Chapter 107 – 11. Gifts.
* * *
5 days later.
Aran’s party departed through Soyul Port and arrived at Constantinople, the capital of Persia.
Of course, before that, Katarina set out on her own to conquer the pirate islands.
“Welcome. You’ve worked hard.”
Cornelia was the first to come out and greet me.
Besides her were Illyana and Juana, with opposite expressions.
“Mother.”
Aran hugged Cornelia.
Her size her is quite small, making her look like her father is holding her daughter her, but she is quite the opposite.
After the hug with Cornelia, the hug with Illyana.
Juana’s expression twisted slightly.
“Anyway, there are people I haven’t seen.”
Cornelia’s gaze turned to her mother her.
Even so, she was monopolizing the attention of those around her thanks to her beautiful looks her.
She stepped forward slightly and raised the hem of her skirt to greet her.
“My name is Moae Yueun, the first princess of the Mei Empire.”
“?!”
All the people who came out to meet me were surprised.
Why did the princess of the Mei Empire come to Persia?
“From now on, I will serve Prince Aran as her wife his. Please take good care of me.”
“…..?”
The eyes of Cornelia, Illyana, Juana, and Ayla fell on Aran.
Meant to clarify.
“Uh… Somehow it happened… It happened like this.”
“…”
What the hell, how can the prince of the country who was ignored as a barbarian bring her to her empire’s princess, even if she is it’s her first princess her, even though it’s her her next emperor her?
No matter how much she entrusted her with full power, the situation was not entirely understandable.
“… Anyway, nice to meet you.”
But she can’t be idly by that.
If she is the princess of the Mei Empire, she is the highest state guest no matter where she goes in the world. It’s polite that she welcomes you as her wife her.
At Cornelia’s greeting, Moae slightly lowered her head.
* * *
“Mother, this is ridiculous! Marrying a princess of the Mei Empire! I’m sure something was ripped off like that!”
As soon as he came inside, Juana questioned.
This is because Arandeung was sent back to the room, worried that he would be tired from the voyage.
“… I’m worried about that… But even if that’s the case, giving the first princess as her wife her is a bit strange.”
“He must have sent him in as a spy. The man was seduced by his beauty and grabbed him!”
“…”
Cornelia frowned.
Whatever the reason, it’s not a very pleasant situation.
“First, let’s listen to the report in the evening and think about it.”
“…As expected, you shouldn’t give full power to a man like that. It’s so easy to get over it.”
Juana left her room without saying that.
It was rude to her, but she didn’t even think about catching it.
‘…What are you thinking? Emperor…Aran…!’
Cornelia, who was left behind, couldn’t help but put on a complicated expression.
.
.
.
“It was a commotion.”
Ahead of the report, Moae came to visit.
She had a slightly tired expression.
“Maybe it’s because I’m so beautiful, people talk about me from all over the place. I guess anything suitable is good. If I were a hundred times more beautiful than I am now, I’d be the world’s most beautiful woman. “
“…Anyway, let’s go.”
“Why am I coming with you? I’m not even a Persian nobleman.”
“It’s a report and banquet.”
“Well…”
She was worried
If it’s a banquet, you can’t miss it.
Because
Because she needs to spread her beauty her.
“Then let’s go.”
She brushed her long hair.
“I’ll let everyone know that there are other beauties in the world like mine. In other words, I’m a walking enlightenment.”
Aran slightly ignored her and went ahead.
“Now, don’t ignore me for a second!”
Moae followed her.
Then Hancock joined, followed by Lamias.
“Whoops. Your Majesty must be surprised. What kind of expression will he make when he finds out that half of the Throdia Peninsula has been handed over!”
“I’m more curious about Her Highness her Juana’s expression her than her her. Hoho.”
“Ah, that’s right. That person was there too. For some reason, you sound sympathetic. A cow.”
“…Gong Yoo’s name doesn’t match the breasts, but for some reason, he speaks with a volume.”
“Are you going to fight now?”
“No way. How could I, a humble man, do such a shameful thing to the great Emperor Gong?”
“You’re doing it right now!!”
“Stop fighting. And what kind of fight isn’t developing that much.”
“It’s because she does n’t have dignity. A woman who is not beautiful is really ugly. Since her face her does n’t have dignity, she naturally says and behaves like that.”
Ramias to Hancock. And as Moae intervened, it became very noisy.
To the extent that Aran, who was caught in the middle, could not mediate.
At least, Lamia was on the side of staying still, but Hancock and Moae clashed like oil and water.
It continued until they reached the banquet hall and then stopped like a lie in front of the banquet hall.
“Hoho. A lot of people must be nervous. It’s the first time you see the true nature of beauty.”
“I do not know…”
As we approached the door a little further, the guard opened the door with a loud introduction to the party.
A lot of people’s eyes gathered beyond the door.
“Whoops. Everyone is paying attention to me.”
An orchestra that enhances classy interiors and class.
And a vocalist who resounds the hall.
They resonated as if they were Aran’s marching song.
“Did you hear? The person next to me is the mother princess of the Mei Empire.”
“Yes. I heard. You got her as a wife… Then you must have lost that much, right?”
“This is why you shouldn’t trust men…”
“Shh! Be quiet. He is the Emperor’s favorite.”
The sound of whispering stuck in Aran’s ears.
“Tsk tsk tsk. They say they’re from Throdia, but they’re even selling out the country.”
“This is why there is a saying that when a rooster crows, the family is ruined.”
“Ehh. It’s the end of the world. The end of the world.”
Some great nobles even spoke openly.
Aran was in a bad mood, but thinking about their expressions after the report came to him as a strange pleasure.
He ignored the whispers of the nobles and walked towards the front.
Cornelia sat on the highest seat, and Juana sat below it.
Seeing that she was in a higher position than the princesses such as Illyana and Ayla, it seemed that she was thinking of sealing her as the crown princess in this position.
Aran knelt down in front of the lofty Taeui (太椅) and bowed once.
All the nobles who had been laughing and talking until then, all the musicians who were playing, and all the vocalists who were boasting of their voices all stopped and fell silent.
“Your Majesty. Following your Majesty’s orders, we went to the Mei Empire and negotiated.”
A rather familiar tone came out of Aran’s mouth.
“Yes. Report the results.”
Aran took out the scroll from his bosom and unfolded it.
I read the results with the loudest possible voice, and the more I read them, the more the expressions of those who didn’t expect much and those who were worried became more and more surprised.
“Therefore, the lower peninsula of the Throdia Peninsula. In other words, Troyes, Cora, Karma, Loana, Roishi, and Logos were acquired. The right to do so has been acknowledged.
Along with the acknowledgment of these territories and political and economic interests, they were officially recognized as the country name ‘Persia’, and they were imprinted and promised that His Majesty the Emperor of the home country was on an equal footing with their Emperor.. ..(Omitted) …. Hereafter, I report it to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Persian Empire.”
Aran rolled up her scroll and handed it to the eunuch next to her.
She took it politely and brought it to her Cornelia.
Buzz buzz.
The venue became noisy like the market floor.
Unexpected achievement.
Aside from anything else, it was unimaginable to bring the names of the lower peninsula of Throdia and Persia at the same time.
To think that even the king of Throdia could be appointed there.
This meant that, if done well, the entire peninsula could be made into a Persian domain.
Cornelia, who received the report from the eunuch, read it in disbelief.
Her words heard from Aran were unbelievable even for her.
‘This… This… Makes sense?’
I wondered if the grades were so low that I had manipulated it, but I didn’t think I would have manipulated something that would be discovered in just a few days.
“…Is this really true?”
Cornelia doesn’t understand even after reading it.
“Everything you have read and heard is true.”
“…”
She was in trouble
It’s definitely a huge achievement.
But that’s why I couldn’t help thinking about the Mei Empire’s intentions.
Although the Seorae she knew was indolent, he was by no means an incompetent emperor.
‘He’s thinking about something.’
The gaze lowered to read suddenly reached the top of Juana’s head hers.
And thoughts flashed like lightning.
‘No way…!’
It was a thought so precarious and shocking that it woke her up.
‘That damn bitch…Do you even know that much?’
Complicated thoughts.
The danger that the situation prepared for the future of the children might act as the ruin of the country has risen.
‘Yes…Then I can understand why he sent Princess Moae as Aran’s wife.’
She bit her lip tightly.
She is a woman who can never be caught off guard.
Meanwhile, the chairman was noisy because of the nobles even when Cornelia seldom answered.
“Did you hear that? Does this make sense?”
“Well… Couldn’t it be manipulation?”
“Ah… It will be revealed sooner or later, so how can I manipulate it?”
“But…”
Each expressed surprise, some expressed joy, and some expressed anger.
“This is clearly a manipulation! Got the lower half? Does that make sense?!”
“That’s right. No matter how much you claim to be a prince, there can be no nongdan like this.”
Fast.
Juana gnashed her teeth.
I don’t know how I did it, but it produced an unbelievable result.
‘What the hell… What the hell is this?’
She couldn’t help but feel sick to her stomach as she knew the great kingdom of Aran.
