Chapter 24: 20

She was widely known in some social circles. First of all, because of vild temper and beautiful red hair.

In particular, I could not forget her face because one day I ran into her in the reception hall. And this was even before I became an empress.

“There hasn’t been an official announcement yet, and you might be mistaken for the new empress while hanging around His Majesty. You should go, hanging around your father.”

She came up and insulted me at a banquet dedicated to the success of the revolution, so how could I easily forget her?

This attack was not provoked by anything, except perhaps… maybe she looked after Raymond?

And when was announced that Raymond and I would get married, she disappeared from sight, allegedly going to study abroad…

And today it was she who blocked my carriage.

I tried not to show any emotion.

“My God, who is this if not Her Majesty the Empress?”

Clementine walked over and spoke with feigned surprise, like a comedy actor.

Clementine clapped her hands and opened her red lips, as if she was now recovering.

“Oh… sorry generously, you are no longer Her Majesty the Empress. I completely forgot about the divorce. My fault.”

She blocked my carriage on purpose.

After looking at the carriage door, you could immediately understand what kind of family I was.

The carriage was clearly engraved with the emblem of Crofts.

I sighed as I watched those red eyes full of sarcasm staring at me.

A lot of extra eyes were looking at me from the salon too, so I wanted to return to the mansion as quietly as possible.

Of course, I didn’t want to just give up the fight that was just imposed on me.

“There is so much news going around in our world that you can let anything out of your head, Clementine.”

Her face twitched as if she remembered the warning given to her at that banquet.

“Could you let my carriage pass?”

She looked at the carriage, smiled and said:

“Oh yeah. Of course. In fact, I thought that Duke himself was in the carriage.”

“What do you want to say?”

“No, nothing… But in general, there is something. It was only in the morning that the divorce was announced, and who would have thought that by lunchtime this lady would already be in the mood to wander around the salons.”

Clementine looked at me and spoke as if she was sorry for me.

“It hasn’t been long since you were kicked out of the Imperial Palace.”

“I’ll kick you out myself…”

Helen raised her voice as if she could no longer tolerate Clementine’s words and actions.

I grabbed Helen’s wrist.

“Stop it.”

Helen covered her mouth with a red face. I put on a polite smile again and looked firmly at Clementine.

“It was rude.”

“It… I guess, but it was fair.”

Clementine covered her face with a fan. However, it was easy to guess that now she smiled maliciously.

You are very decisive when you try to give me problems.

I can see what people will say: ‘The former empress made a fuss in front of the salon right on the day of the divorce.’

It was the best way to tarnish my honor even further.

Other noblewomen stared at us through the salon window.

And how can I put pressure on this upstart?

I glanced at her.

I felt that I wanted to return her favor, but that was against the dignity of the nobility.

I’m going to the distant lands anyway, so let’s do something crazy?

While I was going through these thoughts, a noise arose around us.

“Careful!”

The horse suddenly reared up.

“Milady!”

Helen rushed to cover me as the horse stamped its hoof in a puddle and muddy water rushed towards Clementine.

“What does it mean?!”

And while Clementine, dressed in rich clothes, threw down her fan and stomped away in panic, I heard a strange male voice.

“Oh, what a pity.”

The eyes of the people were fixed on the newcomer.

I also looked at the man who suddenly appeared from the carriage.

The man in the dark brown robe was wearing a hat, so it was difficult to see the face underneath.

He looked like an ordinary traveler, but I felt that his style was unusual, as was the large long sword on his back.

When I tried to get a closer look at the person, Clementine screamed:

“What the heck?!”

Clementine’s maid in a hurry approached and tried to wipe off the dirt with a handkerchief, but she could not completely erase the stains.

Moreover, the dress was ruined. In short, a walking disorder.

Clementine raised her voice, pointing her finger at the man, as if she had lost all her composure.

“You, you, do you know who I am?! I’ll show you!”

Her sobs reached his ears. He frowned.

The moment the man looked at Clementine, I saw his amber eyes peek out from under the hat.

However, it was only a moment, and the man bowed his head again and hid his face.

“Grab him immediately!”

Clementine ordered the knight from her escort.

The moment the knight’s hand touched the man, that man’s voice rang out again.

“I see your displeasure, but milady…”

“What?”

“I owe you nothing. I’m sorry, but I don’t think your escort will be able to capchure me.”

The man slightly pushed the knight’s hand away.

“Dare if you are sure of yourself!”

The embarrassed knight reached for the sword, but could not even pull it out of its scabbard.

This happened because the man had already grabbed the knight by the hand and pressed.

And the knight immediately fell to the ground.

“Ahhh!”

As the knight groaned on the ground, I saw Clementine and her maid fidget.

But this man now took over the center of attention.

In any case, he is well built physically.

The empire mainly taught fencing, but did not attach importance to the training of strength.

Although I once stumbled upon a book on body development from a distant eastern country, it was the first time someone had done such a trick in front of my eyes.

And this someone…

Obviously an unusual person.

However, the man did not even look in my direction.

“It will hurt a day or two. And you should practice drawing your sword. Otherwise, you will die before you bare him.”

Leaving a short comment, he turned away from us, as if there was nothing to look at.

Clementine took long strides and belatedly shouted to the man in the back:

“Stay there! I order!”

However, the man was already far away.

I heard the voice of the maid comforting Clementine as I watched the figure of the man.

“Enough. To fight without taking out your sword… Young lady, this man is dangerous. He must be a vagabond and a mercenary. Think first of all what people will say.”

If the situation gets worse, rumors may spread.

The maid whispered softly, but I heard her soft voice.

Clementine finally fell silent.

The figure of the man completely disappeared from sight, and I turned to Clementine.

I opened my mouth and watched with satisfaction as she puffed out her cheeks with a flushed face.

“My God, that is it with you. After all, if you hadn’t put your carriage here, you wouldn’t have gotten yourself into… into this dirty water.”

“What? What did you just say?!”

Seeing her screaming, and her eyes flashing with fire, I opened my fan.

Like she behaved with me then, I looked at her and smiled.

“Oh, I guess… but it was fair. Forgive me generously. But… Could you quickly move your carriage from here, it smells bad…”
