Chapter 117
Proofreader: somnium
Artizea looked at Hayley. So was Freil.
For a moment, the air in the living room became awkward.
Freil said.
“Your Grace is being ridiculous, is it?”
“I was joking, as the Sir said, what is so awkward about it?”
Freil’s face turned red. Hayley frowned.
“I don’t know what you’re joking about, but you’re not talking about me, are you?”
“Sir Freil…….”

“I asked Your Grace to get Miss Hayley to help me with my work.”
Before Artizea spoke, Freil jumped and said. Artizea grinned.
“He asked me to send you, Hayley, to the army because he thought he would be buried alive in a pile of work.”
“I feel like I’m going to die under the pile of things that I already have, so I’m going to decline.”
Hailey said. And she glanced at Freil.
“You don’t think it’s easy just because I’m preparing flowers and food, right?”
“No, I don’t think so. It seems to me to be the most difficult thing in the world.”
“It is difficult. I really don’t know why people here communicate in such a roundabout way.”
Hayley sighed.

“Besides different types of flowers, did you know that the meaning varies depending on the size and number of flowers?”
“I know.”
“I know it, too.”
Hayley sighed.
“I never thought I would use it in real life.”
And Hayley didn’t have the ability to ask questions for things she didn’t know as lovingly as Lysia.
She had to memorize things she never thought were common sense and even applied them.
Hayley and Lysia were actively engaged in preparations for the Empress’ birthday party.
From invitations, small gifts to accompany it, food for the birthday party, party decorations, and congratulatory gifts to the Empress, there was nothing easy to think about.

It wasn’t just a matter of celebrating the birthday of a noble person.
This is her first public appearance since attending Artizea’s wedding. Unlike the wedding of relatives, this time it was a big banquet held at the Imperial Palace.
All important members of the Imperial nobility and bureaucrats will be present. Some were coming from far away to attend this banquet.
At this point, it was more of a political banquet than a celebration.
Hayley stopped the chatter and said.
“Your Grace, you have a guest.”
“Did Lady Hazel come?”
“Yes. She arrived a little earlier than pointed time, so I escorted her to the parlor.”
“Okay.”

Artizea raised her body up.
Hayley followed her.
Freil made a decision a beat too late. Not only did he have to do the offering, but also the scouting himself.
It’s not just Artizea’s work. If she were to take over a part of Evron’s intelligence network, it would give him a space to breathe.
“Miss Hayley!”
“Yes?”
Hayley stopped walking.
“Are you thinking of changing your position?”
What is this guy talking about, Hayley looked at him with a puzzled look. Freil tried to be blatant.

“There is a job that is much easier and more suitable for Miss Hayley than what you are doing now. It’s important for Evron, so it’ll be rewarding.”
He was like a sledgehammer even as he said it.
Hayley grinned.
“By the way, do you know why I wasn’t a knight even though I was the daughter of the Jordyn family and I was healthy?”
Freil tilted his head.
“I hate the army. I hate knights. If you want to pass on your job, please ask the secret organization operated by Her Grace, not the military intelligence network. There is an interest in that.”
Freil sagged his shoulders.

Hazel looked around the parlor where she was guided nervously.

The furniture was luxurious, but not excessive. There were spring flowers all over the place, and it was gorgeous.
The flowers were sent as samples from the business, who wanted to provide decorative items for the Empress’ birthday celebration, remained after decorating Artizea’s living room and overflowed into the parlor.
She arrived early, so Hazel thought she would have to wait a long time. Even if Artizea was not meeting other people or doing urgent work, it was the same.
There is no need for the Grand Duchess to make the time and come out quickly to meet her.
Considering the difference in status and fame, it was not unusual for her to wait several hours.
Arriving early was simply to be polite. Hazel came prepared to kill time while waiting.
But Artizea came out to the parlor before Hazel had even pulled a little notebook out of her handbag.
