.
nWhen she returned, the Empress took the Emperor’s hand and came out.
nThe two seats were prepared side by side at the table. A congratulatory address from the archbishop was heard.
nFlowers sprinkled, and the sword fell. Young choir sang a hymn.
nKnights of Grand Duke Evron followed with a loud voice and buried the voices of the choir.
nMiraila was weeping.
nShe wiped her tears with her palm. The makeup smeared black and red.
n“I didn’t know you would do this to your mom.”
n“Go back. I’ll see you after the wedding.”
nLawrence said with concern that the wedding would be over.
nThe Empress will probably return immediately after the wedding.
nSince Artizea once pulled the Empress from her palace, it is possible that she will continue to meet the Empress.
nBut there won’t be many chances. Every minute, every second was precious.
nMiraila knew Lawrence was glancing at the wedding. She also figured out why.
nShe felt as if the world had turned around.
n“What did Mom do to you.”
n“Go back, mother.”
n“What did mom do to you ……. I only want you to be successful…….”
n“So you have to help me do it well.”
nLawrence said. Now, the way she spoke to him changed as if she could understand.
n“Do you think this will work out?”
nMiraila muttered in vain.
n“The only thing in the world left to believe in is blood.”
n“Yes, I believe in that too.”
nAnd for Lawrence, the Emperor is also his blood.
nRealizing that, Miraila was out of her mind.
nLawrence approached her and gently wrapped her shoulders. And he said so sweetly,
n“First, go back and take a rest. After sleeping, your reason will come back.”
n“That’s enough.”
nMiraila snapped at Lawrence. Then she turned around.
nShe felt as if her stomach felt empty. There was a small amount of despair.
n“Madam!”
nThe maid, who had been watching Miraila about to fall, quickly supported her.
nLawrence ordered his servant.
n“Take mother home.”
n“That’s enough.”
nMiraila said in a split voice.
n“Even if you don’t keep an eye, I’ll go back in peace.”
nShe was confident that she knew men better than anyone else. The man with that voice had already ousted her from his heart to the point that he didn’t even want to be pretentious.
nEven if he was her son.
