Chapter 94 (1/2)

Chapter 94: Chapter 94

‘Oh, that is the way he rules the empire!’

I didn’t know the emperor’s real self because he was always kind, generous and smiled at me. But when I saw him smiling at the duke with a murderous expression, I suddenly realized one fact. Namely, if I had not been a daughter of the Monique family, he would not have given me a grace period, and he would have punished me who continued to refuse the imperial family.

And even if I were a daughter of the Monique family, he would have me married to the crown prince if he really had wanted. Then what does he really want me to do? Does he want me to be the crown prince’s wife or the successor of my family?

“Princesses, please come forward.”

With the duke standing behind him, the emperor said, looking at the people around him.

Princess Moira, who stood right before me, came out first, followed by Princess Naima, Princess Beary, Princess Frincia, and Princess Beatrice, who was trembling and pale. After glancing at them one by one, the emperor said, “Princess Frincia?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Please go ahead.”

“You came here to conclude an alliance agreement with the empire. I think we have produced a satisfactory result through the secret negotiations for the past one month. Can I expect a good relationship between the two countries? ”

“Of course, Your Majesty. My king will surely be satisfied. ”

“Thank you. Sooner or later let me send the diplomatic delegation to your kingdom.”

After bowing to him, she stepped back.

‘Now I see why she acted differently from other princesses.’

I realized why she was not interested in the crown prince and why she tried to get along well with me unlike other princesses. She came here to secretly sign an alliance agreement. Her application for the prince’s bride candidate was only a trick to deceive others.

“Princess Naima and Princess Beatrice, I’m sorry, but for the same reason I can’t accept you as the prince’s bride candidate. So, go back to your kingdom safely.”

“… Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

When the two stepped back, with their faces white with shock, the emperor looked at Princess Moira. Unlike his casual gaze at the other princesses, he was staring at her sharply.

“You are no exception, Princess Moira. Are you unhappy with my decision? ”

“… No, Your Majesty.”

“Let’s just say one thing for your own good. The Kingdom of Lua is now an ally of my empire, and I’ll dispatch a delegation to the Kingdom of Lisa. Do you understand what I mean?”

“Yes, I know, Your Majesty.”

“Good.”

Although she was full of anger in her green eyes, she stepped back, biting her lip.

Now, Princess Beatrice was the last turn. She was trembling heavily before him.

“Princess Beatrice.”

“I want to give up, Your Majesty. I didn’t even dream about it. ”

“Is your kingdom on the same page with you?”

“Well, that is…”

When she didn’t answer clearly, the emperor smiled at her gently.

“I don’t think your kingdom would balk at my decision. In some respects, your kingdom should be grateful because it was not destroyed by the empire yet.”

“Your Majesty…”

“Don’t you think so?”

“Yes, you’re right.”

“Good. Let me send an official delegation to the Lisa kingdom sooner or later. I want you to stay here until then.”

“Yes, yes, Your Majesty.”
