Chapter 172 – 18. Wait Juana.
Ayla, completely soaked in her wetness her, raised her thumb so that only Aran would notice.
“?”
Aran tilted his head, not knowing what she meant, but she felt that even that figure meant something tremendous to Ayla.
‘That move, too, must be to win the hearts of Juana and her sister her, right? Must be Everything Aran is doing right now should be seen as focusing on her older sister her.’
Imagining things on her own and coming to her own conclusions, she soon made a decision.
‘Even though she’s behind in the ranks of her wives, in Aran’s heart her, she’s not. For him… I have to be the best helper!’
Perhaps the other wives are unaware of this plan.
No matter how Aran, how could you say something like this! Even if you pack it well, wind is wind in the end. I can’t speak confidently.
But she is different.
In name and reality, the best magician and brainchild in Persia! He used his brain his, which boasts tremendous rotation speed, to see through (?) Aran’s plan his, so all he had to do was to help him without his wives’ knowledge his.
Of course, as a reward, Aran…
‘She said long ago that men and women who share secrets grow closer. Aran and I are just that. Whoop whoop. I’m sorry, sister. In the end, I guess I’ll be Aran’s number one seat.’
She chuckled and laughed.
“Ayla?”
“Oh, sorry. I just remembered something funny. Ho-ho.”
“…”
Juana frowned involuntarily.
‘What…?’
A rather ominous chill ran through his back.
Why is Ayla smiling?
As far as she knows, Ayla is already a woman who fell for Aran. Maybe she’s keeping an eye on herself, maybe she’s giving everything to Aran.
Does she suddenly burst into laughter?
Actually, laughing is not a big deal, but to someone who is very sensitive, it looks different.
.
.
After the meal, the women dispersed for their respective schedules.
Juana and Ayla also wanted to spend more time with Aran, but the princess is busy. Especially since Juana, the crown princess, is also in charge of part of state affairs, she has a lot of work to do.
“It’s relaxing.”
Although Cornelia, the emperor, was taking her time her.
Accompanied by Aran, she strolled through the imperial garden.
“Do you remember. This place.”
“Sure. You came yesterday.”
“Tsk…. You’re a guy who doesn’t have any romance.”
She, left alone with her maids bitten, makes her bitter face.
She seems to have something difficult to say.
“This is the day that the history of you and Yeo began, but it is also the day that the history of this country changed.”
“?”
“If I hadn’t had a son, I might have lost the war, and even if I had won, I would have been hurt even more than I am now. .”
Aran quietly listened to what she had to say.
“So this is the site where the history of this country has changed.”
Saying that, she was silent for a while, and then she threw a huge topic.
“I intend to step down within this year.”
“Yes?!”
Stepping down means, of course, that he will give up his power and position as emperor and hand over the country to the crown princess, Juana.
Then, in Persia, Juana will arrive, and her court her will unfold.
“You still corrected it, but what are you saying all of a sudden?”
“Shouldn’t you take a break, too? Go on a trip. Try lounging around.”
“Seems like that even now.”
“…A cunning fellow.”
She glanced at Aran.
She was cute enough to do that with her youthful face her, but her mood her was quite dark.
“Yeo has four daughters and one son. She doesn’t want to lose them all. I wish each of them a happy life in their own lives. Do you understand what I mean?”
“…”
Rumors are circulating that the Persian Empire is in crisis.
Of course, Aran and Huana are at the center of it.
Since the relationship between the two was not so good, it was said that after Cornelia died, a war would break out between the two countries, and each other would be defeated, and the Mei Empire would come in through the gap.
It is quite credible, so it is said that it is already accepted as an established theory in the dark.
Perhaps even saying that the relationship between Aran and Juana, which had been circulating among the nobles for a while, was intentionally spread to put the rumor to rest.
“If I don’t touch you first…I won’t hit you first.”
An answer that came after quite a long time.
It wasn’t too different from what she said to her the other day.
“I guess so.”
She closed her eyes for a moment.
It’s not just Aran and Juana’s problem.
Now that it has become such a coveted fruit, even if they stay still, they won’t let it go.
She opened her eyes
“Juana is changing. She will change. So she will pay attention to the Mei Empire and Terrin rather than him.”
“Yes? Duke Terrin?”
Even if the empire is different, why is the terrine suddenly appearing?
She is a woman who is working hard for Aran and the royal family more than any noble in the Great Kingdom. She is also Theodora’s mother.
“This country is Yeo’s country, but she is also that guy’s country. Just in case …. If you and Juana show signs of war, that guy will move. One way or another.”
“…”
For Aran, who felt her strength just a day ago, this is a part that can’t help but be nervous.
“Apart from his own inaction his, the faction he has is like a nation, so it should never be like that. Do you understand?”
“All right.”
Aran nodded her head, though he was embarrassed.
There is no reason to go to war with Juana anyway.
Before that, she’ll fall apart.
‘Should I hurry up?’
If it weren’t for Cornelia’s daughter, she would proceed without hesitation.
Her thoughts that he doesn’t want to make her sad make her hesitate again and again.
‘Let’s do it as little as possible… Even if it means deceiving my mother, let’s proceed like that.’
Eventually, white lies became a necessary evil.
“By the way, how the hell does the Duke of Terrine have so many nobles?”
“Yes?”
“Looking at it, a third of the nobles in the empire are said to be the Duke of Terrin… And half of them in my kingdom are from her faction her, so it’s amazing.”
“Ah, is that what you mean?”
Cornelia hesitated quite a bit, then she muttered, ‘It doesn’t matter,’ and then she said something strange.
“Aran, when there is someone you love and someone you don’t, who do you want to go with?”
“Yes? Of course… He is someone I love.”
“That’s it.”
“……Yes?”
What the hell are you trying to say?
She was taken aback by the remarks that seemed completely out of context.
“He’s holding the nobles with love. In a sense, that’s great.”
“… I don’t understand her very well. Are you saying her are in love with her?”
“Well…”
She got into trouble again.
“What comes to mind when you say ‘slave of love’?”
“Love…Slave…?”
“It’s different from a normal faction. It’s driven purely by Terrin’s words, so to speak, like a nation. Its power is the same as a nation’s, but even its nature can be called a nation.”
“So you’re asking what the secret is.”
“…”
Cornelia stared at Aran, then let out a deep sigh.
“It’s a very annoying reaction. What does it mean?”
Cornelia put her hands on her waist and gave a pitiful look.
“You have to put the key words in your mouth so that you can understand them. It’s pitiful.”
Quick.
Aran with a large blood vessel mark pulled her cheeks left and right.
Woowook.
It stretched like glutinous rice cakes.
“Of course, I have to say the key words so they can understand!”
“Ahha haha! (It hurts, you cheeky guy!)”
“Tell me properly.”
When she let go of her hand, her cheeks turned red and swollen.
“Heh. He’s insolent about his son!”
“Tell me before you get more arrogant.”
“Huh.”
She took a pouting look and finally opened her mouth.
“He’s a technician. Just know that.”
* * *
“Sister.”
When the busy schedule was finished to some extent, a woman came to Juana’s room in her.
“……What are you doing here? Are you trying to threaten me again?”
“Oh, no way.”
She is ayla
She is also the one who conspired with Aran to drive Juana into her predicament.
‘This guy… Laughed badly earlier. After all, there is something.’
“Can I sit down?”
Before Ayla could give her permission to her, she sat down in a chair at a round table.
Juana sighed deeply as she approached.
After she sat down, her lady-in-waiting came in and displayed her refreshments of her.
“The tea is delicious.”
Ayla paused as soon as she was determined to turn her Juana inside out.
All she said was nonsensical things like the tea was delicious or the cookies were ripe, and she said nothing nutritious.
After spending 20 minutes like that, Juana finally said something.
“If you don’t have anything to say, just go back. I’m not such an idle person.”
“Oh, of course I know it well. The Crown Princess told me.”
“…”
Juana is moved by Ayla’s sarcasm.
A word almost came out at the moment, but Ayla struck first.
“Sister, do you like Narsi? I’ll help you. I will.”
