Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter - Chapter 202

Conference

“Ed, you must remember, that you’ve said before, even if you are later known as the one who took away the throne, it’s something that must be done..”

“But Yuri has nothing to do with it!”

“Yet, Ms Yuri is not a member of the royal family, but in fact she appeared in this place from the door only allowed for royalty and used funds from the budget of the royal family in the past. She used all this time the name of the royal family without having any title as royalty. This is no other than a misrepresentation of the royal family, or is she already married to you, Edward? Priest Rafshimons can you confirm their marriage?”

“No, there is no such record in Darryl’s church.”

“Then that woman must also be imprisoned.”

“It is me…! It’s all my fault! Don’t touch Yuri!”

Ed still wants to protect Yuri with all his might.
You stand on front of all risks for her … did you love her so much?

“The biggest problem is that in the case you had taken the throne, you would not have ruled by yourself, so she also has a blame for this… but if in her place you were the only one to be caught, that person has an extra sin since there is evidence of her wrongs. Please take that prisoner with you …”

“Please wait! Prince Alfred! How can you his brother act like this towards your younger brother … This is too much! Please rethink this!

Yuri opposed the guards while trying to approach Prince Alfred.

“If it is an ordinary younger brother, I never would have acted like this, but him…”

Misunderstanding the words of Prince Alfred, her eyes the brightened as she thought there was still a possibility of accomplishing what she had hoped for.

“But we are royalty, even a drop of blood flowing through our bodies is for the kingdom, if our existence is only a harm to the kingdom, it’s best to remove it.”

His eyes that looked to her so sweetly had a serious color, and his voice had a chill as to slash the air in the field.

“How! can it be…. something like that…”

She sheds tears weakly, suggesting a desire for asylum and protection.
Several people were feeling as if they were sympathetic to her while imagining as if it was their fiance being captured…

Prince Alfred approaches her.
She stared at him as if to beg protection from him.
I am mostly disgusted by this… I really want to shout with all my might to not look at him with such eyes.

“It seems that a lot of your friends were introduced into the palace… Everyone of your people…including your friends have left..  and it is better for you not to think that they will help you after being caught.”

“… What …!!”

He murmured something to her ear.
And that whisper let her perplexed and trembling. I do not know what that whisper was about.
I do not know what it was but it must’ve been important to her…the moment he left, she suddenly collapsed on the ground staring blankly and she didn’t plea nor shouted anymore.
Her change, made everyone be stunned.

“Yuri!”

Only one person, Ed alone, forcibly pulls the restraint ropes and runs over to her.

“Yuri, are you okay? Yuri!”

Yuri does not respond to his call though.
She just only continues murmuring with empty eyes “Lies, you lie.”
Ed stood between her and the guards as if to protect her.

“She looks strange, please, bring her to the hospital!”

“Good show after being caught… Don’t delay the process anymore..”

The guards started moving again to capture them and move them to the royal prison.

“Stop it! Yuri!”

Yuri was just shedding tears in silence.
Ed reached for her to grab her hand and insulted coldly the guards while trying to observe her..
Dean made gestures to the guards and they moved faster than before.
The knights advance accordingly to the orders.

“Well, the story has derailed from the main topic… Would you like to return to the subject? Bern.”
To the name that came out of his mouth, yet again I was the most surprised.

From the door behind … Bern entered, not with an air of embarrassment but walking firmly and with his head held high going to the side of Rudy and Prince Alfred.

That appearance made me want to ask if it was really Bern.
Short hair, a lot more thin than before, and a sharp air that can not be hidden from the eyes.
The sharp gaze and the atmosphere are similar to him, but before he had a sweet feeling to him that now seems to have disappeared.

Bern lowered the head in front of Prince Alfred.

“Okay, you have heard already, the voices of many foolish people who agreed with Edward’s violence and that wanted to confiscate the territory of the Duke of Almeria and Count Anderson.”

Prince Alfred smiles pleasantly.

In contrast, Bern was without any expression in his face. However, he looked around instead.
His keen eyes shot through the hall to all those people.
