The maid approached Andelle, "Your Majesty, the Marchioness and Miss Lina wish to see you."
Andelle furrowed her brows slightly, "Have them wait in the drawing room, I will join them shortly."
Before she had finished speaking, Dempsey's wife and daughter had already entered.
Both were in tears and knelt before Andelle as they reached her.
Startled, Andelle quickly rose to help the Marchioness up, "Aunt, please don't do this, we can talk once you are up!"
The Marchioness remained on her knees, "Your Majesty, I beg you to show leniency, after all, we are family, and you wouldn't want Lina to lose her father before she's even married, would you?"
Andelle looked embarrassed and cast an awkward glance at Mu Yunlie and Yan Qianyi.
Representing the Federation Empire as the Commander, Mu Yunlie's presence meant that Andelle had to be resolute, ensuring the Federation Empire that they would not protect Dempsey.
