A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 223 – The Grand Duchess With a Tingling Sensation in the Back of Her Head

It was two days after the news of the engagement was announced that news of Alberto’s engagement reached the Grand Duchy of Galois.

If the news had been delivered through a regular letter, it would have been taken at least a week.

However, now that magical communication has developed, it is possible to contact people even on the same day if they want.

Other territories heard the news of Alberto’s engagement as soon as it was announced.

No matter how late the news was, it was delivered to the end of the Bregerne Empire within a couple of hours.

However, the news was delivered relatively late to the Grand Duchy of Galois, and there was a reason for this.

First of all, there were very few people dispatched outside to convey information to the Grand Duchy of Galois.

The time it took to go from a fiefdom that was barely enough to make a living to a grand duchy whose name was known to the end of the empire was very short.

The Grand Duchy of Galois was larger in terms of land mass than most of the imperial territories combined.

The size of the Grand Duchy of Galois could be said to be very large in the sense that if all the territories under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial family were gathered together, it would amount to a fairly small kingdom.

As the territory grew, the number of talents needed to rule it also had to increase.

Here, Irene developed her territory in a way that pursued extreme efficiency.

It was not a matter of bringing in a lot of suitable talent and having them handle the administration, as was done in other fiefdoms.

She appointed a large number of useful talents under a small number of outstanding talents and assigned them to be in charge of specific areas.

This method is different from the existing method, so Irene has less to worry about.

In addition, they prevented corruption to some extent by keeping each other in check by providing large rewards to those who reported internal corruption.

Thanks to this method, the people she appointed carried out her administrative duties without her having to give specific instructions.

Thanks to this, she was able to govern her domain from a macro perspective and became an opportunity for the Grand Duchy of Galois to develop rapidly.

Now, even if she is away for a while, her grand duchy can run on its own, and through this, she has solidified her position as her successor.

In the process, she also increased efficiency in information gathering.

The Grand Duchy of Galois’s informants spread out here and there, collecting news from all over and sending it somewhere.

If you first process the information that is credible among this news that has arrived somewhere, it becomes intelligence.

Then, this intelligence is sent to another location and undergoes secondary processing to be verified and analyzed.

In the secondary processing process, cross-verification is conducted to determine the extent to which there is a difference from the truth.

What was created in this way was ‘information’.

Irene’s informant did not send untrue news or intelligence, but only information that had been processed and turned out to be true.

Normally this wouldn’t have been a problem, but Alberto’s news was very important to Irene.

However, Irene gave the intelligence team a reward and vacation after Alberto’s appearance.

So the people who filled the place were people who did not know much about her interest in Alberto.

So, even though they received news about Alberto, they wasted time processing it.

As a result, Irene received news from Alberto much later than other fiefdoms.

“Ha…”

When Irene found out about this, she called her intelligence team and tried to harshly reprimand them.

However, when she thought about it, she realized that she was responsible for not mentioning Alberto’s importance to him.

“I never thought there would be someone who hit a player during that time.”

As soon as Irene heard of her Alberto’s engagement, she realized that she had been betrayed.

At the same time, she recalled the person who was announced as Alberto’s fiancé.

‘Nina Gratias Esselton. She was definitely a commoner-born noblewoman, right?’

Irene said she had met Nina before.

After Alberto’s disappearance, she made a great discovery and became a nobleman and professor at the Royal Academy.

She was a person with unrivaled and tremendous skills in therapeutics.

“Come to think of it…”

At that time, one more piece of information appeared in Irene’s mind

Nina Esselton.

Alberto Salihar Meydern’s personal maid.

“Yes, that’s it!”

Irene felt like all her puzzle pieces she were finally coming together.

“Nina Gratias Esselton. She was clearly Prince Albert’s maid. What she said…”

He said he spent a lot of time being close to Alberto.

Irene focused on this part.

It was thought that the reason she captured Alberto’s heart was simply because she spent a lot of time by Alberto’s side

‘If I were there.’

Irene wonders what it would have been like if she had been there instead of Nina. She had an idea.

When he gets hurt due to being misunderstood because of his appearance, she is there to heal him and take care of him.

‘Cheer up, Alberto.’

‘Thank you. Irene.’

As they do so, their relationship becomes closer and they confess their hidden feelings…

‘I love you. Irene.’

‘Me too. Alberto.’

And the moment when the lips of a man and a woman who confirmed their feelings for each other are about to touch under the moonlight!

Nina Gratias Esselton appears, kidnaps Alberto, and disappears.

―Padeuk.

Every time she thought of this, a fire burned in Irene’s head

The seat next to Alberto should have been mine!

And two words pass by her mind

Defeat.

That’s right.

Irene realized that she had been defeated by Nina.

However, she misunderstood the reason she lost to Nina.

“I was so clumsy. “I should have acted more proactively.”

Irene blamed herself for being too passive during her time at the Royal Academy.

“I should have been attacked instead. Even if it means losing her virginity.”

She thought she should have snatched Alberto even if it meant giving up her virginity.

In fact, there was a female cadet at the Royal Academy who often used her own body as bait to win over the man she liked.

There were quite a few male cadets who fell for the temptation of female cadets and ended up marrying them because of their sharp noses.

Irene thought that she should have taken her virginity to Alberto.

But she was mistaken.

Could it be that Alberto didn’t really choose her because he had very few encounters with her?

If she had given up her own virginity, would she have been able to keep Alberto?

The answer, she said, was no.

Alberto was a man who preferred older, mature women to those of his same age.

Rather than someone you can get along with comfortably, she is a woman with such charm that she usually takes the lead, but sometimes feels helpless when a man leads her.

In addition, the place that symbolized Irene’s motherhood was smaller than the place that symbolized Nina’s motherhood.

Of course, the child, Rene, was not small, but she was smaller than Nina.

And Nina was overwhelmingly large even by the standards of this world.

In other words, there was no way for Irene to beat Nina in terms of her attractiveness in the first place.

And most importantly, Irene at the time did not have any means to appeal to Alberto.

Although she is the grand duchess of a grand duchy, she is in an unstable position and can step down from her position as successor at any time.

On the other hand, although he is a commoner, he is not unstable and can be comfortably relied upon at times.

If she was given a choice to Alberto, she would choose the latter without hesitation.

A man named Alberto pursued living in peace while maintaining the established order rather than finding order in chaos.

In other words, he was a person who preferred to maintain the created order from chaos, rather than seeking order from chaos.

So Irene was fighting a fight she couldn’t win in the first place.

However, she is a woman who does not know how to give up.

“Seduce him at the imperial banquet. So he makes himself break off the engagement. Then the perception of him will worsen. What if I take him away then?”

The child, Rene, thought it was a perfect plan for her and she was smiling.

In other respects, she was a thorough and close-to-perfect plan.

But she was a bit of a fool when it came to things related to Alberto.

If people who knew her before had seen her as she is now, they would have doubted their eyes and thought they had done something wrong.

So Irene began preparing to attend the banquet to be held at the imperial palace.

She chose her s*xiest dress and even her most decadent underwear for the day.

There is only one reason why she does this.

It was to seduce her Alberto Salihar Maidern and make him her own man.
