First, taking only the pile and the box, Sonnaught came up from the basement. But then, as Sonnaught was just about to go to his room, Lord Melrosi called him.
“Lord Sonnaught.”
When Sonnaught turned around, Lord Melrosi came up to him with a serious face.
“Do you have a moment?”
Sonnaught nodded his head.
“Yes, what is it, father?”
“……It’s a bit of a personal matter.”
“That’s fine.”
Despite Sonnaught’s okay, Lord Melrosi couldn’t easily speak and hesitated. But as Sonnaught waited patiently, Lord Melrosi barely spoke up.
“You didn’t like Emperor Latrasil from the beginning, right?”
Sonnaught’s face turned stonelike, as he didn’t expect his father to bring up this kind of topic.
“Before long, the Emperor’s official consorts will arrive, and they will receive the Emperor’s favor. As the commander of the knights, you will have to watch from the side… are you okay with that?”
Lord Melrosi looked at Sonnaught with a worried face. A moment of awkward silence fell.
“I am……”
Sonnaught’s voice trailed off. His expression also blurred. But what followed was a monotonous voice.
“I think there are various forms of love.”
“……”
“I want to be a man who gives her Majesty stability, not joy.”
Even though he raised the corner of his mouth as if joking, Sonnaught’s face wasn’t very bright.
“While others are locked in the harem waiting for her Majesty, I can protect her at her side. That’s enough. That’s the form of my love.”
Lord Melrosi hesitated with his mouth. Maybe he could be satisfied. Maybe he could be happy while protecting the one he loves. But it would be painful to watch the emperor embrace other men.
Moreover, the current number of set consorts is only five. There was a high chance that this number would increase.
As those men whispered love by Emperor Latrasil’s side, received affection, and sought favor, could he really suppress his love and just watch from the side?
It’s possible. But it would be painful. Very much so.
But what could he say to a son who had already made up his mind? Lord Melrosi let out a heavy sigh.
“It’s what you want to do, Lord Sonnaught, so I can’t interfere. I just hope you won’t suffer too much.”
[This is the time separator]It was a particularly foggy morning. Latil had breakfast in a daze, then went back to her room and asked while getting dressed.
“Has Knight Sonnaught not arrived yet?”
The nanny was choosing whether to put gold tassels, silver tassels, or red tassels on Latil’s uniform and replied listlessly.
“He’s on vacation, so he’ll come back after a good rest. He’s been working hard all this time.”
He didn’t go on vacation.
He said he would go to Melrosi for a while to execute the secret mission Latil gave him.
But Latil said “I see.” and responded with a strange nod. She felt sorry for lying to the nanny, but secret orders were secrets because they had to be kept secret.
She trusted and relied on the nanny, but the fewer people knew a secret, the better.
Moreover, Latil considered the possibility that the letter thief might be someone very close to her, like a father or a nursemaid.
She thought this because they would know about Latil’s relationship with Hyacinth and could have hidden the letter with ‘good intentions’ for her.
However, it was true that she lied to her nursemaid, so she felt awkward and hugged her nursemaid tightly before going down to reality.
The commander of the Knight Sonnaught returned around five in the afternoon when work was almost done.
Latil was in the middle of discussing military spending with the ministers of defense and finance, so she couldn’t meet him right away.
The two ministers talked for about 30 more minutes before leaving, and then Latil finally called for the commander of the Knights Sonnaught.
“Sonnaught!”
Upon seeing the commander of the Knight Sonnaught, Latil approached him with a big smile.
“Did you solve the problem well?”
“I brought back a lot to investigate.”
“Didn’t you have a hard time going and coming?”
“It was a little hard because I missed you.”
At the mischievous words of the commander of the Knight Sonnaught, Latil giggled and called the butler to bring ‘those documents’.
“Those documents?”
“It’s my reserve harem list. I’ve picked all five. I’ll show you first, Sonnaught.”
Latil went to sit at the table and gestured for the commander of the Knight Sonnaught to sit next to her diagonally. When the commander of the Knight Sonnaught sat down with a stiff face, Latil clasped her hands together and chuckled, saying to look forward to it.
A moment later, the butler brought a thick document and placed it in front of Latil.
“Ah, Prince Klein didn’t come in by application, so he doesn’t have separate documents.”
Latil simply explained and spread out four character profiles in front of the commander of the Knight Sonnaught.
“This is Ranamun, the eldest son of Duke Atraxil. And another one is Guesta, the second son of Chancellor Rhodes. Here is Tasir, the heir to the Anghes business, can you guess who the other one is?”
Latil giggled with excitement.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
