Who is she?
In front of Lionel, a list of people was placed, suspected of being close to Marianne among male nobles who frequently entered the palace.
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
Are these all Marianne’s lovers?
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
Probably, yes.
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
Hmm, Princess Marianne has an acquired taste. Young, slender blond men.
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
Is there any clear evidence that Marianne and those men were acquainted?
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
No, Princess Marianne and Queen Selina’s maids won’t be able to tell you because they’re afraid of the consequences.
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
Well, what’s the evidence that they are related to Marianne?
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
These names were selected from the list of those who visited the palace.
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
It was written by the guards themselves.
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
Then, the guards may know the private life of the princess.
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
Yes.
He thought Carl would do a better job of investigating.
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
And what about Madame Katana?
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
Madame Katana’s real name is Orivia de Katana.
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
So, Madame Katana actually exists. She’s not fake.
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
Yes, she’s quite known inside the palace.
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
Continue.
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
Madame Katana entered the palace seven years ago and soon after, she became Queen Selina’s maid.
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
As for Princess Marianne, she has been her maid for over a year.
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
Hmm, how old is she?
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
She was 14 years old when she entered the palace as Count Katana’s adopted daughter.
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
Even if it’s not accurate, she’s probably in her early 20s.
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
How many years ago did Count Katana die?
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
Maybe around three years ago. He had a lot of problems.
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
Count Katana remarried a woman from the estate, but she gave birth and died a few months later. The child she gave birth to is now Madame Katana, not the Count’s biological daughter.
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
Count Katana died three years ago. Madame Katana, who became an adult at the time, sold the mansion and handled the remaining debts.
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
Where’s the eldest son of Count Katana?
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
Philip Katana became a priest twenty years ago after emancipating from his father.
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
It would have been difficult for Madame Katana to contact him because he is currently missing.
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
Is she married?
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
She’s single.
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
But then, why Madame Katana?
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
It’s a nickname she got from the palace.
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
Probably a nickname for her ugly appearance that makes her look a lot older than her age.
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
Ugly appearance?
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
What’s ugly about her? I don’t know why she deserves to be called Madame Katana.
Old Butler Karl [Lionel’s Butler]
Madame Katana is a strange woman with a huge body and pale face. She always wears mourning clothes.
Duke Lionel de Sentoren [ML]
Then, who the hell is the Madame Katana I met?
