Yeo-ju and Yoon-gi sat side by side on the sofa and drank the tea that had been prepared.

It seemed like he wasn't a very thorough person, seeing as it was already about 4 minutes past the appointed time.

정호석

Sorry, I called you all and I'm so late~

And what appeared was a man with a much brighter atmosphere than expected.

유여주

Hello, Baron

정호석

Oh, Your Majesty the Empress... and the person next to you...

When Hoseok frowned and looked at Yoongi, Yoongi introduced himself.

민윤기

I am Min Yoongi, the emperor of the Sapphire Empire. Nice to meet you.

정호석

Ah~! It's His Majesty the Emperor.

Hoseok sat down with a look of understanding on his face.

유여주

I heard you studied abroad for a long time. When did you return?

정호석

Um... how many days has it been since I came back?

유여주

Oh... I see. You must be very tired... I'm sorry I got the timing wrong.

정호석

No~ I was curious about what kind of person the newly crowned Empress was.

It was a completely unexpected type

On the outside, he looked relaxed and playful, but on the inside, he was looking at me with a completely hostile attitude.

정호석

however

정호석

Why did you come all the way here?

민윤기

If you're thinking about it so hastily, let me get straight to the point.

민윤기

What do you think about the current state of the Diamond Empire?

정호석

Well, I think it's good in its own way.

유여주

Did you know that in the past three years, the number of refugees has increased by 10% and the number of starving civilians has increased by about 16%?

정호석

Yes, of course I know

정호석

But Your Majesty the Empress

정호석

Did you know that in the past three years, the empire's territory has expanded by about 18% and its national size has increased by about 12%?

유여주

...

It never seemed like they had any intention of getting along.

I don't know why, but it was definitely hostility.
