“Your Majesty, why are you giving us this opportunity? We have no reputation or anything yet.”
“So, can’t you do it?”
As I bluntly replied, the hesitant architect clenched her teeth.
“No, we can do it. We will make it a banquet that will go down in history.”
“I’ve seen all the graduation projects of architecture students for this banquet. Among the numerous works, the most eye-catching were yours.”
This was half-true, half-false.
I didn’t have time to see all the graduation projects.
I had specifically asked for the top graduates in architecture who had yet to build a building and selected from them.
The other two architects’ faces brightened at the mention of their abilities being recognized.
I patted everyone’s shoulder once as a way to affirm and moved on to the next item.
“If you successfully complete this banquet, I promise sponsorship from the Achilo Ducal House to all of you. So don’t disappoint me.”
“We will do our best…!”
“Good. Go and have your meal.”
With that part finished, I wondered what was next.
“Your Majesty, we have brought all the types of champagne currently in the palace!”
I had never understood why the palace had seven reception rooms that were rarely used, but now as Empress, even that wasn’t enough.
I entered another reception room to check the barrels and glasses of alcohol displayed there.
“This one’s color is too muddy. Remove all the reds.”
“Yes! That leaves us with these three.”
“Try them all. We’ll use the one that gets the most votes.”
I nodded to the maids trailing behind me, and they quickly filled the glasses.
They were all probably tired from preparing for the banquet, so a glass of low-alcohol champagne would be welcome.
“If I may say, I liked the third one the best.”
“Me too.”
“Me as well!”
Then the third type it is.
Preparing for this banquet, I often sought the opinions of those around me.
Rather than giving the impression of doing everything my way, a ‘banquet created by everyone’ is easier to defend if any problems arise later.
A banquet I made alone is one I have to deal with alone, but if someone tries to sabotage or attack a banquet created by everyone… they will all stand up to defend it.
Besides, I needed the image of a ‘communicative Empress.’
“You’re not as sensitive as I thought, Your Majesty.”
“Right. There were rumors you were a difficult person.”
“It seems the rumor got distorted. Even the maids were smiling and drinking champagne with Her Majesty the Empress. I managed to get a glass myself.”
“What? She gave you that expensive champagne too?”
“Mhm. Her Majesty ordered to bring a barrel of champagne. The other servants in the reception room all got some too.”
“Wow, that’s amazing. Was it heavenly? Is the champagne the nobles drink really different from what we drink?”
“Her Majesty the Empress, she’s a good person…”
I, accompanied only by Derrick, paused my hurried steps to the next location upon hearing the chatter beneath the window.
The maids were bustling about with laundry, chattering away.
‘I did steer them towards praising me… but hearing it firsthand feels awkward.’
To avoid getting caught eavesdropping, I hastily quickened my pace, inadvertently tripping and stumbling. It wasn’t intentional at all.
“Your Majesty, be careful.”
“Uh… thanks, Derrick.”
Naturally, it was Derrick who caught me in a flash, preventing my fall.
“You’ve had too little for breakfast and lunch. You might get anemic.”
“Anemic? Nonsense. I’ve never felt as lively and cheerful as I do these days.”
“I… well…”
Derrick started to say something, then stopped and firmly shut his mouth.
I was still in his half-embrace, not having been released yet, somewhat akin to being snugly held by a winter bear, which wasn’t unpleasant.
Looking up at him with my head tilted back, I suddenly spoke.
“Derrick, you actually wish I hadn’t left my bedroom, don’t you?”
