[Olivia’s POV]
“Olivia!! What have you done!?”
“B-but, Liliana-sama! Why do I have to apologize on my knees to that scumbag? You’re a member of the royal family, and he’s nothing more than a useless piece of garbage without any talent in magic or martial arts, despite being from a ducal family!”
Confused by the scene before me, I asked what was happening.
I recently reported to His Majesty the Emperor that Kaisar’s recent activities appeared suspicious, and I believed that Kaisar would get crushed and peace would come. Yesterday, I got informed that Kaisar was being apprehended, and I felt relieved that I would no longer have to suffer or be made a fool of by Kaisar.
However, upon sharing this news with Liliana-sama, I was taken aback when she fell to her knees, prostrated herself on the ground, and begged for forgiveness. She claimed she was innocent and not responsible for the previous day’s incident.
Why? Why does Liliana-sama have to kneel and ask for forgiveness from this scum?
Upon examining the situation, it became evident that my initial report to His Majesty about Kaisar’s suspicious behaviour and that of his cohorts may have triggered Liliana-sama’s distressing response.
However, I refuse to accept responsibility for Liliana-sama’s kneeling. Kaisar’s actions are to blame, not mine.
Hence, it is Kaisar who should kneel and apologize, not Liliana-sama. With this in mind, I urged Liliana-sama to cease kneeling and informed her that Kaisar ought to be the one apologizing.
To my surprise, Liliana-sama didn’t just become furious with me but demanded I kneel and apologize to Kaisar. How did this situation escalate so quickly, and where did things go wrong?
I am currently in the dark about this matter since Liliana-sama and the other nobles have been strangely silent. Nevertheless, if I can endure this moment of humiliation, I trust that the Emperor will soon take decisive action against Kaisar.
Kaisar’s act of biting the hand that feeds him will not go unpunished by the Emperor. Therefore, I can bear this humiliation, knowing that Kaisar will face the consequences of his actions in due course.
Just as I believed the worst was behind me, Liliana-sama suddenly berated me for my previous actions.
