My first day back had to be reserved for Veirya and Leah; however, I had to go and see Sisi the next day. Although we didnt have an agreent, I knew what Sisi wanted, and she wanted to take the initiative. If I didnt, Queen Sisi might get angry and do sothing nobody wanted to be on the receiving end of it.
Everybody in the rear palace recognised this ti, so the ladies-in-waiting respectfully let through. It was supposed to be when Sisi was most energetic in the morning, yet I saw her sleeping on her bed when I entered her bedroom. A lady-in-waiting told that Queen Sisi slept late as she was busy designing a dress last night. She craved sleep a lot more recently, apparently. Also, the lady-in-waiting hinted that Sisi needed around due to her pregnancy. I wanted to reply, Yeah, sure, the problem is that I cant! Sisi isnt my wife; my wife is Veirya! Im one hundred percent certain she sent an invitation to Sisi, so how am I supposed to spend more ti with the latter?
I sat down in a chair and watched Sisi sleep. The confident and proud Sisi, who even smiled in a scorning manner, slept as peacefully and happily as a child, devoid of her pride and beauty as the Queen of the empire. Perhaps she was enjoying a blissful dream of so sort. I decided not to disturb the beautiful, yet rare, sight.
Sisi finally budged a little when it was ti for lunch, gradually opening her eyes. She rolled over and stretched out her back. Youre finally here, Dongqing. Im very, very happy. How nice would it be if I could see you every day? I think Ill be in a good mood today. Howd things in the South go? You found yourself a very interesting delegate.
Its done. Truth be told, it was supposed to be a personal vendetta, yet I dragged you and others in at the end.
Its fine.
Sisi stretch her back out again and then blithely stripped out of her sleepwear in front of . She went up to the make-up table and rang the bell. The ladies-in-waiting began to nervously tidy the room and fill the bathtub with hot water after entering. Soone brought over Queen Sisis clothes for the day. Maybe it was my imagination, but Sisi rarely wore the sa clothes twice.
Ive also got my hands on the shipyard now. Ive already sent n over to renovate my navy shipyard. However, Ive found a new place to manufacture boats for them. After the deal with the shipyard was settled, they prepared to immigrate to the colony. I, too, have finished my preparations, Sisi filled in, back facing .
If I may be honest, I was quite conflicted at first since I felt that being forced to impregnate Sisi was betraying Veirya. Now, however, I had a trace of affection for Sisi, though I had no ans of identifying if it was because of my child with Sisi. Id still have so feelings for our child even if our child wasnt born in the most ideal way. Perhaps Leah had changed . I was never fond of children before.
In saying that, I do need a general director to go there. Its unimaginable for a group of people, who were conned, kidnapped and whipped before, far from the range of my rule on a new continent, to stay in line. Notwithstanding the fact that I have a military stationed there, people change. If they influence the military, Ill lose the continent forever. Sisi spun around and stepped into the path, gesturing for to co over with her finger while smiling.
I, instead, warily observed Sisi: I cant. No way. I just ca back from the South. I dont hate the South, but I might be stuck there for a long ti after just getting married to Veirya.
Sisi turned around in the water: You can take your entire family. I need soone I can trust and is capable of controlling everyone there. I cant control everything in my current state, after all. Youre my most trusted personal assistant and the noble I count on most. You might gain sothing while acting as the officer of the colony. Its better than running a small-ti business in the imperial capital, isnt it?
I wont go. Im sure you have an alternative. You cant possibly dump everything on , can you? I promised Veirya and the rest of the family that I wont leave anyti soon. At the very least, I want to see my child co to this world.
Whose child are you referring to? asked Sisi, smugly. If youre talking about my child, I think you can go in winter. If youre talking, then you must be trying to purposely deceive . Nobody knows when your child with her would be born. What, if you dont have a child, then youll never go?
I took in a big breath. Honestly, I didnt want to have any part of it. Alas, if I adamantly refused, nothing good would co out of it. Sisi gave everything I had in the imperial capital. She brought over to keep by her side partly because it was easy for her to order around from there.
Later, okay, Sisi? Its been a long ti since Veirya and I have been able to be together. I want to stay with her for so ti. I understand that you have a situation, but please give so ti. Please? Once Veirya and I have settled down, Ill go to the colony.
