The Empress is not the Emperor's lover
#22: Studying Abroad (4)
유여주
Still, thanks to you, I'm laughing.
민윤기
The Queen is prettier when she smiles than when she cries.
유여주
Today, I have many things to thank His Imperial Majesty for, and many things to apologize for.
민윤기
The Queen has never done anything for me to apologize for.
유여주
Well... then shouldn't I be apologizing for always acting like a fool?
민윤기
The Queen never once acted like a fool. She was always pretty and perfect.
유여주
Thank you for the kind words.
Just then, a familiar servant approached from a distance.
시종
Your Majesty the Emperor! So you are here. Your Majesty the Emperor has ordered that you be brought to the Diamond Empire.
민윤기
(Looking back and forth between the lady and the servant) I'm sorry, but could you please say you'll talk about it later?
시종
He told me to bring him right now...
유여주
Have a safe trip. Let's continue our conversation after you return from meeting His Imperial Majesty.
민윤기
Okay then, I'll be back.
Yoon-gi disappeared with his attendant, and Yeoju headed to her office.
유여주
(Muttering) I hope you stay a long time.
Yeoju sat down and looked at the documents.
유여주
Hmm... I guess I'll have to talk to the lord over here.
유여주
Ha... this damn flood is really...
After working like that for a few hours, the female protagonist felt something was strange.
유여주
Jimin, I need to send a letter, so the stationery...
유여주
Jimin?
It was only then that Yeoju realized Jimin was not in the office.
전정국
What the heck!!
Jeongguk could not contain his shock upon seeing the documents the maid brought.
하녀
H-h-H... Her Majesty the Empress asked me to pass this on to His Majesty...
The document stated that Yoon-gi would be granted the Green Territory on the condition that he stay at the Diamond Empire for about six months for the purpose of study.
전정국
under...
재상
(Looking through the documents) I know that His Majesty and the Emperor of the Sapphire Empire are not on good terms, but if it is the Green Territory...
전정국
If we accept that, where will the Emperor stay?
재상
She will likely be staying at the Royal Consort Palace behind the Empress's Palace.
전정국
Can't you have them stay somewhere else?
재상
Yes, legally, we must do so.
재상
However, since it is only natural for a distinguished guest to be in the Guest Palace, may I ask why you are making such a fuss?
전정국
...
전정국
Is it common for an emperor of another country to call another empress by a nickname?
재상
Hmm... unless it's an affair, people usually don't do that.
전정국
(Crack)
