Tamed the Monster Prince - Chapter 12.2

She responded to the reprehensible effort to implicate someone else in her error with a sarcastic smile.

“I am paying attention to your narrative at this time.”

A sense of apprehension spread among the servants. All eyes were on Eltha, with a look of trepidation, as if they were expecting to observe Irena’s reaction.

Was Obsidian Place not part of your original plans before its opening yesterday?

“No…”

Irena refrained from addressing the issue of elongating her query.

“Where were you from?”

Eltha paused upon Irena’s inquiry regarding her association. After a while, she reiterated her question as if requesting additional information.

” Eltha, affiliation.”

“I was responsible for managing the jewelry at the Obsidian.”

The security guard in charge of the jewelry also took excellent care of the precious stones and luxury goods. In addition to that, the Obsidian is the monarch’s place of residence.

It would be a breach of honor for them to transition from wherever they are to this Obsidian.

Irena has determined the cause of the disruption that occurred earlier today.

“Even if you were employed as a maid at Obsidian, now that you are under my supervision, you must address me as your superior.”

“Of course!”

Eltha swiftly shifted her demeanor and attempted to compliment Irena. She still appeared to be irrational.

“From whom did you receive the directive to arrive here?”

“Per the request of Lady Elvira, the Countess.”

Even if the employee of Obsidian was a maid, the command came from the Queen’s confidant. Therefore, they could consider themselves to be in the service of the Queen.

Irena has gained insight into the purpose of her presence here this morning.

“Hm.

Irena observed Eltha scrutinizingly, noticing the tension evident in her stern expression.

“Your presence tarnishes Lady Elvira, the Countess’s, reputation.”

“…Yes.”

Eltha was shocked to hear the name Countess Elvira, as were the maids standing behind her. After some time had passed, the mood changed, and a new tension became apparent.

The Empress’s trusted advisor was more feared than the Crown Princess alone. It didn’t occur to them that Irena would become even more enraged by this.

“It is my pleasure to inform the Countess of your presence.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

Eltha then desperately grasped Irena’s feet.

“Go.”

Despite the authoritative request, she remained in place and began to cry.

“Your Highness, I humbly apologize for my mistake.”

When Eltha heard the name of Elvira, the Countess, she finally admitted that she had made a mistake. She acknowledged that the entire situation was her fault and that she had been a naive person who had made a mistake. She also admitted that she had been the one who had caused the problem. If Eltha had not been the one who felt threatened, it would have been better to instill a greater sense of dread.

Error, culpability, error… In the end, all of this started when you showed up bright early in the morning and demanded immediate discipline.

It makes no difference whether Delphina handled her belongings because it has no bearing on the situation.

It is not appropriate for these issues to be left up to the discretion of the master; instead, they should be dealt with by the maid’s supervisor. If Eltha’s slip-up is allowed to go uncorrected, the master will be tested by the situation.

Irena’s response to their attitude is an assessment and ranking of their merits. Suppose she is treated disrespectfully in any way. In that case, she will immediately step up to the challenge and demonstrate why she deserves respect.

‘The bride will likely experience a lot of emotion on a rainy day.’

Irena had been sitting immobile ever since the morning of the wedding, and it was likely due to the embarrassment that she had experienced. This presented a challenge that needed to be accepted, and it was necessary to do so.

She is obligated to take whatever steps are necessary to flourish in this palace and uphold the standards that have been set.”Is it your intention to create further disruption here? I prefer to avoid any other disorder. Let us depart this location without drawing attention.”

“Your Majesty!”

“They said she stole something…”

Countess Celestine had given the bride a gift commensurate with her station in life in addition to the dowry. It was not known what the article was. Nevertheless, it was not an excessively extravagant gesture. Something else was of greater significance, regardless of whether or not it was present at the time.

‘Delphina touched the Majesty’s belongings.’

When she thought about her dream the night before, she wondered if it was just a coincidence that both plans featured the same subject matter, Delphina sobbing.

When she thought back to the previous night’s dream, she was confident that she had heard the name Delphina in there somewhere. Because it is such a common name, the similarity may be a coincidence, but it could also be something more.
