This meant that Rowena might try to change the Adelia family to gain power. Cecil was already planting people around Rowena who could help.

First of all, there was proof that Lady Edith was among the maids. As a young girl of the Marquis, she was one of the knights recognized by the crown prince.

She was also a high-ranking aristocrat and a line-up.

She had said she didn't like her job at first, but recently, she seemed to like it.

She must be a good-natured woman because she can deal with the picky crown prince.

If it was just for beauty, it was right to insist on Lyria Wenson because she was a beauty that was desired across the empire.

Rowena, in comparison, was in a situation where she was compared to Lyria and laughed at by the young people.

“Lord.”

A contemplated young lord approached Daniel. Unlike the Duke, he was a low-class aristocrat who was eager to become an upstart and spend money on high-ranking nobles.

“What's going on?”

Daniel spoke nonchalantly, but his expression was unusual. His expression changed when he whispered something in Daniel's ear.

“Is that true?”

He nodded with a pale face. Daniel put down the glass he was holding on the window frame.

This was to report to the crown prince.

Ralph didn't approach the warehouse until it was completely dark. It had to be late for anyone to move around for him to go to the warehouse with the necessary axe and sword that could be Theo's weapon.

He pushed the ax and sword into a large hole in the door, and he seemed to take it quietly from inside.

When the sword disappeared, Ralph quickly left the place in case someone saw him.

Theo, who had been waiting for it all day in the room, was satisfied with the sword and the ax. Ralph cleverly did not steal from the knights' quarters, but rather took the one hidden in Theo's room.

Theo's room was equipped with a practice sword and a spare sword. Ralph brought him the spare sword. Theo pulled out the sword, checked its condition, and smiled.

Now he just had to wait for when his father and Matthias left for the palace tomorrow. The remaining people in the house would not stop him.

Relieved, Theo tucked the sword and ax into the cushion of the sofa he used as his bed and lay down beside it for a long time to sleep.

He was worried about Rowena, but he didn't think it would happen the next day right away.

For now, the situation itself was ridiculous to take place at the Imperial Palace. It was impossible because the security of the palace was very tight.

Damn it. I'd be in trouble if I couldn't get out tomorrow.

After leaving the room, he was going to take Louis out of the mansion in case. And he had to go straight into the palace, meet the crown prince, and accuse Matthias.

There was no evidence right now, but it was dangerous as long as the stupid Matthias joined hands with weirdos.

What the hell did he put in that thin head?

I can't believe he held a knife to Louis' neck.

Louis seemed to be shocked because he saw him as an older brother even if they were in a bad relationship. Theo remembered the way Louis looked at Matthias before he was trapped in the warehouse room.

He couldn't believe we were from different mothers. Matthias is acting like a jerk. It's been happening for a long time.

Matthias was the eldest son of the family, but if Matthias is excluded from the brothers, he will be the eldest of the three siblings. Theo felt uncomfortable. He felt that Rowena and Louis had been in such a situation because he couldn't protect them.

It's not my fault! Technically, it's…

It was Paul's fault, his father. To abuse and expose his child to violence. Theo tossed and turned bitterly. He couldn't sleep at the thought of escaping the next day.

This was a place where there was little light in the middle of the night, so there was nothing else to do but sleep.

…Mmm?

Theo looked up at the unfamiliar smell that hit his nose. It smelled different from what he had smelled in the kitchen or the fireplace.

What is it?

If it rained, it wasn't time to burn firewood. Theo rose from the sofa, walked towards the door, and realized the smoke.

It wasn't just a fire. Someone seemed to have poured oil on the mansion to keep it on fire.

Theo reflexively recalled a person who had always been the main culprit in the event of a family problem.

“Matthias…”

It was Kernan who suggested setting the house on fire. To kill Theo, who was trapped in a warehouse room, he would have to send assassins or poison them, which would make it difficult to escape the crime.

Kernan advised that if the house was set on fire, even Paul would not notice that Matias was responsible.
