The most beautiful way to flirt
Chapter 1: The Clown Laughs


루시아
ha....

A deep sigh fades through the hazy banquet hall. The queen's sigh, her frown, and the party continues on, unnoticed by anyone.

루시아
Seriously, what are you thinking, Your Majesty? Injecting drugs into a party...

The queen was clearly annoyed. Not for moral reasons, but for a deeply personal reason: the smoke from the burning potion was making it difficult to breathe.


민윤기
It can't be helped. It's to commend the achievements of the war.

루시아
I don't like it


민윤기
Lucia, you haven't experienced battlefields, have you? Don't talk. This is the best way.


민윤기
...and, wouldn't it be fun to have a drug party hosted by royalty?

The king's maddening laughter filled the banquet hall, but the people paid no attention. Courtesy and sanity had long since been consumed with wine.

The queen was upset at a strange point: because he called me Lucia instead of my nickname, Lucy.

루시아
Tsk, dirty things

The queen was complaining for no reason. She was making excuses about how dirty people were, crawling around on the floor while intoxicated.

The banquet hall was filled with the sounds of frivolous laughter, the rustling of wine glasses, and the occasional groan. No one heard the queen's usual image of elegance.


민윤기
Don't whine so much. If someone is rude, just cut off their head.

루시아
...Is that so? Then I guess I should cut off this guy's head right now.

The queen stretched out her pure white finger and pointed at my feet.

A man dressed in luxurious attire was greedily licking the queen's shoes.

Tang, the man who was completely drunk and dazed collapsed with a dull thud at the sound of a single gunshot and rolled to the floor.

루시아
Thank you, Your Majesty


민윤기
What, that's enough. I have to protect what's mine.

루시아
Yes, because if I were to be among the lowly, my status as Your Majesty's property would be lowered.

루시아
So... I really hate being left with that. Please break the one I'm less fond of.

The queen swept away the smile that had been on her lips, even if only formally, and raised her hand haughtily.

The one at the tip of his finger was the owner of the 'other' throne prepared next to the king, approaching the king and queen.

세레네
Phew... If it weren't for the antidote, I would have been tossed around among them. Thank you for taking care of me, Your Majesty.


민윤기
Didn't I tell you? This medicine is more toxic than you think. If I hadn't brought the antidote, I wouldn't have lasted even 10 minutes.

루시아
Ha, if I were going to do this, I would have liked to have gotten high and made a fool of myself.


민윤기
Lucia, refrain from harsh words.

루시아
I don't like it. I don't understand, no, I don't understand, why I should be treated as the same as that girl.


민윤기
Well...Serene is clearly the second queen of this country.

세레네
Yes, sister, I am also the queen of this country.

루시아
On the subject of side expenses...

루시아
Your Majesty, knowing that Serene and I are not on good terms, why did you place Serene's throne next to yours?

루시아
Is this why you invited me to this party? You're a really bad person. I'll just go back now.


민윤기
Wait a minute. The clown will appear soon.

루시아
Are you a clown?


민윤기
Yes. It's a performance by a circus troupe run by three companies. Don't you want to see it?

The queen hesitated. Although annoyed, the circus viewing was a rare opportunity for a queen confined to the palace.

루시아
....Tch, let's just watch this performance.

The queen bit her lip and sat back down.


박지민
3J Trading Company's proud circus begins.

The circus was a lot of fun. But every time she heard the Queen squealing next to her, she kept herself from saying, "It would have been a lot more fun if that bitch wasn't here."

Truly, the king is a man who does not know a woman's heart.

In the first place, does it make sense to suddenly bring your half-sister, who is your enemy, to your wedding and make her your bride?

Lucia was biting her lip when she was startled by a man's voice.


김석진
Oh, you're going too far! We worked hard to prepare, but no one noticed.


김남준
Don't expect too much from someone who is on drugs.


박지민
Yes, Jin, we are not here to show a show to these pigs, but to show a show to the beautiful Queen and Her Majesty.

The queen frowned as she watched the man who treated people of much higher status than her, such as the prime minister, the duke, and the marquis, as if they were pigs.

Jimin, was he the one who had the wisdom to elevate JM Company to the top in just three years? The queen smiled, thinking it would be hilarious.


김석진
Oh~! Is that so! Your Majesty, are you watching?

The pink-haired man waved his hand and asked, "That guy is too easygoing."


박지민
Be quiet, Jin. Okay, then let me introduce you to our circus' greatest pride, the clown V.


김태형
Nice to meet you

Though he was dressed in a ridiculous blue outfit, his figure and appearance shone. The clown chuckled. The queen thought it was as if he was laughing at her.
