Chapter 198: Lily War (1)
My strategy to deal with Queen Henrietta was simple.
“It has been revealed that Henrietta is not a normal ‘mademoiselle’, but is instead a female lion. A female lion that eats the male lion. She is much too terrifying to have as a dance partner at a ball…….”
I told Jacquerie.
“There is absolutely no reason to ask her for a dance when it is obvious that she will refuse. Jacquerie, we will now be making Henrietta into a ‘flower on the wall’.”
“Does Your Highness intend to avoid an all-out war with the Queen of Brittany?”
Jacquerie gave me a curious look.
“Indeed. This is like a new star suddenly appearing in high society. Outstanding beauty and absolute charisma……all the men in the ball have fallen for her. Do you know what one must do in order to bring down such a lady?”
I chuckled. Something was beating within my chest, far deeper than my heart. I’ve waited for quite a while. I managed to wait patiently. My insides had gladly endured all the stress for the sake of this hellscape that was now going to unfold. My starved intestines were demanding a banquet of fresh blood as a reward.
“By bringing all of the other ladies to one side and establishing a united alliance. No matter how glamorous one’s debut is, there is no way to survive high society if you turn everyone else into your enemy. This is the same.”
