I didn't know why the rumor about Olivia was hiding at the border area with Francis spread. That was supposed to be a secret between mother, Lydia and Rowan. How could such a rumor spread at almost the same time we got the news?
To solve this problem, my uncle instructed everyone on our side to move our plan faster. He asked everyone to ask the emperor and me to go to deal with Helsa. That way we could eliminate the emperor faster.
Unfortunately, the condition became worse as Lydia lost the letter from Rowan that he confirmed that Olivia was really there. This was one of the reasons why my family didn't like her as much as Olivia.
Because of her, the rumor became big and the emperor heard it. Even Duke Gordson asked to check Olivia, to find the reason why she was hunted by the Ashford family. It made us couldn't deal with Olivia since everyone looked at us.
