Don’t say such terrifying things, I only looked in because I heard a cry while passing by, she was about to say, but the empress had already left her presence.
She discovered herself abandoned in the empty room and sighed, consciously exhaling. Then, slowly walking, she locked the door and began to cry silently.
(This is a time separator.)
The empress headed straight for Crown Prince Orab’s room.
Orab was sitting in a comfortable chair in front of the balcony, and when he saw the empress, he smiled gently in welcome. His neatly trimmed silver hair, even to the edge of his neck, made his frailty seem noble.
“Is something bothering you, my precious mother?”
At her son’s question, the empress wore a comfortable smile. Her face, until now layered with anger, had melted like spring snow with just one word from him.
“What could bother me? I worry about you. My joy and concern all come from you, Orab.”
“Please be joyful for my sake, Your Majesty the Empress.”
The empress gently stroked her son’s shoulder before returning to the sofa.
“His Majesty has requested that the fox caught by Greyan at the hunt be stuffed. It is a valuable fox brought from an iron ore mine in the empire.”
Orab answered his mother soothingly.
“The empire has developed and now can meet its demand for iron ore. I am as happy as His Majesty.”
“You think deeply and grandly about the empire, Orab. But a fox is not an animal to be tamed.”
“…….“
“Greyan has fully recovered his health and is starting to gain the attention of nobles and officers. People now regard him as a power player. We can’t let the attention be focused on Greyan anymore.”
Orab’s health was a concern, so the 1st Prince’s Palace was very quietly managed. Outside, only the beautiful chirping of birds in the garden could be heard.
If a noisy bird flew in, the palace servants would hunt it down.
“What about that attention, just let it be.”
“…….“
What was her son saying? The empress stared at his pale face, resting against the elaborate back of the chair.
“The empire is now entering a period of stability. Even if I become the Crown Prince, the military forces will not forget Greyan, who fought alongside them. Perhaps I will continue to battle with Greyan’s shadow.”
“Don’t say that.”
Orab sat up quietly and looked back at the empress. The beautiful silverhaired man, who looked taller due to his thin body, smiled slightly and said,
“Request a competition from His Majesty. Ask him to watch the royal children show off their strengths and reveal their abilities, and then choose a successor.”
The empress’s eyes narrowed for a long time.
“There are things that will be too much for your body. Greyan will certainly target that weakness.”
“I also targeted his health issues. We will both do our best, Your Majesty the Empress.”
The empress’s gaze wavered.
Orab could not ride a horse or swing a sword. In that regard, he could not compete with Greyan.
Then all he had to do was shift the battlefield to his advantage. To the battlefield of secret plots and previous combat. He would not lose to Greyan there, especially with her protecting his back.
Orab’s gamblerlike proposal seemed to prove that he was worthy of the emperor’s title, and it pleased her.
But she could not bear to see Orel hurt and injured in the process. His health always made her sensitive.
It was a mother’s heart.
“Isn’t it fortunate enough not to see blood in the royal fight? His Majesty will not dislike the proposal either. You detest the memory of having killed your brothers directly.”
“……Are you confident?”
Orel got up from his seat and approached Mohu.
“Empress, this is like a journey. It’s walking to the destination where we must eventually go. I don’t have to forcibly encourage myself, the path is leading to where I want.”
The Empress laughed. How could she not be charmed by that?
Now, the only thing that could comfort her, who knew nothing of love, was Orel. The subsequent children only hurt her.
A child who has not received a father’s blessing could only be a mother’s wound. Though it is something that can never be uttered, it also becomes an unchangeable fact because it cannot be spoken.
“I’m thinking of going to see Count Roar.”
“Why the third lion? He is His Majesty’s man.”
“I want to ask for his daughter.”

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
