"Welcome back, Lady Aria. Upon hearing your arrival, His Grace is waiting for you in his study."
Ariana had just gotten off the horse carriage when Jimmy was waiting for her in front of the house. Jimmy's slightly troubled face indicated that Duke Andrew had heard of Ariana's plan. Knowing this, Ariana could already guess what her grandfather's anger she had to endure. Because unlike when she decided to break off the engagement with the crown prince, supporting Prince Raoul to ascend to the throne was tantamount to officially opposing the palace's decision. Worse still, publicly supporting Prince Raoul could charge Ariana with treason.
Ariana's plan this time is indeed very dangerous. But this plan was crucial if Ariana wanted to get rid of Crown Prince Emilio and Queen Melisa in the future.
