You don’t want to come to the palace? You don’t like politics?
I carefully examined Raven’s face with a confused look to verify the truth, but there were no traces of fabrication anywhere.
Usually, a person from a noble family would want the opposite.
They would usually strive to come to the palace, make connections, and work politically to receive a position.
“Is that really all, Raven?”
“Yes. That’s all I need.”
“It seems the Duke has a different opinion.”
“……”
A crack appeared in his pretty smile at the mention of the Duke. Raven, who had barely calmed his trembling lips, muttered quietly.
“I don’t think my father’s opinion and my opinion need to match. That’s the path he wants to take, not the path I want to walk.”
“You won’t regret it? It’s difficult to clear the way once it’s blocked.”
“No. I don’t care. I’m just naturally playful.”
Raven laughed naturally. I accepted Raven’s opinion because I too was reluctant to have the Liranef family by my side.
“Just do that, Raven. But you have to help me prepare for this party diligently.”
“Of course, Your Majesty.”
Raven smiled brightly. I heard the sound of the maids behind me holding back a cheer at his radiant smile.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“This chandelier can be considered the leading trend in decoration, and these jewels would be good to use. This candelabrum is better, and the mural is……”
“Look at these works of art, Your Majesty.”
Several top merchants stuck to me, showing a variety of catalogs that were dizzying.
I, who had never bought such things when I was in the kingdom of Lupeon, never even attended a party, and knew nothing about them, felt a throbbing headache.
“……I’ll think about it with the recommended list……”
“Your Majesty. Since you’re the Empress, I’m telling you this, good items must be grabbed right away, or you might miss the opportunity.”
“That’s right. Since we are merchants, if someone offers a better price first, we have no choice but to sell. If you want to purchase later, the price may have gone up or it may have already been sold.”
“Do you want me to decide right now?”
“It’s the first big party you’re preparing after marriage, isn’t it, Your Majesty? The first impression is important. Glamor is the best!”
“Look at this heavy and colorful velvet curtain. It will keep the conversation from leaking out when men and women share hot stories.”
“……It still seems too expensive.”
“Heh! Your Majesty! Heh! This is the latest fashionable color for this year……”
At that moment.
“That color was fashionable last year.”
Raven calmly entered the reception room, cutting off the merchant’s words.
I welcomed Raven with a bright face at his appearance, while the merchants opened their mouths with blackened faces.
“Sorry, Your Majesty. I’m late.”
“Le, Lord Raven, why are you here……?”
“Why? Because.”
Raven frowned as he checked the catalogs and color charts on the table.
“Since I’m helping with Her Majesty’s party preparations.”
“……! Um, um. Just a moment. I, I must have shown you the wrong catalog.”
“I, me too. Maybe I brought last year’s catalog by mistake……”
Huh? The merchants panicked and tried to put away the catalogs they had eagerly tried to sell to me.
“Shh. Stop.”
“Lo, Lord Raven.”
“What, huh? Hey. Who’s buying this faded blue color that was fashionable last year? Look at this? Hey! Who buys a chandelier like this these days? Huh? Why is this jewel this price? Who’s buying this for this money?!”
Raven ripped the catalog in his hand to shreds and glared at the merchants.
“How dare you to Her Majesty!”
“We, we just recommended it! Pe, people have different tastes……”
“Different tastes mean outdated stock? Hmph!”
“If, if we knew Lord Raven was preparing it……!”
“We, we said fashion is something you create! Her Majesty’s use will be fashionable……!”
“Shut up and bring out a proper catalog now?!”
When Raven yelled in his pretty face, the merchants rushed out of the reception room to fetch from the carriages.
“……Raven, if it weren’t for you, I would have been swindled.”
“Your Majesty, forgive me for being late.”
“You don’t have to say that.”
Raven and I continued to prepare, discussing the details. The merchants’ return with the new catalogs was now filled with genuine offers, thanks to Raven’s guidance.
The preparations for the upcoming party were back on track, with both of us diligently working on selecting the best choices. Raven’s knowledge and attention to detail were more than a match for the merchants, and together we crafted an event that would truly be memorable.
I scowled at the torn catalog strewn on the floor.
“No, you probably wouldn’t have bought it even if I hadn’t come. Who would buy such a passé, oldfashioned thing? Some fools must have recommended it incorrectly.”
…I had been considering buying it, but these wicked people.
“Don’t trust the words of the merchant. They’re nothing but swindlers.”
“…Reassuring. Thank you.”

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
