“Of course, you know how surprised I was? You were talking to a filthy handsome person as big as a door, but the dark guys gathered around you and told you not to get close, and they were clearly Fersecta guys…….”
At Aldwin’s words, whispered so that only she could hear, 루 put her hand in her pocket and laughed.
“It’s Fersecta people who are spread out here.”
“What I mean is, so it doesn’t seem like civilians, that’s what I mean. The atmosphere seemed unusual, and it turned out to be the guys the Emperor brought.”
Aldwin said this and then looked at 루’s complexion.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine. Are you okay?”
“What could be wrong with me?”
“No, weren’t you surprised earlier?”
When she felt Emperor Fersecta’s intimidating presence, 루 honestly thought Aldwin might have drawn his sword. But now Aldwin tilted his head with an expression that he didn’t know what she was talking about.

“I was surprised. But didn’t the conversation end well?”
The intimidation that Aldwin Rochester, a member of the Imperial Knights, didn’t notice. The unnoticed beauty around them. It’s all strange.
Of course, it all explains with magic. 루 gathered her thoughts well, hid them, and nodded her head.
“Yes. It ended well.”
The Emperor said it was a mistake. At the same time, he also said that she has become more sensitive since coming to Chalea. 루 walked, mulling over what the Emperor had said.
“Are we going back now?”
“No. We also need to get a map. It would be good to go buy some books.”
There seemed to be maps in the office of the construction office, but she wanted to stop by the bookstore just in case.
So she would definitely have to increase Aldwin’s load, not only with the escort of the construction, but also with other tasks she didn’t know about.

The end of the day was very tough. Therefore, the familiar homeland food prepared by Martin, a former palace servant, was tearfully welcome.
“Wow, it’s so excellent?”
루 couldn’t close her mouth at the grand feast prepared, but Martin humbly bowed his head as if it was nothing special.
“If you have food you like or want, please let me know in advance. I will do my best.”
A servant skilled in poisons.
Today’s words of Emperor Fersecta passed over the polite face of Martin.
“Don’t overdo it. I’ll hire more people, so discuss it with Aldwin.”
“Yes, Commissioner.”
There might be something in the food in front of her. Emperor Fersecta said to run outside if something happened. As if something was bound to happen, he said so.
루 looked at the sparkling cutlery and picked up a spoon. She scooped up the soup that had been generously seasoned with precious spices and thick cream. If hiding poison, a soup with all sorts of seasonings would be best.

It could be deadly poison today, or it could be a poison that accumulates little by little.
‘Anyway, I can’t trust anyone.’
루, who didn’t even trust Emperor Fersecta’s words, tasted the soup. The rich umami and smooth texture pleased her tongue. It was excellent enough to be her last meal in life.
“The soup is very delicious.”
The blunt Eliza Barkova, ‘an assassin who unhesitatingly carries out assassinations under the guise of a knight’ according to Emperor Fersecta’s evaluation, unexpectedly spoke first.
“Thank you.”
Martin nodded his head and disappeared back into the kitchen.
“Met with Emperor Perseta, you say.”
Eliza asked Rue, clearly curious about something Aldwin must have told her.
Given Aldwin’s tendency to be all over the place, either the two were closer than expected, or they shared some secret, one or the other.
“I was going to talk about that anyway. I’ll have to report the details to His Majesty.”

In other words, it meant he couldn’t tell her the specifics.
Inside the Calleta embassy, a spying battle was taking place where everyone was trying to find out each other’s secrets while hiding what needed to be hidden.
“They say this place focuses on social gatherings.”
Whether Emperor Perseta had warned everyone in the embassy to be on guard, or tried to woo Rue, there was no need to say.
“So various gatherings are being held nonstop.”
“That must be fun.”
Aldwin said. Eliza was just listening quietly.
“Really? I find it bothersome.”
Rue spoke honestly. It was true.
He had fled from people he disliked only to have to meet them. The Calleta Empire was a strict vertical system built on cold laws, and social gatherings were merely entertainment for some nobles.

“It’s a mission far from me.”
“You have to do your best even if it doesn’t suit you, since His Majesty entrusted you with it.”
At Eliza’s sharp comment, Rue smirked.
“I’m the ambassador; do you think I don’t know that, Captain Barkoba? I appreciate the advice.”
He was not thankful at all, and the tone indicated not to cross the line. Anyway, Rue was the head of this embassy, and he would not tolerate being looked down upon.
So he intentionally called her by her title rather than her name. Even if she was an opponent he couldn’t overpower by force, he would somehow win stubbornly.
“Well, this is the Calleta embassy, and we’re in a hostile country, so what kind of invitation would we get?”
“We’ll be quiet, then.”
Aldwin also responded with a laugh.
“What kind of person is Emperor Perseta?”

He was graceful in his dining etiquette. He knew how to gently steer the topic of a slightly sharp dinner table. What kind of person was Emperor Perseta? Unlucky for one.
“Young. Young, but I don’t know how old, and hard to gauge. That’s why he became an emperor.”
Rue pondered for a moment and suddenly wondered if Emperor Perseta was married. No, it’s not even worth being curious about. It means nothing. Let’s drop it.
“There are a lot of newspapers here. Even found places criticizing the emperor outright, so it’s good to read them all thoroughly.”
That’s all he had to say, and Rue didn’t open his mouth any further.
Throughout the meal, she was thinking in her head about what to report to another unlucky emperor, Carlos Arthur Ingram. She wanted to hide what she had discussed with Emperor Perseta as much as possible.
[Star icon]The next morning, Rue stood looking out the broken window, her hair unkempt and dressed in a worn cardigan.
“Thieves’ dogs!”
“Get lost!”

Rocks were thrown, breaking three windows already, and the Calleta national flag Aldwin had hung was torn at the edge.
People from the conquering Perseta Empire were blocking those who were hurling insults and throwing stones.
“Have a drink.”
Martin approached, offering a tray with three steaming cups. Rue picked one, relieved to see there was more than one cup.
“Rue, why are you out here? It’s dangerous.”
Aldwin rushed out but paused at Martin’s extended tray.
“What danger is there when they’re blocking so diligently?”
She had anticipated this. Three windows seemed like a rather gentle start. Rue drank her cup with a gulp. Hmm. The savory taste was really good?
“That’s nothing. You better be prepared. We’ll be hit by rocks instead of invitations every day.”
The aristocratic lord, who had turned pale, apparently hadn’t expected it to go this far.
Roo walked by with a pick laugh. It would be good to buy nice gowns and pajamas. Preferably, something that matches the soft and fluffy bedding that someone has chosen.

Roo walked slowly with her hand in the cardigan that was worn out but just as comfortable. Her attitude was so leisurely that it was hard to believe she was a person living in a house where stones were thrown outside.
“Ah, speaking of which, the invitation has also arrived.”
She looked back at Aldwin.
“Wow, look at that annoying face. Three of them came. Cheer up, cheer up.”
“Annoying…….”
“So cheer up and stop thinking about it. There’s something sent by the Emperor of the Perseta Empire.”
Roo was truly tired.
