Chapter 61

Ignoring Ava teasing him, he broke the seal of the second letter.

The sender of the letter was Crown Prince Oscar.

The only child of the Royal couple and the sole heir to the throne.

And a friend who cared about Ian.

“It’s His Highness, Crown Prince Oscar.”
“What does it say?”
“He wishes to visit this mansion in a week.”

The Empress would have killed the Crown Prince if she had seen him close to Ian.

Even if he was her own child.

Whenever the Crown Prince sent a letter to Ian, he had to do it in secret.

He always borrowed a servant’s name to send his message, but this time it seemed to have been sent directly under the order of the Empress.

“Nominally, he would like to express his condolences for the memorial service held a few days ago, but…. I believe the Empress is sending His Highness to persuade me to attend the exchange meeting in May.”

Thanks to Oscar, the letter was joyfully written because he was going to meet his friend, Ian proudly.

Ian returned to his office, wrote a reply, and then visited Laritte.

He stopped in front of her room.

“Laritte, are you inside?”

The door was slightly left open by the maids for ventilation.

As soon as she heard him, she jumped up from the chair.

Unfortunately, her foot getting caught in the chair caused her to trip on the floor.

“Madam!”

The maids were as shocked as if they had just been hit by lightning.

It wasn’t like that, but there was a ‘crack’ sound as if the bone was broken.

Ian, who definitely heard the sound, rushed in through the door.

“Laritte!”

Everyone was in a hurry, but only Laritte lying on the floor looked calm.

She muttered, pressing the floor with her hands as she rose.

“I fell again.”

Her voice was peaceful and undisturbed.

Ian helped her up.

“Are you okay?…… What the heck–!”

He uttered a harsh word.

This was because Laritte hugged Ian, unable to support herself on her feet.

“My ankle hurts. A little.”

Ian easily lifted her off her legs and sat her on the bed.

“You’re hurt. Hang in there, I’ll call the doctor soon.”
“Don’t treat me as an emergency patient. As I said, I just twisted my ankle.”
