The canary trembled.
“Your Excellency! Did I not clearly say the dress code was blue?”
The reproachful voice was bristling with thorns.
Casius looked at the canary with an indifferent face.
Irritation was contained in his eyes.
“Canary. To Sir Casius, or now, should I say, the duke? The Emperor has publicly promised to bestow the title of Duke upon Sir Casius. It seems quite rude to address Duke Casius in that manner.”
Empress Lenisha flaunted her soft voice.
The canary gritted her teeth, her face turning red.
“The official announcement has not yet been made, so the title of ‘Sir’ is appropriate. And by birthright, Sir is beneath me. Therefore, it is not a problem if I address him as such. However, Canary is using respectful language out of respect for the Sir.”
“If you think so, then so be it. Ah, and as for the dress code, do not fuss too much. I made the decision.”
A faint smile hovered around Lenisha’s lips.
The nobles’ eyes turned towards Lenisha.
“It seems I made a mistake in my request.”
As if it were a mistake!
Canary’s eyes sharpened.
“……Lady Canary is the Emperor’s person.”
Casius spoke in a heavy voice.
“The Emperor’s person sent me such an invitation, so I responded, thinking it was His Majesty’s will. And this is merely in response to the gift from Her Majesty the Empress.”
“It seems so, Canary. Do not place too much meaning on it.”
Casius pulled away Canary’s hand and took a seat in the empty chair.
He was at his wit’s end from the invisible struggle for power.
That’s why he didn’t want to get involved in the nobles’ fight, yet somehow, he had been drawn into it.
Casius gritted his teeth and drank some cold water.
‘She’s playing with me.’
Casius glanced at Lenisha. Her smiling face directed at him……
‘Damn it.’
Casius bit his lip tightly.
Casius still could not understand Lexus, who insolently brought his concubine into the palace and insulted his wife.
Furthermore, Lexus had trampled on Lenisha’s life by doing something he shouldn’t have.
Lenisha was left alone, and the fence that could protect her had crumbled.
Who would protect Lenisha?
That’s why he could understand Lenisha, who wanted to insult Canary, even if it meant using Casius.
He had no choice but to understand the situation that made that woman miserable……
The unknown was Canary.
What alliance she had with Casius that she tried to use him.
Lenisha frowned at Casius.
‘You match well, Sir Casius.’
Casius swallowed a hollow laugh.
Somehow, he had the illusion that he had been waiting for that compliment.
He was childishly pleased.
In the meantime, the melody filled the gap.
Canary’s murmuring breath was ringing behind his back.
“……Sir, it seems you don’t know the etiquette of social circles. You must have a partner at such a place.”
“Please understand, it’s because I’ve been on the battlefield for the past 8 years.”
Casius, cutting off Canary’s words, spoke indifferently and pulled the chair next to him.
“Please sit, Lady Canary. Do I have to seat you myself?”
Canary rolled her eyes and looked around.
She refused to be the laughingstock in this place any longer.
Canary sat down in her seat with a rough gesture.
Casius was as unfortunate as Lenisha.
Since entering the Emperor’s bedroom, the first to insult Canary like this was Casius.
Excluding Lenisha!
“Now that everyone has taken their seats, let’s start the tea party. Thank you all for accepting this invitation after our meeting. Not long ago, His Majesty hosted you all for a banquet, so as the hostess of the Imperial Palace, I must serve you all with refreshments, shouldn’t I?”
Empress Lenisha’s voice was like a fluttering flower, yet at the same time, it was like a tree with a firmly hardened core.
Casius’s gaze had never once left Lenisha.
‘I have a story to tell.’
He still hadn’t relayed what he had promised to Duke Rotera.
It was the words left to Lenisha before his death.
It weighed on his mind, and his gaze kept returning to her, the only one familiar to him here.
Additionally, she was someone who attracted attention.
Even as Lenisha spoke with the nobles, she occasionally glanced at Casius.
Her soft lips seemed to be raised in good spirits.
“Ahem!”
The tea party had been going smoothly until Canaria coughed uncomfortably.
Canaria made a clinking sound as she sipped her tea.
People’s eyes turned inevitably towards Canaria.
“Your Majesty the Empress. Have you heard the story that’s going around?”
“Going around?”
Lenisha responded with elegant words. The ladies’ fanning grew faster.
“Yes. My goodness, I heard the servants of the palace talking… The Emperor His Majesty is promoting the engagement of Sir Casius.”
Upon hearing this for the first time, Casius’s brows furrowed.
The tea he had been drinking without tasting suddenly went down the wrong way.
“Cough!”
Casius managed to clear his throat and said,
“What on earth are you talking about?”
The protagonist didn’t know about the plan being devised by the Emperor.
