"No, this is...... no, really......" 'I need to see what kind of woman would suit His Majesty.' Despite saying this loudly, Finn had always been more interested in the cookies or cakes served whenever Divlik met empress candidates. Yet today, this same Finn couldn't take his eyes off the woman who entered the reception room. "How can this be possible......" The woman was the third imperial princess who had just arrived from the Veilen Empire. Her name was Airi or something like that, a young girl…-

Eva regretted not warning Divlik that he should also be careful with Mia when he had asked about Joseph before. Was it that even the wisest person couldn't resist a woman who smiled sweetly in front of them? She had been confident he wouldn't fall for it...... What was he thinking, saying he would keep Mia? "What? You're keeping this woman? Are you saying you'll make her empress?" Finn, who had been sitting far behind Divlik stuffing cookies into his mouth, jumped in surprise and voiced exactly…

If he wasn't losing his judgment again, deceived by that beautiful face...... Eva truly seemed to have not a single shred of attachment to the position of empress. Moreover, she had rejected all offers to give her a position. At first, he thought she might be rejecting him to the end because she didn't know who he was—because of his "unclear background" as she had mentioned before—but that wasn't it. Eva had even licked his possessions, trying to protect him because she didn't want him to get…

"Your Majesty! Please help me!" Just as Divlik was about to open his mouth, wondering if there was some hidden story, Finn came running toward him calling his name, with his shirt buttons torn open and one shoulder of his jacket completely ripped off. "What happened?" "Lady Emma and Lady Olivia are fighting over me, and it's chaos. I only danced with them a few times, but did Your Majesty know that dancing with the same woman multiple times implies you're considering her as a marriage partner? I…

"Let go of me." Even when Eva glared at him with as much wariness and contempt as she could express, Joseph didn't bat an eye. Instead, he laughed excitedly, placed Eva's hand on his thigh, and began to knead it. "How can even your hands be so smooth? If you would touch me here with these hands, how satisfying it would be......" Eva succeeded in pulling her hand away from Joseph's offensive remarks, but this time her wrist was caught, preventing her from leaving. "Let go of me." "Don't be so…

"I thought it was proper etiquette for concubines not to appear openly at such gatherings, but I guess I was wrong?" Mia stopped beside Eva and asked in a voice that sounded genuinely curious. "I'm here because there's no one else to stand by His Majesty's side at the moment." "How interesting that a man needs an escort just as much as a woman does." If Divlik's fatigue came from having to attend balls and smile at many unfamiliar people whose titles he could barely remember, Eva's exhaustion…

"Is this what imperial balls are usually like?" Divlik seemed taken aback by the hall that had become a mess in just a few hours, looking around with an incredulous smile. "I suppose it's because such gatherings haven't been held for a while." The last ball held here was three years ago, and while Eva couldn't remember clearly if it had been like this then, the fact that she didn't recall being surprised suggested today's state was definitely worse. "If we hold two more balls like this, we'll…

Begonias that would have dropped their petals long ago in Florin were blooming everywhere. Having the habit of recalling Florin whenever she saw any flower or tree, Eva unconsciously thought of Florin and bit her lip as one side of her heart ached numbly. Do I even have the right to cry, I who made it so no flower could bloom there anymore? "You seem to have had active exchanges with the Grand Duke." Divlik approached Eva, who was wandering near the fountain. He looked quite tired, probably from…

"Seeing my concubine in another man's arms is quite unpleasant." Joseph clicked his tongue as if regretting that Eva had slipped from his hands, then smiled at Divlik. "Why be so possessive when she's not even an empress? In Elan, nobles sometimes share concubines." "This isn't Elan, and I'm someone who hates such things." "For someone with such excellent notions of fidelity, you took in a concubine before an empress. Is this why there aren't many empress candidates coming forward?" "How I…

Divlik glanced down at Mia. "Does that mean...... you would tell me if I were curious?" "Of course." "Before Grand Duke Joseph's thoughts...... what are your thoughts?" Mia finally met Divlik's eyes with hers and answered with a fresh smile. "What thoughts would I have? I just want to be helpful to Your Majesty." To appear with the same failed card and try such a cheap trick. Was this the plan—to tell me his intentions? Did he think I would eagerly take the bait? Divlik frowned…
