The last new year party last week was both happy and annoying for me. I was happy that finally I attended a party without Olivia getting all the attention from the people. But it was also annoying that bad things happened during the party. First Francis was appointed as the crown prince and the emperor himself didn't talk about this with the nobles before.
It became more annoying that there was no one who protested openly during the announcement. But I heard during the meeting some nobles protested with it. I hoped it went well and Roosevelt became the crown prince. If that happened, then the Ashford family would raise and my family would also raise. Not only that, they would treasure me too as someone who had helped them.
