"Stay away from my husband!"
'!'
While having a conversation with the Empress, suddenly, I heard the voice of Aleriana.
She interrupted in the middle, referring to me with a title that clearly sent a ripple of silence around the nobleman's table.
All of them were already bowing to the Empress, but now they flinched at the arrival of the Princess.
'Stupid System'.
I could clearly see how, unlike how I wanted to keep the Empress and Princess both away from each other, the System settled with this outcome.
Not without giving me a warning, it sent that message telepathically to the Princess, who most probably heard it and arrived here.
But...
'What's with you?'
Yet, I couldn't help but look towards Aleriana, who had spoken up for me, but she halted mid-sentence.
Her eyes widened, and her hands were clenched together as though she didn't want to intervene.
Yet, she had done so on impulse, and now guilt began to return to her, though I didn't know what it was.
