When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

Chapter 23

The news of Ian’s appearance at the palace quickly spread throughout the capital despite last night’s drama.

During the 18th question, it was revealed that Ian Reinhardt was innocent and that the conspiracy of treason itself was not true.

The fact that he was nearly assassinated under the Empress’ orders, who was the real culprit, was not revealed.

That was the secret deal between Ian and the Imperial family.

Oscar vowed in front of everyone that the Duke would get back his property.

However, he would not be able to return some of the aristocrats under the Duke’s leadership, who were executed for treason.

In addition, the butler, who was forced to file an internal complaint with false evidence, was nowhere to be seen. It could be possible that he was threatened and assassinated.

Prince Oscar had vowed to thoroughly investigate the treason……but as long as the Empress lived, Ian’s injustice would not be further resolved.

At least, the result of this drama couldn’t get any worse now.

However, Ian regretted keeping Bartolt alive. If he had known the Empress would be so greedy, he would have killed that traitor.

The news of the Duke’s return spread to every direction within minutes.

As Ian stepped out of the palace, he faced a crowd of nobles.

“Captain!”

A female knight with her burning red hair tied high up, pushing through the crowd, cried out.

She was one of the eight Swordmasters candidates.

The Count Redra Reikla.

A female knight under the Duke of Reinhardt, who was among the surviving families that served him.

Ian’s knees collapsed on the ground, hardly enough for the dust to rise and fall.

“You were alive…..!”

Ian’s eyes fixed on the woman, who kneeled down before him.

The knights that followed her also kneeled down.

That longing feeling in his heart found its way to recall Laritte, who had once taken care of his injuries…..

“Count Reikla.”

He uttered, reaching out his arm to her.
