"You made me use this method!"
I checked my clothes in front of the mirror before going out.
I don't like to rush into anything.
But today is an exception.
A meeting of the aristocracy will be held tomorrow morning, where the law of succession to the eldest son will be rejected or approved.
I have only one day left today.
"I hope Perez is there now."
It was when I opened the door with the intention of visiting the Monak top.
"Oh, Perez?"
Perez was at the door with one hand raised, perhaps just about to knock on my door.
"Where are you going?"
Perez asked me.
The smell of wind smeared from the man who came in a hurry.
"...To see you."
"I thought so, so I came."
"Come on in."
I took Perez to the drawing-room, putting my purse down on the table.
Normally, I'd have served him a cup of tea, but today I got to the point as soon as I sat down.
"Have you heard the news too, the law of succession to the eldest son?"
"This was the trick the Empress had prepared."
Perez nodded with a stiff face and continued.
"If it approved at the noble council, it will take effect immediately for the nobles. Then Tia, Lombardy..."
Perez seemed to be worried about me first when he heard the news about the law.
The only one who knows my goal of becoming the Matriarch.
Of course, this law, issued by the Empress, is not aimed at me.
At best, it was an attempt to tie my grandfather's hands and feet.
She can put Viese as the next Lord, or she can mate Larane, Viese's daughter, with Astana.
The Empress was trying to make my grandfather choose between the two.
However, it is my side that the empress hit directly without even realizing it.
So I understand that Perez is worried about me.
I shook my head and said.
"Once it has been proposed to the nobility meeting, it will affect the throne as well. This law is also aimed at you, Perez."
In other words, it is not the time to care about others.
But Perez said with a slightly expressionless face.
"Fortunately, it's just me and Astana who are His Majesty's sons."
...Just two?
"There is also a way for me to become the firstborn and the only son." (Savage)
"Ah..."
How to be the eldest and the only son.
That is, getting rid of Astana.
I forgot for a moment.
How Perez rose to the throne in my previous life.
He was the type to do anything for his goal.
