This guy, like Icarus, was undoubtedly a divine being. It performed all kinds of lovely tricks as if it were a humble pigeon. The Emperor couldn’t help but smile, never taking his eyes off Lu.

It was a truly pleasing sight. When you see a handsome man and a beautiful woman getting along, adults can’t help but feel pleased. Smiling Financial Supervisor, who liked numbers, had a lot to do, and as he busily grabbed his tasks, he subtly jabbed the side of Count Plache, who liked gossiping a lot.

“Congratulations, huh? Must be good news. I’m in favor.”

“Huh?”

Count Ethan Arthur Genesis, the Plache, made a face that said, ‘What nonsense is this?’ but the Financial Supervisor only said what he wanted and quickly took care of his work.

“Well, you know, something like that. Now, I’ll be going. Everyone, take care.”

“Yes, go on in.”

“See you later.”

“Let’s meet again.”
Ethan looked at his wife with an expression that seemed to say, ‘How on earth do I handle this?’ However, Milene pretended not to notice that gaze and slyly turned away towards the Palace White Minister. She still didn’t want to talk about that matter.

“Which should come first, the national marriage or the war?”

However, Palace White Simon Keynes strongly rejected Milene’s wish.

Milene, touching her throbbing head, turned back to the corner of the conference room. Hayden could easily hear this conversation if he set his mind to it, but it was better for her peace of mind if he remained unseen.

“It’s better for the national marriage to come first. Knowing that, the eastern ‘grand’ nobles will make a fuss.”

Simon followed Milene, grumbling.

“People aren’t interested in war right now. It’s because Your Majesty is too powerful.”

“Yes, Lord Genesis. That’s why everyone focuses on a romantic and wonderful story where everyone is the Empress, at least in the eyes of others.”

Milene looked at the back of Simon, wondering what her husband was doing. Ethan was currently engaged in a passionate discussion with the Internal Affairs Minister about the increased tax revenue and the diversification of national projects. Fortunately.

“Our house doesn’t have a romantic and wonderful story, Lord Palace White.”

“Agreed. But that’s not something Your Majesty needs to consider.”

Simon said coldly.

“Be prepared at any time. Let’s start with preparing Count Plache.”

Even the faithful servant of the Emperor’s Majesty becomes different when facing a child problem. Since it was obvious that there would be strong opposition, saying ‘Our daughter can’t do that!’ it was necessary to give a warning in advance.

Today, Simon, faithful to his duties as the Palace White, looked at the piles of newspapers on the desk.

Throughout the meeting, while officials were rummaging around and making the newspapers crumpled, they were all analyzing everything about ‘who the Emperor’s potential spouse might be’ in addition to what happened at the banquet.

“Her Excellency Genesis was surprised that Your Majesty’s anger during the banquet was less.”

“That’s because she’s a sage, so she’s somewhat immune……. ”

Milene sighed and shook her head. Her daughter, who claimed that the Emperor had become gentler, had fallen in love.

No, the Emperor was more deeply in love than her daughter. You could tell just by looking at it. Although her daughter’s love was like the fragrance of newly bloomed roses in the morning, the Emperor’s heart had sunk deeply like an unfathomable abyss.

In the past few weeks, her daughter had changed rapidly, especially after the incident in the east, but the Emperor remained unchanged. It was consistent and, therefore, more frightening.

What if the Emperor rejects her daughter?

“In fact, Your Majesty was very angry in front of the feast.”

“He’s not even worthy of the feast.”
Milene sharply reacted to the suggestion of attaching any title to Carlos Arthur Ingram’s name.

“That’s just stalking, he’s a criminal.”

“Yes, I apologize.”

Simon apologized calmly and dryly.

“Your Majesty…”

Milene, with a highly complex expression, was about to say something but closed her mouth. She still didn’t want to speak about her daughter’s future issues, especially in a place where the Emperor could hear. Whether it’s the Empress, the national marriage, or the war.

Moreover, her daughter is an adult. Ultimately, the decision lies with the child. For her, still a child, named Ru, it was a matter of choice.

But Mom could cheer her on with all her might, ready to become a supportive hill to bet everything on.

“He must have noticed a lot.”

He must have. After all, the eyes can’t lie.

Ru raised her head and looked at Hayden. There was no gap during the meeting, fierce anger during the banquet, and whenever he looked at her, his eyes were not just affectionate, but overflowing with love.

“How is Glera Palace?”

“Why?”

“If it’s uncomfortable, I can change it.”

“It’s good, why change it.”

Ru reached out to him. When she reached out, he either lowered his body or, on the contrary, embraced her first.

It was the first time in Rustica Genesis’s life that she had fallen so unreasonably in love with a man. From the moment the fire started, nothing else was visible.

Continually curious about what Hayden was doing, she followed him with her eyes, and whenever they met, she hugged him first. Either stretch out her arms and hug his firm belly or waist, or hold onto his thick arms.

“How old is he…”

Ru looked at herself with the eyes of an 18-year-old girl who had fallen into a foolish love. The skin that could be covered with clothes was all red.

Even though it was a hassle, the pearl earrings he made were put on tightly, and somehow, Ru’s cool scent was mixed with his. The maids would probably guess the relationship between the two just by smelling that scent.

Well, even if it wasn’t the scent, Hayden didn’t try to hide the relationship between the two in the palace. This is the space ruled by the Emperor, so saying something like ‘Genesis Yeong-ae is uncomfortable’ should not leak out.

“How beautiful the palace is. In fact, everything I’ve seen in Perseta was beautiful. But the East is a bit off. Is it supposed to be like that?”

“No.”

Hayden laughed as if he was pleased.

“I told you I paid attention to the construction. The decorations inside the construction office were also my concern.”

Ru widened her eyes, asking if that was true.

“I’ve never lied to you. I also paid attention to the interior decorations of the construction office.”

“How long do you think I’ll stay there if I’m there…”

“It should be comfortable wherever you are. Especially since it’s a place where you can be for a while, like a thorn cushion in a strange place.”

“Come here. I’ll kiss you. You’re so pretty.”

“Just a kiss?”
With a cheeky smile, Hayden lowered his head and delved into the lips that approached. Whenever they were together, the contact became deeper and more intense. Hayden slightly furrowed his brow. He was constantly swayed by the woman he loved.

“…Are you busy?”

The question already contained everything, grabbing the lapel.

“Are you meeting me just by looking at my face and body?”

Hayden deliberately grumbled and began unbuttoning without hesitation. He already knew that Ru liked flashy things. If she liked it, he had to present it more enthusiastically.

“I knew you’d do that, so I desperately protected my face.”

“Well done.”

“You don’t deny it.”

“Some of it is true. I really like your face and body.”

The man currently playing the role of the Duke of Shalea Palace chuckled with satisfaction at those words.

“It’s worth taking care of diligently every day.”

He smiled, satisfied that Ru appreciated it. He embraced her with his honest and unadorned love.
