Chapter 980 – Afterword ─ the Emperor Couple Needs a Honeymoon ~ 3
“What? What did you just say? Did I hear correctly? Are you out of your mind?!”
As soon as Arisa heard about Hedone and Venus’ wonderful honeymoon plans, she started rubbing her face loudly with both hands and ended up screaming.
“It’s not a story that would make you that angry, is it?”
“That’s right. A honeymoon is something that all ordinary nobles in the empire do, right? It’s not like we’re going to enjoy any special luxury.”
Unlike Arisa, who was suffering, Hedone and Venus were confident.
In fact, it was not at all wrong to feel like I wanted to run away since I was suddenly given a huge task.
“Oh, no, I mean…”
Arisa rubbed her forehead vigorously with her right hand and then sighed.
“Well, that’s right. There is no law preventing the emperor from going on a honeymoon. I can assure you.”
“You’re pretty sure you’re angry, aren’t you?”
“Of course. Since Venus finished the coronation, the nobles have been sucking their fingers and waiting to see what mistakes our wonderful emperor will make.”
Arisa let out a sigh and crossed her legs while still wearing her pajamas.
“If you look at the fact that the candidate for His Majesty’s Big Mystake, which we noble nobles are expecting, is not going on a honeymoon… That is not a problem.”
“What on earth are you conspiring to do?”
“Didn’t you talk to the nobles at the imperial palace today? Those people are people who cry out that even though they have a luxurious land that three generations can live on and hundreds of serfs, it’s not enough.”
“Obviously… The wives are having an unbelievable war of nerves.”
Arisa chuckled and wiggled her finger to cast a spell on her hairbrush to comb her hair.
“Anyway… It’s almost like running away. Well, a honeymoon isn’t a bad choice. Venus worked hard for 100 days… Well, more than that.”
Hehe, can the nobles stop me? Unless there is a law prohibiting me from going on a honeymoon, no one can stop me.”
“Rather, you are not in a situation where something important is about to happen, and you have just had a coronation, so if you don’t go on a honeymoon now, you may never go on for the rest of your life.”
As she spoke with her eyes shining, Arisa sighed and burst into laughter.
“I guess being empress was harder than I thought, Hedone?”
“I wouldn’t say it was comfortable. What I learned from Empress Agrippa so far was just baby steps.”
“Well, he wouldn’t have taught me things that weren’t at all. Empress Agrippa is a good person.”
As soon as Arisa finished combing her hair, she started to adjust her pajamas.
“Anyway, where do you plan on going on your honeymoon? It would be better to decide carefully before going, right?”
“It doesn’t seem like a bad idea to go to Arisa’s territory.”
“What? Are you crazy? No, no, absolutely not! There are no tourist attractions in my territory that could be a honeymoon destination, right?”
“What about the Magicka Kingdom?”
“I recommend it if you want to spread the rumor throughout the empire that His Majesty Emperor Venus’s first political partner is Queen Zinaida.”
At Arisa’s words, Hedone and Venus looked at each other’s faces for a moment.
“Well, if Arisa can’t do it, we’ll somehow find a place to go on our honeymoon.”
“Okay, if possible, let’s go somewhere nice. It’s Venus’ monumental first honeymoon.”
The conversation with Arisa ended after we talked about miscellaneous things.
Venus and Hedone honestly thought that going on a ‘honeymoon’ wasn’t that difficult until then.
* * *
“Uhm, I’m sorry, junior Venus. I’d like to tell you to spend your honeymoon in peace in Galagon, but there’s really nothing to see here.”
“I wouldn’t be lying if I said that no nobles are coming to Galagon for their honeymoon. We at Galagon have many issues that we need to resolve right now.”
As soon as Hailey Galagon and Olga Alexeyevna Romanova heard Venus’ story, they responded with very apologetic expressions.
“I’d like to ask you to come visit us at Gregory. It’s too bad. Gregory currently has problems that need to be resolved for peace with other races. If your Majesty and the Empress come to visit, we can welcome you, but…”
In front of Hestia Gregory, who explained their situation in the best possible terms, Venus and Hedone could not bear to say that they were going on a honeymoon.
“You are welcome to come to our Magica Kingdom… But wouldn’t this be a bad choice for a honeymoon? I have no intention of gossiping about His Majesty, the former Emperor Jupiter, but most of the land in the Magica Kingdom is currently devastated…”〈 Br〉
Following Arisa’s advice, using the Magica Kingdom as a honeymoon destination was politically a bad choice and could not have been a travel destination in the first place.
“To Colonia? To be honest, I want to ask you to go out of your way to come, but it feels like you’re seducing Venus just to have fun. I honestly don’t think that’s the case for Colonia. If you come here, a lot of new nobles will come to see Venus. Don’t come, don’t come. .”
Diana Redblood was surprisingly opposed to Venus going on a honeymoon to Colonia. One day, she too would hold Venus’ hand and go on a honeymoon, so she did not try to enjoy her happiness in a situation where it was obvious that Venus would be in trouble.
“To the land of a different race? Honestly, I think there are many other good places. If you come here for your honeymoon, you’ll have to deal with horny females, right? I don’t recommend it.”
Uriel thought that an accident would definitely occur, so he sharply and sharply rejected Hedone’s cautious questions.
“Oh, are you thinking of coming to Pandemonium for your honeymoon? I’m sorry. Furthermore, I’ll try to oppose it. Just go to a better place for your honeymoon. Considering the current situation in Pandemonium, I don’t think you could attack VIP with malicious intent or cause harm. There are definitely some idiots who will attack Mr. Donne.”
Going down to the Demon World, which was the last resort, became impossible due to Eve Terra’s wise judgment.
After this, Hedone and Venus put their heads together and came up with various ideas, but they could not go on a honeymoon anywhere.
“What about Britannia?”
“I secretly asked Aunt Elaine… But she didn’t give me a recommendation.”
“Ugh, is it because you think that if I choose Britannia as my honeymoon destination, I will recognize Britannia, which was a duchy, as a kingdom? Even though that is not the reason I am going?”
“Because you know why, I think you want to prevent your happy honeymoon from turning into a noisy political fight.”
Venus rubbed his face vigorously with his palm.
“I was planning on going on a honeymoon somehow…”
Venus, who was suffering, couldn’t even think of the right place anymore.
“Is there something you’re worried about?”
Hedone and Venus were startled because it was the voice of Ceres that appeared through the shadows without the sound of the door opening.
Like children playing a bad prank, the two hurriedly covered the maps and books they had placed on the desk with their hands.
“Ke, Ceres?!”
“Your Majesty?”
Haha… This is a horse.”
Venus urgently covered the hologram of the map of the empire on which the sun never sets with her hand.
“I already know that His Majesty Venus and the Empress are making plans to go on a honeymoon.”
“Um… We didn’t tell you anything?”
“After dinner time, you two contacted everyone you could call ‘acquaintances.’ How could I not know that?”
Ceres bowed his back and spoke.
“Ha… Haha… I was planning to get permission from Ceres after at least deciding on a proper travel destination.”
“If you are choosing a travel destination, aren’t you aiming for a situation where I can’t object?”
Hedone and Venus looked at each other’s faces, laughing awkwardly.
“Oh, Mr. Ceres! It was because your Majesty and I were having a hard time.”
“Hedone and I are a proper couple, so shouldn’t we at least go on a honeymoon?”
The two spoke as they urgently grabbed both of Ceres’ arms.
In fact, Venus could have ignored Ceres’ advice and just gone on her honeymoon.
However, Venus was not that kind of person. He did not have the character to ignore the advice of a woman who would give up her heart for him.
“I can be of greater help if you tell me about these plans in advance. Anyway, I have no intention of interfering with your honeymoon.”
Ceres did not get angry and answered with a small smile.
Even if she thought about it, the task suddenly given to Venus and Hedone seemed a bit burdensome. It was very foolish to keep forcing things on two people who couldn’t handle things properly.
“Thank you for your understanding, Ceres.”
Venus felt at ease, smiled, and smoothed his chin with his hand.
“As expected… How about asking Mom and Mom?”
“Ah! I see. I’m sure your mother knows a great honeymoon destination. Furthermore, I think it would be good to get some advice.”
Hedone and Venus had their eyes shining, but Ceres, on the other hand, shook her head from side to side.
“I do not recommend it.”
“Where on earth did you go on your honeymoon to make you say that?”
“Empress Agrippa has never gone on a honeymoon.”
“… Yes?”
When Hedone was startled, Ceres cleared his throat.
“His Majesty, the former Emperor Jupiter, began to work as soon as he ascended the throne. Therefore, even if she asked Empress Agrippa for her wisdom, she would not be able to hear good things about her.”
“Uh… Should I say it’s like Momma and Abama…”
Venus was finally able to vaguely understand why things came rushing in like waves as soon as the coronation was over.
“Instead, I will recommend a good place.”
Venus and Hedone, who heard the location that Ceres told them about with a smile, applauded softly without even realizing it.
“It seems like a perfect place for a honeymoon…!”
