213 Episode 21 Root of Evil (1/2)

”Choose any of these, Sonia.

After finishing his secret conversation with Cecilia, Hercule handed Sonia a book that had been sent to him by Nova Lemuria.

”What is this?

”It says so on the title, doesn't it?　It's a catalog of wedding dresses. It was made by my great brother.

Hercule's brother, Titus, was a man of great artistic talent, dabbling in a variety of fields from architecture to painting to dressmaking.

In particular, he has established himself as a leader in wedding dresses, thanks to the weddings of Carolina, Lunalie and Scheherazade.

He is already booked up for the next ten years.

Originally, Titus was a fickle and troublesome man.

He wants to get the job done. ...... But it's too much trouble for him to have meetings and explain himself every time.

The person who asks for help is also a little afraid to ask the emperor's brother to explain everything directly.

That is why Titus made an easy-to-understand catalog book.

First of all, read it and choose a few candidates of your favorite design, and then we'll talk.

That's Titus' intention.

”Well, I'll have a meeting with Titus later, but it will be easier for us to talk after I've read through ...... it.

The bookings are booked up for the next ten years,......, but in Hercule's case, it's a different story.

With the power of the emperor, it is easy to break into this waiting list.

”Hey, Your Majesty .......

Sonia turns her face down and begins to shake and shake.

Hercule's heart rate increases slightly.

I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure if I've said anything to offend you.

Hercule prepares himself in his mind.

After all, he's dealing with the woman who killed and injured his fiancée at their wedding.

However, despite Hercule's concern, Sonia embraced him with tears in her eyes.

You remembered that I told you that I wanted to have a beautiful wedding!

I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. ......

It is not that Hercule dislikes Sonia.

It's not just that she's a pretty girl, but that she's also very capable.

She is also a very pretty girl and very capable.

For Hercule, it was a matter of chance, but he was engaged.

It is natural to want to get along as well as possible with your fiancée. ......

It's a good thing that you're a man and an emperor, and it's your duty to make that wish come true as much as possible.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this.

But what is normal for Hercule is not necessarily normal for Sonia.

It's a good idea to take a look at the actual products and services that are available.

The reason for this is ...... that she usually wears a military uniform and has been on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, there are no men or women.

In addition, her de facto private army, the Red Wolves, has a bad reputation.

It's not necessarily a bad reputation, since they've done a lot of good in the war,......, but people who turn their white armor red are feared regardless of gender.

In addition, Sonia had a fiancé named Hilderick II.

This Hilderick II was cold towards Sonia, and was infatuated with her favorite princess, Kassandra, daughter of Hoamel.

Hilderick II and Sonia had never been on the same page, and their relationship had grown cold.

Nevertheless, there was no man who would approach Sonia over her fiancé, the king, and even if there had been, the serious Sonia had treated such men harshly.

As a result, for seventeen years and a few months, Sonia's life had been devoid of any kind of manliness.

”I'll do my best, Your Majesty!　I'll do anything for you!　So ...... that .......

Sonia fidgeted shyly.

I'm not sure if you've ever heard of this, but I'm sure you've heard of it.

Sonia's face turns red like a boiled octopus.

You're my fiancée. You're my fiancée, and soon we'll be husband and wife. It's my duty to love you, to take care of you, and to make sure you smile.

”Oh, ...... hey, .......

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

(If this were Luna, she would probably say, ”I don't want your love, give me your money.”)

If Lunalie is a very expensive woman for Hercule, then Sonia is a very cheap woman.

After all, all you have to do is give her a few hot words.

(But love is blind,......, so you have to be careful not to wake up.

In a way, the businesslike relationship between the two is easier.

What is important in the relationship between Hercule and Lunary is the national interest, not emotions.

The former is easier to reconcile between national interest and emotion.

However, the relationship between Sonia and Hercule is ...... established by Sonia's one-sided romantic feelings.

There is nothing more unstable than this.

Sonia's moods are the most important thing to watch out for.

And that's when Hercule made up his mind.

And then...

”Your Majesty, Your Majesty the King, Your Majesty the Queen. There's something I need to ask you right away. May I?

A voice came from outside the room.

He was a member of the Sonian faction of the vassals of the Kingdom of Chelda.

In the current Chelda Kingdom, both the Carmine and Hoamel factions have been wiped out from the upper echelons of the kingdom, and the lower and middle class warbeast aristocrats who are affiliated with Sonia have taken over.

We're taking it in now!　Later, ......

”Well, well, Sonia. It's a good idea to at least ask them what they want.　Then you can make your decision.
