“…… eting Luke has nothing to do with behaving like a proper Empress. Why don’t you let et him?”
“You haven’t recovered from your mory loss yet because of your last injury. The Empress’s mory loss shouldn’t leak outside.”
‘I didn’t think of that.’
If that was the reason, Lyle was likely to stop dea from eting anyone else for a while.
‘I don’t have the ti…….’
“Why do you want to et the Little Duke? Is it because you’re curious about your forr self?”
asked Lyle, studying dea’s face in thought.
dea raised her head. She had to do sothing because she was running out of ti.
“I wanted to try my hand at investing.”
“What?”
Lyle expected dea to make excuses, but this was completely unexpected.
Lyle looked at dea in disbelief.
“Investing? Are you saying you want to invest in the Little Duke?”
“No, that’s not it ……. I don’t know much about that, so I thought I could invest through Luke……. I wanted to have sothing like a mine, but I was looking for a place that hasn’t been developed yet. I thought it would be appropriate if it was in the Solare region, so I inquired of the local maid from there……. Upon hearing the story of a poor lord who is being persecuted by his uncle, I decided I wanted to invest there……”
dea wondered if Lyle would buy the strange story that would lead to the bizarre investnt that would lead to strengthening the area.
“So because you feel sorry for the lord of an estate, you are going to build a mine in his mountainous territory?”
“It’s clear that his father was murdered, but there is no evidence……. They say the family is still under threat. The young lord was said to be previously healthy, now has a mysterious ‘disease,’ and he has a younger sister and a younger brother. I think I can invest and help in that way……”
It was a completely absurd explanation. It was true she wanted to make money in case of divorce, but the reason dea wanted to invest was so embarrassing that she was speechless.
“… If you want a mine, I can buy one for you.”
“I want to invest in that estate.”
She might as well have said to Lyle that she wanted to burn the money.
It was a more intriguing reason than Lyle could have imagined, but he couldn’t have anticipated dea sprouting such nonsense.
“Are you serious about this? You can’t blindly drill a hole in any mountain and make a mine.”
“Of course, I’ll have to send soone to investigate the mountain. In the anti, if I express interest in the estate, it will prevent the uncle from threatening the three siblings.”
This ans I couldn’t fulfill my intention to invest quietly, but Ian’s neck was more important now.
dea was on edge.
Lyle grinned, seeing dea’s steadfast will.
He wondered what he was worried about and chuckled.
“Do you really want to invest there?”
“Yes.”
Lyle swallowed a laugh when he nodded and promised,
“If that is the case… … I’ll attach soone to you without having to bring in the Small Duke.”
Eh.
“No, how could I bother your Majesty? I can just ask Luke … … .”
“The Small Duke would still have to send soone out anyway. There’s no way soone who can be an heir of the Duchy would go down there directly.”
‘I-is that so?’
It made sense when she heard it. It was dea’s personal request, so he wouldn’t be able to handle it poorly, but it’s a small work for a ducal family, and he wouldn’t go to the place that takes 12 days to reach.
‘Still, I thought Luke would definitely have a crush on Seira and protect her.’
It would have been good if they got close. dea beca anxious when he said he was sending soone other than Luke.
“Will you protect them?”
“You seem pretty confident that the lord there is in danger.”
“That’s the situation. It’s suspicious.”
“You can be suspicious in private, but you shouldn’t say that in public. You are the Empress, so you must be wary of being swept away by stories and rumors. Because the words of the Imperial rulers must retain the public’s confidence.”
“I’m trapped here anyway, so I can’t et anyone.”
dea pouted, and Lyle reached out and touched her lips that made a cute expression.
dea was about to shake his hand off but held back.
If he was offended, she would be in trouble if things went wrong. Ian’s life depended on it.
“Yes. I locked the Empress here. My canary……”
Smiling, Lyle looked at dea with a strange look.
dea looked at him as if she were asking him, ‘Why are you doing that?’ She stared at him, and as if rembering sothing, she suddenly blurted out,
“Right! Promise —even if it’s just a vein, it’s my investnt.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“You can’t take back your promise later.”
“Yeah. I know.”
With a self-satisfied smile, dea eyed Lyle’s words. Smirking, she thought, Don’t change your words when you hear about the manastones later!
