Yurisien was unknowingly covering the edge of his lips with his raised hand.
“Go.”
“Not a dog training.”
Grumbling, Ivan jumped back up the tree. For Coperador Guild members, tree climbing seemed to be basic training.
Upon Ivan’s departure, Yurisien asked rather urgently.
“But what then? Your Highness’ side… even filling it with your own people isn’t enough.”
“Michel is my man. Having a few extras is better. Besides, people are not divided into ‘mine’ and ‘not mine.'”
Benjamin smirked as he spoke.
“It’s divided into ‘me’ and ‘not me.’ So, there’s no need to divide others into ‘mine’ and ‘not mine.'”
“…”
“The same goes for friends. Having none is lonely, for sure. But that doesn’t mean one should be anxious to make friends. If I enjoy myself, people who want to play will bring what they like. Isn’t that how friends are made?”
Finishing his words, Benjamin took a sip of his tea. Yurisien couldn’t speak for a very long time.
‘Strange.’
How does he see through all the concerns I had?
It was fascinating to the point of being frightening.
Yurisien’s concerns were stories she could cautiously tell only to B, whose face, name, or gender she didn’t know. Stories of my independence, conflicts in friendships; these are matters too delicate for a Windsor Princess to ask for advice on.
‘Things I couldn’t even tell my father.’
Yet, Benjamin always offered his opinions first. Through him, Yurisien found other solutions and realizations.
Yurisien stared at Benjamin for quite a while. Then, she faintly raised the corners of her mouth and sipped her tea.
“My married life will be quite lonely.”
“Hm?”
“Because my husband will always consider me someone ‘not him,’ lumping me with others.”
Understanding what Yurisien was saying, Benjamin carried a deep smile.
“Then, I’ll become a man whose beliefs change upon marriage.”
Benjamin tapped Yurisien’s hand, which had just put down her tea cup, with the hand he had rested his chin on. That he walked his index and middle fingers across the table to approach without startling her was an extra.
“I will distinguish between my people and others, and within the category of my people, I will create another category for my wife.”
“…….”
“They say people change when they get married; I guess I’ll be the example.”
I almost burst out in sarcastic laughter. To think that a single word from Yurik could overthrow everything I’ve been saying in my long speech. Even if it’s nonsense, I can’t help but be in a good mood.
Just then, Andersen approached.
“Your Highness, the Crown Prince, Miss. The Count is waiting for you in the banquet hall.”
Thanks to that, Yurik no longer had to say things like he couldn’t stand being bested by Benjamin.
“Let’s go.”
Benjamin extended his arm familiarly. Though it was merely a walk to the Count’s residence from the garden, Benjamin had requested an escort. Yurik took Benjamin’s arm without missing the slightest courtesy, even for a brief moment, and moved on.
It rained that night.
Thud, thud, thud!
“Princess, Princess! Please save me!”
An unwelcome guest, desperately seeking Princess Windsor, was with Adel.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
