Let's begin the meeting-
진여주
"Today's agenda is..."
The Great Conference. This was a conference of agreements held once a year, with the eight empires, each with territories centered around the René Empire, gathering together.
It was an annual meeting, but I was still nervous.
진여주
"So next is, "
하테 에스쿱스 공작
"May I propose an agenda item?"
진여주
"..what is it, peacock?"
하테 에스쿱스 공작
"We propose to discuss measures to address His Majesty the Emperor's incompetence."
Kwaak-
The female protagonist grabbed the hem of her dress. It was clearly a ploy to belittle herself, get rid of her adopted son Seungcheol, and put her own son on the throne.
But instead, you touched me wrong.
진여주
"What part of incompetence are you talking about?"
진여주
"Just from this collaboration with the Duchy of Terril, you should know her political prowess, and you should know that the Empress's attitude has changed a lot these days."
하테 에스쿱스 공작
"I wonder if that's true."
Duke S.Coups, who had scoffed at Yeoju's boastful remarks, took out a few photos from his bosom and threw them toward the center of the table. Yeoju's expression hardened as she looked at the photos.
하테 에스쿱스 공작
"I got it this morning. How bad must the Emperor be for the Empress to have allowed another woman into her room until now."
진여주
"...We will meet again to discuss this matter after determining the authenticity of the photo. We will conclude the meeting."
Duke S.Coups, who had been watching the heroine grab the photo and leave, smiled with satisfaction as if he had achieved his goal and headed off somewhere.
Kwaang-!!!
최승철
"What the heck is this?!"
진여주
"I'll ask you this once, did you bring a woman into your quarters this morning?"
최승철
"What are you talking about when you suddenly came in?"
진여주
"He asked if I brought a woman in."
I was very embarrassed by the female protagonist who suddenly opened the door and came in, almost as if she was about to break it, and then shouted at me.
I was even more perplexed because I couldn't understand why she was so angry, even though she seemed to know that I had called my cousin, Countess Elma, to ask for advice on preparing a gift for the heroine whose birthday was a few days away.
I called quietly, but who on earth said anything?
최승철
"I called, but that was,"
Taaaaak-!!!
최승철
" ah. "
이 찬
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty...!"
디에잇
"Huh...Your Majesty, are you alright?"
It was a moment
Unable to bear Seungcheol's answer any longer, the female protagonist slapped Seungcheol on the cheek. Chan and The8, who were behind him, looked at Seungcheol in surprise.
Seungcheol, who was suddenly slapped without even knowing what was going on, looked at Yeoju with a dumbfounded expression. Yeoju threw pictures of Seungcheol and Countess Elma in front of Seungcheol, glared at him with a cold expression, and spoke.
진여주
"If you have eyes, see what a stain the Empress's rashness has left on my prestige and reputation."
최승철
" ............... "
The female protagonist passed Seungcheol and left the room. Seungcheol, exhausted, was about to collapse on the spot when The8 helped him up and moved him to the sofa. He then examined the cheek that had been slapped earlier.
디에잇
"Are you alright... Your Majesty, I think there has been a misunderstanding."
최승철
"It hurts. I didn't think it would hurt, but it hurts quite a bit."
디에잇
" ..... "
Squeak-
하테 에스쿱스 공작
"Do you like my work?"
윤정한
"Well, I guess I'm satisfied with the results."
하테 에스쿱스 공작
"Your Majesty will soon find Jeonghan. Please wait."
윤정한
"I'm looking forward to seeing how much power the Duke of Esquire will have."
Jeonghan saw off Duke Escoups with a satisfied smile and returned to his quarters. The emperor was about to come running.
You'll have to find me
Squeak-
윤정한
"Your Majesty, you're here... Why do you look like that? What happened?"
진여주
" ...I don't know if I was hoping for too much."
윤정한
" ....what do you mean "
진여주
"Nothing, we decided to eat together tomorrow."
윤정한
"I will follow you gladly."
Because I am the only one who can understand and comfort you best.
I will not allow anyone but me to covet you.
Squeak- rattle-
윤정한
"Even if she is the empress."
