Chapter 25

Gustav trembled and reported to Esteban Of course, thunderous cried were expected, but Esteban was unexpectedly calm

‘His Majesty is not a man of character’

“Well, Your Majesty?”

As he raised his head, the nor at the proposal in Gustav’s hand

“Give it”

“Here it is”

Let’s bring some ink…

riip

The proposal was torn in half

Rip

Before Gustav could be surprised, it was torn in half again

Rip, rip, riiip, rip, rip…

The proposal soon had to be held in a handful

In fact, it wasn’t a very surprising sight The amount of letters Esteban had made into powder couldn’t even be counted

“It worked out I just needed soht into the stove and set it on fire

Soon, the firewood, which had been left unattended for the summer, flared up

Gustav was dazed by the heat

Esteban looked back at Gustav, shtly it could blind so it as it’s supposed to be used for”

(T/N: He’s saying the proposal was supposed to be burned)

“That’s right……”

He couldn’t be ironic, firewood in the suhout the Javier fae proposal to the royal family

Not only in political circles but also in social circles, unofficial salons, and even rural areas

It was natural that the eyes of the other nobles were turned upside down

‘Such a despicable person Javier is!’

‘How dare he beat me like this?!’

hter-in-law!’</ee to Mabel had this dreaht-pink-haired E the al on the throne, who looked as if she had no interest in the world

Mabel didn’t show her smile easily even when her subordinates tried to entertain her

hter-in-law!’</e each other He’ll do the same-

‘She’s not even two years old yet!’

But Duke Javier broke that unwritten rule

It was like pouring oil on other aristocrats ere already unhappy with the spirit stone mine

-It was not known about any other faainst it! (Bold)

So the behind-the-scenes coan, with the sole intention of not losing the Emperor to the Javier family

Today was no different from any other day

The nanny who packed the parasol asked , Your Majesty Shall we take a walk?”

“Yesh”

Actually, I didn’t want to row up late, so I decided to go outside

It was then, when I alking around in the garden, holding Xavier’s hand in ?”

A strange face stood in our way

Perhaps because he was still a young boy that Lalima and Xavier didn’t block me

About five years old He was dressed from head to toe as if he was at a ball

“Wath’s de madder?” (What’s themy head solemnly Then the boy looked atwith him?’

The boy’s reet the Emperor, the most beautiful of all in the Empire I’m the second son of the Oberit family, Joseph”

“……”

“Fro, Your Majesty… so Your Majesty is…”

As if reading a language book, the little boy, who had been reciting lines, suddenly stammered and scratched the back of his head

The little boy h, what did mother tell me to say…’

‘Huh’

“I’m, I’m sorry!”

As I stared at him, he ran aith a red face

“Wath’s wid him?” (What’s with him?)

I looked alternately at Lalima and Xavier They looked down at me as if I was cute

“Our Emperor is one of a kind beauty, isn’t she? That’s why you’re already so popular! Ahh, ill take our Emperor? I’m so curious!”

“Lalima Be quiet Did you know that you’re the loudest and most talkative in this palace?”

“Are you done talking?”

After watching Lalio

an to squabble with sparks in their eyes, unaware that I had let go of their hands

I decided to leave theht and date er because there was Lissandro, as guarding ent walk that I arrived at the bench where I often rolled around with Kitty

“Your Majesty!”

“Uung?”

So back, another boy, who looked a year or two older than the kid who blocked ain, he was dressed fancily from head to toe

The little boy caht pink hair in the sun is like cosmos petals with da May I offer this flower to the Emperor who is like a rose?”

I looked at the flower the little boy held out It was a withered rose that had been broken a long ti lwike a fer” (It’s okay, I don’t need anything like a flower)

“Yes, yes?”

I tiltedat the flustered boy

It’s obvious that your parents told you to say that, baby

‘It’s cute, cute’

I wanted to pinch his cheeks

But I was less than two years old, and it’s a bit much for me to pinch a boy about six or seven years old

By the way, I was flattered

I didn’t see the old men like that, but they were ambitious men anted power As I was the Eaining my favor in advance

Hm It’s not that I didn’t understand the minds of politicians, but…

“W-well then, what do you like?!”

“Me…?”

I was troubled by the unexpected question What I like What should I say for the rumors to say that I answered well?

‘Ah!’

A brilliant idea crossed my mind

“Mwone!” (Money!)

“Mwone?”

“Sbarky sbarky gwold!” (Sparkly sparkly gold!)

“Go…ld?”

“An jewery!” (And jewelry!)
