"What••••••?"
"Of course, it's my story to work hard. I'm not going to make Michael do
the hard work. As I said before, Michael is enough to fill my position as a
direct knight."
"No, wait a minute. It's too much to tell such a great story at once. Give me
some time to organize my thoughts. I can't keep up with your pace."
Michael seemed to be losing his mind. He held onto his overloaded head
and let out a series of sighs.
In fact, Michael's sudden being dragged into the world was complicated and
unadjustable, but since he heard a huge story here, it was hard to use the
accident circuit not to be paralyzed.
Usually, they prepare their minds and reveal their aspirations, but the
empress in front of them had no such mercy.
No matter how much he said he would tell me the secret after the imprint
ceremony, and Michael asked me to tell him first, but I couldn't help but
feel that it was a little too much.I wonder what you didn't say in prison.’
It was natural to avoid unfamiliar places because it was a declaration of
participation that would require extreme caution against those who
overheard and peeked.
And even considering Michael's personality, this was a good choice.
To be honest, I'm still half-confident with Eve's words, but Michael would
never have believed it if he had revealed his enormous aspirations in the
first place.
Rather, she would have used her aspirations as a basis for misunderstanding
that she was an authoritative and obstinate imperial family ahead of words,
and that the liberation of Homunclus would have served as an excuse to
despise the pretentious blandishments to coax slaves.
At that time, a man who had forgotten so far showed his presence.
"Hey, hey, hey...…
Cedela, who was arranging flowers from a vase in the corner during tea
time, was looking at Eve with a shocked face.
Sedella wanted to pretend to be a professional maid without eyes and ears,
but she just couldn't do it now.
"I, Your Highness Ivien Rose...…
"Yes, Sedella."
"Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt, are you sure?"
"Yes, indeed."
"Oh, my God...
Sedella covered her mouth with her hands.For Eve, Sedella's reaction was also important, so she watched her swollen
light green eyes with a slight tremor.
Soon Sedella clenched her fists and shouted.
"Well, well, I'll work hard to protect you! It's not enough, but I'll do my
best!"
"There's nothing Sedella lacks. It's like a maid's toy.”
Cedella was also the best solo maid for Eve.
I thought I should buy not only a town house but also an island with a top-
class villa.
Michael, who regained some composure, opened his mouth while Eve and
Sedella showed faith in each other.
"I understand that you suddenly broke the creed and decided to have a
direct article. To get into society and establish herself as an empress?"
"That's right."
"But isn't that enough for another homunculus? Why is it me?"
Michael did not overlook an important point.
Yves chose to explain because he could not divulge the heavens and spirits.
Fortunately, there was a reasonable word.
"I've imprinted on you, who also bounced off your father's dominance. This
proves that my power is enough to be mentioned as a candidate for the
throne."
"Ah, imprinting me was entirely political, is that it? Come to think of it, it's
pathetic that you didn't notice it beforehand.”"No, you're saying that the empress who's been treated like a scoundrel is
suddenly going to be the crown daugly. There are a lot of people who can't
believe it even if you don't tell them.”
Eve grinned and gulped down the tea water.
'I'm glad Michael's reaction wasn't negative. This is enough for today.’
In Eve's view, Michael was a prudent man.
Sincerity was often proven over a long time rather than immediately on the
spot.
Yet Michael will not fully trust Eve's words, so he will need time to doubt
her, guard her, and judge himself.
Eve decided not to rush.
I was going to do my best and slowly win Michael's heart.
Eve became a solemn empress and asked Michael and Cedela.
"You know, it's top secret. Watch your language from the moment you both
leave this room. Even if everyone in the palace can guess, what I or my
people directly admit is completely different."
"Remember, Your Grace."
"Okay."
The answer was credible. Eve smiled and filled the empty glass.
"Well, let's talk about the future schedule.”
Enough has been said about aspirations. It was time to discuss the specific
future.
"I'll just say what's important, except for the little things. Tomorrow,
Michael will be accompanied by me by an audience of his father and aceremony of oath of allegiance."
"I hope the Emperor succeeds this time. You don't want to go to jail again.”
"There's nothing to worry about. Michael's immune system must be under
pressure now because I succeeded in imprinting. Michael only focuses on
showing his father a polite side. You should never act like you're in front of
me."
"I'll take your orders.
Michael, who answered back, seemed lost in thought for a moment. Soon
he said he didn't want to.
"Loyalty to the Emperor and his people...…. So I'm going to be a dog that
obeys not you but other royal families from tomorrow."
The oath of allegiance was also a ritual that took away the will of the
homunculus, so it was natural to be unpleasant.
Although loyalty oaths are not as thoroughly binding as imprints, they
cannot exercise their will to reject or rebel against those who bleed from the
Hadellamid.
It must obey unreasonable and humiliating orders, and even fail to respond
to life-threatening violence against the imperial family.
The only thing that can prevent this is the rejection of the imprint who has
greater control than the general imperial family. In other words, Eve's role
was crucial.
"As an empress, I will do my best to protect you."
"Trustworthy, Your Highness."
For a moment, Michael's mouth drew a soft curve.
It was a truly thrilling smile."Back to business, this week we just have to hand over the pledge of
allegiance, and the next big schedule is next week.”
"The sixteenth birthday of the Eighth Empress?"
"Yes, Rosie's birthday banquet.
It will be my first official event with Michael. I think you might have
learned how to practice at the training center, but let's check it out.
Sedella will help you."
"Okay, apparently it's your big day of social re-entry."
"That's right."
"I'll do my best as a direct engineer.
All."
"What do you mean. You just have to do as much as others do.”
Michael did not respond to Eve's laugh-mixed comments. He didn't seem to
have the slightest intention of doing it roughly.
"Is there no more schedule? Then I'd like to hear about your personal life."
"You'll need to work as a direct engineer. Sedella, can you write down my
schedule on paper?"
"Yes, Your Grace."
Eve just happened to be in the nick of course.
He returned to eight years ago, so he couldn't remember what he had done
during this time.
It was a good opportunity to recognize life patterns."Write it down in as much detail as you can. When and with whom you take
classes, what lessons you take, when and with whom you usually have tea
time, regular or semi-regular activities, and where you go with people, etc.
And show me first. We have to go over it."
I was going to memorize it by heart.
"All done, Your Grace."
"Let's see……Huh? Not much? It's almost like a class schedule.
It was almost overshadowed that I was secretly preparing for memorization
magic. It was enough to memorize with the brain.
Eve was a little embarrassed and asked Sedella.
"Did I live indoors without meeting people like this? I think I've been pretty
busy."
"It's true you're busy. When you don't have classes or lessons, you focus on
alchemy research."
"But basically, the imperial palace was busy with the great and the great
events of the imperial family.
"Gu."
"Feelcham, or he didn't go."
As the conversation grew longer, only his lack of sociality became clearer.
"I've really turned around in the palace.
Eve just decided to turn the subject around here. She handed over the paper
Sedella had written to Michael and said.
"Michael, please let me know if there's anything I need to know or a fixed
schedule."Michael lifted his right hand to the height of his gaze.
His eyes were on his wrist, which was also handcuffed and wearing a mana
circuit restraint.
"I think we should focus on magic and sword training for the time being.
He always wears mana circuit restraints when he is in a training camp, so he
is trained only in theory to deal with mana. We need hands-on training to
check the open mana circuit and stabilize the mana core."
