Chapter 772 – #96. Jinhaesol (76)
“Hehe, no. I was joking. You don’t have anything like that.”
“What?”
“But thanks to you, I found out one thing. You lied.”
“If I take you there, I’ll do all kinds of shit, so why would I listen to you?”
“I’ll be quiet and won’t do anything wrong. Doesn’t the owner need someone he can trust and entrust to work there?”
Of course it is necessary.
When I live there, I often wonder if there are people like this.
‘No matter how impatient I am, it’s not Bianca.’
She is a woman who is good at teasing people.
If it is released between the concubines, it is clear that dozens of dramas will be created.
“Master, even after experiencing this, are you saying you don’t need me? The concubine caused trouble. Oh, damn the world, cursing the empress! You failed this time, but do you think you’ll be able to do that next time?”
“You mean you can stop it if you go there? I think there will be more chaos.”
“Huh-huh! Do you think I can’t do it? Of course, there will be some pain in the beginning. Originally, you have to endure that much to tame wild animals.”
Put Bianca as the person who manages the concubines…
“If I go there, I will be by the empress’ side and help with the management of the concubine. Perhaps she is also looking for my help? How can I handle so many concubines by myself? Then I might faint from overwork.”
“…”
Certainly, it would be difficult for the empress to manage many concubines by herself.
Didn’t I just bring one or two concubines?
It is nonsense to care about all those concubines in the first place, and the concubines who fall within the range would be those of high status in the family or concubines who conceived my child…
‘That number will continue to grow steadily in the future. Mistress, you are suffering again.’
Bianca’s whispering snake tongue.
I was aware that I was being toyed with by it.
Nevertheless, it was difficult for her to refuse Bianca’s willingness to offer her hand, knowing all about her situation without any hassle.
Because if she comes there, it is clear that she will be much more comfortable when she thinks only of my position.
‘If it were Bianca, I’d find out before the concubines did anything, and let them do the opposite.’
I feel sorry for the concubines who were forced to live in the palace because of me, but if that happens, most of the empress’ worries will be filtered out in advance and she will be able to live a much more comfortable life.
What could be the reason for the empress to care about other people’s gazes and to always behave appropriately?
She is doing this to avoid getting caught by her concubines.
She had to show herself perfect so that the concubines would not dare to take over the position.
‘Wouldn’t it be okay if I prepared at least one Bianca for the empress?’
But there was a problem.
“It will only take a few months to capture the concubines? And without you, the work I did will be useless.”
“Oh, why am I grabbing the concubines? It’s the empress’s job to capture the concubines.”
“So you’re going to make the empress her face madam?”
“And the owner can take you often.”
“Hmm… I’ll think about it and decide.”
“Yes! Bianca, I’ll be waiting for you.”
I’m not cute, but I pretend to be cute.
The problem is that her appearance supports her so much that even if she loses her cuteness, she fits well.
This is Bianca, who has grown up proud and precious.
It was nonsense to say that she wasn’t good when she only showed her charms to me.
‘His personality is so trash…’
It would be nice if only the real personality could be torn apart and corrected.
What to do?
It was you who made it that way.
In the process of mixing the personalities of Sylvia (doll) and Bianca (body), there were times when I was influenced a lot by Bianca (body)’s personality and stayed quiet.
However, as time passed, it seemed that Sylvia (doll), who had a much stronger personality and assertiveness, had corrupted Bianca’s (body) personality.
As if she had become calmer now, Bianca revealed Sylvia’s personality in front of me.
‘I can’t even say anything because he’s only doing that in front of me.’
I was worried that I would count inside and count outside, but fortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case.
After postponing my answer for a while to clear my mind, I spoke to the empress who was with the main body.
♧ ♧ ♧
“Jim thinks it’s important to make sure that no matter what the punishment for this is, it doesn’t happen again in the future.”
In order to alleviate the empress’ low mood, I rushed to the empress’s palace as soon as I finished my political affairs.
He had heard good things from Melissa and Bianca, so he had a trump card ready to cheer her up.
“So I’m asking you, how about this punishment?”
“…?”
He conveyed Melissa and Bianca’s ideas to the Empress.
“If the empress is good, I’m going to punish her this way.”
“Thank you for asking my opinion.”
“Since the empress is the victim, of course we should ask for her opinion.”
“At that level… I don’t think it’s bad.”
Fortunately, the empress did not even reject this opinion, saying that she disliked it.
“However, the empress must take good care of her concubine.”
“As much as you like.”
“As far as I know, I’ve heard that he has a formidable personality.”
“No, that child will not be able to rampage any more. He has caused trouble to the family, so how can he carry his head high?”
In this world, nobles have a very strong obsession with their families.
In particular, I heard that women grow up receiving an education that is close to brainwashing from an early age that they have to work hard for their family.
Thanks to that education, men will continue to be the heads of households.
So, rather than directly punishing the concubine, giving the family a disadvantage was a more severe punishment.
It was for that reason that the empress obediently accepted this proposal.
“If he hears that his family almost suffered disadvantages because of him, he’ll probably come to his senses. There’s no way he wouldn’t know what would happen if he was abandoned by his family. He’d be happy if he said he could heal it with his own body.”
“Still, isn’t it embarrassing to have someone who did such a thing close to the empress?”
“You don’t have to be near me to wait on me. You have to do various things to serve me.”
The range of attendants is not all about serving close ones.
Rather, serving directly as an entourage of the empress or emperor was a luxury that could only be achieved with a high level of experience and high status.
Most of the courtiers worked for the emperor and empress in a place where they could not even see the hem of their clothes.
So the concubine would also use her body for the empress from a distance.
“And… I have one last question for you.”
“Please speak.”
“Managing the concubines will become more difficult in the future. As time goes on, more concubines will be pregnant with our children, and then the empress will have more things to take care of. I think they might be aiming for the empress.”
How did she misunderstand my words, the empress’ expression worsened.
“…Do you think my abilities are lacking?”
It was explained in detail to clear up any misunderstandings.
“That’s not the case. The problem is that there are too many concubines compared to the empress. The palace seems to need someone who can be trusted by the empress.”
“You’re asking me to make my side among the concubines. I didn’t know that His Majesty would care about things like this.”
“Is it too much of a meddling?”
“Your Majesty must have been very surprised by this, so I understand. I know that you are worried about me.”
I wondered how the empress would react to my words.
“Among the people in my family, did you have a young lady who cared about you?”
“Ohhap. There’s no such person. I’ve never even met him.”
I didn’t mean to be misunderstood…
I thought the misunderstanding had been resolved, but the Empress created an even stranger misunderstanding.
In fact, if she said that the palace needed more people from the empress’s family, it would be taken as the meaning that she would prefer to have more people from her own family.
Wasn’t she unaware of Bianca’s existence?
“If so, why…?”
“I don’t want the empress to be hurt or hurt by anyone. Don’t you know how difficult it will be for the crown prince if the empress goes wrong? I said this out of concern and out of a desire to protect the empress.”
“…She knew that the position of empress was never light. She was already prepared for it. But from now on, I will be more careful so as not to worry His Majesty.”
Even though she heard that I was worried, the empress hurt her pride, saying that she would do better in the future.
It seems to her that the fact that I bought her worries was something that hurt her pride.
I guess I should try to calm her down more seriously.
First, I grabbed her hand and put on a pod so she wouldn’t run away.
“…Why are you like this?”
A more blunt voice.
“I said this because I was worried about the empress, but what if she hurts her pride? And when she said this, she was trying to introduce the empress to someone who could be of help.”
“…His Majesty?”
“Even if you make the concubines into empresses, wouldn’t you be able to fully trust them? That’s why I thought it would be a good idea to introduce them to someone I can fully trust.”
Concubines are people who are in a position to take over the position of empress at any time.
In particular, concubines who gave birth to male children need to be more careful.
If it was Bianca, she would probably be able to serve the empress well.
Because she is by no means an incompetent woman.
“He’s a competent person. He’ll be of great help to the empress. However, since her disposition is a bit cruel, I wasn’t sure if it would be right to introduce her to the empress.”
“What is your relationship with Your Majesty?”
“What kind of relationship… If you go into specifics, it would be correct to say slave.”
I expressed that it was my property, and I had the awareness that it was mine, although not to that extent.
“If Jim tells me to die, I’m not just pretending to die, I’m a real risker. I can’t do anything to hurt Jim.”
Since she is an existence that must obey my commands, if I order her to move for the sake of the empress, she will gladly use her talents for her sake.
