During the six days the princess was being treated at the Duke’s house, didn’t he whimper like a puppy that had its food taken away?
Even if their relationship was ‘now’ just a simple friendship, no one could guarantee what it would be in the future.
Personally, the Emperor sincerely wished for Evelia to become closer to Ludovic.
Ludovic, who had not yet realized his father’s desperate wish, left the office and began to give various orders to the steward of the Imperial Palace after calling him.
“Lunch in the greenhouse. The beverage is orange juice.”
She likes flowers and dislikes bugs. A greenhouse is better than a garden with lots of bugs.
“What flowers are blooming in the greenhouse now?”
“Roses are.”
“Fill it with chrysanthemums.”
Ground thieves like the scent of chrysanthemums.
“Has the repair of the fountain in the backyard finished?”
“It’s not fully finished yet, so operation is from next week.”
“Start operating from today.”
My little friend likes fountains.
“I think there were deer living in the forest at the back.”
“They were there until recently, but now.”
“Let’s put food that deer would like at the entrance of the forest.”
Eve likes animals that resemble me.
“Um, er……”
“Your Highness?”
The steward, who seemed puzzled when the flowing instructions suddenly stopped, questioned.
“Um, the clothes, are they okay?”
Clothes? What clothes?
The steward, who blinked a few times, slowly smiled as he saw the blushing small sun of the empire, which was quite uncharacteristic.
It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince really wants to look good.
“Even though you’re perfect now, as it’s a place where you’re escorting a woman who’s the third noblest after the Empress and the Duchess, wouldn’t it be good to wear formal attire?”
In fact, there was no need to wear formal attire at all.
However, the formal attire of the royal family was quite dazzling, and it was quite effective in holding the attention of a child, so the quickwitted steward ordered to prepare the formal attire.
Seeing the Crown Prince, who was shaking his head as if he was about to show or hide, it was hard to see him as the same person who was holding a sword and getting on a horse to inspect the North at a young age, biting his lip and shedding blood but not a single tear at his mother’s death,
The boyish figure he saw for the first time was quite satisfactory to the steward.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]It was only natural that the Imperial Palace, symbolizing majesty, was very wide, not a kingdom but an empire.
So, it was not enough to walk from the entrance of the Imperial Palace to the center where the Emperor or the Crown Prince’s palace was, they had to ride a special carriage.
As private carriages of noble families could not be used within the Imperial Palace, Hugo and Evelia also crossed inside riding the Imperial Palace carriage sent by the Emperor himself.
Also, in the Imperial Palace, knights who could threaten the royal family could not be around, so the carriage was driven directly by the royal knights, not Edney or Caron.
“The carriage is pretty! Is this real gold?”
“Huh? Yes, it’s real gold.”
“Order to make a carriage made of gold.”
The stern royal knights, who rushed to the carriage pointed out by the small princess and answered that way, had a perplexed look on their faces.
It was common for noble children to look down on the knights and look haughty.
“Wow I just saw a running deer!! Is that a deer?!”
“……Yes, it’s a deer.”
“Make sure to raise a few at the Duke’s house too.”
It was a fact known to the whole empire that Duke Artina did not need a escort.
Even so, the imperial knights who were dispatched as nominal husbands and escorts found it fascinating that this one and only imperial princess was friendly towards the large knights who could be scared.
“Do you eat that round thing?”
“That’s a magic communicator. If you eat it, your stomach will hurt… No, it will be a big problem.”
“I should order them to make a dessert that looks like a communicator.”
Hugo made Evelia, who was bouncing on a roofless carriage, sit on his lap.
“Sir Knight, your sword is very big. I can also do swordplay! I want a real sword quickly, but I’m not allowed because I might cut myself.”
This little lady knows swordplay.
It was clear as day that he would be slaughtered by the Duke of Artina if he laughed, even though he wanted to laugh at every single word of her prattle.
And so, the royal knights held their laughter painfully as they raced towards their destination.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]‘Room, clothes, food, garden, flowers, fountain, dessert. I must not forget anything.’
Having made all the preparations, Ludwig returned to his office and sat upright.
“Hmm. Hmm.”
He needed to be ready to show his little friend that he could be focused on his work in formal clothes at any time.
It was written in the book, [Friendship Relations, Just Know This and You’ll Win Every Time!], which he had seen dozens of times.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
