Chapter 294 – Marriage
#294.
“Long time no see. How long has it been since we met face to face?”
“… I’m not sure, but it seems like it’s been over a year. We still haven’t been in touch often.”
“Is that like meeting in person? Anyway, nice to meet you. Thanks to you, I won’t have to worry about an escort.”
After saying that, the 2nd prince turned her head and looked around at the envoys who were preparing for her.
As with Princess Himiris’ last visit, she chose to move at once using the teleport gate, so she wouldn’t have to think about the difficult move, but as the purpose of the visit was for the purpose of the visit, there were quite a lot of presents to give to the Dracania emperor, so preparations were slow.
It is a place where you meet your father-in-law for the first time, but you can’t neglect it.
The second prince was quite nervous.
“Anyway, I never thought you would marry Princess Himiris. Although she thought at the time that she was in a bad mood.”
“Is it? I didn’t even know it was like this. But when we talked to each other, we got along well. To be honest, I benefited a little from you.”
“Is it because of me?”
Gaon tilted his head.
In the first place, it had been a year since they had met now, let alone Princess Himiris, and he hadn’t seen them since the delegation’s celebration party.
The second prince laughed.
“Okay. Your bad relationship with Prince Drakanis has helped us to have a more enjoyable conversation. Listening to Princess Himiris’ story, it seems that the Grand Duke is holding on tight, but you’ll have to be careful.”
“That was it. I also wanted to meet you this time. I have a promise.”
“Ohh? Is it? You are full of confidence. I’ll look forward to it.”
The second prince was one of the few people who knew Gaon’s abilities, so she seemed to be looking forward to the events that would happen when she met Rivera this time.
Unfortunately, however, Gaon had no intention of fighting her in front of outsiders.
He didn’t want to expose his Uinoegi to the outside world, and above all, it was better to block the variable as much as possible in order to obtain his Shingi.
Singularity, an heirloom of the Grand Duchess of Dracanis, has a symbolism in itself. He wouldn’t stand by as the imperial family passed it on to someone from another country.
Therefore, he must get his hands on the divine weapon as quickly as possible and leave the Drakania Empire.
As Gaon remembered and checked the plan to steal the Shinki, the 2nd Prince tapped him on the shoulder.
“Egg plant. It looks like everything is ready.”
When I woke up and looked around, the wedding delegation members who had completed all the procedures were waiting in their respective seats waiting to depart.
Gaon roughly checked his clothes and followed the second prince to the gate.
‘Long time no see. Something like this.’
This time the lovers didn’t catch up.
There was no need to do that, and I had to remain in the capital in case of an emergency.
It would be a big deal if a rift was opened in the capital after taking him there. It was a natural choice since Ghana alone could not affect the win or loss in the match against Ghana Rivera.
Gaon felt his vision turn white as the magic activated.
And after a while, the senses of his body that had disappeared came back and the moment the light in his vision went out, he was moving to the Dracania Empire.
As soon as Gaon saw the powerful Yongin tribe sitting in the front seat, he immediately knelt down.
At the same time, the entire delegation bowed their heads, and the second prince took the example of the imperial family.
“Adelio Pentra, the second prince of the Pentra Empire, is meeting His Majesty the Emperor of Haderos Dracania.”
“… Well come Thank you for accepting the invitation. To raise your head.”
“Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty.”
With the emperor’s permission, the 2nd prince then took a little more comfortable posture, but she was still not allowed to even lower her waist to those under her.
Gaon looked down at the thought that he was wasting his time on things that had nothing to do with him, but managed his expression so as not to show it.
The emperor and the second prince dragged the time with each other’s meaningless words for a while, and finally got to the point.
2 After accepting the letter the prince took out of her, the emperor read the contents carefully, then handed it to the attendant waiting next to her and opened his mouth.
“Tell me that you received the letter well. Okay. Are you going to promote marriage with the 3rd Princess Hirimis?”
“Yes. Since the last meeting with the 3rd princess, Ha Hao, we have been exchanging good feelings with each other. Therefore, in order to further strengthen the relationship between the two empires, I would like to go through the marriage process.”
“Hmm… What do you think?”
The emperor’s head turned to the side.
Until now, his presence was so strong that he had not noticed, but the figures of the Dracania family had settled down around him.
Himiris, who was sitting in the middle, cautiously stood up and said,
“I think it’s a good suggestion. The current Union is peaceful enough, but I’m not sure if that will be the case in the future. So, I think it would be prudent to use this opportunity to further strengthen our alliance.”
“If both are the same, there would be no reason to refuse. Do not allow marriage I’ll go into the details later, and I’ll end it here for today. Let the chancellor guide them.”
In fact, it has been a long time since the conversation about marriage ended through communication channels between the emperors.
However, it was an event between countries that had to pay attention to each and every one of these cumbersome procedures. As she is the second prince who might become the next emperor, her importance was bound to be high.
Now that the marriage has been officially permitted, all you have to do is complete the preparations through proper coordination.
Of course, it had nothing to do with Gaon’s plan, so he just passed it over and was conscious of staring at him from one side.
‘There will be a hole in my face.’
In addition to the imperial family, several other major families attended the event. Among them, of course, the Grand Duchess of Dracanis also existed, and of course, Rivera was their representative.
From the moment he first appeared, I have been glaring at him without taking my eyes off him for a moment.
‘Anyway, the escort has changed.’
It would have been natural if it was natural, but it seems that Yong-in, who was shattered by him while running amok at the delegation’s welcome party, was dismissed from the post of escort officer.
Seeing how hard he studied martial arts, he seems to have admired Rivera a lot, but it was regrettable.
Of course, even if it was only a fleeting feeling, he would have made the same choice even if he went back to that time.
Gaon left the stinging gaze behind him and followed the second prince out of the audience room.
The unfortunate side is bound to come anyway.
It’s not a situation where even he can afford it, but Rivera doesn’t know that. She’s going to try to get her into a confrontation with him now.
Gaon decided to wait patiently.
***
The next morning, after her meal, Gaon shut herself up in her assigned room.
Because he doesn’t really need anything.
In the first place, it was not a real delegation, but it was just followed for a separate purpose, but it is better to do this than to create problems by interfering.
For reference, yesterday, as expected from the Pentra Empire, there was a welcome party for the delegation, but he deliberately did not participate.
It was obvious that Bonama or Rivera was up to something.
Even if you get hit once, if you get hit twice, that’s an idiot. Gaon has no intention of becoming an asshole.
‘It’s time to come soon.’
He’s probably warmed up by now, so he’ll send someone to contact him somehow.
He only wants to avoid the eyes of the imperial family, but concluding a confrontation is what he wants, so he wants to find it as soon as possible.
Even he couldn’t pinpoint exactly when the rift would open in the capital, so the sooner he returned, the better.
As if to live up to his expectations, he felt a man approaching him.
He stood at the door and knocked cautiously.
Smart.
-Excuse me. Are you there?
“Who are you?”
-I am Krasion, the escort of Grand Duke Rivera Dracanis. The Archduke is requesting a meeting.
Rivera’s choice was more moderate than I thought.
I was very angry at him for not participating in the party, and I even thought about coming to him, but it seems that I realized something through the previous incident.
“Did you say anything other than that?”
-… If you avoid it this time, you said you won’t be there then. I’ll just kill the oath of mana or whatever, and I’ll die too…
Of course, that was Gaon’s misunderstanding.
‘Crazy bitch.’
It seems that patience has increased a little, but instead, it seems that the intensity of the explosion has also increased.
While imagining what Gaon was going to do, he concluded that nothing good would ever happen, and opened the door.
“… Let’s go right now.”
“Thank you. Well thought out. Please follow me.”
Unlike his superior, the escort this time seems to have the common sense to care about human casualties.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s good.
‘Don’t look at me like that.’
It was natural for an escort knight, but he was looking at him with a pitiful gaze, as if he was sure that Rivera would win the match.
He really didn’t like him, but he didn’t even bother talking about it, so he just ignored it.
After a while, the escort driver who was guiding him stopped in front of an ornate gate and stepped aside.
“This is it. The Grand Duke is waiting inside.”
“… Yes. Thank you.”
Gaon, who briefly expressed his gratitude, opened the door without hesitation and went inside. Anyway, from the moment he set foot in this annex, Rivera would have noticed his presence.
If he had taken an action to run away on the way, he would have rushed like a shotgun and blocked it.
Finally he came face to face with Rivera.
“… Long time no see.”
“Okay. You didn’t come to the party, so I thought you’d somehow avoid it, but you came unexpectedly, didn’t you?”
“Because I came to keep my promise in the first place. The party is because I don’t want to get caught up in useless tricks.”
The structure and interior of her room had an oriental look.
She wears the horns and tail of a dragon, and the appearance of a typical Westerner, sitting down wearing a traditional Korean robe, is truly alien.
But perhaps because she is, she has a unique charm that is not easily forgotten.
‘As expected, she’s on the same level as her mother-in-law.’
Even though there was no exposure, Gaon took a glance at the huge breasts that his gaze was directed to, and commented on it.
The problem is that Rivera sensitively caught her gaze. She looked down at her own chest and grinned.
“I see. Did you come because you coveted my heart?”
“… I beg your pardon?”
Gaon asked in bewilderment.
She was caught through her own fault, but she didn’t expect this misunderstanding. She was a little bit offended that in one moment she became a madman in her heart.
“I never thought I would come to lay down her life because I was possessed by such a lump of fat. Wasn’t it surprisingly useful?”
“Isn’t it? Who would risk their lives for breasts!”
Gaon hurriedly protested, but Rivera pretended not to hear her.
She swayed up and down her, deliberately emphasizing, with her arms folded in such a way that her own breasts were propped up from beneath her.
“Are you okay. Because I know how men look at my breasts. So what do you do? Shall we fight right now?”
Gaon looked down in anger at the ridiculous misunderstanding and bit her mouth shut.
She is an illusion that will be resolved after winning anyway. In order to spend energy on a place like this, it is important to make a decision as soon as possible and obtain the right to wish.
“… Fight right now Instead, the imperial family should not know. Is there such a place?”
“Hmm… ? The imperial family shouldn’t know?”
“Yes. If it is impossible, the fight will be postponed.”
Rivera frowned.
She is finally able to fight a fight she has endured for over two years, because she seems to be hindered by the imperial family.
She pondered.
“Then we should go to the Dracanis family’s estate.”
“Is it okay there?”
“… At least the eyes and ears of the imperial family can be blocked. His name is Grand Duke. He is no different from a king within the territory.”
“All right. Let’s go.”
“… Follow me.”
Neither has anything to do with anything related to marriage. So it doesn’t matter if you leave for a while.
Gaon and Rivera left the imperial palace and went through the gate to the Drakanis estate.
In the process, several rumors were spread by the court ladies who saw the two of them, but it was unknown at this time.
