Chapter 775 – #96. Jinhaesol (79)
Doesn’t this just sound like a provocation?
From the look on Bianca’s expression, it seems I didn’t hear it wrong.
It was a completely scratched expression.
If I left it like this, it seemed like something big would happen.
I grabbed Bianca’s wrist, feeling that I had to somehow separate them.
“Let’s go. He asked me to take a tour of the imperial palace.”
“…”
Bianca, who was agonizing over whether or not to lose it, obediently moved her feet as if she had no choice but to let her go when I said she would show me around the imperial palace.
“You’ve held up well.”
She slipped out of the Empress’s palace, and gave her a pat on the shoulder as a sign of her praise for her kindness to Bianca.
They say they are hungry for praise, so what should they do?
He’s a bad guy to the core, but isn’t he the guy who works for me?
I want to scold you for what you do, but when you get angry, I feel pity for you…
‘Anyway, he’s a guy who has something to make people upset about.’
It hurts my heart to see him look sullen and unresponsive.
“He said he wanted to tour the imperial palace. Will he continue to be uncharacteristically sullen?”
“Can I stop pretending to be sullen now?”
“…Was it acting?”
“The owner said to please the empress. So I worked hard.”
Damn.
“Aren’t you offended by what the empress said?”
“Why am I offended by him? The only person who can hurt me is Master.”
“Ha…I was really surprised when I thought you were hurt.”
“Huh-huh, I was very moved. I thought my master would let me go and get on well with the empress.”
Did I look like such a heartless person?
“Leaving you alone when I’m the only one you know here? That’s nonsense.”
“Hehe, it’s a pity~ I was going to secretly run away and have a lot of accidents.
“Absolutely not. I won’t let you go by my side while you’re here, so there’s no way.”
“Hee hee.”
“Why are you laughing when you say no? Make people anxious.”
Bianca squats next to me and crosses her arms.
“Hey, this is the palace.”
“I don’t know such a thing~ I couldn’t even shout because of my master today, and I was completely beaten by the empress, so you have to comfort me. Ah! That’s right, should I call you Your Majesty? Your Majesty~”
“Uh, just call it what it’s called. Do it in front of the empress or for a while.”
I don’t know why I’m ashamed to be called Your Majesty by his mouth.
Even when he was first called His Majesty here, it wasn’t easy to adapt.
However, when Bianca calls her by that title, she feels different and embarrassed.
‘It feels like playing house.’
If you think of playing house with Bianca, the background will change to a bed.
And, as expected, Bianca whispered in my ear with a strange smile, as if she had the same thoughts.
“The master will become your majesty, and I will become the master’s concubine. By the way, I am a concubine who is very much favored by His Majesty the Emperor.”
“Just imagining it is thrilling.”
What if Bianca became her concubine?
“Huh-huh, you’re lucky I wasn’t born here. You probably had all the fun of seducing His Majesty like a witch.”
In my opinion, Bianca seemed to be comparable to the villains in history who were said to have ruined the country.
“No matter what kind of person you are, you can’t do that much. You have enough ability. But if you were born in this world, at least you wouldn’t have been able to seduce me, right?”
“I’m angry, but the master accepts it. Because he’s the only one who can hold and shake me.”
“That’s what it is, but I’m not giving affection to the people here. On purpose.”
“On purpose?”
Anyway, I am the one who has to leave this place at any time.
What would you do if you gave it to me?
It’s not that I can’t be held responsible for them.
“That’s why I wouldn’t give her affection, so there would be no existence of a favored concubine.”
“I thought the owner was doing something fun, but it seems he was just having fun.”
“Am I doing this for no reason? I have no choice but to do it to earn coins.”
In the end, everything is because of coins or money.
I belong to a relatively successful life and have a lot of money, but unfortunately, coins were a commodity that could not be obtained with money.
“If it’s that serious, even if I’ve been here for a while, there’s not much I can do about it.”
“I just think you came on a trip with me comfortably.”
“…The master is really mean.”
“Suddenly?”
“Why is it so out of the blue? It’s mean because you play with my heart!”
“Aren’t you playing with my mind?”
Looking at Bianca, she always used to make up her mind.
Because I don’t know what could happen.
So you’re leaving the blame on me?
I laughed at it because it was ridiculous, but I changed the topic because I wanted to see Bianca at work.
“Do you really have to go all the way to the nobles?”
“I’m not asking you to introduce yourself. I’m just saying that I’m hiding next to my master in a palace outfit. When I go on a trip, it’s best to look around and eat something delicious, right?”
“…That’s right.”
The fact that she became the emperor who ruled the empire seemed to continue to stimulate Bianca’s curiosity.
She said ambitiously that she would see what I would do as emperor.
She once told me to think of it as if she were on a trip, so she really decided not to stop me from acting like I was on a trip.
“Then you should be quiet.”
“Yes~”
It was true that it was better to look lively like that than to be depressed after being scolded by the empress.
He gestured to the courtier, who had been placed far away so that the conversation could not be heard.
“Take one of the clothes you wear and put it on.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Bianca changed into a courtier’s outfit and joined the crowd of courtiers following me.
And she naturally followed me around all day.
Without having a big accident like I was worried about.
♧ ♧ ♧
“I didn’t like him from the first time His Majesty mentioned him…But after meeting him, it’s not different from what I expected.”
I understand that this is the first time His Majesty has spoken of someone with whom he is personally acquainted.
That’s why I needed to find out what kind of person he was.
It was because of the idea that if he knew someone before he became emperor, he could try to use him recklessly after he became emperor.
Furthermore, when I said that I would meet ‘that person’, His Majesty even expressed concern.
‘I expected that it wouldn’t be normal, but it turns out that she’s a bitch like a fox with multiple tails that are difficult to deal with.’
The empress once again recalled the hateful face that had pretended to quietly accept her admonition.
‘Even among her concubines, there is no one who does something like that…’
The problem was the emperor’s attitude.
The concubines, who acted like foxes, posed no threat to the empress.
Why?
At that time, the emperor did not show any reaction to the concubine’s foxy behavior.
The emperor was a person who treated the empress properly.
‘He was the one who knew that the order in the internal affairs would be corrected that way.’
He is a person who prefers stability rather than chaos.
The empress evaluated him as a person who could be compared to a wife, except for his excessive obsession with women.
But for some reason, the woman who introduced her today couldn’t maintain her nonchalant attitude.
As much as that, it must mean that a woman named Bianca is a person who has a great influence on the emperor.
And that gave the empress a sense of crisis.
“She thinks she might come in as her concubine.”
“We will not stand still if we behave insolently like today in front of Her Majesty.”
As if the courtiers had made up their minds, they received her words in a solemn way.
“…She has so far not distinctly favored any one concubine, Your Majesty, but I guess that may be different in her future.”
She felt that the woman would bring trouble in the internal affairs.
Rather, the empress comforted her dizzy mind, saying that it had been too peaceful up until now.
But it wasn’t just because she was worried about the internal affairs that would confuse her dizzy mind.
Because she is her own person, she couldn’t help but feel sick when she saw the emperor showing a clear interest in another woman, even though the relationship was formed through political ploys.
Thinking back to the act of trying to introduce such a woman to him and helping her with her work made me laugh out loud.
‘You told me to bring a woman who would eat my master and use her limbs…’
Fortunately, he liked it even more when she rejected her offer.
‘At least her majesty isn’t using the woman to plot something about her.’
But that woman will always be the source of trouble.
I had such an instinctive intuition.
However, she did not intend to openly show her feelings to her emperor as if she were a minion.
It was because it seemed obvious that Her Majesty cared for her even when she pretended not to be Her Majesty.
‘Because there must be affection that has been accumulated over the years.’
Compared to her weight, she felt bad, but there was a good chance she was worse than that woman.
It was also infuriating that the only thing that gave her the upper hand was that she was an official ‘married couple’ to him.
“She needs to know everything she does inside the palace. You must not take your eyes off her even for a minute, even for a second. Do you understand?”
“Yes!!”
The courtiers’ eyes twinkled at her command.
Due to the curse-related incident this time, the courtiers felt guilty for not being able to properly protect Her Majesty.
Then, at last, he was entrusted with a job for Her Majesty.
For the honor and future of their lord, they vowed to find out everything about a woman named Bianca!
