Chapter 243. Show His Face (2)
Translator: Aura / Editor: SaWarren
Small tea parties and banquets were held for the distinguished guests who still remained in the imperial palace.
However, the official wedding celebrations were over, so I took some time to make a to-do list.
……
1. Check the Imperial Palace Budget. Look at the account ledgers. ☆☆
2. Check employee numbers, positions, salaries and duties.
3. Check the social welfare policies of the Western Empire.
4. Making preparations for trade with Rwibt — Where do I start? How do I contact Grand Duke Kapmen? A letter? Send someone? I don’t know.
5. Investigate Miss Mullaney’s family situation.
6. Send a birthday gift to Princess Soju.
7. Send a thank you gift to the High Priest. Could it be a donation?
8. Learn more about the history of the Western Empire. There are things I still don’t understand.
9. I need aides.
10. I need an office!
……
However, as I wrote what came to mind, I felt a gaze on me.
It was Mastas. She was staring at the notebook with her mouth half open.
“What’s wrong?”
When I asked, Mastas smiled awkwardly and said,
“Because there are so many question marks.”
“Ah, this is not an official document. I just write whatever comes to my mind.”
“I see.”
Mastas stared in amazement at my list, and as soon as I tapped her arm to stop, she said sheepishly, “Ahh. This is impolite,” and quickly went elsewhere.
Before long, she returned with a white basket.
The basket was filled with all kinds of envelopes.
“What’s this?”
I asked as I put down the pen, Mastas explained with a smile.
“These are letters for Your Majesty the Empress.”
“Letters?”
I knew what that meant.
“They were sent by the young ladies who have a crush on my brother, right?”
I smiled naturally.
I remembered my brother, who was uncomfortable among the beautifully dressed young ladies.
But Mastas immediately replied, “I don’t think so.”
“No?”
“The senders’ signatures are from ladies like this.”
Mastas quickly extended a letter from the basket to me for confirmation.
“Ladies?”
Did the young ladies convince their mothers to send me letters?
Do they want me to approach their families to proceed with the marriage?
First, I opened the gold envelope and took out the letter.
When I opened the letter folded in three parts, clear and flawless handwriting was revealed.
“…”
“What does it say?”
I said to Mastas, “One moment,” then I pulled out another letter and read it.
“…”
After doing it a few more times, Rose poked her head out curiously.
Rose, who had brought another basket, acted similarly to Mastas.
They didn’t know anything.
After reading almost twenty letters, I said confidently.
“Mastas you are right. These letters were sent by the ladies.”
The letters were cordial and friendly, full of congratulations on the wedding and a willingness to approach.
Immediately after the self-proclamation, the families close to Heinley were very nice to me, so I expected the ladies of those families to send me these kinds of letters.
But aren’t these too many?!
I also found it strange that other high society ladies saw me on the last day of the reception and decided ‘not to reject me immediately’.
It was my understanding that half of the high society was on Christa’s side. No matter how careful I acted, they would be prejudiced towards me…
This was strange.
Still, for the moment I had to respond.
“Miss Laura, I think it is necessary to get more stationery.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
