Lord Liam went to the palace early on the second morning, and the Empress smelled the mixed fragrance of powder on him, and couldn't help but laugh and scold him. Lord Liam coquettishly begged for mercy and then reported that Owen Bertram had arrived in the Capital with his younger sister.
The old lady summoned Owen Bertram to the palace, originally intending to let him bring his sister along in the decree. However, Master Bertram went alone and explained to the Empress that he hadn't told his sister yet. If the marriage was successful, he would tell her so as not to disappoint her. The Empress was indeed understanding and did not blame him, even apologizing for the unexpected competition among the Five Founding Dukes.
