Oddly, he only appeared whenever Rachel was up to something suspicious.

Then, she suddenly realized something was strange.
Why does he keep helping her?

Then, receiving the Emperor’s confession, she realized something.
The man who had always been so confident crumbled before her.
“Don’t go to the Imperial Palace. Can’t you just stay with me at my estate?”
“……”
His trembling hands grasped the hem of her clothes. It seemed the Duke’s real son had genuinely fallen for her.
