"I am aware of what rumors are going on around. So, don't worry about what you'll be speaking about. You have my full authority.." Lucien was calmly speaking like it was nothing. But Efthalia and Benjamin, who were around, were not pleased to hear the rumors about the empress going on.
All the nobles were shocked but angry at the same time. It wasn't before their faces became pale when Lucien continued.
"I am sure nothing is more intriguing than hearing the rumors that you are all desperate to send your daughters to the palace to work as a maid and maybe become His Majesty's concubine or his mistress." Lucien loved the look she was receiving. "Even those guards who work in your estate sent here are splendid. They work like there is no tomorrow. And of course, did I forget to mention the tax evasion."
"..." No one dared to raise their head and face her.
"Come on, why the sad face." Lucien smiled. "These are nothing compared to the rumors going around about me."
