Chapter 25: Thorny Lady Nadine
“I’m going to knock that twisted attitude of yours back to normal! You can thank Father for sending me!!”
Nadine is the daughter of Lord Warung, Richter du van Warung, who holds the largest fief among the remaining neutral nobles. She had a father-complex and everyone knew this.
This was the first thing she had said to me when she came to me and saw my face, and she had even said this in front of the nobles from the Chancellor and Regent factions.
How can Lord Warung send her here?
◊♦◊♦◊♦◊
Lord Warung had a fief on the southern border and had little to do with the court. He is from a ‘military’ family, and although his fief is about one-fifth of Lord Raul’s, his military power was said to be ‘comparable to Lord Raul’s army’.
This was an aristocrat who I would like to have as an ally when I gain real power.
Nadine, the daughter of such an aristocrat, is a year younger than me, but she has been flaring up at me like this every time we meet ever since I first met her. She is prideful, foul-mouthed and fearless. I heard that she was known as the ‘Thorny Lady’.
