Chapter 475: The Emperor’s Daughter 475
“Ah, right! How co Sir Assisi looks the sa as when he was in princess’ childhood. We are all getting old here, right, Miss Serira?”
“I’m not saying that.”
“But even Your Majesty isn’t getting older! Rather, the more he seems to age, the more he takes over the ladies’ hearts in the capital! It is such a foul thing! Foul, I tell you!”
Elene’s nose flared.
I realized sothing and objected.
“But, why are we not taking Ferdel into consideration?”
Elene naturally replied as if nothing happened.
“Oh, he’s a married man. Besides, Mr. Ferdel is handso, but he isn’t the most handso man in the nation, right?”
“Ferdel will cry when he hears that.”
For sure. 100 percent. I could be sure of his reaction.
If he heard that, he would cry and whine! It was better not to let him know, or else he would start asking people who the handso one was.
Well, he should be glad he wasn’t being referred to as the handso middle-aged man of the century.
“But, how is our knight getting so cool when he grows older? Even when I was young, the maids used to say that he had a gloomy feel around him, but he looks more attractive now. What was it called, the love which heals the wounds? I want to pull him into my arms and tear down his walls.”
“That is a pretty dangerous statent.”
So Elene was such a woman. Gloomy... what? Takedown walls?
“Elene, didn’t you hate Assisi?”
“Hm... I didn’t like him. I felt uncomfortable when he was around. I was young back then. A man with a great life ahead of him but decided to onto his forged sword was scary.”
It was scary. I was never of such thought when around Assisi, probably because I had already seen dad. Well, I admit that dad was sterner than Assisi.
“Thanks to a certain lady, he’s more approachable now.”
Even if she didn’t emphasize it, I knew who she was.
Avoiding her gaze, I bit the candy, and it broke in my mouth. I heard soone approach the door. I asked for them to enter.
Who could it be at such a ti?
“Uh, Ferdel!”
“Are you feeling good, Princess?”
Shocking. It was Ferdel who had co to visit .
Once Elene saw Ferdel, she felt a bit bad.
Elene took a step back after seeing Ferdel’s hurt expression.
He heard it; he definitely heard it. I looked at Ferdel.
“You must have been very busy. Did you co to check on ?”
“Yes. I might not be the most handso man of the century, but I am still a handso one.”
“...”
Was he hurt?
Elene turned gloomy. I couldn’t help but smile.
Haha, what would happen to our country? The future looked so bleak.
“I might not be the most handso one of the century, but I am a kind, smart, competent, cool, genius, and handso man.”
“...”
“I might not be the most handso one of the century, but I am a perfect man with no missing screw in his head, with a family, academic background, appearance, and many more.”
“Stop.”
He had to stop! Enough!
I was wondering how long he would list his qualities. Elene was already looking crushed with cold sweat breaking out of her forehead! She could have just said that it was an accident, but Ferdel was a sore loser...
Serira took Elene out of the room.
Right, leaving was the best solution.
I would think of a way to help Elene in the future, and at that mont, Ferdel smiled. What? He couldn’t just tease people around like that!
“Ah, by the way, I have sothing to tell you.”
“Uh? Did Ferdel have to say it directly?”
“Yes, it’s important.”
What was it that he had to co to my room for?
A bad feeling began to creep into my heart.
Ferdel’s smile widened as he spoke.
What? Did sothing happen?
“Tomorrow, ssengers from Shertogenbosch will arrive.”
“... ssengers?”
“Yes, Ancief and Parten-Kiehern ssengers have already arrived and rested with quite a few ambassadors from the north other than Shertogenbosch.”
Why was he telling this?
I asked him to talk quicker by nodding. Ferdel understood it.
My uneasy feeling increased. I never felt like it in recent tis.
“I would like the princess to be in charge of the envoy from Shertogenbosch.”
“...”
“Huh?”
Hold on now. Did I hear sothing wrong?
“Wait, Ferdel?”
“Yes.”
He smiled.
‘Wow, way to use your smile.’
“You want to face their ssengers?”
‘Them?! Huh?!’
I didn’t want to divide the country, but Shertogenbosch was an empire with a massive influence on the north. That was an opponent I could never deal with.
Ah, look at this man’s guts. Was he entrusting them into soone as weak as ?!
I had to reject it!
Reject! I couldn’t do it!
Fardel sighed at my response then asked.
“Then, should I ask Your Majesty to do it?”
“... I’ll do it.”
If he puts it like that, I wouldn’t be able to refuse. Rotten!
Ugh, I gulp after seeing Ferdel smile.
‘Ah, that guy. Ferdel is no good to . I’m sure!’
“Then let’s move.”
“Why so quick?”
“We have so things to deal with.”
Fardel seed a little tired. It was my first ti seeing him display his exhaustion.
What? If he acted so weak, I wouldn’t be able to counter him at all! No way, so mid-life crisis? However, Fedel seed like he wasn’t going through anything. Man, he had my sympathy.
It was a sha.
“I heard that you couldn’t enter your ho for three weeks while working in the palace.”
At my words, Ferdel pondered for a mont.
“Has it been three weeks?”
“...”
What was with this man?
He didn’t even rember when he left his house?
I felt bad for Silvia, who would be waiting for Ferdel to co ho.
Poor Silvia, her man didn’t even care about returning to his ho, ugh. Just die. Bloody workaholic, ugh!
My poor, poor Silvia!
I was worried about Silvia when Ferdel spoke.
“There were too many things which had to be done...”
My thoughts halted.
A mont’s stillness.
However, sothing felt different about the air around us; in a mont, it felt like a massive gust of wind headed towards us.
This new wind seed stagnant.
Fardel seed different for so reason.
What was it?
I wondered for a mont, what was it? However, Ferdel didn’t say anything. He just soon smiled.
“Anyway, thank you. I believe that the princess will do well.”
“Don’t just believe it blindly!”
I yelled, but Ferdel smiled as he walked out of the door with relaxed shoulders.
Wow, I hated him!
