Chapter 258. Queen Only Loves His Body (1)

Translator: Aura / Editor: SaWarren

Marquis Karl was reporting to Sovieshu about Duke Elgy.

According to Marquis Karl’s report, there were many rumors about dangerous pirates associated with Duke Elgy.

But all those rumors were unfounded, so it was hard to tell if they were simply false rumors.

Once Marquis Karl finished, Sovieshu let out a small mocking laugh.

“Everyone knows that the royal families of maritime countries are in cahoots with pirates.”

Sovieshu said so because Duke Elgy was from the Royal Family of the Maritime Country ‘Blue Bohean’.

“Okay. Anything else?”

“Duke Elgy has had several love scandals in high society.”

“That is well known. How could it be called a rumor?”

“But there is something strange.”

“Strange?”

“Especially in the most serious love scandals, it seems that Duke Elgy always turned out to be the victim, so the other side had to pay a great price.”

“A great price?”

“Those details are not known because the other side remained silent in all cases, but…”

Marquis Karl added with concern.

“I think he is a bad fellow in many ways. It is customary to allow distinguished guests to stay as long as they wish, but wouldn’t it be better to send Duke Elgy away even if an excuse has to be made?”

Then Marquis Karl hesitated for a moment before speaking again,

“Duke Elgy has a close relationship with the Empress, and it worries me because rumor has it that everyone he had a scandal with did not end well.”

The noblemen who attended after receiving the invitation sent by Rashta were impressed.

The tea party was no sham. The large white tables laid out in the garden of the Crystal House looked impeccable, the tablecloths subtly reflecting the sunlight, giving a very glamorous appearance.

The tables were laden with all kinds of delicious dishes, such as crispy baked cookies, chocolate-dusted nuts, light pink and light yellow meringues, and peach pudding, among others. Everything was so well prepared that it would make anyone sigh.

What puzzled the noblemen was that around the glamorous tea tables only they were there dressed in suits. No ladies were seen chatting happily around the tea tables.

Are they coming later? Has the time of the tea party been changed? Are we too early? The nobles had various guesses. But Rashta appeared soon after, and their questions were forgotten.

When Rashta appeared in a dark purple dress and an umbrella, the noblemen’s eyes sparkled.They could not help but marvel. Who else could wear such a splendid and dignified color with such purity!?

Rashta, who stood alone in a purple dress, looked like a lilac blooming in the undergrowth.

“Welcome.”

Rashta smiled sweetly, graciously welcoming the nobles.

“I hope everyone has a good time.”

Then Rashta took a grape from a plate and popped it into her mouth. In an instant, the nobles’ eyes darted to Rashta’s mouth.

Instead of eating the grape right away, Rashta put the round grape between her reddish lips and sucked on it. The grape, which revealed a light green color inside, slowly disappeared from her lips, into her mouth. The scene aroused obscene thoughts.

The noblemen who watched this held their breath unconsciously or swallowed dryly. Rashta said slowly with a smile, “delicious,” and sat down at the head of her table.

“Everyone sit down. Why are you all standing there staring at me?”

Rashta smiled, raising the corners of her mouth slightly. She thought she knew men well. But she didn’t know how to hold their hearts.

If she had known, Alan would not have betrayed her. But she definitely knew how to catch them in no time.
