His face started showing a curious smile, contrary to my gradually darkening expression.
“If you do well as the standin empress till the end, then I will give you a cure that can completely erase the scar.”
“A cure that can not only hide but also heal the scar?”
I quickly approached Prince Tesler, whom I had deliberately been keeping a distance from, and asked with wide eyes.
“Yes. But if something goes wrong in the middle… you know, right?”
Suddenly, a question arose over Prince Tesler’s face, which felt vile.
“If such a medicine existed, why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
“Oh, my Zelda. Don’t misunderstand. I also only recently learned about the magic potion that can erase your burn scar.”
“I see….”
Of course, I didn’t believe Prince Tesler’s words.
Although my mind was spinning in complexity, the conclusion had been the same from the beginning.
There was no way out of this situation.
Even if I refused the position of the standin empress, I was forced into the carriage heading for the Raphion Empire.
The wisest choice was to get on the carriage graciously under the condition of receiving a magic potion that could cure the burn scar.
Just as Prince Tesler said, I was not in a losing trade.
However, this was only if I could survive without revealing my identity to Emperor Rinel.
“It’s much better to do this than to lose your country and be in the bad books of the Raphion Empire.”
Prince Tesler said with determined eyes.
“You won’t know how precious you are to me right now….”
Prince Tesler put my hands on his chest again and spoke affectionately.
Anyone would think he was confessing his love.
“Hmm, what should I do?”
Thinking only of the magic potion that would erase my burn scar, I asked.
The dark expression of Prince Tesler instantly brightened, and he hurriedly began to speak.
“Simple. Once Resilia arrives at the Raphion Palace, around that time, you can divorce the emperor. Not difficult, is it?”
“It’s not difficult, but my life will be at risk. Also, will he easily grant the divorce?”
As soon as I blurted out my words, I realized it was a really foolish question.
There would be no man who would not lose his heart upon seeing Princess Resilia’s beauty.
I worried needlessly.
“If Emperor Rinel sees Resilia, then he will easily divorce you.”
Prince Tesler stared at my face and subtly confirmed, ‘You understand what I mean, right?’
I nodded with an outwardly calm face, but inside I felt bitter.
‘I get it, now shut up!’
Those words came up to my throat, but I held my patience till the end.
“Considering it, the divorce won’t be difficult. Anyway, please find Princess Resilia as soon as possible.”
I spoke coolly as if I was just a person assigned a simple task.
“Yes! Thank you very much, Zelda….”
Prince Tesler tried to stroke my cheek, but paused.
He unconsciously lifted his left hand, then switched to his right, and touched my left cheek where there was no burn scar.
Then, he tilted his head as if to kiss me, and whispered near my lips.
“You are my benefactor. I will never forget this.”
‘You are my misfortune. I won’t forget this either.’
It was regrettable that my true feelings could not be conveyed with my eyes alone.
There was no kiss.
Of course, I didn’t expect one.
“Hmm, then when should I leave?”
“Today.”
This is madness!
I calmly asked again.
“Today, when?”
“Right now.”
“You’re joking, right?”
“The carriage is waiting outside.”
“…”
“There is a formal dress ready for you, so you just have to change and leave immediately.”
“…I see.”
I hurriedly said goodbye and turned around as I didn’t want to face Prince Tesler anymore.
“Ah, Zelda. There’s something I need to tell you in advance.”
He grabbed my wrist.
“When Resilia arrives at the Raphion Palace, rumors will spread quickly.”
“What rumors?”
“Rumors that you are secretly having an affair with another man.”
“What?”
“Yes, of course, it’s a ridiculous lie. But it’s inevitable to justify the divorce.”
“Do we really need to spread such rumors?”
I asked Prince Tesla with an unpleasant expression.
“A disgrace it may be, but it’s a way to get out of the Raphion royal family sooner, so it’s good for you in the end.”
“Is that really the best?”
“That’s the current situation.”
“Who would believe that the emperor is having an affair with another man?”
“Even if it’s hard to believe, Emperor Rinel would be displeased, so that’s enough.”
What about my discomfort right now?
I cursed Prince Tesla internally.
“Because it’s easy to assert divorce with the regent.”
“… Yes. I will leave now.”
I replied with resignation.
“Wait, have I ever said this? You’re beautiful, too.”
Prince Tesla quickly spit out his words as if he had forgotten what he had prepared.
“Do you really think I’m beautiful, Prince?”
“… Yes.”
A beat late response.
“If you hide the scar.”
Furthermore, he added a sentence that he didn’t need to add.
“And Zelda, if you come back, I think I’ll welcome you as my wife.”
Prince Tesla spoke as if offering a favor.
At those words, my face wrinkled.
Prince Tesla might be the object of all women’s envy in the Kingdom of ChateauNeuf, but I never wanted to be his woman.
And yet, a wife?
“Anyway, Emperor Rinel won’t touch you. So I won’t be particularly upset if I accept you as a wife when you return to the kingdom.”
“What? What are you talking about?”
“It’s information that the Emperor has never brought a woman into his bedroom so far. Do you know what that means?”
“Maybe he’s been picky because he hasn’t liked any woman so far.”
“That’s true. But Zelda, he’s in his prime. And he’s the emperor.”
“Then, could he possibly…?”
I spoke a word that suddenly popped into my mind.
“Probably.”
Prince Tesla nodded as he recognized the shape of my mouth.
“So you don’t have to worry about sharing a bed with the Emperor while you’re the acting empress. What do you think, are you relieved? If you come back, I’ll double the appreciation.”
He prattled on, brushing the back of his hand along my shoulder line.
“I refuse.”
“Do you mean you want to be my princess? Zelda, that’s a bit difficult….”
Ha, your misunderstanding is more difficult, you know?
“No, I just don’t like it.”
“Think again. I’m not defective like Emperor Rinel. Plus, do you think this handsome face is common?”
At the arrogance of Prince Tesla, my small foot capable of shattering marble was twitching toward his core.
I suppressed my anger and scolded Prince Tesla sternly with a stern look.
“Enough. I really hate handsome men!”
.
.
.
.
“What are you thinking?”
Said the really handsome man.
When I opened my tightly closed eyes, I saw a beautiful face far surpassing Prince Tesla looking down at me.
“Oh… Your Majesty.”
Suddenly, realization dawned on me.
I… really like it.
Handsome men.
“When I told you to raise your head, you closed your eyes. Now you’re lowering your head again as soon as you open your eyes. Why this guilty look all the time?”
His dissatisfied voice once again struck my chin.
“We’ll ring the midnight bell soon, shouldn’t we see each other’s faces properly?”
Emperor Rinel lifted my chin himself and murmured in a low voice.
“Ah!”
I was so surprised at his words about the midnight bell that I took a deep breath and accidentally fell backwards onto the bed.
As if he had been waiting for it.
He was momentarily taken aback and then looked down at me, saying.
“Temperament is hot … it seems. Anyone would think you’ve been waiting for this day.”
“!”
What? Did this damn Prince Tesla lie to me?
Emperor Rinel was a great catch, huh?
He’s impotent, huh!
