Jeremy, who stood before him, took several deep breaths, wanting to say much, but Ecliff kept him standing for quite a while until he tired and kept his mouth shut.
And when Jeremy no longer even licked his lips,
Ecliff opened his mouth.
“Don’t be so sensitive about Barlock’s matters. After all, it’s just Barlock.”
At these words from the one who had always been most sensitive about Barlock’s matters, Jeremy’s shoulders twitched greatly.
“Right now, he must be with Bianca, thrilled, and not knowing what to do.”
“But……”
“But?”
“What if he has impure intentions? In the case of Sylas, he never replenished the knights even once.”
“Jeremy Termina. Have you forgotten? Bianca is not my offspring.”
“I know. But the prophecy……”
The conversation lengthened, and Ecliff’s expression, which had been scowling, relaxed all at once.
He smiled for the first time, his eyes widening as he looked at what he had always seen as pitiful.
“This rigid thing. This is why I always worry about you.”
His anger, which had been roused by the interruption of his long rest, had completely subsided at the sight of his terror and whining.
Separate from that, the contempt for his tendency to run to him at the slightest fear did not vanish.
Jeremy’s face turned red to his neck, clenching his fist, but Ecliff did not even glance at him.
The empire was still his.
Whether that inadequate thing fretted or not.
It was not his place to know the thoughts of such an inadequate thing.
However, Ecliff explained, as if bestowing mercy, pleased by Jeremy’s anxious point.
“Don’t worry about the prophecy, or Barlock, Jeremy. I have already expelled Bianca from the palace.”
“……!”
Shocked, Jeremy opened his mouth wide, and Ecliff smiled at him.
“Barlock may believe in the prophecy and be thrilled, but it’s all useless. Bianca did not even get a name.”
“My goodness.”
Whether he understood the leisurely Ecliff at last, Jeremy was thoroughly astonished.
“Shall I tell you one more thing?”
Ecliff’s voice sounded quite malicious, as if he was quite pleased with Jeremy’s appearance.
“The soul oath is not yet submitted to the temple. It’s still in my hands. Since it has not received the temple’s approval, those two are still, unmarried.”
After all, marriage with a ghost not even in the palace records wouldn’t be valid.
Ecliff chuckled.
Almost to tears.
“Heilley, prepare for twenty knights to arrive at my castle today.”
“From the 7th castle too?”
“No exceptions.”
“If Wave…”
“If I want to go out with peace during Wave, the safety of the main castle must be confirmed.”
Every time, I can’t run to you.
Haley quickly understood the purpose of this occasion with the short added words.
“I will increase the escort for the Duchess.”
“An escort will be attached separately. The guys coming this time will all be used for the castle’s boundary patrol.”
“Yes, understood.”
The conversation was brief, but this was not an ordinary matter.
Since 20 people were taken out from each castle, there was a lot of work.
Each castle had different leaders, different methods of suppressing the wave, so considering their characteristics, they needed to be placed.
At least, they needed to stabilize the castle’s boundary before the wave began, so Haley was going to be busier than she had been in a while.
But Gillian’s orders were not all.
“Prepare for the wedding too.”
“Excuse me?”
For once, Haley questioned the order.
It was natural…
“You’re already married, aren’t you?”
“How can I be married to someone who’s not in this world?”
Haley couldn’t keep up with the conversation and couldn’t respond.
Gillian briefly explained to Haley, who was standing dumbfounded.
“Bianca Termina was ordered to be my bride, and I heard she was erased from the imperial family.”
Are you treating me like a fool?
Are you such a fool as to say such a flaw yourself?
“Then, what will happen? If it’s according to prophecy, obtaining Termina will free Barlock……”
“Haley Armor. I never thought such soft words like prophecy would come from your mouth.”
“I apologize.”
Haley immediately realized her mistake.
She had mentioned the humiliating position of Barlock, who was leashed in front of his master, even though it was out of loyalty.
“I misspoke.”
“I understand. It’s something to be expected.”
However, Gillian did not scold her, but rather smiled subtly.
“The prophecy isn’t important. I spoke out of line.”
“No, it’s important. It is important. And I’ve never failed before.”
Gillian Barlock.
He was a good master.
He playfully comforted Haley, who had hung her head in defeat.
Haley bowed deeply to Gillian, who was trying to sound cheerful, and mumbled an apology.
“Anyway, prepare for the wedding.”
“When do you expect the ceremony?”
“Well, it will probably be after the wave ends.”
At his words, Haley nodded calmly.
“It would be best to fit the dress by next spring.”
“Discuss the date with the lady. After all, the lady’s opinion will be the most important for the wedding.”
“Then, may I directly discuss the dress and jewelry with the madam?”
“Do that. If there is anything needed, let me know.”
It seemed like their conversation had concluded.
Just then, Julie, who was passing by with new sheets for Bianca’s bedroom, casually chimed in.
“But, when are you preparing the proposal?”
“Prepare?”
“Yes, these days, it’s trendy to give a ring, bouquet, and even a mine.”
A ring, bouquet, mine?
Following Julie’s words, Gillian repeated, and Haley’s eyes narrowed.
“You’re not just saying this, are you?”
“……”
“Did you hear the answer?”
Gillian didn’t respond.
In the prolonged silence, Julie said something.
Preparing for a wedding without an answer to a mere proposal.
“Isn’t this a command, not a proposal?”

Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“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.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

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.]
