Chapter 134
Undercover Infiltration Duchess
Accompaniment of a Suspicious Couple (4)
Daniel, who studied abroad for a long time, also visited countries with no status system. So he knew that being of humble origin or short learning was nothing to be ashamed of or ignored.
Sometimes he heard nobles gossiping about the current Duke of Jaxen, but Daniel disagreed and would quietly leave or change the subject.
âBut I donât like the man.â
Duke of Edmond Jaxen. The reason why he is uncomfortable is not that he is envious or jealous that he is a commoner, a mercenary, or a great nobleman who suddenly even got the notice of the Spencer family overnight.
âPhilip, I advise you to keep away from the Duke of Jaxen.â
âHuh? Why?â
âDid Philip see the man as the right man?â
âNo, heâs a villain. The face is the devil.â
When Philip expressed what he thought honestly, Danielâs expression regained some peace.
Humans also become closer when they share things they dislike than when they share things they like. Daniel stroked the back of the young crown princeâs hand with praise.
Much younger than him, Prince Philip was as friendly as his brother for Daniel, who had no brothers. Daniel advised with a stern look to a younger brother and dear friend who would rule the empire after the current Emperor.
âArrogant and self-righteous. It is not the attitude of the right gentleman to ignore his wifeâs intentions and to force her recklessly.â
âHuh⦠was it?â
âYou can tell from her attitude toward the Duchess of Jaxen. Itâs the man who always leads the way. Such an unruly man cannot respect his spouse.â
Heâs had a few encounters with Edmond, but the circumstances were good enough for Daniel to build bias.
When he accidentally stepped into the box seat of the Jaxen family, the Duchess was crouching on one wall. He tried to help her, who seemed uncomfortable, but the Duke of Jaxen wanted to kick him. If he didnât avoid it quickly, heâd probably get hit in the side.
âA man who uses violence in front of his wife is not a gentleman.â
Was the next time they ran into each other in the back garden? She almost fell into a mud pond and took the time to dry her shoes. A man who trusts his wife wouldnât be so blatantly wary if he saw them coming together in patronage.
All the more so because it was confirmed that there was nothing immoral between the two.
âThe Duchess of Jaxen is a soft-hearted woman, so if she were forced to wield it, she would have had no choice but to follow it.â
In Danielâs view, the Duke of Jaxen was an evil devil, and the Duchess of Jaxen was like a poor princess who the devil possessed. Whether she was afraid of the devil or threatened, she was clearly living with no choice but to escape by her will.
Didnât even the mirror of truth say? The chance of a fateful love between the Duke and Duchess of Jaxen is zero.
âThatâs amazing. Iâve never seen Daniel speak ill of anyone.â
âNo, Philip. Iâmâ¦!â
Danielâs ears turned red when he realized he had sneered at a man in front of a child who wasnât there. Daniel quickly turned his head, covering his ears.
âOh no, it looks like weâre talking behind his back. Iâm sorry, Philip. Please forget what I just said.â

âWhy? Daniel said he didnât like the Duke of Jaxen. You canât hang out with people your friends donât like, so Iâll keep that in mind.â
Itâs not like a kid whining, âI donât like her, so donât play with her!â Daniel washed his face dry when he remembered that he had done something childish.
âNo, Philip. I acted unlike a gentleman. Itâs your job to judge. As a friend, I⦠Iâm just giving you some advice.â
âWell, so Daniel says I shouldnât be near the bad guy?â
ââ¦in summary, yes.â
âBut he said otherwise.â
âYour Majesty? What did I say?â
âIt is the rulerâs job to enlighten the villain into the right man.â
If the Duke of Jaxen is a villain, he should educate the man when he becomes Emperor later. It was a childâs delusion who didnât know the reality, but Daniel realized Philipâs mind.
He doesnât know if heâs self-aware or not, but Prince Philip seemed to like the Duke of Jaxen quite a bit.
âAnyway, I hope the Duke of Jaxen will come to the banquet today. Iâll run and defeat the bad guy when he shows up.â
âIf you did, youâd be in big troubleâ¦â
If the Crown Prince defeats the Duke of Jaxen, it is a clash between the Imperial family and the Duke. It is because the crown prince is ignorant to spit out the neglectful sound of dividing the empire.
Daniel ended up smirking. He called the maid and tried to fill Philipâs empty cup with chocolate, and the doorkeeper cried out loud.
âThe Duke and Duchess of Jaxen!â
The voices of the nobles gathered among themselves were cut off. Everyoneâs eyes turned to the doorânobles, Emperors, Empress, as well as Crown Prince Philip and Daniel.
The shining door opened, and the Empireâs best newlyweds appeared.
âIâm sorry Iâm late, Your Majesty. Her Majesty.â
Time seemed to stop for a moment. With her hair curled up gracefully, the people in the banquet hall even forgot to breathe and looked at her.
Their eyes naturally stayed on her necklace thanks to the simple design of the dress that emphasizes the silhouette.
âNo way, thatâs the rumoredâ¦!â

âI think thatâs right. I heard it was a diamond that hit 4.9 billion Lunds at auction.â
â4.9 billion Lunds? No way!â
âThey put a price on it to commemorate the Duchess of Jaxenâs birthday.â
âOh, my God.â
From here and there came astonishment or admiration, some lamentation. No matter how precious jewelry is, the price stops at tens of millions of Lunds. The most expensive gem theyâve ever known would have been a red diamond with 85 million Lunds.
