Veirya placed her cup down on the table. Sisi softly laughed from her padded chair, relishing the awkward situation between Veirya and nervous lissa. Although it was a fact that lissa tried to seduce Lin Dongqing, eting his wife, not to ntion in the imperial palace, almost crushed her under the pressure.
What does she plan on doing? D-did Queen Sisi want her to et ? lissa wondered, brain stuttering.
Whatever the chase, a cape isnt an ordinary item to a woman, is it? Having the right to drape on a cape for her lover and do it up is a blissful experience. She has brought your husbands cape back, so I think she should do so explaining to you, Veirya, explained Sisi, wearing a smile.
Maam, nothing happened between your husband and . We only discussed how to do business after he ca to the South. Your husband asked to co back to ask for Queen Sisis assistance. In order to earn Her Majestys trust, he gave the cape. I shall now return it to you.
lissa was bold enough to tease Lin Dongqing in the South. In front of his wife, howbeit, she didnt dare to try anything. She could see that, if she angered Veirya, her deal with Sisi would also have to be revisited from the beginning. Moreover, Lin Dongqing didnt fall for her seduction.
Veirya gave a small nod and took the cape. She didnt think much of the matter, to be honest. Rather, she didnt suspect the woman whatsoever. The one who was actually angry was Sisi. Sisi treated the cape with great importance. She, the Queen of the empire, personally had it made for her lover. There was only one copy in the entire empire, yet he thoughtlessly handed sothing so important to a woman he had just t.
Sisi, having said that, knew that she didnt have the right to be angry. Nobody knew about her relationship with Sisi, and she didnt dare to flaunt it. She couldnt even share the fact that she was pregnant with his child. She brought Veirya on board, hoping to stir Veirya into jealousy so that the latter would punish Lin Dongqing. Unfortunately, her plan failed.
Veirya folded the cape properly then placed it on her thigh, ironing it with her hand. Then, she looked to lissa, who froze until she felt it was safe to assu Veirya wasnt vengeful.
No wonder why he didnt fall for my seduction. I guess a husband wouldnt cheat when he has such a gorgeous wife waiting for him at ho, lissa thought to herself.
Is he. Doing well. There?
All right, I guess? He is not bad in health. Additionally, he has thought of how to proceed. Your husband is a brilliant man. He suggested daring, yet practical and possible, strategy. I truly believe that he will be able to create uproar in the South this ti, answered lissa. She knew that her best option was to complint a womans husband, though she surmised Veirya wouldnt be too happy if she exaggerated too much.
Veirya proudly turned to Sisi to gloat: He really is. Incredible.
I know he is. You dont need to point it out, responded Sisi, wondering, Is Veirya deliberately provoking ?
Sisi crankily questioned, You businesses are enjoying yourselves in the South, arent you? Last ti, you killed my most highly-regarded businessman, Achilles. What are you planning now?
I suppose we are trying to acquire shares in the South this ti. This is the only matter at hand. To be honest, Albert is the only one pursuing it. The businesses in the South are not too happy after being penalised, honestly relayed lissa.
lissa was aware that the South was still considered insignificant in the South. Receiving Queen Sisis support was the best choice, particularly in her situation. Once Sisi successfully gained power in the South, she would have earned Queen Sisis trust.
Is that so? I cant sit around and do nothing, then. I have to administrate the South, Queen Sisi stated, folding her arms. My military should have reached the South by now. Regardless of what your opinions are, the new colony belongs to . All of the assets produced should also be mine.
Yes, Your Majesty, answered lissa.
Sisi nodded then glanced over to Veirya. Veirya, however, wasnt interested in what they were talking about. She stood up and asked, Your Majesty. I want to head back. And put the cape. Away. So. I will leave for the. Afternoon. Do you. Have any other orders?
Ah, no, Mm, wait, wait. Im holding a banquet in the imperial palace tonight. Im sure the nobles would like to see you. I hope you can attend despite Lin Dongqing not being here. Also, is Leah happy with the teacher I found her?
Mm Leah. Does not like him. Because he always. Makes her read thick books. Veirya didnt hesitate to be honest, rendering Sisi stupefied.
Hopeless, Sisi laughed: Forget about it, then. If she doesnt like him, itll only serve to make her unhappy. Veirya, you have to bear in mind, though, that Leah is humanitys imperial capital. I dont want the empires children to be learning from only elves. You understand that, right? Actually, dont worry about it. If you dont understand, Ill tell Dongqing when hes back.
Understood. However. Leah should be. Involved in choosing. A teacher.
Fine, fine, fine, responded Sisi. She sighed and smiled helplessly: Geez. I wonder when you started arguing with . Veirya, is it because Lin Dongqing gave you the courage to? Youre right, having said that. I wont stick my nose in it, then.
