She first learned that many words unexpectedly pop out when pretending to be nonchalant. She had never imagined that smelling the manly scent from him would be such a heart-fluttering experience.

The warmth was familiar, but at the same time, it was difficult to endure.

Carson slowly let go of her and held her hand. As the two stepped outside, those who stood guard in front of the door naturally bowed their heads, as if it were a matter of course.

From the guard post to the Grand Jain Castle was a quite distant distance, but the two began to walk together as if they had made a promise.

The night garden always carried a slightly melancholic atmosphere somewhere.

Once again, in the middle of it, Enes looked at the man’s face who walked alongside her. He still emitted a somewhat unfamiliar scent.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“The moon… yes.”

Enes thought that even at this moment, the moonlight undoubtedly suited him very well. When he smiled, he seemed endlessly affectionate, but when he closed his mouth, his impression became as cool as the moon.

Looking at such a beautiful face, Enes always felt like clasping her hands and praying in front of him.
When they almost reached the Grand Jain Castle, Carson stopped briefly in a place where flowers were brilliantly blooming.

“Celosia.”

“Celosia…”

“Do you know that you’ve just made me a poor wife?”

Enes tilted her head to the side, listening to the unfamiliar words. Then he reached out and swept her slightly messy hair.

“But don’t worry, I could be an impatiens. I’m a husband who came back alive without dying.”

Carson playfully smiled and led Enes. There was a momentary hesitation, tying her feet, but Enes soon stepped forward with him towards the main gate.

Now that she would soon become a maid, it seemed reasonable to be flexible to this extent.

The next day, Enes was appointed as the Emperor’s maid.

Kacey also gained recognition and stayed in the palace. However, she didn’t become a maid to the Empress, nor the closest maid to the nobility. She was placed in the empty palace where the former Empress had fled.

There were many remaining problems in the castle that the former Empress had abandoned.

Considering this a good opportunity to prove her worth, Kacey laughed innocently like a girl who found a dream.

As soon as Enes arrived at the Grand Jain Castle, she became the Emperor’s secretary maid. It was a quite unconventional appointment, but no one objected. It didn’t make sense that the Emperor couldn’t appoint a maid as he pleased.

She was perplexed by the sudden situation, but after declaring that she would do everything as Carson wanted once she became a maid, she couldn’t resist much and received her mission.

Time passed in a rush, and Carson’s coronation went smoothly.

Today, Enes was also with Carson in his Imperial Palace office. It was hard for her because there was too much she had to do. Also, the Emperor looked at Enes with eyes that indicated he wasn’t pleased with her.

“When will you take a break? Are you the only one in this castle examining finances?”

“It’s not like that, but now is a time of turmoil for the royal family.”

The reason Carson put Enes in the position of secretary maid was for the future. After all, once she became Empress, most of the royal affairs would be entrusted to her. And that work was already being partially taught by Count Henrik, the steward.

So, learning about related matters in advance wouldn’t be a bad thing at all.

Of course, Count Henrik initially expressed dissatisfaction.

There was no expectation from him for a maid appointed by the Emperor to help with his work, given that she fell from the sky.

But as Enes continued to handle her tasks, Count Henrik gradually came to like her more. Before long, he began to appreciate her cleverness.
“Do I not seem troubled now, as the imperial family itself?”

It was a good thing that the number of high-ranking nobles supporting Enes was increasing, but being a maid busier than the emperor?

Carson lay on the desk, propping his chin on his fist, watching Enes’s busy movements. Enes, noticing his gaze, turned her body pretending not to notice.

“Aren’t you busy?”

“I am.”

“But why are you lying like that?”

“It’s fascinating.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s hard to believe that I’m in the imperial palace, and it’s even more unbelievable to see you walking around in front of me.”

While Enes laughed softly, she couldn’t take her eyes off the documents. Carson’s gaze caught her amused expression.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“It’s really something big.”

“What is it?”

“The imperial finances.”

“That’s it?”

Currently, the Keynes Empire seemed calm on the surface because they actively used relief measures from the palace. However, since the economy was not stable, financial troubles would soon be evident.

“The problem is the currency.”

“That’s right.”

The overissuance of the Sanbata, which the empress had recklessly created, continued to cause problems. Enes pondered deeply.

Carson silently watched Enes lost in thought. He intentionally placed her seat by the window where the sun was shining the most.

Winter was imminent.

Enes shone brightly in the sunlight. Her blonde hair always had a way of uplifting people’s hearts. When a dazzlingly beautiful woman walked delicately in front of the window, a completely different world unfolded for him.

“Currency is a problem, and now I’m a bit of a problem too.”
