Chapter 398 – 34. Outrage.
+++
The world paid attention to the newly emerging woman.
She was originally a famous woman in Korea (only in the political and business world), but her face was sold almost all over the world through this work.
“That is all. I will take your questions.”
The second official interview with the identity revealed as a member of the harem palace.
As soon as Sonya finished her words, the 100 or so reporters in her hall raised their hands in unison.
There were so many things I had to ask about the series of events that had happened so far.
“I am Reporter Jeon Su-ah of the Korea Ilbo.”
“Yes. Please speak.”
“The same as the announcement just before, the bill announced last time, and the recent actions of maids belonging to the Tokyo branch of the palace, etc., All of them are making an angle with Japan, but there are considerable words of concern both domestically and internationally as well as from the Japanese authorities. Please elaborate on this.”
At the question of the young woman, Sonya thought for a moment before opening her mouth.
Her entire body flashed as camera shutters went off all around her.
“I am well aware that many of my subjects in Japan are perplexed and even angered by the order issued by the Ministry of Justice, including myself. However, this measure is an important axis of the Imperial Constitution, which is the foundation of this empire, and there is no room for reconsideration. Japan claimed itself as a colony of this empire through the Treaty of Palace in September, and as evidence of this, the complete cession of Tokyo City, the transfer of dungeon rights in a total of six areas, and the relocation of the princess’s residence to Gangnam were clearly written in the treaty. There is.”
“Are the terms of enlistment included in the treaty?”
“There is no provision in the Treaty of Palace, but the ‘colonial law’ being drafted by the Ministry of Justice deals with ‘entry’.”
“There is a lot of talk about the adoption, but some point out that there might be a different purpose in naming the princess instead of the emperor or prime minister.”
“As I said, there is already information about the princess in the Treaty of Palace. Originally, Japan should have sent the princess to Gangnam right after the treaty was signed, but the emperor has not kept it, taking advantage of the unfortunate incident. It is just an action on it.”
Even after her question was over, the baptism of reporters did not end.
“I am Cho Gwang-seop, a reporter for the Gwangmyeong Newspaper. You kept talking about the grounds for colonizing Japan, but I would like to ask you more about the process of achieving it.”
“Yes. Please speak.”
“Recently, ladies-in-waiting belonging to the Tokyo branch trespassed into the Imperial Palace, where the Emperor resided, and conducted an investigation without permission from the authorities. There is. In the world, this spreads as if the minister had instigated it, but I want to ask if it is true.”
Sonya fiddled with the microphone for a moment.
“I didn’t buy it.”
The hall becomes noisy for a while.
The reporter stuttered.
“Well, then, are you saying that the Tokyo ladies-in-waiting were arbitrary?”
“No. Using the legitimate authority of the Minister of Justice, we requested and commanded cooperation from the relevant ministries.”
“… Party… One authority?”
Someone muttered the right question, but no one cared.
It was because everyone was busy talking to the fellow reporter next to them.
“So, you mean you directly ordered the trespassing of foreign holy places to pressure the Japanese government?!”
A reporter standing at a distance raised his hand and shouted.
It was a place where reporters stood up one by one and exchanged questions, so she didn’t have to answer, but Sonya answered with a smile.
“I have no intention of putting pressure on the Japanese government. We just took legal action to catch the criminals.”
“Japan is a foreign country where Korean laws do not apply! Moreover, even if Korean law applies, I understand that there is no legal basis for forcible repatriation just for insulting the palace!”
“The laws of Korea and the laws of the empire are different. And since Japan is a colony, the laws of this empire are applied before the Japanese Constitution.”
“Yes?”
Slowly, crazy words started to come out.
“Then, why don’t you defeat the ladies-in-waiting in the Imperial Palace when you have already caught the culprit?”
“Because Japan is incompetent.”
“… Yes?”
At this point, the press conference is the jackpot of the jackpots.
No big party will end like this.
Sonya smiled strangely as she looked at the dumbfounded reporters.
“Now, let’s end the answer to this question. Please follow the order next time. Reporter Cho Kwang-seop? Please continue.”
“Ah? Yes…Yes.”
The reporter opened his mouth hesitantly after flipping through a few pages of the notebook he had brought.
“I… This is not a question about this incident, but a question about the minister himself,”
“Yes.”
“I heard that Mr. Lee Yu-na, the daughter of the minister, is the owner of the palace… She is my .. It is known that she is the prospective bride of the emperor, so then the minister becomes the emperor’s prospective mother-in-law, right?”
“That’s how it works.”
“… However, rumors are circulating that the minister himself is the emperor’s prospective bride. Which one is true?”
The reporters were alert to this question and focused on Sonya’s mouth her.
In fact, it is a secretly known fact.
Everyone knows that Sonya and Yuna are Yueun’s women at the same time.
But revealing this publicly is another story.
No matter what anyone says, Korea is monogamous, and bigamy and concubinage were illegal.
No matter how famous Yoo Eun is, having multiple official wives was another level of controversy.
Sonya answered simply in a serious atmosphere.
“Both are true.”
Of course, the content was never simple.
“Yes?”
Didn’t understand… No, reporters who are trying hard not to understand exactly, asked at the same time. With a glimmer of hope
But Sonya’s answer was the same.
“Both are true.”
“….”
Both the prospective mother-in-law and the prospective bride are true.
That meant that she would have a husband like her daughter her, but that was not acceptable in Korean sentiment.
“That is… Is it possible?”
“Available.”
“No… It’s physically possible, but… Socially… No, before that, is it acceptable for her lover to take another woman as her wife her?!”
A female reporter stood up and asked if she really didn’t understand, but Sonya answered simply.
“Love conquers all.”
“… He’s a human I can’t possibly love.”
Someone muttered a fact, but everyone tried to ignore it.
“Any other questions?”
“Uh, no….”
“Then let’s take the next person’s question.”
“….”
As she moved on to the next turn, the woman who had just stood up and shouted in question took over her microphone to her.
“… This is reporter Yoon Se-ri of the Ewha Telegraph. I would also like to ask you a personal question about the Minister.”
“Yes.”
“Recently, you had a sudden declaration ceremony as the Minister of Justice of Harem Palace.
“Well, it was quite famous.”
“You have made a very rare achievement as an individual lawyer, not from a former high-ranking prosecutor who receives the courtesy, and not from a large law firm.
“I probably won’t work as a lawyer in the future unless it’s a special case.”
“You seem to have joined in the early days of the palace, considering that you have already been inactive for several months, so why are you revealing yourself as a court lady only now?
“In the beginning, Mr. Seohyeon and other ladies-in-waiting were in charge of the face of the palace. Of course, even now, the first people who come to mind when thinking of the main palace are the emperor and the chief of staff. However, since this empire is gradually being called up in weight classes, I thought that the symbol should also be raised in weight classes.”
“Are you saying that the weight class you raised is the Minister himself?”
“Whoops. I will not comment on that.”
Even after the reporter’s question was over, countless questions poured in.
“You look quite young. Did you use an item?”
“Ms. Yu So-ra, who is famous for her saintly woman her, is also known to be the emperor’s prospective bride. Do you have a personal acquaintance with her?”
“She is the only one of the three brides-to-be who did not hold an engagement ceremony. Is it because of her divorce record of her?”
“I wonder if her daughter Lee Yu-na is also generous and tolerating this, even though she herself is okay with it.”
A huge number of questions.
There were some content that stimulated Sonya’s planting in the middle, but it went smoothly.
And the long-awaited last question.
“I am Hong Seon-hee, a reporter for Women’s Newspaper. I would like to ask you a question about this incident again.”
“Yes.”
“You said that leaving maids in the Imperial Palace was not to pressure the Japanese government.”
“Yes.”
“Then, I would like to ask what your plan is to do if the Japanese government continues to ignore your words and refuse to send the princess to join you.”
“Hmm.”
Sonya, who had been answering almost incessantly, held her silence for close to a minute for the first time.
The movements of the reporters who were nervous for no reason stopped at that sight, and the sound of swallowing saliva was heard here and there.
“Well, it could be.”
And the answer came.
It was unexpected.
Is it too gentle for a harem palace?
Could it be?
But after all, a harem palace is a harem palace.
“Like China did.”
“….”
