Marigold fell into the Yandere's arms

Chapter 52

So when I went on a trip, I was thinking of getting a title and leaving the Imperial Palace.

Although the Archduke insisted that he had no desire for the Empress, the Empress seemed uneasy about the fact that the emperor's favor was leaning towards the Empress and the Archduke.

Seeing that the Grand Duke took control of the nobility and assassinated the empress while on a trip.

Even if he was not satisfied with the treatment of the empress, the Archduke was also visited by scavengers every day.

The Grand Duke shed tears of blood at the funeral of the Empress.

He blames himself for leaving his mother alone for a trip.

After the funeral, when I woke up late, the date of my appointment with Isabelle had passed.

I rushed to run, but I couldn't meet Isabelle.

I searched all the West like a madman, but in the end, I couldn't find Isabelle or even a trace of it.

He returned to the imperial palace, thinking that he could not be alone, and apologized to the emperor.

I want to leave the Imperial Palace. I don't want to be in the Imperial Palace where my mother was poisoned.

If you give me the title, I will live quietly as if dead.

In the end, he received the title of Grand Duke in exchange for giving up the right to heir to the throne, and he began to search the entire continent as well as the Empire in earnest.

"I'm sorry. If I had come to my senses then, I would have contacted Isabelle in some way."

The Archduke bowed his head to me with a face wet with deep regret.

"But please know this. That I did not abandon Isabelle and you."

He must have brought up his painful past because he didn't want me to feel abandoned.

"I know. I don't resent you. So, don't blame yourself anymore."

Traveling around the continent for 17 years without a break, looking for only one person, is impossible without deep affection for that person.

Above all else, just being self-blame and suffering for so many years is not enough for atonement.

The Grand Duke rolled his eyes when he said that he did not resent.

His eyes were dry while his face was contorted as if he was about to cry.

I wondered how many tears would have dried up over those long years.

He couldn't even imagine how heavy the weight of remorse he was carrying.

I wanted to hold the Archduke's hand, but Edwin was wrapped around his waist so tightly that he couldn't move.

"Don't do this today. My bride will suddenly find her parents and be confused, so it will take some time to accept it."

"Right. I was just thinking too much."

The prince looked apologetic.

I didn't find my biological parents and it wasn't emotionally difficult, but I also needed time to calmly organize the facts I learned today.

In addition, I had to think about how to deal with the Grand Duke.

"I didn't think I would stay long in the Imperial Palace. When are you leaving?"

The Archduke asked Edwin.

"Originally, I was only going to leave for a week, but... ... ."

Edwin glanced at me. Then he was speaking again.
