Chapter 187 – Day 27 – The Unexpected Guest
When the moon above her head her shines brightest, Ceres bows to the woman in front of her.
“Welcome. Queen of Gregorio.”
“Is the princess at work?”
Hestia Gregorio.
Atop her elegantly braided brown hair was a small crown studded with pure white jewels. Wearing her white armor over her sky-blue dress, her figure showed that she was the true queen of Gregorio.
“The princess is currently looking at work in the imperial capital.”
“Is it this late…? No, aha…”
Hestia made a circle with the index finger and thumb of her right hand and pretended to poke the circle with the index finger of her left hand, with her small smile.
It was a pretty vulgar gesture, but Ceres was the only one who saw her hand movements of her because her hands were not raised openly of her and did not move significantly, but moved quietly around her belly of her.
“What you think is right.”
Ceres did not have to deny it. She was Hestia, who knew everything about her engagement her at her birthday party tomorrow.
“It’s fortunate that you’re still healthy. Well, the princess’s energy is amazing, as if she’s been blessed by God…”
Hestia, the queen, shortens her speech and moves her legs to rise from her subterranean to above ground. Behind her lay a cart full of Gregorian nobles and birthday presents.
“It’s amazing that even if the princess isn’t around, you can open her dimension gate to her with a bottle containing her blood to her.”
“The princess did an experiment this morning. Thanks to that, you can comfortably enjoy the game until dawn like this.”
“You said you were working earlier, but now you say you are playing..”
Hestia smiled lightly, and Ceres smiled lightly with an expression of oops. There was no reason for the two women to be on bad terms, so they talked in such a small way and climbed the stairs to the ground.
In front of the door, there were attendants waiting for Ceres’ orders.
“You guys from Gregorio, to help with the work.”
“Yes, Ceres-sama.”
More than 20 attendants quickly descended into the basement without having to speak for a long time.
“Since the princess is such a competent exclusive maid, every night she must be comfortable.”
“No. The princess has superior abilities than me.”
“If you’re talking about the body, I don’t think Ceres has a corner to lose.”
At Hestia’s words, Ceres stopped him.
For a moment, the two women looked at each other in silence, and Ceres covered her mouth with his gloved hand, bursting out with a small laugh.
“Hestia-sama… Such a joke…”
“Haha… There’s no way there’s a person in this empire who’s stronger than the princess, a member of the royal family.”
Perhaps it was an appropriate joke, Hestia said no more. She casually moved her legs to be guided to her prepared room and walked through the lavishly decorated corridors of the Imperial Palace.
On the right was a huge glass window with a clear view of the outside, and on the left hung beautiful paintings.
“These are pretty colorful paintings. Those colors… I heard they’re about the size of a gold coin…”
“A painting to be hung in the imperial palace is coming. Even a few gold coins are needed to complete it.”
“Not a luxury item on the surface, but in the eyes of those who appreciate it, they are outrageous items.”
Hestia sighed a little. For Gregorio, by his nature her, ‘extravagance’ was more foolish than taking off her clothes her and rolling around in the snow.
Even her younger sister her Zinaida, who ruled freely enough to be called a tyrant, did not show ‘extravagance’. But when she looked at the corridors of the imperial palace, she couldn’t figure out what the hell they had done with the taxes they collected from Gregory, whom they had shed blood and sweat to protect.
‘I’m not here to talk about politics, but I feel bad…’
Hestia frowned and stopped. The stables in the imperial palace caught her eye her.
“The size…”
“There are many people visiting the imperial palace, so we can’t help it.”
Even after hearing Ceres’ explanation, Hestia felt strange. The stables had a really huge size. The number of nobles who could ‘directly’ visit the imperial palace was obviously small.
I wondered if such a huge stable was necessary. In addition, the appearance of numerous wagons in front of the stable was so extravagant that it made me feel like I was proud of my wealth.
‘The princess’s carriage was really frugal. It’s just that the size is ignorantly large and there are a lot of horses to pull…’
There were not one or two huge wagons that made you feel dizzy. Wouldn’t it take twenty horses to pull it? The wagons were so unrealistically huge that it made me think that way, and there were even wagons decorated in ‘golden colour’.
It was a carriage that seemed to be used by the emperor without asking Ceres.
The black wagon prepared in one corner was similar in size, and Hestia felt her head pounding a little.
“Miss Hestia.”
After standing by the window for quite some time, the distance between them suddenly widened, and Ceres came back talking.
“What’s the matter?”
“Ah… It’s nothing. It’s just… I thought the palace was this luxurious…”
“…That’s what a lot of people say.”
It was a complex and strangely emotional answer. Hestia wondered what it would be like to talk about this while holding Ceres, not someone else.
Ceres must have seen and knew a lot of things happening in the imperial palace, but he is a commoner. He’s a girl who can’t even get into the imperial council.
Hestia had no intention of ignoring her, but it was quite difficult for her to reflect her opinions as they were.
“By the way, the princess’s carriage… I can see it over there. You can see the coachman getting off.”
“Yes, when Hestia-nim came to the imperial palace, it seems that the princess also came.”
“Really? It’s a pretty good coincidence. Since she came from the princess doing ‘work’, it would be difficult for her to spend the night with me…”
Hestia, who openly appealed to her heart her, and Ceres, who let out her hum once, arrived at the entrance of her guest room.
“By the way, I didn’t know that the empress likes black roses.”
“…Yes?”
Ceres blinked her eyes and turned her head away. In that brief moment, Hestia realizes that she has been mistaken.
‘…Then who?’
She couldn’t help but be perplexed at the very obvious question.
Who on earth could have a huge chariot that could be compared to that of the Emperor of the Empire?
“Ah… By any chance, did you mean the black carriage over there?”
Ceres hit the carriage with Hestia questioning her at once.
“…A carriage like His Majesty would have-” Ceres! Ceres! Ceres!!”
The voice of the princess running from afar devoured Hestia’s words her.
After sending her Uriel to her prepared room and confirming that she was asleep, the princess quickly ran to find Ceres and her eyes her were shining.
“A carriage…! There’s a carriage outside! The carriage that I, the princess, have never seen since I was born!”
“Yes, Princess. It’s been great. Hestia-nim also asked about that carriage.”
Ceres smiled and took a step back to reveal Hestia.
“Oh, oh oh…! Hestia, it was a lot of trouble coming here late at night like this.”
The princess immediately embraced Hestia and patted her back with her hand. She was Hestia, treated like a child, but the fact that she had the face of Queen Gregorio and that she felt good as a woman didn’t change.
“Kuhmm.. Thank you. Princess… By the way, shouldn’t I know about the owner of the wagon that I’m curious about and the princess is also curious about?”
The princess changed the topic faster than anyone else.
The princess, who looked at her Ceres with eyes that twinkled like the stars in the night sky, had her eyes twinkling at the fact that she could finally find out the identity of the ‘fiance’ of her dreams.
“This is the wagon the princess’s fiancé rode in.”
“Yes! I know that much!!”
“Yes.”
“…Yes?”
When Ceres’ words ended here, the princess had no choice but to close her sparkling eyes her.
“What are you talking about? Ceres. Is there anything else you can tell me other than that you are my fiancée?”
“Yes, Princess. I have nothing to say.”
“Ke~re~sue!!! By any chance! Are you angry because I haven’t been having sex with you lately? Why are you hiding it? Have you heard a word from Mama or Mama?”
“Princess… Hestia-sama is coming.”
Ceres is taken aback by her talk of sex her. Of course, Hestia and Ceres both saw and showed each other’s holes that they couldn’t show, so they weren’t too embarrassed.
Still, Ceres is great! He cleared his throat and calmly held the princess’ shoulder on her.
“Princess, I, Ceres, have not hidden any stories.”
“But isn’t it strange. Knowing that my fiancé is here… But not telling me what she looks like…”
The princess’s voice was quite painful. It was equally difficult for Hestia to understand, so she put her fist on her waist her and raised her arm her as if to tell her to speak next to her princess.
“That’s… The princess. The fiancée ordered her attendants to disembark first after the black carpet was laid.”
“Yes, yes. It’s not that strange.”
“After that, he took out a huge black cloth and came into the imperial palace completely covered from head to toe. So no one, including me, and all the attendants in this palace could see what kind of body he had, let alone his face his.”
“Muh… What…”
The princess was dumbfounded, but Ceres was unlikely to lie.
“…Ah… Princess. Maybe it’s because of the story that if you meet the other person before you get engaged or before you get married, you’ll have bad luck?”
“Ah… Hmm… Isn’t that superstition?
The princess poured her red lips and kicked her tongue.
“Heh… I didn’t know you prepared a huge cloth to cover your body her. It would be rude to break into the room and see her face her right now, even though you’re doing your best. “
At the princess’s self-talk her, Ceres smiled at her and nodded her head.
Under the circumstances, Hestia could n’t possibly tell her to spend the night in her room her.
“Princess. It’s late at night, so why don’t you stop sleeping for tomorrow’s birthday party?”
Hestia behaved very adultly, and the princess nodded her head.
“Yeah, I did quite a bit of work today…”
At the words of the princess, Ceres smiled lightly and took a step back. Thanks to that, Hestia was able to approach her princess comfortably.
“Venus, have a nice dream. You should have a happy birthday.”
Hestia kissed her princess’ pale cheek her while making her side and side. The princess, who naturally felt better about her, kissed Hestia on the cheek as well.
Hestia turned to her room her with a satisfied smile at her skinship her, which was short but enough to make her feel her love her.
Even without Ceres’ explanation, attendants were waiting in the room.
“Then, Princess. Shall we go to the Empress’s room?”
“Okay, enough for today…?”
Ceres, who so naturally guides her to the empress’s room, turns her foot away without realizing it, but the princess is taken aback.
Seeing this, Ceres smiled.
“The empress… It’s not that the princess is getting married, but she seems to be very worried about getting engaged tomorrow.”
“Hmm… Did Mama say she wanted to see me?”
At the princess’ worried question, Ceres nodded her head.
“Yes, Princess. Arisa-sama is quietly waiting for you with the finished medicine.”
“Yeah… Yeah, you’re referring to the pill that says you can get pregnant if you take it, right?”
In response to the princess’s question her as she spoke with her awkward smile, Ceres nodded her head without her speaking.
“Oh… I guess I’ll have to shake my hips hard tonight too…”
