“Why would you say that all of a sudden…?”
“Because you smoothly sidestepped my question.”
“!”
“You’ve lived without answering if you didn’t want to, not minding others.”
“You are sharp.”
“I’ve done a little research. There isn’t a young lady named ‘Sadi’ among the high nobility. There isn’t even a young lady who would use ‘Sadi’ as a nickname. So who are you?”
She’s really a smart person if it doesn’t involve Carlein. Latil stuck out her tongue.
Anyway, since she was prodding where it hurt, she had to respond.
“Finally, your majesty, the queen is interested in me. I am honored.”
“!”
“You’ve only been interested in my companions so far, and I was upset.”
When Latil smiled, Queen Aini raised her eyebrows. However, for a moment. Soon a smile appeared on the queen’s lips.
“Don’t be nervous. I didn’t call you to question who you are.”
“I am nervous. I am happy to receive your majesty’s attention.”
When Latil smiled again, Aini pointed to the plate of cookies on the table with a slight smile on her lips.
“Sit and eat.”
“Looks like the talk is going to be long.”
“A bit. But it won’t be boring. The cookies I give are not hard and are tasty.”
She really doesn’t tire at all. There was an incident where Aini’s maid gave Latil hard, cheap cookies, and Latil gave Aini the same in return.
When Aini brought up the incident, Latil grimaced inwardly, but for now, she sat across from the queen.
“Speak, your majesty, the queen. What did you call me for?”
“Is Carlein…happy?”
“I wouldn’t know. I am part of the party this time, but Carlein always spends his time in our emperor’s harem.”
“I see…”
Queen Aini’s expression darkened. Latil frowned.
“Your majesty, the queen. Even if Carlein, as your majesty says, was truly a lover with your majesty in a past life, it was only a past life. Your majesty married Emperor Hyacinth, and Carlein also became another woman’s lover. We are misaligned in our relationships, and I don’t understand why you keep doing this.”
Eventually, Latil hesitated, then spoke frankly. Either tomorrow or the day after, she would be leaving, so she was more bluntly honest than before.
Queen Aini smiled bitterly and coldly.
“When one’s current spouse is not to their liking, they tend to cling to a lover from a past life they adored.”
“!”
“Is this the answer you wanted?”
“!”
Aini, who surprised Latil twice in a row, rested her chin on her hand in thought for a moment.
Latil, eating the notsohard cookies that Aini provided, waited for her to speak next.
After about five minutes. When Aini’s maid outside the room announced the time, Aini lowered her arm, stood up, and asked.
“Currently not only our country but also Tarium is troubled because of the ‘nonhumans’. Are the bodies disappearing?”
“…”
“When you return to Tarium, ask their emperor. Whether the emperor will love Carlein even if he’s not human. Whether he will continue to make him happy.”
“Not human?”
“I’m asking about his resolution.”
Why ask about such a resolution? No, the content of the resolution is strange, but why would Aini, who has nothing to do with Carlein, ask for it?
Latil frowned, but the queen had already stood up, so she couldn’t remain seated and stood up as well.
“And pass on my words. If you can’t bear the thought of having Carlein by your side, send him to me.”
“!”
[Star Icon] [Star Icon] (())What does she mean by sending him over? Does she mean, after divorcing Hyacinth, she intends to live with Carlein?
Latil grumbled to herself as she glared at the roaring campfire making crackling noises.
What about Carlein’s feelings? Does she plan to ignore them? Or is she saying that she will take Carlein as her consort?
It had been three days since she left Karisen, but the words of the former Empress Aiyni were still deeply ingrained in her mind. Whether she was on the move in her carriage, during meals, or when she got up to wash her face, she kept thinking about her words and furrowed her brows.
Anyhow, she didn’t pass on those words to Carlein. She didn’t feel the need to do so.
At that moment.
“Miss.”
Carlein, who had gone into the bushes to attend to some business, approached Latil and handed her a small piece of paper.
“What’s this?”
As soon as Latil took it, he informed her almost without moving his lips.
“It’s a note from Tasir. An assassin is waiting to take the reply.”
Tasir? Latil quickly unfolded the note.
[This is the time separator]My Goldfish.
At the time of the council meeting, Duke Atraxil and Lord Chancellor will begin to lay the groundwork.
The Empress seems to have been acting a little strange from some point, she used to be passionate about politics, but why did she suddenly back down and let Prince Lean take the front? Like this.
You don’t need to worry about the ‘suddenly.’ She’s been preparing calmly since before.
Apparently, during the festival ball in Karisen, a noblewoman turned into a zombie? Around here (of course, you probably heard this on your way), there are incidents of villagers disappearing or bodies vanishing.
People are murmuring that Prince Tyla was the legitimate Emperor. They’re saying that this is happening because the Emperor has changed.
I was worried that you might have been upset hearing these stories on your way here, but please be patient. When Your Majesty returns, all the talk about Prince Tyla will disappear. After all, aren’t you the ‘changed Emperor’?
However, timing is the most important thing for all of this. You know, right? Please let me know when you will arrive in a few days.

[This is the time separator]Why am I the only one still being called a Goldfish when everyone else has broken the code?
Arriving within five days.
By. Someone annoyed by the sound of a goldfish.
[This is the time separator]My Goldfish, your letter is short. But that’s okay. It’s hard to hold a pen with fins, isn’t it? (laughter)
Arriving within five days, then I will schedule the decisive day for the council meeting a week from today (the day I’m writing this letter. It’s the 15th).
Oh, if there are no changes in the schedule, you don’t have to reply. (Heart)
P.S. There’s a research result that says Goldfish like drugs. It’s a scary world, isn’t it?

Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
