Chapter 301
“Ah…”
As if struck by a hammer to the back of his head, Romandro let out a gasp. He had finally realized something was terribly wrong.
He scrutinized the still-unsorted tribute gifts below him, examining each item carefully.
Ian was right. Though they had been introduced as precious items like diamonds and other valuable treasures, looking at their sources revealed they all came from Burgos nobles. Hadn’t they even received separate greetings from each one?
“Good heavens, why didn’t we…”
Why hadn’t anyone noticed this? There had been countless officials in the reception room.
Jin’s expression hardened as well. While it was concerning that the officials hadn’t caught on, Ian had at least noticed and informed him. The real issue was that he hadn’t realized it himself.

Since Your Highness returned it, she will likely create a new one fitted to your physique. Clifford, without question, specially crafted three sets of traditional royal instruments. But Burgos?”
Nothing.
