Chapter 32 (1/2)

Navia crossed the corridor and went to the center stairs. Then, a loud noise came from the other side.

“It’s a miracle that the Lady’s illness got better so quickly!”

“God took care of it. No matter what anyone says, the Lady is of noble birth.”

Vivian and her maids were on their way to Navia’s room, so they met in the middle.

Navia made eye contact with Vivian, who looked at her and was in a flamboyant dress and with her maids by her side.

Vivian sang to Navia triumphantly.

“Sister! I’m all better!”

A sense of superiority was felt in her voice. The expectation in the eyes looking at Navia were high. She was hoping for Navia to be surprised by the fact that she had recovered completely and hoped that she would collapse with defeat.

‘Now that I’m all better, you’re nothing.’

Vivian was saying so with her whole body.

A cold sneer flashed through Navia’s subtle smile.

Vivian flinched.

What was that just now?

Navia looked surprised before she could fully process the situation.

“What? Are you really all better?”

It was a little more boring than the reaction she wanted, but she was satisfied. Vivian smiled sweetly.

“Yeah!”

“Lady Navia is a fake who came to take Lady Vivian’s place.”

Philippa cursed Navia, saying that she was just a stand-in and could not dare being mixed up among the great nobles.

However, that was not the case for Vivian.

‘Everyone likes Sister.’

When Vivian heard about Navia’s kidnapping, she honestly hoped that she would disappear and never return. However, Wood almost died of a mana explosion from saving Navia.

When Vivian heard that, she felt like the world was falling apart.

‘Brother thinks Navia is more precious. He told Vivi to die.’

His real younger sister wasn’t Navia but her. Vivian was resentful and felt unjust.

It was like Navia came into her room saying, “This is my room now.”

The real Agnes was not Navia but her.

Even though Sister Navia was a fake!

But today, Nikan came and said he could cure her disease.

And somehow, after feeling a strange sensation that made her float for a while, she relaxed. Adults were telling stories, saying that mana was moving on its own again.

Vivian could only understand one thing.

She was cured of her illness.

Vivian’s maids spread the news so that everyone in the duchy knew that she was cured of her illness.

Then they said in unison that Vivian should enjoy all the rights that Navia, the evil sister Navia, unfairly stole.

In addition, they criticized the fact that Navia would be compared to Vivian.

Vivian saw the dress Navia was wearing. It was a shabby dress that didn’t seem to be Ansier’s.

‘That’s something a maid wears.’

On top of that, what’s with the hair pin with the pearl?

In comparison, Vivian’s dress was full of frills, lace, jewelry, and silk ribbons.

That was the difference between the real and the fake.

Vivian spoke, lifting her chin in triumph.

“Sister doesn’t have to replace Vivi anymore.”

The maids couldn’t hide their excitement as Vivian looked down on Navia and drew a clear line.

Maki, who had even more bad feelings towards Navia among the maids, did not miss the opportunity and sarcastically mocked her.

“Lady Vivian recovered from her illness, so of course you should regain your rights as the real princess. Isn’t that right, Lady Navia?”

In other words, if you have a conscious, you should back off.

Navia spoke calmly.

“That’s right. Vivian should use her true rights as a real princess. I’m here as Vivian’s substitute.”

Maki felt uncomfortable suddenly when Navia admitted it so gently.

But nowhere in Navia’s words did they come at a disadvantage.

It was decided that it was right to retire herself, so when they tried to push it, Navia suddenly spoke with determination.

“But I’ll take care of the nanny.”

Vivian didn’t understand what she was saying so she looked around.

When the maids understood that she meant Philippa’s embezzlement case, they became confused in a different sense.

What on earth can Navia do?

Navia’s expression darkened.

“I heard today that the nanny is in prison.”

“Nanny is in jail…?”

Vivian asked back blankly at the words she heard for the first time.

Navia lowered her gaze. It was a woeful appearance that would make the viewer feel more heartbroken.

“We can’t let the nanny who took care of us die.”

The maids frowned when Navia spoke plainly about death.

Vivian shouted back.

“Nanny is going to die? That’s ridiculous!”

“I think so too. So, Vivi, wouldn’t this be better for me to do this…?”

Navia deliberately stretched her words significantly, giving Vivian room to step in.

Vivian spoke sharply as Navia expected.

“No. Vivi will do it.”

“Vivi, this is a difficult job…”

Vivian was irritated.

Then, she suddenly realized that Navia was looking very anxious and nervous.

‘I got it. It’s because if Vivi solves this beautifully, Sister will really be useless.’

When she saved the nanny in the last crisis, people applauded her saying the real princess was Lady Vivian.

Vivian kindly taught Navia the reality.

“Sister, that kind of work is only for the real princess.”

Then, Navia couldn’t refute and closed her mouth in a melancholy manner.

Vivian was convinced that the answer to beat Navia was to act and say she would solve it.

Maki, who was listening, spoke with a perplexed look as the conversation flowed in an increasingly unexpected direction.
