The Marriage Of The Crown Prince And His Wife (3)

However, there were more who had recognized Liliana’s face. Liliana reassured the anxious Kian and urged him to go to work.

How can this happen!

“They are dragging away a young lady of the Marquis Family, what can I do…?!”

Kian felt dizzy when the maid cried and told him. The guard came to the disturbance, but he couldn’t do anything when he heard that someone was taking the lady who ran away from home.

“Where did they go?”

“To the south gate! I don’t know if they’re still in the city…”

The Marquis of Wenson was different from Rowena’s father, Paul Adelia. He would take it out on Liliana, but there was a high possibility that he wouldn’t commit direct violence.

No matter what, Liliana was the only child of the Marquis.

Kian was immediately on his horse. In preparation for this situation, Rowena gained Liliana a new identity by using laws that accept immigrants in the Empire.

As such, Liliana married and registered with Kian. The Marquis may claim the rights to Liliana, saying she was his daughter, but Kian also has similar rights.

In this case, if Liliana was already an adult and married out of her own will, it was often ruled in favor of her husband.

However, I cannot be called an aristocrat or a full imperial citizen.

Although he had a status as an imperial citizen, the fact that he was a mixed race of Suin people had always hampered Kian. Because of that, it will be hard to tell whether he will win or lose this fight.

I can’t do it alone! Someone…

What came to Kian’s mind was Rowena, who he was told was going to have a wedding tomorrow. He was sure she’d help him and Liliana.

The problem was the Marquis.

Due to his temper, if he knew that Liliana secretly married Kian, he was likely to bring another noble Lord and force him to marry Liliana.

Thinking that time was running out, Kian rushed the horse.

“I didn’t know this would happen…”

The duke suddenly asked at the words of the man scratching his cheek in confusion.

“What didn’t you know?”

“Uwakk!”

The man freaked out and backed away from the duke. He calmed his beating heart and looked at the duke.

“I-I almost lost my heart!”

“If you almost lost it, it’s better to lose it. More than that, what do you mean you didn’t know things would turn out that way?”

“That’s…”

Damon’s aide scratched his cheek and opened his mouth.

When he went to the temple with the Duke about two months ago, he said that he couldn’t forget the face of the bride who was having the wedding, so he thought about where he might have seen her.

Then, he remembered the portraits of all the young ladies that had been sent to the duke, and checked them in the warehouse. She was one of the young ladies who stood out among the many portraits, so it wasn’t too difficult to find her face.

Liliana Wenson.

When he thought that it must be the daughter of the Marquis of Wenson, he remembered the rumors floating around the capital. It was that the daughter of the Marquis Wenson had disappeared.

She ran away with a common merchant?

He heard she left for the South, but this was the North.

“So what?”

“T-that fact came to my mind while I was talking at a club a few weeks ago. It was just a passing remark, but it must have reached the Marquis’ ears…”

They were in the capital to attend the engagement of the crown prince and Lady Adelia.

Damon also had ears, so he has heard rumors that the Marquis of Wenson went down to the provinces without attending the crown prince’s engagement.

“I heard that he went down to the North five days ago, so if that lady is Lady Wenson, I wonder if I’ve ruined the lives of a prosperous couple…”

Damon also remembered the woman’s face in the temple at that time. Her face, holding the man’s hand, seemed brighter than anyone else’s.

“It could be someone else who looks like her.”

“M-maybe?”

“If it was Wenson, we would know within two or three days anyway.”

Cecil, the crown prince, didn’t reveal it openly, but he was dissatisfied with the Marquis of Wenson.

In the midst of this, he would have to skip the engagement and the various events that followed for the Marquis, so he would come up in a hurry to congratulate the crown prince and his wife.

“Did I make a couple unhappy?!”

“It’ll be funny if you actually did.”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s funny! W-why did I say that… I shouldn’t have drunk brandy!”

Looking at his screaming aide, Damon clicked his tongue.
