"Would ten minutes be enough?" Claude asked, pulling out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. After patting Camellia on the head affectionately, he stood up from his seat. "I'll be back in eight."

Ian was confident that Lia would take his hand, so he'd spent the time observing the event with his animal-like instincts. When Claude was focused on Lia, Ian had discovered something.

"I am so sorry, Lord Ihar." Gilliard said, falling to his knees. He bowed low enough that his forehead hit the floor. "I beg you, Camellia. Please leave."

"Stop!" Anastasia shouted shrilly. Kieran had just revealed to the world that his mother was the mastermind behind the burglary—that she was the true culprit.

Claude walked up to her, kneeled on one knee and kissed the back of her hand, covered in a lace glove.

But the maid ended up running away with the child and died, leaving the babe all alone. So my husband and I went to Louver to bring our son back home. That baby was Camellius."

"Marilyn, I have a favor to ask of you."

Anastasia swept a hand across the chair with Camellius's name card. Camellius Bale would soon contract an unknown illness, becoming bedridden before disappearing from the world.

"But he is! It's ludicrous that you think he isn't. He has to be. He's from Louver."

He had never felt such mortification in his life. Even the breeze drifting by seemed to be mocking him. Unable to help himself, Kieran reached out to grasp Lia's hand. "No, Lia. You're wrong. Your mother never hurt me."

'Kieran! Your mother just needs some persuading, that's all. Soon, Lia will be free to live her own life far away. Then your mother will also find peace.'

'How, how could you say that? If you're going to bury it and move on, shouldn't Lia at least be happy? Look at her, Father! She's being hurt by Mother, who's still victimizing herself over the very events that you want to "leave behind." Treason, Father. Do you understand? Mother tried to frame her for treason!'

'It was so long ago. There's nothing we can do now… To be honest, that's why I've been searching for Laura. I wanted to ensure her a good life, even though it might be too late. But finding her has not been easy.'

She sat back with a lazy, satisfied smile. The marchioness had expected Kieran to receive the title of Grand Duke after he married the princess. That way, House Bale would soar above the other noble houses, including House Ihar, which was hailed as the noblest of them all.

She finally stopped in her tracks, the thorns' pain palpable and throbbing. Everyone had tried to use her for their own gain—Anastasia for House Bale's honor and to suppress her own jealousy and pain; the anarchists to advance their agenda by using her status as a faux second Bale son; the marquis to mitigate his guilt.
