49. The imperial party was held.
On the day of the imperial party.
I got up early in the morning and went to the entrance of the duke’s residence. There, a large carriage with the emblem of Duke Descartes and ten knights were waiting.
‘Did the duke prepare it for you?’
I think Eden made these preparations. Looking at the attitude of the knights and the condition of the wagon, it seems that the duke prepared it himself.
‘Looks like he’s been paying attention since he’s doing business lately.’
If you fail like this, you will reap everything. Because that was the characteristic of a duke.
“Tsk.”
As I stood next to the carriage, one of the knights clicked his tongue and turned his head away. It seems the other knights don’t look good on me either.
‘It deserves to be so. I lost everything as soon as I arrived.’
But looking at their faces, I don’t think they’re the ones I’m looking for. Are you just hearing rumors and not liking them?
‘It’s not something I know.’
I stood in front of the wagon with a sad face. It seemed like the knights kept sending lives and muttering while clicking their tongues, but honestly, there wasn’t much damage, so I stayed quiet.
“Are you still swearing like this?”
“A toxic bastard. You say you’re a member of the royal family, but you don’t even think about the people, do you?”
“You bastard. If it wasn’t for the duke…….”
You have a bad mouth.
The reason they were so mad at me wasn’t because they were beaten so hard that their colleagues were scolded. They get even more pissed at the thought that even their position was ignored.
In terms of the title of knight, it is the second highest position to nobility. It’s okay even if you’re almost a semi-nobility. Those who become knights usually have high self-esteem in this area.
In other words, I touched a yoke that I shouldn’t have touched.
But I’m not relaxed enough to care about this. I’m also busy raising France.
‘When is France coming? ….’
As I looked up at the sky where the sun had not yet risen properly and bruised moderately, I heard the sound of chucking and matching my feet. Looks like Frances is here.
Ttogak. Again. The sound of France’s shoes resonates on this morning where there is no bird chirping. The dress is a basic dress. Seeing Helena bring her bag, she wonders what Andrea gave her, intending to wear later.
‘Well, that’s not bad either.’
Because advertisements have to make a strong impression.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Naturally, Frances helped her get on the carriage, and I followed her.
“How are you feeling today?”
“It’s okay.”
“Do you feel a headache or not?”
“Yes. I haven’t felt it lately.”
“It’s good.”
Frances looked out the window with a grin. She looks completely different than when she first rode with her in her carriage to her party. For some reason, I feel proud when I see it.
‘Wait.’
I shouldn’t have these feelings. It will definitely come out that the immersion will deepen.
‘… Fortunately, the voice didn’t resonate this time.’
Is there a trigger that I don’t know about, other than simply seeing and feeling France? This really gets in the way.
‘You have to know triggers with your personality as wealth.’
The future is bleak…….
“What do you think?”
“It reminds me of the past.”
“Old thoughts?”
“I remembered the first time I came.”
“Aha.”
France smiled lightly.
“I don’t think that much time has passed, but things have changed a lot since then.”
Sure. It’s been less than a year, but it’s like this.
“It’s all thanks to you.”
“Was it worth 500 million?”
“I went over it.”
Okay. Once the investment is worth it. Is the only thing left to give back with overwhelming net profits?
‘The rice cake table starts from now, so wait.’
I will show you what the vertical rise of the stock graph is. Thinking about the future made me smile.
“What are you thinking that makes you giggle so much?”
“No. This time, it reminds me of the old days.”
“Once upon a time, when you were in the kingdom?”
“Uh… That’s right.”
France’s expression darkened. I was just being mean in moderation, but I’m sorry if it came out like this.
France always sulks when talking about the kingdom. It deserves it. The time limit setting I made and the disappearance of my hometown are all the Empire’s fault.
Even if the loss of her hometown is second to her, her setting of a time limit will remain as the biggest scar for her. I continued with a light smile.
“Don’t worry too much. I have no idea.”
France narrowed her eyebrows.
“… I’m sorry to say this, but the people of Warenberg have been enslaved. The leaders have been purged. You are a member of the royal family, aren’t you sorry for these people?”
Um. If it was Jin from the character setting book, she would have felt sorry for her. It was because he had a lot of affection and a personality that could not tolerate injustice. But I’m not really Jin.
In the first place, it would have been impossible to save the people of the kingdom because they were held captive by the powerful slave imprint engraved by the transcendent wizard himself.
‘But… ….’
From noble mtl dot com
I thought about it before, but the questionable point here is that Jin doesn’t leave after France’s death and returns and appears as a boss. The owner of the imprint must have died and gained freedom.
‘How is their relationship going?’
I know it’s not just a simple bond between a slave and a master. What, did the two of them even develop into lovers? I don’t know if this is not the case either.
I answered appropriately based on my knowledge.
“I think so. It was wrong to wage war in the first place. If you really thought of the country and the king, you wouldn’t have thought of going to war. The difference in national power is overwhelming.”
A king who truly cares about his country and thinks of his people will protect his country even if his prestige is diminished. But the King of Warenberg couldn’t stand it.
As a result, the kingdom fell into abyss, and the people died or were enslaved.
Can this be called a king who truly cares about his country? Since it is a small country, we must judge as rationally as possible and escape the tyranny of the empire like a snake.
I know it’s not easy because it’s a diplomatic matter. After all, all of this is an act of forcing the sacrifice of a cow for the greater good.
I can’t help it, even if it’s cruel. Reality is not a movie.
Originally, kings, commanders, and leaders are in a position where they make choices that must be made, not perfect choices.
France tilted her head as if she didn’t understand me.
“… The King of Warenberg is your father, so can I say that?”
“You don’t see it as a family, you speak as royalty.”
At the story of the kingdom and the empire, France, who had a complicated expression on her face, opened her mouth with difficulty.
“You were looking at the underlying problem rather than the hatred of the outcome.”
“It is not a relationship between people, but a relationship between countries. Politics is like that.”
“… It’s a hard problem. Will there ever come a day when I will do politics too?”
“In this state, he will come. After starting this business, Princess will no longer be an ordinary lady.”
France is immersed in worry with a stiff face. Politics is scary. It’s not that i don’t understand Because politics can see all the ugly side of people.
“You don’t have to worry too much. The politics that Gongnyeo is worried about is always politics from the point of view of the weak. Princess Gong will do politics from the standpoint of the strong.”
If it’s necessary, I can do it secretly.
“Doing politics from the standpoint of the strong?”
“Yes. It starts at the position of A from the beginning.”
“Does that make politics a little easier?”
“Of course. Because the opponent is looking at the princess.”
France tapped her chin and fell into trouble. Are you running some kind of simulation again this time?
“Mmm. Yeah, I think you know what I mean. You’re saying there’s no problem as long as I don’t slip because you’re holding the initiative, right?”
I said correct and nodded.
“Yeah, I got that. But what do you mean I start at the position of A? Are you using your position as a princess?”
A smile came out at France’s question.
“Of course, there is the title of princess, but there are others. Has your first business just started? This is not the end. There is still a lot left to do.”
There are still tons of opportunities to use the information from the game. I cleared all subquests and collected all the hidden pieces in a short period of a week.
Maybe it’s because I entered this world right after completing the strategy, but I still remember it vividly. Where and what is, what revolution will come to the empire in the future, and how fashion will change.
When all of this is completed, Frances will become the most powerful person in the empire. When that time comes, the work I have to do and the goal I have set are over. All that remains is to find a way to return to the original world.
“Didn’t the princess say that? He said he wanted to make everyone in the ducal family regret it. I’ll listen to that. And, when you reach the end, Princess Princess will be standing in a position that no one can touch.”
A position in this empire that even the sky-like emperor cannot touch. All possibilities are excluded so that even the main character, Saint Somire, cannot easily approach.
“A position no one can touch… ? I’ve never wished for that much…….”
Ha. Could it be that I have such a weak heart and no ambition? Since ancient times, people can rise higher only when they have big dreams and desires.
“Princess. Listen carefully. In the future, there will be many people who envy and envy her. Those people will do everything they can to bring her down, and she has to deal with them. I’d rather not let anyone touch it.”
If it is in an ambiguous position, someone’s arm may touch it and drag it down. But what if it’s high enough that you have to look up? No one can touch
“But you know. If I became a powerful person in the empire to that extent, wouldn’t the imperial family come in? I don’t think I would leave it alone if I had such a thorn in my eye.”
A sharp point. But there is a way too.
“I will tell you when the time is right. It’s meaningless information even now.”
“I don’t like to keep people waiting for things I’m curious about. Can you give me a hint?”
“Hint, it’s a simple matter. Think of the Crown Prince now. And that crown prince is the emperor’s successor.”
France’s eyes widened as if she realized something.
“Ah… ….”
“Do you know?”
“Yes.”
Rezef’s characteristics are inferiority complex, hot-tempered, and frenzied.
To put it in a word, it means that you can’t hold back your anger and go crazy because you’re filled with an inferiority complex.
I’m sure she has an inferiority complex to France. Then things get easier. If you start to get angry and go mad, you won’t be able to make a rational decision.
‘Because I had a terrible inferiority complex to Jin, who possessed me.’
While we were talking about this and that, the carriage stopped.
“We have arrived!”
I immediately opened the carriage door, and after escorting Frances, I followed her. The bag was placed in a wagon guarded by knights.
“By the way, is the duke not coming to the imperial party?”
“The Duke will come tomorrow. At that time, Duke So will come, and Prince Rhine will come too.”
“Apart from Duke So, is there any reason why Prince Rhine will come tomorrow too?”
“That person just has everything in his mind. After all, the heir to the duchy is Duke So.”
Um. Are you doing what you want because you are the second one with no responsibility? The family is good and there are no responsibilities. I envy you a lot.
“Anyway. Let’s go in now. Because you are my partner today.”
“I see. I will treat you with all my heart.”
The moment he was about to enter the imperial palace holding France’s hand.
“Princess Descartes?”
I heard a voice behind me and turned my head to find Somire.
With the Crown Prince of the Empire, Rezef Fedelian.
‘Are you going to get involved with those guys?’
