"Absolutely, I wouldn't be embarrassed if this stupid bitch were my sister! I wish my father and mother would get rid of this woman!
(You can kick me out. But I think I have to fulfill my duties as a nobleman all the time. I want you to throw me out after it's useful)
"Say something!
Should I say something? But no matter what you say, Sofia's pissed off. Do you keep them in your stomach? No, that's what my tutor taught me. I'll make it difficult, I'll let it go)
"... I'm sorry."
Sophia, who received an apology from Eleonora, snorted her nose and left. Bring her and her maids.
(It looks like goldfish shit. Kuro-chan and Hana-chan, the goldfish I own, also swim with shit. Well, that kind of place, too.)
With that in mind, Eleonora waited two hours in the hall for her father, stepmother, and Sofia. At last, three people came down to the hall. First, I look at Eleonora as if her stepmother Anna was dirty.
"Well, that dress is popular among hookers, right? Eleonora is completely out of stock! Milord, I can't take a child like this."
Her stepmother Anna, with her brown hair tied high and her jagged and jeweled hair, smiled with her nose. Eleonora's dress was designed by Anna. It was Anna's bitter tactic that Eleonora could be absent from the ball.
"No. His Majesty said to make sure he was present this time. Don't worry, she won't even have eyes for such a vulgar daughter."
(I didn't want to go anywhere else. I thought I'd be killed with my corset tightened up. I can't even eat rice with this)
Four members of the Duke of Plepreus arrived in a carriage to the Imperial Castle in the heart of the Imperial Capital. In the carriage, the conversation blooms around Sofia.
Stepmother Anna and half-sister Sofia were very similar. She has the same color as her brown hair, a large drooping eye, a small low nose, a small mouth, and a slender body.
On the other hand, Eleonora had luxurious golden hair, pale eyes, a slightly thin nose, shaped lips, and a very thin waist, as opposed to a large chest and buttocks. Eleonora is never vulgar in any dress, she is said to be always noble and elegant, and in the social world she was blessed by the goddess of beauty. However, since few tea parties or evening parties were attended, they were also called phantom ladies.
Today's ball is for the choice of Emperor Willides Alexei's concubine, who is 27 years old. It is a ball gathering ladies of a family worthy of a single emperor. Of course, Eleonora never leaked.
◇ ◇ ◇
Now, it was last year that a new emperor was born in the Willides Empire, which celebrates 300 years of statehood. His name is Alexei Grachies Willides.
A year has passed since Alexei III, who has silver hair and blue eyes on a smooth and even body, began to live in the imperial castle in the center of the Imperial Capital, but spends almost that day in the office. It is roughly the most murderous room in the emperor's office on the continent, with a large oak desk and bookshelf and a staggering amount of paperwork. The room next to the office has a bed, where you often take a nap.
He had therefore given orders to execute the nobles who were in power in the territory in order to rebuild a country that had been exhausted by years of civil strife.
"I will dispose of the petition here."
The nobles send letters begging for help, but Alexei tells Prime Minister Sergei Bazarov to burn all the pleadings because they don't deserve it.
They are targeted mainly by aristocracy known as anti-imperialists who continued slavery, which was supposed to have been abolished decades ago. After Alexei's reign, the nobles who did not change their attitude were solemnized one after the other.
The nobles who could have been disposed of tried to flee, but the plan failed so much that no one could flee. And even if he tries to drag Alexei out of the emperor's throne, the plot will surely be exposed before it happens.
No matter how careful and covert the plan is, Alexei gets the right information to stop it. As it was entirely unclear how he was getting the information, Alexei was feared to be the emperor who had made a contract with the devil.
"... the Devil Emperor. Nonsense."
In response to Alexei's solitary remarks, Prime Minister Sergei, with his slender body, lifted his tight glasses.
"You should be so afraid. The situation in your empire is still unstable."
"Sergei, you haven't changed since I became Emperor. Everyone was afraid of me and couldn't make any suggestions."
"I believe that only His Majesty is worthy of the Emperor, and I want to work for this Empire until I die. In order to make your position a cornerstone, please choose a suitable daughter for the Empress at today's ball."
"I don't feel like it, but there's no other way."
Alexei sighed and felt depressed about today's ball.
