The Emperor really has nothing to do, coming to see who was appointed as an official in the Caleta Empire? The Caleta Empire didn’t even notice that the Emperor was coming, and Rustica was deceived just like that.
A hammer must come down on the deceiver. She had been patient enough, but she couldn’t just let this go.
‘Kill both Emperors.’
Good. It fits perfectly in her heart. Her anger may change to teasing when she cools down later, but Rustica’s anger was enough to willingly commit treason now. And anger is a good motivator to work.
It didn’t take much time to review various documents and put them in her head.
Rather, it took more time to take out all the hairpins that the maids had hurriedly adorned her with when she left Catart.
“Ugh.”
Several strands of hair were pulled out, and over twenty hairpins were pulled. Having changed her clothes, Rustica looked around her secondfloor room once more with a frown.
Just like the office, the spacious space was filled with very cozy props and creamcolored furniture.
She had also looked at the document that the Peruseta Empire leases to the Caleta Empire on an annual basis, but it did not say who had decorated the interior.
I don’t know who it is, but I really want to know. They were truly artistic.
“Ah, now it’s movable.”
Truly excellent sense too, there was a fulllength mirror in one corner of the women’s bedroom.
Having taken off her extravagant formal dress, Rustica went outside. To know what kind of country Peruseta is, she can’t be stuck in a room.
She had to go out and bump into things and feel them with her body. Rustica, standing at the back door instead of the front, frowned.
“Ugh, I don’t want to go out…….”
The problem is that she had only hidden from people’s eyes for the last four years. Suddenly going out to the tidy streets bathed in bright sunlight and walking among many people felt bothersome.
No, still, she had the grand ambition to take the necks of both Emperor guys. She had to go out.
“Hello?”
While she was aimlessly opening and closing the back door, a greeting flew in from somewhere.
Rustica turned her head and looked to the left. Right next door, leaning against the mansion wall, a man waved his hand.
He looked about the same height as Aldwin but not quite robust.
He seemed not to have been lazy in his daily training, his skin was clear without blemishes, and his eyes were gentle. Maybe in his late 20s to early 30s? Perhaps Rustica’s age.
“Hello.”
Rustica greeted him in return. A neighbor?
“You just moved in? I live right next door.”
“Yes, I moved in today. Nice to meet you.”
“Ah, you’re from Caleta. These days, it’s been busy.”
The news of the Caleta consulate being built in the area must have already spread.
“I’m sorry. It must have been noisy. I should give you something back, but I just got here, so I’m unprepared.”
“No, it wasn’t noisy. It’s fine. Um, it’s your first time in Peruseta as people from the Caleta Empire?”
The rather embarrassed man shook his head and asked.
“Yes.”
“Did you exchange your money?”
“Is there a place to exchange?”
When she asked with wide eyes, the man answered with equally wide eyes.
“You have to go to the bank. Gold should be fine. I came from Nirva next door 5 years ago. This is the Nirva consulate.”
There was a country called Nirva? Lu, a man, followed the pointing finger and nodded his head, looking at the flag hanging on the left house. That must be the flag of Nirva.
“Ah, I see.”
“The place where you are living now, to the right, is the Soldeinstein Embassy. This whole street is Embassy Street.”
It was all countries he had heard of for the first time.
“Is it unfamiliar since you came from outside the wall? You’ll be stopping by a lot of places today.”
The man gave a bitter smile, as if understanding. Lu shook his head from side to side.
Left is Nirva, right is Soldeinstein. Alright. First, I have to buy a map. It was clear that beyond the barrier, there were many countries other than the Fersecta Empire.
“Thank you for letting me know. Your name is?”
“Ah.”
The man took out a small wallet from his pocket and handed something else from inside it.
“The bank is at the end of this road. It’s nice because it’s close. Have a good trip.”
The card he held out was surrounded by a thin black border, with the embassy’s address and name written inside.
Felix Keika, Nirva Envoy.
The moment he raised his head, the Nirva Envoy closed the back door of the Nirva Embassy and went in. Was it dominated by young diplomats here? Lu quickly looked down at the business card and headed back into the mansion.
I’ll have to buy a business card too. Preferably something neat and pretty.
“Ah, there’s really a lot to do. Aldwin!”
His Excellency the Envoy had to go out.
[Star Icon]An hour and a half later, Lu and Aldwin sprawled on the bank’s outdoor bench, feeling green.
“Lu, never come to the bank again……. If the Kaleita Empire’s Envoy comes directly and gets treated like this, our Emperor will be furious.”
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
