The Empress is not the Emperor's lover

#44: Banquet Preparation (2)

공작

You showed up out of the blue and that's all you have to say?

김태형

I'll ask again. What is the name of the flower planted in the mansion garden?

공작

Chrysanthemum? It must be.

김태형

...

That's wrong

The flowers planted in the garden were definitely gerberas. It is true that they belong to the daisy family, but they were different from chrysanthemums.

공작

What is so wrong that you have to come all the way to your sick father to act like this?

김태형

Father, why... why are you so sure that child is yours?

공작

That child...

공작

It is my mistake and my only flaw.

김태형

That's... quite a fatherly remark.

Taehyung, having returned from the mansion, was troubled.

김태형

Is it true...

Originally, Taehyung was absolutely certain that Yeri was not his younger sister, but he was confused because of that one remark from Yeri.

It would be unlikely that anyone would know about it since it is a flower imported from abroad, so it was impossible to say that he heard it from someone; on the other hand, it was even more impossible that one of the people who worked there 20 years ago told him.

This is because Taehyung saw with his own two eyes all those people executed and their bodies burned.

김태형

Did you happen to hear from your father?

김태형

Is this a threat? Ah... this isn't it.

From the start, the Duke was not at a level where he would side with a kid who was just about to become the Empress under duress.

In that case, whether the Duke told her or she was his real younger sister, there was no benefit in Taehyung treating Yeri carelessly.

김남준

Your Majesty, a letter has just arrived from the Poinsettia family.

Jungkook received the letter from Namjoon and opened it right there on the spot.

[ Our family will cover all preparation costs ]

It was a letter that was short enough to be a bit rude, but Jungkook didn't really mind since he had already gotten the answer he wanted anyway.

전정국

For some reason, you are listening obediently.

김남준

Perhaps Her Majesty the Empress did a good job of persuading them when she visited the mansion?

전정국

Well, he's not exactly that eloquent...

김남준

It’s not a matter of eloquence; she’s a daughter he found after 20 years, so he probably wants to do anything for her.

전정국

I guess that's how it is...
