The Abandoned Empress Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Chapter 141

When I looked at him blankly because of his unexpected statent, he smiled intriguely.

He said with a softer voice, “No, let correct it. The crown prince is very unfortunate. Even though he has such a beautiful fiancee like you, he can’t touch your body as you are too young.”

“Your Eminence!”

“Your hair that bears the cold moonlight is sacred, and your golden eyes that look like the sun are shining so brightly. I’m sorry to ntion blasphemously about your body given by Vita, but I feel like I’ll lose my eyesight if I continue to look at you.”

“… ”

I couldn’t think of how to respond, so I was just listening. After staring at , he smiled, raising his eyes, “Oh, I guess you are immature in other aspects. Hmm. Then, that ‘s it for today. Praise the beauty given by the Father of Life. I would like to convey Vita’s blessings to you.”

A white light shone around his hands. Everywhere was full of flower scent, and pink petals began to fall around .

‘What the heck is he doing now?’

I was embarrassed. Although I was very skeptical about God’s will these days, I felt God gave him the divine power to use it for this kind of occasion.

As I was so dumbfounded that I was going to retort, I felt refreshed now , even though I was very tired a mont ago.

‘Is this what he ans by blessing ?’

Although I felt sowhat uncomfortable, I slightly bowed to him.

“Thank you, Your Eminence.”

“You’re welco.”

“By the way, why did you ask to see you?”

“Oh, well, I just wanted to see the child of God’s prophecy up close, but considering what happened today, I think Vita led to see you. ”

‘Hummm…you wanted to see only for that reason?’

When I looked at him with a suspicious expression, he said feebly, “Well, I’m done talking to you. Shall we go out? I’d like to escort you to your house, but in that case, I’m afraid I have to pay the price for that. I’m sorry, but let escort you to the front door. ”

“Thank you for your consideration, Your Eminence.”

“You’re welco. It was my honor to have a beautiful lady here. ”

Then he stood up and went out first. I stared at the young man walking with long hair rustling over the floor.

Why the heck did he bring over here? Why did he keep calling the child of God’s prophecy when he already heard God’s prophecy about Jiun? Why did he disclose that I heard God’s prophecy?

“If you stare at so intensely, I’ll get embarrassed.”

“… ”

The High Priest, who was walking ahead of , smiled faintly, looking back at .

Sighing at his smile, I walked after him to the outside of the sanctuary.

“Oh, welco back, Lady Monique. I’m glad you have co back safely. ”

“It’s been a long ti. How are you all? ”

“Yes, nothing particular happened. Did you keep well, too? ”

“Yes. How about my father?”

“Well, he sent a ssage that he will not return ho today because sothing urgent happened.”

“… Really?”

Maybe it’s because of God’s prophecy.

He was supposed to notify the imperial palace, so by now the emperor was briefed about what happened.

The na ‘Graspe’ sent by God with the modifier, ‘a woman sent by God.’

I let out a deep sigh unconsciously.

Her middle na. It ant that Jiun also had the right to succeed the empress. Judging from what the emperor said to a few years ago, it was evident that the emperor would never let her go, as long as she also had the right to succeed the empress. From now on she had no choice but to get entangled with the crown prince in every way other than death.

‘Graspe, the one who seizes fate.’

Does God’s decision to give Jiun such a na an that He wants to give her a chance to seize her fate as the empress again? Or does He have so other intention?

I carefully reflected on my dialogue with the high priest, but couldn’t find a proper answer to my question. I felt tired again, although I felt refreshed from fatigueness thanks to the high priest’s blessings.

‘I don’t know. Let think about other things tomorrow. ‘

I changed my dress with Lina’s help and threw myself onto the bed.

As soon as I opened my eyes the next morning, I received sothing like a letter.

It was a summons to attend the political eting in the afternoon.

‘Is this the beginning?’ With a sigh, I folded the summons. When I was thinking of practicing fencing before I went to the eting, Lina ca in and gave a small note.

While feeling a bit strange, I read the postscript again.

‘My father gave a gift?’

At first glance, it seed like he asked to bring sothing he had forgotten, but I couldn’t really understand what he ant. When he ntioned ‘the other day,’ he probably referred to the outing with before he went down to the sumr palace.

‘Is he talking about the formal dress he gave as a gift at that ti?’

There was no chance that he wanted to bring the formal dress as a spare.

Then, does he want to wear it when I attend the political eting?

“Ah!” I suddenly found out what he wanted.

He wanted to wear the formal dress, not my usual knight uniform, to the political eting this afternoon.

‘Oh, I see. That’s what he wants.’

I knew how political affair etings usually took place. I also knew what I was supposed to do at the eting. As requested, I changed into a formal dress and headed for the Imperial Palace in ti.

Given the importance of the agenda, it looked like they convened a big conference, which was held only twice a year. Even though the eting started, I had to stand by in the waiting room for so ti before entering. The conference room was really spacious.

I slowly stepped inside, looking around the conference room. Nurous nobles sat in front of several rows of tables on both sides of the platform where the emperor and the crown prince were seated.

I see. That’s why my father sent such a ssage.

“Sir Monique, please take a seat here.”

The seat I was shown to by an attendant was facing the platform. It was also the seat reserved for the defendant when a trial was held at this place, which was sotis used as a courtroom.

‘You guys want to treat like this from the beginning?’

I walked up to the seat by clicking my heels on purpose. Then, instead of sitting on the chair, I looked up at the emperor at the platform. I saw him smiling at my dress slyly.

Just as I suspected, my father seed to have sent the ssage with the emperor’s tacit approval. My father didn’t give the noble any excuse to find fault with , so he just used a figurative expression in the ssage.

‘Anyway, as the emperor tacitly approved my formal dress, let see what happens.’

“I, Aristia la Monique, am honored to greet you, the Sun of the empire, and the Little Sun of the empire.”

With one hand on my chest and the other hand holding the hem of my dress slightly, I leaned forward to show due manners to them. I noticed Jiun, who was looking at in front of the platform facing .

However, I opened my mouth, totally ignoring the black-haired girl that I saw again after in five years. I couldn’t afford to look at her or spare a thought for her because not only the pride of my family and the pro-emperor faction but also mine was at stake in this place.

“Your Majesty, can I ask you one thing before I take a seat?”

“Sure, go ahead.”

“Am I sitting here as a criminal defendant today?”

“No. What are you talking about, Monique?” said the emperor.

“I see. Then, I, Aristia la Monique, would like to use the legitimate right to formally raise an objection to my seating here. “
