61. Family Meal (3)

“I understand.”

I got up from my seat and headed towards the garden bushes.

After that, she hid her body and took a deep breath.

“Whoa…” .”

The languid feeling of alcohol lingering in your body.

For a drunkard, the rate of spread was quite fast.

Concentrated on her thumb.

Afterwards, when I pressed lightly, a pink liquid came out through the sweat glands.

I lightly smelled the scent of the liquid.

‘As expected, it was a marina fruit.’

Marina, a fruit imported from the Samid Empire, Vanessa’s hometown.

It was originally a legal import product 5 years ago at this time.

But….

It was later found to have addictive properties, and the law was changed to allow only a very small amount of juice to be added to alcohol.

‘At this point in the past, it must have been much more than the average.’

Of course, there are detox juices, and if you don’t drink them for a long period of time, they are eliminated naturally, so they are not dangerous.

It’s just a luxury item like cigarettes or alcohol.

I lightly shook off the pink juice that had formed on my finger.

And I quietly watched Vanessa and Lydia who handed me this drink.

 ̄ ̄ ̄.

“It seems like you really like that kid.”

“….”

Lydia does not answer readily.

She just played with her fingers, feeling awkward about her own long, loose hair.

“Because people with that kind of skill are rare.”

“Even though you knew that, why did you refuse the plate that was laid for you?”

Vanessa was frustrated with her daughter.

After she kicked me out, she asked why.

“He is an incredible talent who became a sword master at just 20 years old.”

“I know.”

“Besides, seeing as other royal family members are also helping, they must already know that child’s skills.”

Lydia pursed her lips.

She then tapped the piece of watermelon in front of her with her fingers.

“I’m sure they are already planning all kinds of tricks to have that child.”

In the past, when she competed for her imperial majesty, she scolded her own daughter.

“Shouldn’t you hit the ball before it gets taken away right in front of her?”

However, Lydia did not take her advice.

She would rather be alone, crossing her arms and speaking firmly to her mother.

“I will not take the veil in such an unbecoming monarchical way.”

Her red eyes flashing.

She expressed her opinion with a confident voice, befitting the ruler of the East.

“I will take over him solely with my abilities.”

A daughter with clear opinions like an emperor.

The empress chuckled at that sight.

“You are a woman before you are a monarch. “Nineteen was the most beautiful time of her life.”

The Empress looked down at Lydia’s face reflected in her sleek table.

Her daughter’s reflected face was more beautiful than anyone else’s.

“If you have such a powerful weapon and don’t use it, how can you be a true monarch?”

To be honest, Lydia had never really thought about her own appearance. She

People around her said she was pretty, but she felt like it was against the law to take advantage of that fact.

However, when a person who might have to use her appearance appeared, her heart pounded and she became nervous.

“Obviously, my father brought the opponent to submission through a quick preemptive strike.”

Lydia tucked her own rich, beautiful black hair over her ears.

And she grabbed her drink, probably feeling awkward talking about something so familiar.

“However, they were hastily conquered only by force. “As soon as she collapsed, this secret struggle broke out in the palace.”

Having just become an adult, she put her drink to her mouth without hesitation.

Then I drank it down without hesitation and emptied the glass.

“Whoa….”

The princess wipes her lips with the back of her hand.

She made confident eye contact with her own mother.

“I won’t make that mistake. “I will carefully capture the veil with only my hands.”

The third princess thought she simply wanted to be like her father.

She is now starting to look back at her father’s mistakes.

“Who do I resemble to be so inflexible?” .”

Vanessa was surprised to see such a daughter.

Her words about surpassing her father were remarkable, so she quickly agreed.

“Okay, do whatever you want. “Aren’t you the owner of a territory now?”

“Yes, so please don’t get involved in what I do.”

Lydia looked at the fruit basket on her golden table.

There were limes and lemons in there.

“Stop giving Veil Marina and alcohol.”

The princess took out the two.

And then the juice was dripped into the clear liquor.

“What are you doing now?”

“As you can see, we are making detox juice.”

“It would have been easier to gain favor in that child’s current state, but she chose the difficult path.”

Vanessa looked in vain at the dripping juice drops.

Then Lydia slowly stirred the diluted liquor and spoke firmly.

“Take the wise path, not the difficult path.”

3 The princess quietly placed her improvised antidote in my place.

And she covered it with soft silk.

“I will subdue him fairly and place him completely in my hands.”

Vanessa rested her chin on the back of her hand.

She then looked silently at her own daughter, who had grown up properly.

“Yes, I look forward to it. “Lydia.”

She was concerned about her daughter in many ways.

Knowing the side effects of those methods, the corners of her mouth naturally rose as she tried to find a more perfect solution.

“I guess there’s nothing more to teach now.”

Vanessa grabbed the Marina bottle, saying she understood what she meant.

And then she headed to her kitchen to replace her drink with something fine.

“Mom, wait a minute.”

But, at that moment.

Lydia called her mother over for a moment.

“Still… “There is still more to learn.”

All classes have already been completed, and she is a daughter who has grown up properly.

Vanessa tilted her head to see what more she wanted to learn.

“What is it?”

“That’s it….”

She wiggles her fingers.

She muttered shyly, turning her gaze away from her mother.

“Later, could you teach me how to put on makeup?” ?”

Vanessa’s face hardened.

She was amazed at the shy appearance of her daughter, seeing her daughter for the first time in her life.

“You mean makeup…? ?”

Lydia’s face turned red like the color of her eyes.

She nodded her head quietly.

“Of course, I am confident that I can conquer the veil.”

“But?”

“But, just in case… I plan to prepare thoroughly….”

The princess looked happily at her daughter trying to do her best.

And she thought for a moment about what she could teach her.

“I don’t think there’s any need to learn from me….”

Her mother approached her daughter.

And she whispered secretly.

“If you act the way you showed me just a moment ago, any guy will like you.”

“Yes… ?”

Lydia looked up at her mother, wondering what was wrong with her behavior.

However, the empress simply patted her daughter’s shoulder, saying that she had enjoyed the sights.

“hehehe… “That’s all I’ll tell you.”

The empress moving away.

When she completely disappeared into her kitchen.

I naturally returned to Lydia’s side.

“Are you finished with the story?”

“Okay, sorry for keeping you waiting.”

Lydia played with the side of her head as if what her mother meant was bothering her.

She sat next to her.

And then I looked around for my missing drinking glass.

“Oh, if it’s alcohol, my mother went to get more.”

Lydia quietly handed over the cup she had prepared.

“While you wait, drink this.”

A little while ago, I made a detox juice mixed with lime and lemon juice.

I took the silk and looked down at the liquor.

“I gave it to you, so be sure to drink it. Please.”

She emphasizes this again and again.

As if responding to this, I gratefully drank the alcohol.

“Ugh… “Is this alcohol?”

“hehehe, alcohol that is good for your health is usually stronger-.”

The 3rd princess looked happily at me frowning at her face.

She asked back when I had completely emptied my glass.

“How did it taste?”

Of course it is sour and bitter.

If you give this type of alcohol to people around you, they will get really angry.

But….

“At first, I just wrote…. “As I drink it, I can feel the deep flavor.”

I couldn’t do that since I overheard that this drink was a detox juice.

Because I wanted to praise the princess for her upright mind.

“Yes, I see you are happy. “I am satisfied as I will soon become the owner.”

“It’s still a long way to go.”

I firmly stopped her from sneaking around and trying to put a leash on her.

However, she is still a confident third princess.

“You never know. “I don’t know if she’ll have long left.”

She was alone, crossing her arms and setting her chin upright.

And, in front of me, he maintained the appearance of a proud monarch.

“Lord Veil, I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”

The Third Empress also returned just in time.

This time, she returned with an intact bottle of alcohol.

She poured me a natural purple wine.

“Shall we finish what we didn’t say before?”

“I understand.”

“I understand the secret letter you showed me a moment ago and the reason for helping the princesses.”

Vanessa sat down.

And she asked me with trusting eyes.

“By helping like this, what is the ultimate goal you want to achieve?”

“We will create an alliance by uniting the royal family and the nobles who follow Prime Minister Mosian.”

The Third Empress internally compared Rosanna’s power with the power of the alliance I mentioned.

“What do you think, Lydia?”

When Vanessa asked, Lydia returned to her monarch-like expression.

“I don’t want to be on the same side as the other royals, but I think there is a possibility if Veil takes the lead.”

The empress was also satisfied with the monarch’s consent.

She reached out to me and offered a handshake of trust.

“If that is the monarch’s will, then I have no choice but to accept it.”

I held hands with the 3rd Empress.

And shook it firmly.

“Thank you for your trust.”

“I don’t trust you.”

Vanessa raised the corners of her mouth.

And she spoke to me with the relaxed expression of an empress.

“I just trust my daughter’s judgment.”

Our hands parted.

Afterwards, I promised while adjusting the collar of the shirt the emperor wore.

“I will prove that your daughter’s judgment was not wrong.”

Finally, the three leaders of the empire were on the same side.

However, it is still just the beginning.

The Crown Prince and First Empress must have been plotting for a very long time.

In order to completely destroy them, this level of success is still not enough.

“Then, I will go now.”

“Yes, you are probably busy, so we should move quickly.”

While preparing to leave, Vanessa and Lydia exchanged glances.

Afterwards, when I turned around to the corridor.

3 The princess walked side by side with me, putting her back on her back.

“Where do you plan to go now?”

“I plan to stop by the second princess’s mansion.”

It is said that as soon as she breaks up with herself, she goes to meet another princess.

Lydia frowned at those words.

“Why are you there…” ?”

“To make an offer of alliance like we just did.”

Lydia listened to those words and fell into her thoughts.

Then, she raised the corner of her mouth and asked.

“So, the princess who first proposed was me?”

“Yes.”

Lydia lets down her hair.

Every time she walked briskly, her hair also fluttered.

A faint scent of soap wafted along the waves.

“Hmm- is that so?”

Soon the princess came in front of me and blocked her path.

And she grinned like a cow devil again.

“It’s a long way to get there, so I guess I’ll have to take you there myself.”

Among dozens of carriages, Lydia chose the most luxurious and extravagant carriage.

She patted the seat next to her as she got in there.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Why are you so excited…? ?’

I sat down next to her.

We even wore white shirts as a set.

Satisfied with all these moments, she set off her carriage with a playful look on her face.

And, I was looking forward to seeing what kind of expression Irina would make the moment she saw us.
