The Empress is not the Emperor's lover

#81: Retreat

민윤기

I'm not an ordinary person

유여주

Yeah... I don't know what it was about, but it seemed like he had no intention of agreeing with me at all.

민윤기

I heard you have no connection with His Majesty the Emperor...

유여주

It could just be that the individuals have similar thoughts.

민윤기

So, is persuasion really possible?

유여주

I think it would be better to postpone the dandelion side for a bit and go with the poinsettia.

민윤기

You mean, take one step back to take two steps forward?

유여주

(Smiles) That's right.

김남준

The Empress's power is rising dramatically these days.

김예리

Well, since I got the Godema Palace.

김남준

Well, that does have an effect, but recently, because of the immunity granted to servants, the commoners are almost crazy about the Empress. Even if Her Majesty the Empress starts a war, no commoners will oppose it.

김남준

Of course these are also big influences, but the biggest one is

김남준

Min Yoongi from Sapphire Empire

김예리

Let me know

김예리

If I were to become empress, who would be the wiser choice to eliminate?

김남준

It's the Empress's side.

김남준

The Emperor of the Sapphire Empire is skilled in swordsmanship and has magical powers that are among the top three in the entire continent, so assassination is logically impossible.

김남준

But the Empress has many loopholes.

김남준

Just last time, he ate the poison in the parfait and passed out.

김예리

Wait a minute, but then who is the poison in the end?

김남준

No matter how much I investigate, nothing comes out

김남준

The investigation team has now arrested and killed all the people who were in the parfait house at that time, so there's no way that humans would have attempted to assassinate the empress.

김예리

So, does that mean there's a huge force that hates the Empress?

김남준

you're right

김예리

(Smiles) I think I'll be able to get a good ally.

박수영

Well done, you have to do that much to get back.

정호석

But why did you accept? You're the one who's trying to kill the empress anyway.

박수영

It's a kind of disruption.

박수영

I will betray the Empress after hearing all her strategies at the most crucial time.

정호석

Yeah? Then wouldn't it have been better if I had accepted? Why didn't you tell me not to?

박수영

The three families that the Empress is trying to gain power from are Magnolia, Dandelion, and Poinsettia.

박수영

But if we all pretend to hold hands, we'll run into Baron Kim Taehyung a lot.

Hoseok grimaced when the name Kim Taehyung came out of Sooyoung's mouth.
