Chapter 1237
The reason Ninetail had asked Siegfried to look after Irene was due to the latter's mental state being in a very fragile condition. Irene was no longer a princess of the Marchioni Empire. She had become a traitor to the emperor, a traitor to the imperial house, and a traitor to the empire.Once the Marchioni Empire announced her death and the details behind it, she would merely be seen as the tragic princess who had taken her own life after being defiled and impregnated by Siegfried von Proa.
Once the Proatine Empire revealed the truth, however, she would officially be labeled as a traitor to the Marchioni Empire. Her status as royalty would be stripped away, and the life she had known up until now would vanish completely.
Once being the most exalted of all princesses on the continent, she would fall to the status of a traitor. Naturally, the life of luxury she once enjoyed would disappear, as if it were all just a dream.
Of course, she would no longer be living as a lamb waiting for slaughter, but that fact wouldn't assuage the burden on her mind.
“Please look after her a little. She is quite pitiful, no?” Ninetail whispered.
“B-But...” Siegfried hesitated. He did not want to be alone with another female NPC while Brunhilde was watching. Even if he wasn't going to do anything with Irene, he did not want to do anything that could cause a misunderstanding with his wife.
“So this is where you both were.”
Just then, an unexpected savior appeared—Brunhilde.
“Dear!”
Siegfried rushed to her like a man at the gallows seeing hope and salvation. Ninetail had cornered him into comforting Irene, but Brunhilde’s unexpected sudden appearance saved him.
“Come here for a second, dear,” Siegfried said. Then, he whispered the whole situation regarding why Irene had ended up in the Proatine Empire.
