Egran quickly disappeared from Andressa's sight. He did not understand what the man meant. However, Andressa did not bother with the threat. Now he continued his journey back to his residence.
Meanwhile, at the residence of Duke Fidel, at that time there was a meeting between nobles who were under the orders of the queen mother. One of these nobles was Count Ewald, Miria's father.
"What should we do now, sir? The Queen Mother is not clear where she is. We can't move without orders and protection from the Queen mother."
"Right, sir, honestly the more here the Emperor becomes aware of our dark business. Are you sure you'll just let it go until the Emperor finds out that we're henchmen of the queen mother?"
Duke Fidel let out a rough sigh, his countenance showing how frustrated he was at the moment. There are various ways he thinks about how to deal with the problems that are happening. But all he found was a dead end.
"Now the influence of the girl named Andressa is increasingly dominating the people. In fact, none of them protested about Andressa's status as a commoner. Plus my clinic is on the brink of being destroyed by that girl" Count Ewald said.
"I understand the situation we're in. However, we must not be rash in making decisions. Do not let our movements have been known by the Emperor," said Duke Fidel.
"What's your next plan, sir?"
Duke Fidel did not answer. He thought for a moment in the bewilderment.
"I will use my daughter to tempt the emperor. That's the only way. At least we should make the relationship of the emperor and Andressa tenuous. Do not let them get closer because their closeness is a threat to us. The power of the emperor became greater when Andressa became his fiance."
The nobles who were in the room agreed on Duke Fidel's explanation. That's what they can do now. There is no better way than that because the root of the problem starts from Andressa.
"I agree, now we can't do much. At least we should destroy the relationship between the two of them."
Their meeting ended peacefully without any uproar. They obeyed Duke Fidel's words very obediently.
When all the nobles resigned, Duke Fidel asked Count Ewald to stay because there was something important to talk about.
"Count, Miria and Gibson's relationship isn't okay, is it?" ask Duke Fidel.
Count Ewald flinched. It's true that her daughter and Gibson's relationship is on the brink of separation. They often quarrel until Gibson sometimes utters a word of broken. It was fortunate that they did not really part, so the relationship between the two families was still tightly intertwined until this moment.
Count Ewald replied, "I'm sorry, sir, it's true that my daughter and your son's relationship is strained. Sometimes I hear Young Master talking about Andressa. That's why my daughter is often emotional."
"Have your daughter get pregnant with Gibson's child soon."
Count Ewald's eyes widened in shock at Duke Fidel's words.
"What do you mean, Sir? Pregnant Young Master's son?"
"Yes, I'm not gonna let Gibson get close to that commoner again. Maybe our plan got messed up because of this, so get your daughter pregnant with Gibson's kid to tie her up. We'll talk about their marriage."
"Good, Sir."
