The Grand Duke chuckled and offered a small chocolate plate on top of the ganache cake. I extended my plate and accepted the plate.
“Oh my, this is a place I really wanted to visit! How did you know my preferences so well?”
As the Grand Duke said, the Empress was genuinely delighted. He paid for the meal, placed the order, and carried it all the way. Meanwhile, I just received the box in front of the door and delivered it to the Empress.
“The princess is thoughtful.”
Even though the Grand Duke didn’t like making short sounds, he didn’t say anything because the Empress was looking at me with affectionate eyes.
“Anyway, it’s still before the meal, right? How about having a meal together before we leave?”
“Oh, no, I… ”
“Go to the kitchen and prepare a meal for the princess.”
No matter how much I tried to refuse, the Emperor was quicker than me. He didn’t even ask for my opinion, just made the decision.
“…Thank you.”
I was originally planning to decline to avoid appearing impolite. If they pushed it like this, there was no need to refuse. I quietly sat back in my seat.
The previous meal was more like a presentation of a candidate for a playmate to the Grand Duke. This meal, on the other hand, was a genuine meal.
Perhaps because it wasn’t a planned event but rather an intrusion into a regular family meal, the Emperor and Empress looked very relaxed. The Grand Duke, who had looked somewhat cynical in front of me, also appeared quite young.
Seeing such effortless behavior, the earlier question came back to me.
What do the Emperor and Empress really think of the Grand Duke?
“You must have been busy going here and there today. Rest well. Since we’ve shown the couple’s good relationship, there won’t be any calls for a while.”
So, after dinner, I stopped the Grand Duke who had escorted me.
“Then, may we have a brief conversation?”
“…A conversation? Isn’t it enough that we’ve spent the whole day together?”
I knew I had slept in a bit, but the Grand Duke had been preparing since morning, so he must have been tired too.
However, this was a crucial issue and a matter of contention, so I put on a determined expression and stopped the Grand Duke.
“It’s a conversation that’s difficult to have outside.”
“Well, you’ve gone along with my demands all day today…”
The Grand Duke let out a sigh that was beyond his five-year-old age and followed me inside.
“Tula, bring two cups of herbal tea. And let the children rest.”
Letting them rest meant locking them in their rooms, making sure they couldn’t come out. Having three and five-year-olds gather and decide on political matters would be strange to anyone. We absolutely couldn’t afford to be exposed like that.
Even though the Grand Duke could be seen as a precocious child to some extent, it was unclear how much of him was a suspicious figure.
“This might make you sleepy…”
“If you need it, go ahead and sleep. We always have a guest room prepared.”
“No, that’s… No, okay. Fine, it doesn’t matter. Fine. We can think about it after the conversation. Anyway, what is it that you want to say?”
“I think it would be better to clarify what Your Highness wants from me.”
The Grand Duke raised an eyebrow in confusion after taking a sip of tea.
“Didn’t I say it clearly? Just act friendly in front of my brother and his wife. As long as you keep that, you can do whatever you want. Today, we even went to places, just eating something delicious separately would have been enough. I didn’t mean that you should excessively show happiness in front of me or anything like that.”
“That’s exactly the part I’m talking about.”
I cleared my throat and continued.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
