To do this, Duke Kiellini, Simone, and Maribel, the owner of the Eileen Theater, had met privately before departing for Bertino.

From the beginning, Maribel and Duke Kielini intended to make Julietta look dead for the wife of the Marquis, who suspected Juliettas whereabouts.

However, Duke Kiellini had put in a lot of effort to find a child similar to Iris. Eventually, he risked telling Maribel the secret and asked her to get a similar child. The situation was like that, and it was a serious matter getting the body to replace Julietta.

Simone had just said, Let them think that Julietta has run away. However, Maribel opposed that: if Juliettas body was not found, the Marquise who would see her at the coming-of-age ceremony would be suspicious.

Marquise Raban, you think about a womans resentment too easily. Marquise Anais will never release her suspicion until Juliettas body is found. The Marquise will doubt that Marquis Anais is involved in this, and shell dig around in the back, wondering if hes hiding his illegitimate child. By the way, what if Princess Kiellini who has been sick, suddenly appears healthy? If she looks at the same blond hair and green eyes as her husband, shell doubt that hes the one who did it for an illegitimate child before she thinks she looks like the Duchess of Kiellini. Especially, she knows how Princess Kiellini looked like when she was young.

But its not easy to find a body her age with blonde hair and green eyes.

At Simons words, Maribels mouth went up in a gentle manner. Madam, you dont have to find a dead body. If I pay, I can get a similar kid anytime.

Simone turned blue when Maribel said that she would kill a healthy child and turn her into a corpse. Im sure you said girls with blonde hair and green eyes were hard to get when you presented Anais illegitimate child.

Duke Kiellini was angry because he thought Maribel had hidden another way.

Thats right, Your Excellency. Blonde hair and green eyes like that are hard to get unless they are born with noble bloodlines, even if its half. And even if I could find a similar child as I could, I would not be able to let a prostitute play a noble princess named Kiellini as a substitute. What if theres an aristocrat who recognizes her?

Maribel laughed as the Duke shut his mouth to her words.

Anyway, thats where the money will solve everything. Even if I dont get a girl with high-purity blonde hair and green eyes, if it is a damaged body, they are going to be cheated.

Where is it?

There is a famous hedonistic area named Under the Wings of an Angel in Lebatum. Ill go there myself.

-

Simone recalled the conversation at the time. The child, brought by Maribel, was supposed to be found dead near the theater. But since Prince Bertino was looking for a runaway maid, she was in need of another body.

The Simone who was reluctant to harm a normal person until recently, was not here now. There was only progress for her own guaranteed future.

Ive been looking for the right body, and you ask me to kill you. I cant help it. If I kill you, who the Prince is looking for, I wont have to dress up the body so much. All I can do is to get a new substitute.

Julietta sat in front of Simone, her hands together and hiding her expression as much as possible.

The woman was right. As long as she knew a great secret, they couldnt let her go.

She would never get out of here until the position of Princess Kiellini was perfectly guaranteed after making the debut in society safely.

No, even if everything is done perfectly, will they let me go?

Julietta laughed at herself for mentioning to the Duke a contract.

What good is such a piece of paper?

She laughed somewhat at the thought that she was still using the modern way of thinking. It was because she really appreciated Simone, who had awakened her to her foolish ideas.

Im sorry, Viscountess Simone. I was so angry and excited for a while. But please dont touch my luggage. This is just a request. Im asking you to accept your colleagues request.

Simone snorted at the mention of a colleague.

Colleague Yeah, lets say so. Youre right, we are in the same boat. Ill do as you say. Anyway, I didnt even care what was in your old bag in the first place. I just needed your maids clothes in that bag to do something important.

I wish you had asked me to bring it.

Simone laughed at Juliettas soft words. I just asked her to bring me a bag to reduce your hassle, but I was surprised to see you making such a fuss.

Contrary to what she had said, she must have searched the bag before. So, she knew there was a maids suit in the bag.

Maribel said you were dressed up with a dark face and fat figure. I havent seen it in person, so explain in detail what it looked like. That way, Ill prepare it for a similar girl as much as possible.

Julietta hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth. She didnt want to cooperate with this wicked woman, but she couldnt sacrifice a girl.

You dont have to get a fat girl on purpose. I was caught in disguise by the Prince long ago.

Are you saying that you were caught?

When Simones face turned hideous, Julietta waved her hand quickly. She could really die if she misunderstood her.

No, thats not true. He didnt notice my hair color, face or skin color. The Prince knows me as an ugly child with roughly-looking brick-colored hair and dark skin.

At Juliettas words, Simones expression released, and she gestured to keep speaking.

You dont even need to get a dark-skinned girl. He knows that when I was a kid, I got sick and the color of my face and neck were changed, so its enough to get just a girl with common skin color. Because I put on thick glasses, he doesnt even know exactly what color my eyes are. So, a girl with brown eyes mixed with green is fine, too.

In order to avoid killing an innocent girl as much as possible, Julietta explained diligently.

The sight reassured Simone. She didnt seem to be a cruel character, at least for her own safety. Simone had been nervous about rushing her fences because of the substitutes greed, but became gentler after seeing Julietta and decided to set her at ease for the first time.

Okay. I dont think thats hard enough to get a body with that much. But where can I get a body whose skin color is different from only the face and neck?

Only

Julietta quickly rummaged through her bag at Simones words and pulled out her make-up tools.

Here, you can apply this metum fruit juice here. Im so stuffy that I usually only apply one of these. If you mix this rubas wax with it, it wont be erased by sweat or water. Rubas wax is applied by actors so that their makeup wont be erased by the sweat from the lighting, so it wont fade unless they use gharan oil.

Simone looked down for a moment at Julietas dressing tools. She was a very clever child. After a moment of agonizing over whether the childs cleverness was good or bad for her future work, she gave Vera a nod.

When Vera accepted her disguise tools and gown from Julietta, Simone, her forehead looking worn, said, Yes, it is going to be much easier. Now get out. I know that if the prince stops the search, he will leave for Tilia right away.

The body, surrounded by a knights cloak, was brought into the office.

Killian who had been gazing at it with his blush eyes as one of the knights removed the cape as carefully as possible was silent for a while, but gave an order again, Take off the clothes.

Well, Your Highness, I understand your feelings of distress, but Im sorry that she was dead like that, and please dont take off the clothes. Oswald had backed away and couldnt even look at the body. He promptly panicked and talked the Prince down off the ledge.
