The investigations don't bring up anything useful, and the guards confirm that the orphanage has nothing to do with it without ruining Ignis's image.
Luckily, my dear husband is a fast learner. If he was as harsh as usual, people would have talked about his cruelty this time as well.
However, gossip sure is weird. The Marchioness was right about it being a weapon like many others.
Since the moment Ignis appeared in Mavale to fetch me from my charity mission, people in the slums have started talking about the legendary love between the King and the Queen. They say I've changed his heart, curing him of the curse and rotten morals of before. After kidnapping me, he fell in love and became a good person.
It's a pity all of them will never know that Ignis has always been a good person, but it's better than the other option.
