“It seems to be an unchanging fact that you’ve said things you can’t say to me, the Emperor.”
The Emperor, who subtly threatened, tapped the chair with his finger. The irregular rhythm felt every time intensified the atmosphere.
Still, the Countess didn’t answer.
“Ah…… That is…….”
Rather, her stammering without answering seemed to say, ‘Can’t you just let it go after doing this much?’ That intention appeared clear.
The Emperor, not appearing too angry, slowly nodded his head.
“Well, it’s funny to stumble over it now. I let Isabella’s words pass, but to stumble over the words of a Countess……”
“Th, that’s right. I sincerely apologize.”
The Emperor seemed to let that issue pass easily.
‘Maybe because I was worried that I might really be punished for what I said. It wouldn’t matter if I was a little tangled. Unfortunately. I wish I could show the Countess a lesson this time.’
A small sigh came out with such a regretful heart.
“Okay. Don’t do it again. I hope you know that I let it pass because of Isabella.”
“…….”
“Answer.”
“……Yes.”
The Countess finally lowered her tail at the Emperor’s strong words.
“And as I said earlier, I intend to be Isabella’s wall.”
“Yes?”
“A wall called a husband. So don’t add anything else.”
“Yes, yes. I understand……. That…… It has to be. It’s the Emperor’s command.”
Perhaps fearing a fuss about that matter, the Countess quickly agreed to the Emperor’s words.
“Then let’s go today. Next time, I’ll come to get you formally.”
“Yes, yes.”
“If there’s anything you need, you should have it all prepared by then, Isabella.”
The Emperor offered his advice quite affectionately. It seemed like he was beating around the bush to say that Shasha should also prepare, as he was going to take her. Whether he’s really unlucky but subtly affectionate, somehow, I felt a little more comfortable.
With those words, the Emperor left for the outside. He said nothing else.
“I’ll accompany you to the carriage.”
“Okay.”
But even when approaching the carriage, even when leaving in the carriage, he said nothing else. Perhaps because the Count and his wife came out to see him off, he left with only a pleasant smile, and we were able to return to the Count’s house only after the carriage carrying the Emperor had left.
As soon as the Emperor left, the Countess, who seemed to have been waiting, called me.
“Let’s talk.”
I headed to my room, ignoring her onesided words.
“Bella! Isabella Bellocchi!”
Ignoring the Countess, who was furiously yelling, I quickly returned to my room. She followed me into the room and grabbed my arm tightly, not even looking at her.
“Are you not going to listen to what I say?”
“What. You’re just shouting. There’s nothing to listen to, is there?”
“Ha. Alright.”
She quickly acknowledged her fault for some reason and nodded her head.
“But I was taken aback. So think about it again. Marrying His Majesty the Emperor. That’s an impossible thing.”
I shrugged my shoulders and shook my body slightly, as if hyping myself up.
“Go and try to stop His Majesty.”
“Isabella!”
“Even if you shout, I’m not afraid.”
“Ha…… You’re really crazy. Empress? Marrying the Emperor……!”
The Countess approached me with a flushed face. She was slightly shorter than Isabella, but she was bristling with so much hostility that she was grinding her teeth.
“Why? Are you going to hit me?”
“Hit? Who’s going to hit? I am, I am……!”
“You must think I’m easy. Or is His Majesty’s word a joke to you? You couldn’t move a muscle in front of His Majesty. Do you think I can do whatever I want?”
She laughed, taking off her outer coat. The Countess was trembling all over her body.
“It’s all your fault!”
“Ah. I guess so.”
“Just go and say you won’t marry. Since His Majesty is so firm, say it yourself. There will be no marriage. You’ll marry someone else. No. If that’s the case, I’ll also nullify the marriage with the Duke…….”
She seemed to think that her words were now getting through to me, the Countess’s attitude was markedly different from in front of the Emperor. As if that weren’t enough, she held her head up stiffly, as if bestowing some great favor.
“Really? You’ll nullify the marriage with the Duke?”
“Absolutely.”
I nodded my head slowly, pretending to think, then covered my mouth and laughed.
“That’s great. Not marrying the Duke. But what to do. I can’t go back on marrying His Majesty.”
The Countess, who had been making a huge fuss, suddenly shook her head.
“Huh? Bella, even you must find such a position burdensome. Even if it’s a state marriage, if you dislike it, he surely won’t force you.”
“I do dislike it.”
“Then what about the Duke?”
“Mother started this, so Mother should resolve it. You just said you’d make the marriage as if it never happened. Just change your mind to that.”
I shrugged my shoulders. Even to me, it was quite an insolent attitude. I felt like I was becoming more like the Emperor as I talked to him more lately. Anyway, having said what I wanted to, I took off my shoes to change into comfortable slippers.
The maid who followed me quickly moved the shoes in front of me.
The Countess hurriedly stood in front of me.
“……Bella, you’re kind, aren’t you? You listen to your mother well.”
“I don’t know. I don’t think I’ve ever been particularly kind. Anyway, I’m tired, so please leave.”
