It certainly crossed the line.
The faces of the ladies-in-waiting beside imdiately stiffened. Finally, Mastas couldn’t take it anymore, but when she was about to say sothing, a voice mixed with laughter was heard.
“You say that like an experienced person?”
It was my brother.
Even before she turned around, Rashta flinched as she recognized his voice.
However, she was quick to look at my brother with an innocent expression.
“What do you an?”
Fortunately, I was in front of Rashta, so I could see the change in her expression.
More importantly... will my brother be alright? Will he lose his patience here?
I was a little worried, but fortunately, my brother answered Rashta with a smile.
“It doesn’t an much. I only ask because Your Majesty of the Eastern Empire speaks as if you’ve already had a baby.”
“I don’t understand your aning.”
“It has no deeper aning.”
My brother, who ntioned it again, added in a joking tone.
“I am not trying to imply that Your Majesty the Empress of the Eastern Empire has a hidden child.”
Although he said it jokingly, it was true.
Probably because of this Rashta’s face beca noticeably rigid.
Rashta moved her lips as if she wanted to ask if it was a threat.
But she couldn’t simply ask, ‘Are you blackmailing ?’
In that case, she would be acknowledging it as a weakness.
In the end, Rashta was finally forced to smile and say in the sa playful manner.
“You’re a little bit rude.”
“?”
“Your words have thorns in them.”
“My words. So what’s in the words of a person who thoughtlessly calls soone else’s sister infertile? Knives? Daggers?”
“!”
“Oh, co to think of it, I left that there.”
“Neither knives or daggers.... Besides, Rashta doesn’t know what you an.”
This was the way Rashta originally spoke... Although on the surface she was smiling, in reality she was very nervous. Fortunately for Rashta no one seed to notice that detail.
“No, it’s not sothing Your Majesty knew about. I had it in my possession.”
“Huh?”
“An important docunt with the Empress’s na on it.”
I don’t think he’s suddenly talking about a docunt with my na. The docunt my brother is talking about must have Rashta’s na on it.
What kind of docunt did my brother lose?
Also puzzled, Rashta asked,
“A docunt?”
“I accidentally left it at the palace. Ah, of course, at the Palace of the Eastern Empire. I rembered it now that I saw Your Majesty the Empress.”
Rashta didn’t seem to understand yet. Although she seed reluctant, she couldn’t answer imdiately.
“You should look for it carefully. It seed like an important docunt.”
My brother smiled and looked at , but went elsewhere.
Ah!
The docunt my brother was talking about now, could it be Rashta’s slave trade certificate?

anwhile, Heinley walked alongside Grand Duke Kapn.
The atmosphere between the two was strange.
Heinley was annoyed and uncomfortable, while Kapn had mixed feelings, thinking about what he would do.
‘Should I really go this far? She’ll be sad if I do, did I still have to move on?’
With every step he took, Kapn’s mind flipped back and forth like a coin.
[What did he call for? It’s a nuisance. I need to hurry back to be next to My Queen].
However, he beca even more determined as he heard Heinley’s thoughts.
The next thing that ca to Heinley’s mind were the mories of the wedding night, which ended up completely overwhelming his reason.
Kapn’s eyes were completely red once he stopped.
“What do you want to talk about?”
When Heinley saw Kapn stop, he asked with a smile.
He still considered this a nuisance, but he had no intention of being like Sovieshu, who got carried away by his emotions and threw out Grand Duke Kapn.
“I know you were busy, I apologize for calling you out to speak alone.”
Kapn spoke calmly, concealing his true intentions, then raised two of the champagne glasses that a servant had on a tray.
After the servant nodded and left, Kapn extended one of the glasses to Heinley.
“That’s all right. I was just a little busy.”
Heinley accepted the glass Kapn offered him.
“More importantly, what can I do for you?”
“Ah, I’d like to talk about the trade.”
“About the trade?”
Heinley nodded, raising the champagne glass to his lips.
“That’s right. Once the wedding celebrations are over, Her Majesty Empress Navier will begin to fulfill her role as Empress. I hope that trade with Rwibt will be a priority.”
Kapn unconsciously stared at him. His blatant stare shook Heinley’s senses.
‘Why is he staring at like that?’ Feeling uncomfortable, Heinley lowered the champagne glass again.
I looked at him very intently.
Kapn belatedly realized his mistake and smiled, pretending to be unconcerned, but Heinley cleverly extended his champagne glass to Kapn and said,
“How about exchanging drinks?”
Kapn smiled as if puzzled.
“You have strange tastes.”
“We’ll be intertwined in many ways in the future.”
Despite his remark, Heinley continued to offer him his champagne glass.
Kapn exchanged his glass with Heinley without much trouble. He then drank the champagne imdiately.
Seeing this, Heinley smiled awkwardly and wondered, ‘Am I overreacting?’
Hearing Heinley’s thoughts, Kapn looked down and smiled internally.
He had poured the potion into both glasses just in case. So the result would be the sa even if the glasses were exchanged.
Unknowingly, Heinley drank the champagne relieved. At that mont, Kapn hurried off sowhere else, keeping his gaze downward.
“Kapn? Grand Duke?”
Heinley called Grand Duke Kapn in confusion, but he didn’t stop.
‘What a strange man.’ Heinley clicked his tongue as he shook his head.
“Um... Your Majesty?”
Christa then approached cautiously, calling Heinley.
“Sister-in-law?”
‘Why did Christa co here all of a sudden?’
Heinley looked at Christa in surprise, and his heart pounded as soon as their eyes t.
Heinley swallowed hard.
He was suddenly drawn to Christa, as if he couldn’t get her out of his mind.
Heinley couldn’t help but place his hand on his chest.
‘What on earth is going on?’
Christa also swallowed dryly at seeing him like this.
Before, when she drank coffee with Grand Duke Kapn, he said sothing very strange to her.
He told her that if she loved and wanted to get close to Heinley, go when and where he directed her. It was at this ti, in this place.
Of course, she did not believe his words. However, it was extrely close to the banquet hall, so she ca all this way just out of curiosity.
But Heinley was looking at her... with a shocked expression.
Also, as if he wanted to deny sothing, he shook his head and bit his lips.
“Your Majesty? Are you alright? Your face is red.”
Christa reached out her hand carefully, watching his expression.
Heinley took a step back, but his face was still red.
“Your Majesty?”
Christa called out to Heinley in a voice half-expectant and half-worried.
Heinley pressed his flushed face with his palms and gritted his teeth.
‘It was Grand Duke Kapn. He gave sothing strange!’
He was acting weird and his heart pounded uncontrollably.
Heinley managed to open his mouth, he intended to tell her she’d better leave.
“Sister-in-law.”
But the voice that ca out was sweet, too.
Heinley felt desperate as he noticed that his own voice was out of his control. anwhile, Christa was thrilled to hear that voice.
Also, those eyes. Those moist eyes longing for affection.
She had dread of this mont for over a decade. Now she would take proper care of him.
When Christa noticed the cold sweat on Heinley’s forehead, she pulled a handkerchief from her pocket.
She knew Grand Duke Kapn had done sothing. But whatever it was, none of that mattered to her now.
This mont was like a dream to her.
“Your Majesty. You’re sweating.”
Christa raised her trembling hand and placed the handkerchief on Heinley’s forehead.
“I’ll wipe your sweat.”
Heinley couldn’t move, feeling as if he was in a state of sleep paralysis.
His body was out of his control.
And this scene was seen by the ladies of the Western Empire, who ca out of the banquet hall to get so fresh air.
The ladies looked at each other, and quickly left the area.
