*Sipping her tea*
Seth Garcia
Trading with the Obreado Empire is a crime punishable by death!
Seth Garcia
What does the Duke think of the Royal Garcia?!
Seth Garcia
Why does My Lady care to inform me about the Laurent crime?
Velicia Laurent
My Lord, I fell in love with someone.
Seth Garcia
...............
Velicia Laurent
If My Lord was able to investigate about this matter and rightfully punish the Laurent, this marriage alliance won't be further considered and you will earn recognition from both the people and the royals.
Velicia Laurent
What do you say? Is it good for you?
Seth Garcia
So you want me to play a part in here so that the marriage will be cancelled and you could marry your lover?
Seth Garcia
My Lady, such bold action won't result as good as you expected.
Seth Garcia
Beside, even if the Laurent were caught red handed, a punishment won't be inflicted. The whole Garcia Empire are scared of your family.
Velicia Laurent
Forming companionship with the Obreado meant that the Laurent are ready to sell off their country. Even this is what the royal family couldn't easily let it pass by.
Velicia Laurent
I know that direct punishment won't happen, but this will ruin the relationship between the Garcia and the Laurent which was build for more than 20 years.
Velicia Laurent
Also......
Velicia Laurent
The Martinez Ducal house are not afraid of the Laurent.
Jax Idius
My Lady, is there something bothering you?
Velicia Laurent
*Snap out*
Jax Idius
You haven't touch your breakfast.
Velicia Laurent
I don't have an appetite.
Velicia Laurent
(I don't know in which exact date Florentia was caught, but I'm pretty sure it's in this year)
Florentia, the second child born to the Martinez Ducal house was lost during the battle in Athea.
During that period, a great conflict occur between the Martinez and Laurent, thus Duke Martinez send away his wife and children to Athea, Duchess Martinez's hometown in hope that they won't be involved.
Unfortunately, the people of Athea was suddenly attack by an enemy kingdom and brought a great disaster to the people living there.
Duchess Martinez fled to the forest with her children until her foot turn bloody. She accidentally slip and fell off from a cliff with the little Florentia on her arm, and never return. Asten, who was lost and hungry in the deep forest cry everyday until his family finally came to his aide.
They were led to the place where the Duchess Martinez fell and they search day and night only in vain.
Duke Martinez blame himself for the outcome, and Asten got traumatized with the incident. They search Florentia till this day, with no great result for a long time.
After 13 years, as they publicly announced the missing person to the whole country, a good news finally reach their ears. A farmer couple who were living near Athea at that time report that they indeed found a baby 13 years ago. Turns out that after Duchess Martinez fall off from the cliff, she used all her remaining energy to look for help. She end up passing away, but her wish were blessed, as the couple spot her on their way back home. They save the child and buried her on the forest.
Duke Martinez immediately call them to the city, and send hundreds of soldiers to brought them back. But in the past life, the Laurent hear the words of this from the spy they planted on the Martinez, and hurriedly followed the soldiers.
They injured half of the soldiers, kill the couple and kidnapped Florentia. She was held captive in our prison for the time I took her place and pose as the fake Florentia.
Velicia Laurent
(Her appearance at the banquet in the past life must also be Duke Laurent's plan. He seek through my betrayal and release Florentia so that I could be imprisoned and help him to defeat the Martinez)

(Ash, I wonder how you've been)
Asten Martinez
Father, are you calling for me?
Asten Martinez
Age: 20
- The successor of the Martinez Ducal House, the House of Justice and War.
- First child of Martinez
Frederick Martinez (Duke Martinez)
Looks like the luck is on our side, good news kept on pouring over.
Frederick Martinez
- Duke of the Martinez Estate
Asten Martinez
You indeed look ecstatic.
Frederick Martinez (Duke Martinez)
Take a look at this.
Asten took over the letter the Duke offered, and read each word carefully.
Asten Martinez
Seth Garcia seems to have a clear evidence on this. But how could he know in such detail?
Asten Martinez
Duke Laurent doesn't expose a secret even to his own children.
Frederick Martinez (Duke Martinez)
Do you know who is the closest Laurent to Seth Garcia?
Asten Martinez
Velicia Laurent doesn't seem to be the type to expose such thing. She's just another puppet of Damon Laurent.
Frederick Martinez (Duke Martinez)
You met her?
Asten Martinez
During the time a banquet was held in the royal palace, I took a glance at her. She looks distant and indifferent, giving out a cold vibe to warn people not to be close to her.
Frederick Martinez (Duke Martinez)
We both know Seth Garcia is not capable of doing such thing. Even if it is not Velicia, there is indeed someone from inside who is willing to give out the secret.
Frederick Martinez (Duke Martinez)
Anyway, help the Garcia's childe in solving this matter.
Asten Martinez
Father, I think we should focus more on Flora. This could be hand over to Captain Lain.
Frederick Martinez (Duke Martinez)
No. We must distract the Laurent as much as possible to ensure Florentia's safe return.
Frederick Martinez (Duke Martinez)
Do as I say, I'll handle the rest.
Asten Martinez
If you wish me to, I'll obey your words.
